Did you walk 2 miles to school in the snow with no shoes, and uphill both ways when you were a little boy?

That is definitely the part that had me rofl...

Or, if you don't see any kind of reminder until the day prior or the day of... you think, "What? I would have thought about going to this game if I knew about it sooner. Since I didn't know about it because I'm not an ardent follower, I entered a dominoes tournament at the VFW post yesterday. Darn!" I think a healthy mix of both would be best, but I've heard we're operating on a shoestring budget in the Athletic Dept.

I'm there with the wife. Monumental game!

I think we'll see Smoak at some point this year. Davis has a small window to try and get something going because everyone knows who his replacement is if he doesn't produce.

I think the Angels lost enough (and didn't add enough) to bring them down to within reach for the Rangers. Unfortunately, the Mariners made some nice moves and will be right in the race as well. I think it all hinges on 5 key questions: 1. Will the Starting Pitching staff improve from last year? - It's almost expected with all of the youth in there. Can Feldman at least duplicate last year's performance? Will Harden stay healthy? 2. Will the bullpen come together? - A healthy Ray should bolster the bullpen alot. The guys that don't make the rotation will be nice to have in there for long relief as well. I really like Feliz in the bullpen. I hope he stays there. 3. Will Guererro be effective for the entire season? - No question he has the bat, but does he have the knees/back? 4. Will Hamilton bounce back to be effective at the plate? - Hopefully moving him over to a corner spot will help alleviate the injuries. He's at the 3 spot now (probably) so that should help. 5. Will Saltalamachia be able to hold down the catcher spot? - With Pudge gone it's Salty and Teagarden... I think Salty is a decent catcher, but I need to see a little more from Teagarden. I agree that they'll need to win the division to get in. I love baseball season!

I always learned in elementary school that "Canada is America's hat"!

The intriguing matchup here is WKU @ FAU. Hopefully FAU wins this one so they have confidence going into their game with MT. I don't think we'll see MT slip against FIU.

Respecting the magnitude of Thursday's matchup, I'll keep this simple: Yes. Oh Yeaahh!

I heard the big 10 is looking at Tiger to join their conference. It just makes sense. Tiger pulls in millions every year and he has a great academic reputation.

It's great that Lance is getting this kind of national pub. I hope he moves up from this list to a list of the All-American variety!

Why are we unable to +/- the mods? You guys are secretly trying to establish your facist rule over us. Well do not, for one second, believe that we are stupid! We see right through your... Oooh! Is that a thread about Lindsey Vonn's SI swimsuit issue? K thnx bye!

Really what's best for all parties is if the Trojans just abstain from extracurriculars in the Super Pit. Just don't even go in there.

I think now the most important thing is for the guys to take it one game at a time, and not look past UALR. This is where JJ earns his keep. Regulators, mount up!

I think if ULL can beat your guys tonight, the chatter regarding the West division title and possibly the #1 seed will come around. If ASU wins, we're pretty much looking at the 3 seed at best.

The coaches and AD will do their jobs regardless of what we write on this board... I have confidence that they will identify the right guy for the job. However, if we discontinued these 'uselesss threads', there would be nothing to talk about! It's fun to speculate!

I wonder if Dodge will pick the phone back up and call Todd Whitten again. I think he would be a good choice to coach WR's.

It appears as though the WR coach was retained by Skip Holtz. However, he does have close ties to coach Canales. Maybe he would consider a change of scenery in order to reunite with his mentor? From the Bulls website: “Phil McGeoghan has a great football mind,” said Leavitt. “He is a first-class coach with a ton of character. He is also very familiar with Coach Canales and the offense we will run. Phil’s passion and expertise will immediately be assets to our program.” It will be a reunion for Canales and McGeoghan (pronounced mick-gay-gen), who worked together in the NFL. “It is a remarkable opportunity to coach at a BCS and BIG EAST school like USF,” said McGeoghan. “Coach Canales has been my mentor as a coach, player and person since 2003."

Fake, you're optimism is now only rivaled by Kram1!! I sure hope you're correct in your guarantee!

Is anyone else interested in seeing a Eealy/GreenGuyBass VS. FFR/UNTFlyer wrestling match for the GMG.com Politics Nonsense Tag Team Championship? Mods, is this possible? Isn't there a building that hosted wrestling matches off of Ft. Worth Dr. south of 35E? All proceeds could go to the Global warming/Global cooling charity of the winner's choice!

The speedskating track has been a nightmare since they can't seem to locate a Zamboni. I thought everyone in Canada owned a Zamboni?

I thought we are back to the full allotment of scholarships now? So the players leaving from earlier in Dodge's tenure have been accounted for in previous APR penalties. I hope that Cole will not affect the APR, and if Williams left in good academic standing it doesn't hurt right? Maybe Cole transferred here without a scholarship in hopes of earning one. If so, then would that count against our APR (I have no clue how APR works)? Sounds like Williams left for playing time at ACU.

I think this could be an area where coach Canales can help! He didn't get to participate in recruiting much, but I'm sure he knows some people who can help.

Other than Dunbar (no reason for him to drop off), do you think there are any Mean Green guys on this year's All-Sunbelt preseason team? Last season, Jamaal Jackson & Esteban Santiago were 2nd teamers, and Kelvin Drake & Craig Robertson were honorable mentions. I think Jamaal might sneak up and be on the 1st team this spring. I think Drake might move up to the 2nd team OL as well. I think with the departure of the Troy LB's that Robertson has a chance to jump up onto the 1st team. He'll at least make 2nd team. I would like to see Carey in the mix somewhere. Any others that y'all think may be on the list?
