  1. Pretty much how I felt. I wasn't asking for it, but if you're going to do it at least make it good. I think the story and the acting was pretty solid.
  2. That's a completely fair point, people are going to have passions about certain things that in long run, don't really matter a whole lot. I'm here because I am very happy when our Mean Green do well and while I'm not passionate about the traditions (bonfire, clock tower, scappy, etc), I do see where they hold a valuable place in the University and the athletics program. I do love college football more than NFL for that very reason: people forked over a lot of money to get their degrees from institutions at a very critical time in their young adulthood. I love the bands and revelry and the gameday traditions that each school has. But I just honestly can't relate to being so upset and offended over the student body choosing to make a white squirrel a secondary mascot. So what if it was done before at another campus, do you see people at Alabama complaining that Nick Saban won a title at LSU first? Do you guys really think we were the first University to call ourselves the Eagles!?!? Should we ditch Scrappy because Eastern Michigan did it first? I am intentionally stirring people up in this thread, but if you're really that butthurt over a guy in a squirrel costume (who was just there to greet kids and entertain people) then you kinda deserve to be mocked IMO.
  3. Cry about it, snowflake.
  4. The climate is toasting species out of existence, plastic islands are forming in the pacific, and the world is in conflict over resources, but I'm losing my shit over a guy in a white squirrel costume at a football game. That's healthy living folks.
  5. Well this post here makes me completely in favor of it then.
  6. I mean, that's just simply not true. UCLA literally has their colors copyrighted as UCLA Blue and UCLA Gold, but you'll always see various shades of that blue for sale anywhere you go. I get trying to be specific about the green, my issue is more with those who think they're some sort of martyr for the school because they throw up a fit over an albino squirrel. And when you say Pantone 356 exactly what green is that supposed to be? Because when I started in 2001 we were definitely a forest green until TD came along and lightened it up.We mostly seem to have stuck with that lighter Kelly Green, but you can still find various shades of it in the Apogee store or the campus bookstore.
  7. Wow. Thank you for your service, soldier.
  8. I was on campus when it happened, it was never any kind of intention to replace Scrappy or Mean Green or Eagles as a mascot, it was only intended to be a secondary mascot because people liked seeing them around campus. It's funny to see how worked up people on this board get over it, but I guess they gotta be upset at something at every opportunity.
  9. "Underwhelming" "3.5 of 5 stars" uh...okay. I guess you'd call that underwhelming?
  10. And now the white house spokesman is just openly admitting to it and saying so what. And then on the same day saying they're gonna violate the emoluments clause. What happened to all those constitutional conservatives who lost their minds when Obama gave semi-legal status to DREAMers?
  11. Your loss I guess.
  12. Nor did they ever with the squirrels. And so what if it's not a 'unique tradition', people liked seeing them around campus and they became a little bit of folklore. God forbid people have fun while they're in college other than watching football.
  13. Crazy man. I also heard UT had professors and students and a football team before UNT. Sounds like we we sing the praises of longhorn nation a lot around here.
  14. This is all a deep state setup to try and blame trump for investigating biden. Q anon told me so.
  15. I agree. I only make maybe 1-2 games a season but I can't remember the last time they did a full show and not wasted 2 songs on the dancers.
  16. You completely missed my point. I'm countering the fact that you said Trump was the most made fun of president because those hateful memes (and racist ones like greenminer mentioned) are still going around.
  17. Lemme stop you right there: I still see new Michelle Obama is a transsexual memes floating around.
  18. This rules actually, and hopefully is the beginning of the end for the NCAA. I will not be reading any replies.
  19. You laughed at the source, i showed you that the incompetence of this administration was responsible for it. I didn't say anything about impeachment.
  20. The source being a congressional Democrat because the White House accidentally sent the talking points to them.
  21. I, too, take everything RBG has said to be the absolute truth.
  22. the replies to this thread will certainly be reasoned and well-thought out.
  23. Yes, but not 4.5 point dogs to SMU concerned.
  24. First game in year 2, he still has some time. Gotta find a worthwhile QB though, DTR was atrocious last night.
