I think this story is relevant to whatever investigation is going on, but I am completely unoffended by it. Good for Nelson Peterson for getting out of the hoosegow and getting a job (assuming he actually has to show up, of course). Even better that it's in a location where he can go to his son's games.

The Great Joe Bob (A Regional Tragedy) He was a panhandle prince…ahhh Schoolboy football king They told him "Hi" in the halls 'Cause he could run them balls But it was rumored (down deep) he was mean He dated high-tone girls With frosty pom-pom curls But he never gave out his ring He was the best of the best He met the grid-iron test An there ain't nothin…as American An clean Chorus: He was the pride of the backfield Ahhh the hero of his day Yeah he carried the ball for the red and blue They won District Triple-A An his name made all the papers As the best they'd ever had Yeah so nobody understood it When the Great Joe Bob went bad First he lost his scholarship To Texas Tech For drinking during training An breaking the coach's neck Then he got suspended (ahhh) for acting obscene Around the Cum-Laudy, Cum-Laudy Daughter of the Dean So… He took up with a waitress Named Loose Ruby Cole While she was a-hoppin' tables Down at the Hi-D-Ho An he met her on the sly When her daddy weren't around Yeah but he stopped making yardage When he started messin 'round (chorus) Yeah it spread like a country wildfire That something big had gone all strange Joe Bob the Greatest Halfback Was actin half-deranged…ahhh He'd been seen out with this woman Gettin drunk and havin fun Yeah he growed his hair, then gived up prayer An said, "Football days is done" Then… He and old Loose Ruby Robbed a Pinkie's Liquor Store An had a run-in with the law When they's runnin out the door An Joe Bob's fate was sealed For the next century Yeah he traded in the pigskin For the penitentiary (chorus) --Terry Allen

Dear Lord Baby Jesus, Please watch over the wellbeing of Jamario's hamstring. Amen.

Seems like last year TE wasn't one of our strengths anyway, and now we have one fewer. I think the extra WR is a no-brainer. A QB is going to have to step up, regardless. Even if Jamario 2004 is back, he'll need some kind of help.

Hey, at least they pick us to beat FAU for the first time ever.

Assuming more violations on his part aren't revealed, I'd take him. He might be a retard, but my guess is he just didn't think he'd get caught. If you think he's overrated, you didn't watch OU play last year. Bring him in and put the hammer down on him. Make him work in the dorm cafeteria if he wants a job. I don't want NT to be the halfway house for football criminals, but it isn't like he committed armed robbery or beat up a girl.

So you're saying that, 10 or 15 years ago when he left here, you said we should have made him the head coach because you knew how successful he'd be down the road? I find that hard to believe. Wasn't he just a QB coach?

You better find some wood to knock on. This is the time of the year for bad news.

That was a great play. We saw the shoe go off from way over in our seats in lower section C. My favorite is still his first touchdown against Colorado. Was that his first carry of the day? I just remember being so down after Andrew Smith died, we got smoked by UT 65-0, Cobbs was out, and Kevin Moore (good backup at the time) mysteriously didn't make the trip to Boulder. It looked like the season was gone, and out of nowhere this freshman rips the Buffs a new one. When he broke into the open field, it was like all the NT fans at Riprock's suddenly got an adrenalin shot.

I'll list some of my favorite lines from favorite movies. "Somebody's gotta go back and git a sh!tload o' dimes!" "Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, dude, at least it's an ethos." "This is the worst lookin hat I ever saw. I bet if you buy a hat like this, you get a free bowl of soup." "Wait a second there, professor.... we just went ahead and fixed the glitch."

Can't believe nobody's mentioned Dos Equis. Lager, not amber.

Isn't Jeremiah Chapman around 235?

Not to mention a damn fine Reuben sandwich and the best onion rings in town.

Wow. Just when I thought the whole Net Neutrality debate was going to go away, PMG starts posting again. So much for bandwidth.

That's insane.

genius

I'm usually too full from the 12 beers and 4 bratwursts, 25 hot wings, or 1/3 of a New York party sub to worry too much about what they have at the concession stand. That is, other than the obligatory 3rd quarter funnel cake.

Damn good way to look at it.

One thing I've noticed in all these "preview" articles. Isaac Thomas is 100% UNDER THE RADAR. His name is never even mentioned. If he comes through like many of us are hoping, he is going to administer the shocker this fall.

1. Six days of bliss followed by about 52 weeks of despair. 2. Yet another "oh well," followed the beginning of our vindication for decades of getting crapped on. Which win would go down in the legends of Mean Green football? UT. Which win would contribute to a balance of Kharma? SMU.

At least he could dominate in the WNBA.

Can I join? Great interview, BTW.

I call BS until I see a link. Edit: nevermind. I just read the second half. hehe.

Cool: Air Force Penn State (old school, plain) Alabama (old school, plain) Texas all-white road uniforms Horrible: Clemson w/ purple pants Miami's orange uniforms (green looks OK) San Diego State's helmets Any uniform w/ armpit stripes.... Tech, Baylor, Louisville, etc. USC..... looks like they're sposored by McDonald's

Hey, nice article. The only thing I would take issue with is calling Pat Boone a musical giant.
