I was ready to say three pages ago that CBL won this thread. That, and Quoner's avatar.

more circle drill talk.

Yeah, like 80 freaking times!! You kidding me???

Thanks for joining GoMeanGreen, UNT SID! Welcome to the forum! We only allow you to read the first 5 threads of the day... After that, you'll have to stop viewing the forum activity. If you try to read the board, even not logged in, we'll have to ask you politely to leave or remove you from the premises involuntarily. Thanks, and GMG!

"give me your knowledge" is the creepiest thread title not involving the word "Storm" in a decade. Also, I bet it makes the panties fly off in the bars of Knoxville.

OMG!!!

The different shade of green is a given (zing!), and I feel you on the outline... but I'll stand by my "basically" the same as the last Dickey helmets. That will be the common perception, accurately so... and that's not all bad, because at least it (loosely) establishes a little consistency in the look.

Combine this with bringing back Dickey's helmets, and...

It's basically the Dickey '05-'06 helmet with a white facemask then, right?

Now we can relive the great Meager/Wilson QB controversy era into perpetuity!!!!1!

So did the Lake Highlands Wildcat Wranglers! I bet we have some of the same viral strains. High five?

But what are Mark H.'s thoughts on Libia?

Between this and the triumphant return of "Libia", everyone wins! Even Gabe Kapler!

A-ha, gotcha... in that case, agree totally. I've always seen Texas as its own animal anyway, exclusive of the South. Matter of opinion, of course, but I feel plenty of Texas Pride, and not a drop of "Southern Pride." You hit on a great point here, as well... the Southern Pride argument, as little as I understand it to begin with (I could expound on what TFLF said here, but won't), is made even harder for me to understand by the fact that people from Texas, GA, MS, AL, wherever - choose to show "southern pride" by flying the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia (later Second Navy Jack). It either displays a misunderstanding of history (understandable, given the modern proliferation of the stars & bars), or a desire to stir the pot by supporting such a polarizing emblem. Likewise, any CSA related flag represents the darkest four year period in the history of "The South" (whatever that really means). Hardly seems like the best representation of "Southern Pride", but to each his or her own. JMHO.

But isn't that tempered a bit by the fact that the Lone Star Flag had already been the official flag of the Republic of Texas and had been in use for 22+ years when the civil war began? It already had other significance and meaning, and was naturally used in an unofficial capacity by some units of Texans in the Civil War - as it would have been regardless of which side the Texans might have fought on. It was never a uniquely Confederate flag, so it escaped the connotations therein.

I know it's technically not perfect history, but when explaining it to those utterly unfamiliar with our situation, I just use the Elephant > Crimson Tide/Oakland A's, Ibis > Hurricanes, War Eagle > Tigers, Tree > Cardinal bit and it usually satisfies the situation.

I'm like a kid on Christmas morning right now. This is going to be fantastic. What'll he do NEXT, folks?!?

See, you said "writer", but then you linked to Bleacher Report. Hey, we all make mistakes!

Don't be so quick to the trigger... Ryan Braun is hitting over .300, and with the upheaval at the QB position in Minnesota, playing time for Sage Rosenfels isn't out of the question....

STOP ASKING HIM FOR ONLINE REFERENCES. Have you no long term memory?!? Have we not been getting some big weather around here lately as it is?!? If nothing else, do it for Libia.

Yup. Drive by it every day, and it's angled to face away from the road, which is kinda weird. Still kinda cool.

Everything's better on final release.

So it's basically a return to the late-Dickey era helmet (assuming this is it), right? Even the green looks similar. I hate myself for replying to this thread.

..and please, CBL - be descriptive... and type slooowwwllyy.
