  1. Spoken like somebody who went to film and radio school.
  2. Yeah, I recall that I named McNeese St The Island of Misfit FBS Players.
  3. Well, they do have half our former roster. What, too soon?
  4. Kickoff at once mighty (ca. 2009) Ball State. If I were an alum, I'd go on the message board and rant my butt off. Pathetic.
  5. LSU had a 72% acceptance rate in 2010. That football team surely is attracting a higher quality student and faculty.
  6. Hyperbole. Last I checked it was 16 teams. Not terribly uncommon for a sub .500 team to get in. The 1991 Minnesota Northstars made the Stanley Cup Finals with a sub .500 record.
  7. Every added playoff spot makes the body of work in the regular all that much less valuable until you become the NHL where every team is invited to the party. I don't like playoffs for the sake of playoffs. Why even play in April? Keep Bud Selig around, we'll eventually be looking at 16 teams in the playoffs, 3 7-game series just to win the pennant and the world series competing with the Lions and Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
  8. Who cares? They've got the number one football team in the country, and that trumps everything.
  9. It's tough for the SEC, a professional league from which NFL players take salary cuts, to respect college athletes.
  10. Football is fun, right? As in a significant part of entertainment in the fall? The last time something caused me so much grief that I could think nothing good to say about it, I paid it off and divorced it. I refuse to obsess over trivial things in something that is fun.
  11. I heard he had an allergic reaction to some bad Chellfish.
  12. I'm man enough to admit I still can't get though it with dry eyes.
  13. Having seen me at my tailgating finest, I really doubt you would learn anything new. I do, however, hold my recreational pursuits close to the vest when it comes to current and potential employers.
  14. The only thing I can think of is that he must have REALLY offended some people along the line. Is he not a very nice guy?
  15. Point taken. I didn't notice that little semantic detail.
  16. My kid gets accepted to Alabama, perennial power, and Cal Tech, no football, and Yale, pretend football, Alabama comes in a distant third.
  17. The USADA had shown amazing, uncompromising perseverance over a period of years, in the face of little to no evidence save the testimony of others who plea bargained. They refused to rest until successfully obliterating the legacy of their target. I can think of a few individuals/entities I'd like an organization like that to take a little gander at next.
  18. Eh. I was never without my id on campus. I think the students learn pretty quickly that if food is involved, the id is generally scanned. Maybe a couple kids come without. They'll come up with creative solutions with friends who brought theirs.
  19. Can we? Will we?
  20. Today I learned there is a Minnesota State.
  21. I was informed of no discounts and took no discounts pertaining to mean green club membership. When I learned that I spent several times more than I had to, I shrugged my shoulders and drank another beer. There are three scenarios that would cause me to stop giving at or above 2012 levels, and not one of them is remotely related to benefits received or department staff.
  22. I posted this on the eagles nest. Should've gone here I guess. Anyhoo, I'm really happy for them.I've got a soft spot for the privateers. I really hope this is a good fit for them. Does anyone know if they've scrapped plans for football now that they're staying at D1? I couldn't find an update for that
  23. I gotta admit I've got a bit of a soft spot for UNO. I'm glad they're staying in D1, and I hope this move fits them. http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/8289325/new-orleans-privateers-join-southland-conference-sources-say
  24. You can already get a student ticket at the gate. It is completely unnecessary to go to the union. There is a window at the box office specifically for student tickets.
