  1. Yes, I have embraced the ignore button and been a happy poster ever since.
  2. "Your Redskins" were pretty weak tonight. The NFC East is horrible except for the Boys.
  3. Beat me to it.
  4. I would imagine that they sprayed the majority of the structure and will have to hand paint around the lettering, so they removed the plastic and will just tape it off. My guess at least.

  6. Welcome to the board and great game Saturday.
  7. I'm sure the AD was banking on some Florida exposure for their program. Something tells me this isn't the exposure he was after.
  8. I agree to a degree. The question I posed earlier in this thread hasn't been answered though. Bleil came in last year, installed a new defensive scheme and held SMU to 6 points in game two. The defense also wasn't getting torched to the degree that it is this year. Why should we give Mendoza two years when he has 9 returning starters from last year's defense that didn't look this bad?
  9. Not a requirement anymore.
  10. Those are ventilation pipes. Have been there forever and a day.
  11. McFadden is a man among boys. I hated Herbstriet's comment that he was the best player in the nation, but his team would keep him from winning the Heisman. What's that about. The Heisman was originally created for the best collegiate ballplayer, not the best collegiate ballplayer on a team competing for the national championship.
  12. I'm sure Dodge is going to offer a scholarship to the backup over the starter considering he coached there last year.
  13. I picked out quite a few: Jamario for his freshman year Cobbs Galbreath Wilburn Jones and Jackson from 76 Haynes Pegram
  14. I don't think the skills it takes to hit someone and the skills it takes to be an effective blocker are the same.
  15. My only issue with the "give Mendoza time" side of the coin is that Bleil arrived last year, installed a new system and had us playing pretty good by week two.
  16. That's why I commented that I liked Adler's thinking and editing skills. Make everyone think we are beating UT, everyone shows up, SRO crowd and we hammer TSUSM
  17. If there are 400 people in the photo, then there were 80,000 at the SMU/NT game.

  19. It's a shame the USPS copied us. Thank goodness they, USPS, didn't change their colors to green and white!
  20. I'll start

  22. OU moves forward with appeal to reclaim wins taken away by NCAA By JEFF LATZKE, AP Sports Writer September 12, 2007 TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma has filed its appeal requesting the NCAA overturn an infractions committee ruling that would strip the Sooners of eight wins because of rules violations involving former starting quarterback Rhett Bomar. "We just got acknowledgment that it's been received and in process," university President David Boren said Wednesday following a board of regents meeting. The university notified the NCAA in July that it intended to appeal the ruling that would take away the Sooners' wins from an 8-4 season in 2005 that concluded with a victory against Oregon in the Holiday Bowl. Oklahoma is also appealing a "failure to monitor" violation based on findings that the school failed to track athletes' employment at a Norman car dealership. University officials said details of the appeal would be released in the next several days. Oklahoma has said it would accept penalties including two additional years of probation and reductions in scholarships and recruiting time, but the university believes it's excessive to take away the wins. "I think it's unfair because you're punishing the people that are totally innocent, that did their jobs right and that worked hard," Boren said. "How can another player help it if one individual or two individuals on a team do something wrong? "It's group punishment when it really I think needs to be kept at individual punishment." Boren said he thinks the NCAA gave Oklahoma some credit for taking corrective action quickly and for self-reporting the violations, which occurred when Bomar and offensive lineman J.D. Quinn took pay for work they did not perform at Big Red Sports and Imports in Norman. Bomar and Quinn were kicked off the team in August 2005, with Bomar transferring to Sam Houston State and Quinn to Montana. The NCAA ordered Bomar to pay back more than $7,400 in extra benefits to a charity, and Quinn to make donations totaling more than $8,100. Boren said other schools have claimed they could not get private donors or companies to disclose their personal financial information but "we dug that up our ourselves." "They did not bar us from conference championship and (postseason) competition. They made very small adjustments in our scholarships, which really don't take us below our historic levels," Boren said. "I thought the one thing we had an obligation to particularly appeal was having players and coaches who played by the rules (and) worked their hearts out punished by having their wins taken off the record book. "I think that's something we had an obligation to appeal, and something I hope that the NCAA will take a second look at." The infractions committee now has 30 days to respond to Oklahoma's appeal, and the university would then have its own opportunity for a response. Oklahoma has requested the appeal be handled in writing instead of through a hearing before the NCAA infractions appeals committee. Boren said he expected it would be "a couple of months" before the situation is resolved
  23. Camper was also a QB in high school, I believe at Dallas Samuel.
  24. University of Central Florida. I believe they are in Orlando.
