Ill admit that he got a little rediculous with the diagrams and he could become Captain Obvious, but he is an icon in the brodcasting industry and he will be missed. Best wishes to him.

No more Brett Favre...what would be left for Madden to talk about.

He whipped me...and when he was with Summerall I thought I was visiting the grandparents in an old-folk home with all the started stories and statements that went no where...but he was a great ambassador for the the game and the NFL will miss him.

Great in the 90s.

Senile in the 00s.

But, I'll stick with the 90's memories. Is he already in the Hall of Fame? If not, he is a first ballot shoe in, but more for broadcasting than coaching.

I remember Madden as the coach of the Raiders when I was young. He used to do a lot of local TV commercials and was really funny in them. That's the Madden I miss. I also remember the first game that they gave him the chalkboard thing. I don't remember what year it was, but I remember it as a dark, dark day in football commentary. He never did set that damn pen down! Nonetheless, it's sad to me that yet another icon of my youth is moving on. Reminds me that I'm not 12 anymore.

I remember one year when the Cowboys were at the Vikinigs late in the season. The game was so out of hand, they showed somebody ice fishing on a frozen lake. Madden had to start circling wht the guy was using. and how he was using it. Hilarious.

Was the best technical color man on television? Not even close.

Had he slipped in the last few years? No doubt about it.

Doesn't matter... he's John f'n Madden. Period. He IS football. I like Collinsworth a lot, think he's darn good actually, but it's going to be an adjustment period not hearing that burly stammer at least once a week. Glad he did it on his terms, he deserves it.

The REAL question is, was there a "no #2" rule on the Maddencruiser? What kind of bus plumbing system can handle a Madden-sized dump if not? Back to you, Al.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Minnesota with a 3rd straight Quad 1 win. Our win in their house is looking better every game. Baring a collapse, Memphis is all but guaranteed a spot. Prior to their loss at Temple, some bracket experts had them as a 4 seed. They're 5-2 in Quad 1 games and 10-3 in Quad 1 and 2 with wins against Missouri, UConn, Michigan State, Clemson, Ole Miss, all of which are in the top 35 of NET. The resume is too strong unless they pretty much lose out. Cougar guy is wrong, though. Independent bracket experts with good track records of guessing the field still have UNT as being in contention. It's a longshot but not dead.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      It’s interesting because I know the perception of the new PAC and AAC is that the PAC will be stronger, but where would Texas State rather go? It seems like AAC for a variety of reasons. I’m not convinced the new PAC is better than the AAC. UNLV and New Mexico holding back in the MWC, with the Northern Illinois and GCU ads have the future PAC in a bit of limbo. They have to keep performing or they will fall back fast. The SBC and AAC currently are the more stable forces, hence a certain level of power and leverage lives there. To me the PAC must break the bank to get Memphis or they are not going to lift on takeoff. GMG

      Join the Infantry in Houston - Tuesday, 2/11 at 8pm

      Rob Lanier, former SMU head coach, found out what the Infantry could do last February at Moody Coliseum. So when he moved over to Rice, inside sources suggest he slipped Tim Spaghetti some cash to make sure his home game against UNT would be on a weeknight this season. But I say, "Too bad, Rob! You can't escape us!" If you're in Houston, or are retired and can make the trip, or want to use a couple of half days like I did, join us at the terrible Tudor Fieldhouse on Tuesday, 2/11 at 8 p.m. The game has the later start because it'll be on ESPNU as the "west coast game." There are just under a hundred seats left behind our bench which would be group-rated at $25. For the second straight year I want to sell the section out. What'll make it better is the sea of green will be on national TV. It'll be different without Scott Screamin' Pera on the Rice bench, but we'll still have plenty to taunt Lanier about. Like how his son has to follow him around to maintain a D1 scholarship. And don't forget the UNT Dallas debacle. Here's what we did last year. We bought about 70 tickets, plus whatever the team was allotted, and the local alumni who bought on their own. If you are interested in joining our group for the game, message me. I've got pending communication out with the Houston alumni chapter to see if they will plan to do anything before the game like last year.

      12,400 announced at Providence today, who came into the game with a record of 9-10. Providence is about the same distance to Boston as Denton is to Dallas.
