I just logged in to see whether you'd made any jinx posts. Progress?

Jordan Williams played for Kimball... Did someone get confused?

Oh, the "JJ better ___ or else ____" bit must live on forever. This is not up for debate. I'm taking about Lifer's late-season running gag about how we'd never win anything ever again.

If we win 80% of our games this year, that's not bad. Besides, I love the bit.

We're all excited. But, for the good of the team, I'm going to have to insist that you mask your true feelings and sustain the bit that gave us such good luck at the end of last season. Can you? Will you?

This isn't Waco. We don't do that sort of thing here.

Overlander is taking a ship. Overlander, Odoh, and To Be Determined.

Out of context funny FTW!

My only real awareness of college football before Barry Alvarez and Brent Moss turned Wisconsin around is West Virginia playing Notre Dame in a bowl game for the national championship. I was 8 years old, and I still remember seeing the West Virginia players sing their fight song on the broadcast. 23 years ago, playing for a national championship. They made the Final Four 2 years ago, too. I'd make Courtland take a bullet for that tradition.

I'm not that popular. And most of the rest of the board sucks at capitalization.

G =/= g. Fact.

I can think of at least one guy. Player parent.

BIH, P.

Wisconsin fans (and band) once rushed the field at a road game where they were blown out by 40 points (or something like that). They tore down the other team's goalposts and carried them around chanting "We scored first!" Trivia note: It was a safety.

Also, I can say with 100% certainty that I owe far more of my professional growth and reputation to a local sports franchise than I do to my North Texas degree.

Politics? - YES! Eagles Nest? - NO! 24 hour posting suspension? - YES!

Not anymore. Patton filled our last open ship. We have a full 13 on scholarship this year, 3 of them finishing eligibility after the season. Barring transfers or academic casualties, we have one open scholarship remaining for the 2012 recruiting class.

This thread made me re-evaluate my life priorities. I'm giving up my season tickets to all sports and spending that time volunteering at the hospice instead.

Give CBL a break. It's not often that metallurgy street cred pays off in North Texas sports related conversations.

A good summary. Also, we've had some politics talk issues in recent months... Unpleasantness all around. Anyone who missed it- the less said, the better. Historically, we have issues with inflammatory political content, trolling, and abrasive "conversations" under 3 circumstances: 1) Teams (particularly football) not playing well 2) Off-season 3) Elections Check your standings and your calendar... Part of the aggressive tightening down is in anticipation of the weeks and months ahead. There have been periods in board history when political content and discussion was completely off limits. At the moment, it's still welcome and allowed (within the other rules on trolling and civility) on the Eagles Nest. Anyone who takes issue with the rules, take it up with the boss. It's his site and if he decides to change where and how people can talk politics on GMG, that's when things will change. Until then, politics in the Eagles Nest only. And keep it friendly there, too.

I remember he came in with the 'slasher' tag, and seemed to drive more his Junior year here. I wonder whether shooting more from the perimeter was his choice, or something the staff coached him to do?

I think I speak for most, if not all, North Texas Exes when I say that we have no idea (clap-clap-clap-clap) what you're getting at.

When you (or anyone) see political content outside of the Eagles Nest forum, be sure and use the Report button (bottom left of the post) to flag it for moderator attention.
