Remember when BYU pulled that off around 1984ish? That's what got this whole BCS thing started when the major conferences started circling their wagons to keep those unwashed masses in those filthy smaller programs out of the running.

Postseason success is what brings people to basketball games later on. I don't think average attendance at Gonzaga was all that much more than the rest of the WCC before they started dancing over bigger schools in the tourney each and every year. 20+ wins and not even an NIT bid just ain't gonna' cut it. Look at the market. I'm hearing people out there pissing and moaning about the Cowboys being 8-4 and what a miserable team they are. Today's sports fans want to follow champions...of major events. Sunbelt championships alone ain't gonna' bring in this dude. Until we start at least reaching the sweet sixteen, and more than once, I think we're looking at the crowds of 4,000 people that we have.

I guess the brilliant offense engineered in SLC got its butt whooped by OU once again.

Yeah, in both cases there was an uncomfortable pause before answering. It was hilarious.

Young wasn't pleased with us at all. He especially didn't like the Olive Oil girlfriend remark. The reaction of the NMSU player afterwards when filmerj said good game in the tunnel was priceless. I had fun playing in the student section. I'll try to make my way down there more often.

Bottom line is that there is either one FBS or there isn't. The current situation is a quasi two division setup. Either make it explicitly two divisions or let all eleven conferences participate.

What was our final points allowed per game average? Funny, I couldn't find any similar pictures with O-fence. Seriously. Teams are ringing us up for 50 points in the first half then sending out the kids from the short bus in the second and we're worried about our offense?

I know we have club baseball here, but that's all I know. When do they play? Where do they play? Who do they play?

(on the phone) What? You are? Hold on. Let me ask. Honey! Some of the guys said they were thinking of going to the UNT game on Saturday. Do you think I could go? She said I can go! What? You are? Hold on. Let me ask. Honey! The guys said they were thinking of bringing their balls with them to the game... Credit to Sam Kinison, but I couldn't find the actual routine to quote, so the above is a paraphrase.

It was the great Pepsi bust of '89 that really sent shockwaves through the panhandle.

Would you like a rat's ass? Well, I don't have one, so I couldn't give one.

Put the special teams players on one end of the track. Put some incentivizing object at the other end of the track. Say, "Go!" Rig the track so that any time any person steps out of his lane, he gets a not so mild electric shock.

I'm going for a gutshot(gun) straight. I hope the dealer spreads my card. If I can stay in this game a little longer, perhaps I can play with my own cards.

If you got an up close and personal view of the choke hold he placed on Tramiel like I did, you'd be rooting for him to get into the WWE.

We noticed last night that Sam Houston had a player from Lithuania. I recall quite a few Europeans on Big West teams back in my day as well. How exactly does a school like Sam Houston or Long Beach State go about recruiting in Lithuania? Can you see the conversation? Johnny: Yeah, um Rick, I need a ticket to Lithuania. Rick: What? Why? Johnny: There's a big tall kid over there I'd like to take a look at. So Johnny gets on a plane, spends God knows how much money flying over there, eats some gnocchi soup with the kid, and doesn't sign him. Ouch! So seriously, do the European kids come over here looking for colleges? Is there some universal NCAA scout that goes to Europe and reports back to all schools? How does it work?

Dude, did you see Scrappy tackle him going back up into the seats? You alright man?

Those 3241 people in attendance were awfully loud during those last SHS free throws.

Assuming the QB doesn't keep the ball like he should, the tailback will be about 3 yards closer, or approximately 2/3 of a second less for the defense to read and plug the hole in the offensive line.

Fishing in Beaver Lake? Catching anything?

Just once, I'd like to see a snap from under center wrist cast! They were on their 4th bass and it was only 2 feet away!

High school lakes are better than this! Time to pass a student aquifer fee!

If we could make more per game, perhaps we could afford black pants.

UNT finished 44th out of 90something. The anglers were each awarded a reel sticker for their efforts.

Can't make it. I've got too much class for this game...Accounting class that is!! Actually, if the wife's home, maybe I'll swing by after class since I'll already be on campus.
