Quoner

Wow - if only that post would have gotten the appreciation it deserved in the four minutes you waited to praise it. Insert Doyle King laugh here.

Vito could have run this long ago. He waited until he had a stronger article and he also let the stadium vote happen. Most of this has been floating around the ether for awhile and we are somewhat lucky the vote is over.

It's weird - it almost seems like they take the results of last year, evaluate the new and returning talent, and then create a new system of rankings based on all of these factors. That being said, UTA owns us, but we can thank them for a shiny new replay monitor and some new glass on the locker room door, so it's kind of a wash.

Is this another bit? Sweet lord...

mo' posters.

The unnamed mystery Web site would be well-served to learn the difference between "brought" and "bought." Between that and misspelling "tornadoes," this sounds like one of those livejournal-esque sites that someone starts whenever a company screws them over. In other words, between the crappy format and grammatical mistakes, it's no different than TY Sports. On a serious note, I'd be curious to see the same stats for 2006 and 2007. Anyone know a good Insurance Pro, preferably with Mean Green ties?

Can you imagine what the attendance numbers would be if we could count the police arriving when someone gets the crap kicked out of them DJing while the game is going on? Also, can we just revisit the whole "clenching a bowl birth" thing? I have no witty comment, but I'm not ready to let it go yet.

I meant the spirit of what you've done is alive in Vito. I like to imagine both of you in a room with you naked playing a harp while Vito types furiously to meet deadline. Also, I'm there covered in apple pucker and lube playing a pan flute, but no one ever looks in my direction.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think the defending Dickey side of the Dodge debate is more to show that things aren't much better under the new guy, not that Dickey was a misunderstood genius savant. The guys who should be somewhere laughing this season should be the other candidates passed over for the job, not DD and RF. They had their turn.

Ty Sports is in your internets, writing up your stories.

The best way to do a recap is to get off the board around 5:00 pm on a Friday and wait to visit it again until 8:00 am Monday morning. That way you just get to sit back and experience the game weekend the way God intended before He invented the internet to ruin society and destroy us all. Sure, you can sit on the internet and bitch that we basically run the same 5-6 plays all day, but no one gets to see the beauty and hope of yet another pass to the flat, each one full of its own hope that this will be the one where we spin out of the close defenders grasp and dash to glory. Sometimes the true beauty of a 1-3 yard pass play is the audacity of hope that comes with it. And, that my friends, is something boring old Dickeyball never offered us. you knew that the rush would end unless the whole was perfect - the pass to the flat gives you just a few more moments to dream. And aren't dreams what make America great? Let's read some links: Backing up to Friday, I still cannot believe someone took this seriously. As one unidentified poster put it - "maybe he is a genius doing a bit and this is why he keeps saying things like 'we'll win this weekend.'" Bonfire was reportedly awesome. "A good crowd with the spirit of stunned sheep, but I guess 0-7 will do that." A Troy Phillips' pecial report - a good measure of a defensive back is how many tackles are made in a bad defense. Somewhere, the Big 12 stats guy who made one of A&M's DBs the defensive player of the week after Army threw four passes all game is smiling. But, it was positive press and it didn't mention the record or that we allowed TDs on 33 of 47 first half drives, so we'll take it. Wait, it did. Troy - you bastard! Wow, it's been a year since Navy? Bring back Eric Russell - he's my favorite poster on the board! Savior the numbers - we're in the 400 club! If anyone wants to do some homework, they should look at conference games only and see if we've ever had a worse run excluding "bodybag" games. Oh, more fun numbers can be found here. Is it just me, or has Harry never sounded this beaten before? We need to get the sunshine gang out to his place, pronto. Brett Vito's a dick - now in radio form! When things are falling apart and the coaching staff seems in disarray, there is only one logical target for your scorn - Vizza! The Wheels Are Off The Bus (both as a metaphor for football and grammar:) "the offense is bad, the defense is worse, special teams is not special, and the playbook needs trashed. there is no entertainment value. we are watching the worst team in north texas history. it is time for the dodge experiment to end." Watch how quickly this thread goes from the WKU line to transfer talk - it's almost amazing, except that crap like that always happens here. All it needs is for 66 to show up and compare the kickoff return to West Texas know-how and Rush Limbaugh. Ican has tickut offis? http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/index.ph...43932&st=15 A tradition as old as golf, er time, is SMU really a rival? (with a special appearance from one of our outstanding Dodgefans) Haha - there band has a fat person in it and none of us are fat, so it is really funny that we point out how fat she is! Haha - look at fatty! She's so fat that when she eats a meal, it is bigger in size than what a normal person would eat on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Haha - stupid fatty. go run on a treadmill. That's why I like our fan base: trim, fit and classy. I hope they can airlift that big fatty fat-fat all the wya back to Alabama.

Interesting take - the VP matters because of...Cheney? http://belowthebeltway.com/2008/05/27/does...esident-matter/

The Monday Morning Recap would be funnier, so that's nice.

To be fair, the guy is a real professor (just like the FIU and ULLAF ones.) He's even on MySpace and Facebook! This bit has been going on for a few weeks now - and, I am sad to report, not aimed at Kram1. It's just our answer to an X's and O's intensive game preview.

I'm cheering for them this weekend (and in the South this year), but I just can't pick them. I'm worried they will bust quicker then a T. Boone Pickens investment. However, since Texas is only #39 in total defense and #111 against the pass, they definitely have a shot.

What if you were 95% sure you were going to vote for McCain, but Palin is giving you that 5% of pause? I've seen Palin defended from the "media crusade" against her, but no one has told me why she is anything more than a stunt and a distraction. I'm all ears.

TTU has played 0 ranked teams. OSU has played 1 ranked team. Give it time- at this time last year Boston College was #2 in the country having played no one except VT.

I'm amazed it has lasted this long. I even lobbied Lorenzo to have my title changed to "Mean Green Facepainter," but sadly, the request goes unheeded. Also, what's so dirty about liking Mario Bros. villains and cake? Think it was a coincidence those ghosts covered their faces and froze every time you faced them directly?

Bob and Dan are my favorite show because they are the only ones that still balance sports and comedy the way all of the shows used to. Plus, they are the only ones who understand hockey, which is a second plus. The ESPN shows just kill me...Cowherd, the Mikes and all the others can eat a plate of fluffy kittens.

If you guys jump 50 pizzas on a motorcycle, I will publicize you beyond your wildest dreams.

Jub also spent my drive into work explaining why the Cowboys can steal the next two games and be right back in the division when Romo gets back because he has a feeling they'll circle the wagons after the Rams game, so that's nice.

I thought about posting this two days ago, but just couldn't do it. So, I did the honorable thing and flooded one of my cobloggers inboxes with the pictures from this story and related photos I could find.

I think the dashes are morse code.

I hear Dallas Jesuit is doing well and investing wisely.
