Quoner

Which in turn means more electric scooters to give away at next year's tournament.

Flagged for suggestive innuendo

You guys are ruining the serious football talk and embarrassing us in front of recruits.

I win

ESPN has them in as well - USA as an 11 seed and WKU at 13

not true.

I covered this story as a special TY guest the day it broke - in your face, t-shirt company!

I would restate that as it is how well your fans support you in good times and in bad that counts.

We've been talking to Timmy about it and his bosses have asked him not to speak publicly since the DMN is formally protesting the ban. Since we had a similar ban from covering the Sun Belt tournament in an official category, we let him know we share the same pain, which he found highly amusing.

This is a bit suggestive for my taste, but I won't report you this time. Congrats!

They obviously have nothing on the Orlando Magic. Now if you'll excuse me I am off to post more "pornographic" images of people in clothes on the football board.

Wish I would have seen this before my last TY post. Good stuff.

The new Q4U attitude is paying off.

Just making sure that everyone knows Justin posted on his own blog. Not that we wouldn't have given him the forum if he asked, but we don't want to take the credit, blame or whatever else you call it. I also can't believe JD killed my rebel rep. I hope "bad boy with a heart of gold" plays just as well. One more thing - I saw another thread about how creative expression is being stifled for real sports talk here with all of the jokes, and started thinking about that. I think 5 years of the same threads on stadiums, future plans, schedules, conference moves and what not have really run their course to many. The big threads you see now detail announcements or rumors and usually spend more time attacking the person making the claim (however justified) than anything else. Couple that with the disdain for media and AD members, and you have a recipe for a pretty volatile board. I have no idea how you fix that, but, unlike most of you, I spent the night drinking and pondering other issues and will now simply ramble off my thoughts. Wait, that is like most of you. The insider board continues to stay on topic and avoid these pitfalls and I think part of the ripple effect of moving the "real info" down there has made this main forum seem much more devoid of substance. A thread with a joke pyramid in it gets lost to most when new threads pop up with recruiting info or deeper analysis of position players. In the new system, it just sits and festers and gathers page views and more reactions than ever before. This particularly seems to tweak those who take the board and its impact way too seriously and probably represents a greater discomfort with what blogs and message boards have done to college athletics. Virtual water coolers don't exist anymore - not the way they did here a few years ago. I deal with clients who wonder why they can't control a blogger or discussion on a daily basis about a person or brand. They are the authority and should be able to reel things in as such. The problem is no one stays silenced. They start another site or another board. They enlist followers or support. I don't think TY is any rebel force or anything and it was never even intended as a Mean Green-focused site (or anything people would read - why do you think I write about hockey so much while TTG caters to you monkeys), but the desire for someone to take a different perspective paid off for us. We make sure to play nice with this board and others not for any gain or back-scratching, but because I think we solve a mutual problem. For us, it's being allowed to carry out shtick and have the ability to be serious when we like without boring readers with other rooting interests to tears. For the admins (this is assumed), it is a chance to unload some of the crap we would post here and save them warnings, bannings and other unpleasantness. The fact that we have grown to be somewhat friendly from what was formerly discipline-only conversations was just a pleasant side effect, like getting a lollipop after an AIDS test. Some of you will never care for me and I get that - it doesn't keep me up at night or anything - but I find the implied contentions that I ruined this board pretty funny and a gross overstatement of my worth and influence. If I had that kind of power, I would be infiltrating the interwebs Edelman-style (but not getting caught) and making millions of PR dollars (look up Edelman and Wal Mart if you don't know what I am talking about.) Yes the site is evolving, but it was doing that before I got here and it will do that as the program continues to go on and officials, coaches and players come and go. The best thing to do is to continue the comments that talk about managing this change rather than pointing fingers, pouting or anything else. If you are so convinced that crude jokes run people off the site, imagine how other new visitors react to a slap fight over what should be censored. If you want more sports, just talk sports and see who joins you. If you want the status quo - don't change. If you want more Richard jokes, make more Richard jokes and see what happens*. If its that important to you, work on creativity and coding it rather than volume. There's several people you can PM for help on this. Finally, Knibb High Football rules! (looking forward to who will post the proper response to this ender.) And....scene. *not recommended

Channel 5 has an afternoon producer as well....but not so much on the evening crew

The roman governor caught a lot of flack for promising that it would be built in a day, but then he waited for something good to happen and proclaimed it proudly on a stone tablet the townspeople loved to right on, usually after the local gladiator team hit a significant milestone in slaughter. This rubbed some philosophers the wrong way, but they were quickly blacklisted and had their bosses called. Some were never seen again. Then everyone became Christian and the Huns showed up.

If it helps, when I registered I figured I'd be banned within a month. FFR even called me a troll. I guess I'm the good kind of troll that doesn't charge tolls or eat babies.

Channel 11 has a strategically placed NT alum who does his best to get us on as often as possible. Trust my inside sources.

This is a football town baby! If you don't like the Cowboys, you can GEEEEEEET out! Sounds like it was a good birthday!

Celebrate the birth of one Mr. Playmaker by posting your favorite memories in this thread.

Hope he can get a flight in....

Isn't it a little ESPNish to place a post in the underrated bucket when it has been up for 7 minutes? Still, it scores points - especially for accuracy.

change the heads a bit and I have that photo above my bed.

That's what she said.

Maybe the dominoes are falling for Mandy to replace Slinker
