  1. or maybe "Dangit, Mendoza, I'm getting tired of Chapman passin' gas in the Prayer Circle ! I thought you were gonna take care of this"
  2. That Lousiana State Police car was a sad-looking thing. I expected Buford T. Justice himself to hop out of that thing. And the fact that the ULM escort was driving a DODGE indicates that deep down inside, they knew who was gonna win.
  3. That block was what the officials were conferring over. Apparently one of them thought at first that someone had come off the bench, since they both likely came back onto the field after the block. The others were probably reminding him that #82 lines up in the slot every play.
  4. It doesn't work so well on punt returns.
  5. Those topics are old news. Let's talk about tortillas. Or about how much Boomer sucked at the FAU game. I've heard more pop from a bowl of Rice Krispies.
  6. "Thank you for coming. Having our fans here means a lot to these guys and our program." or something similar
  7. A money game does not have to be a "body-bag" game. The BCS team is paying us to not have to return a game in Denton. Why can't we go somewhere, kick their ass and still walk away with half-a-million ? This WILL happen, only question is when and who will it be. I am curious about the K-State deal, though. I'm thinking it's a 2-for-1. I'm wondering if we're getting a half-money-game fee (say 250-300K maybe) for each appearance at K-State. That might not be so bad....2 years of 1 1/2 money games with one Fouts sellout in between. Alabama would have to be my favorite SEC place to do a money game. There are more winnable venues in the SEC, like Vanderbilt or So Carolina, but they won't pay as much as the top dogs. And the visiting fans don't have to avoid Molotov Cocktails (college football version) like at LSU. That might be why they're paying 700K now.
  8. Well, you're 0-for-2. Although I do agree that Washington should beat the poorly-named Giants.
  9. You hi-lited the wrong part. "After a scrimmage kick has crossed the neutral zone" is the pertinent part here. The FAU Defensive End made a bonehead play that was thankfully for him nullified by the fact that he was in the offensive backfield, even if only by a few feet. Had he been on the defensive side of the ball (beyond the neutral zone) it would have been a "Leon Lett" play.
  10. In Danny's defense..... He was running for his life much of the night. The main reason FAU went to jumping the short routes in the second half is that they knew their 4-man rush pressure would not allow any double-move plays to develop downfield. Continuous 2-and 20 from Holding penalties doesn't help. Troy Aikman himself would have thrown picks on the 2 fade routes. I'm wondering if those were specifically called. If so, I hope they learn that fade routes are a misuse of B-Jack (negates his speed). Stickler had 3 HUGE drops in the open field
  11. Shot Down In Flames ? wait..that was last year... Back In Black ? no..that was last year too... Girls Got Rhythm ? okay, now we're gettin' somewhere... Problem Child ? that might be more appropriate for UT... Jail Break ? again, better suited for the teasips. Mack might need to organize one of those before the OU game... Whole Lotta Rosie? might be good for Arkansas St... Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap ? would make Quoner happy... But the song, selected by Rick Villareal in response to stadium queries is Money Talks
  12. Aggy is probably regretting the decision to purchase this doggie from the Ron Mexico Puppy Farm.
  13. I think that for the last home game (WKU) halftime show, they should surprise everyone with black flags.
  14. 31 points on the board (even though could have been more) is still more than enough to beat the likes of SMU. Why not just admit that this re-channeled Dickey-hate ?
  15. Are y'all suggesting they have opinions that matter?
  16. The K-Index is not used widely in these parts, it's more of a tropical regime tool for airmass activity. The best severity indexes are the Lifted Index (lowest 100 mb method) and Total-Totals, even though TT does have the same problem that Showalter Index has (850mb dewpoint may or may not be representative of low-level moisture). The SWEAT Index works well here as well since it has an argument for wind direction turning with height. Have you done the RAP/UCAR online modules ? Great stuff. About the game conditions, it will depend on whether afternoon convection in OK can produce strong enough outflow to bump the front. Hope not, but possible.
  17. Yep. Punks with (unearned) money not smart enough to get into Rice, Stanford, or the Ivy League. They remind me of the Philip Seymour Hoffman character in 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'.
  18. They're probably paying him to show up. They've done it before.
  19. Running plays that break for big gains is not running up the score. Executing a 2-minute drill (with timeouts) when the score is 42-0 is running up the score. Blitzing when the score is 77-10 is most definitely piling it on, however, the Def Coord. likely made this call.
  20. Glad someone started this. I'm getting the "TJ" vibe from him already. Please let me be wrong on this.
  21. He could have just as easily scored 50-55, gotten everyone some work, and had everyone ready for Miami. But that would have risked not covering.
  22. I think we should appreciate the Utah State Aggies for being one of those "little sisters".
  23. I remember it originally aired after Saturday Night Live. During the first season, they had a contestant that had played fullback briefly for the Patriots. During the "Breakthrough", he didn't even try to juke Gemini, just dropped his shoulder and literally flattened him. I don't think they were expecting that.
  24. I'm in D, row 13 seat 13. There's a message in there, somewhere.
  25. Which school has a problem with it ? Grapevine or (Richardson) Pearce ?
