  1. One would think that the game could have been postponed another day ... or play it Monday night. When your women's head basketball coach and assistant coach are killed 24 hours before that game... And just 10 years after another plane crash which killed 2 kids on the men's basketball team and 6 members of the OSU broadcast team and coaching staff. No way those kids were in the right mindset to play this game. Oh, and fuck the system after it allowed Bama to play in the MNC that year.
  2. Alan Page went on to become the first African American Associate Justice to sit on the Minnesota Supreme Court.
  3. 1984 Cotton Bowl ... Texas on the verge of a victory and the MNC against Georgia and then... Craig Curry's fumble ... and infamy. 1978 Cotton Bowl ... Neutered Dame held Earl to 116 yards and its defense pretty much shut us down. 2008 Texas Tech loss. So many ways we could, and should, have won that game. 2010 MNC game against Bammer. Colt does not get injured, we win that game, going away. That doubles the championships we have won ... and in 3 of the 4 losses, one huge play turned the tide. Had those plays not occurred, how would history be judging our program now?
  4. For a bit of perspective, the Brady to Gronkowski connection has scored 84 points in their Super Bowls. (14 touchdowns). That is more points than the following teams have scored in their total number of Super Bowl games: Kansas City Chiefs (5 games); Miami Dolphins (5 games); Indianapolis Colts (4 games); Los Angeles Rams (4 games); Buffalo Bills (4 games); Minnesota Vikings (4 games); Seattle Seahawks (3 games); Philly Eagles (3 games); Baltimore Ravens (2 games); Chicago Bears (2 games); Atlanta Falcons (2 games); Carolina Panthers (2 games); Cincy Bengals (2 games); New Orleans Saints (1 game); New York Jets (1 game); Arizona Cardinals (1 game); Tenn. Titans (1 game), and; Los Angeles Chargers (1 game).
  5. That may have been at the peak of LSUFreek's greatness.
  6. Nah. Show your kids that UCDavis, NC State, Ohio State, Cornell all have higher rated Vet Schools. Even Purdue has a decent vet school. No aggy. Bad aggy.
  7. Once the real LB coach is hired, of course we expect that we shall see you do your Paul Harvey imitation, "and now you know, the rest of the story."
  8. Any idea when we start to see the new livery releases? Interested to see how Aston Martin incorporates British Racing Green into their design.
  9. Don't sell the Rams' punter short, he's a tremendous slouch.
  10. Chipotle? Chipotle? I said GOOD, QUALITY Tex-Mex ... not craptacular "gringo thinking they are eating Mexican food" food.
  11. Well, why in the hell don't we find the Surly 1%ers, pitch them the investment idea and open a restaurant in Paris called, "Surly's Tex-Mex With An Attitude." Throw down some authentic Tex-Mex, killer margaritas, franchise the hell out of it then in 3 - 5 years sell it off for a bundle! Why not? Isn't it a great time to open new restaurants?
  12. I have not seen any pics and don't know anyone on the inside. Just random speculation. It's livery last year looking a lot like the old John Player Lotus looked sharp. They're an embarrassment.
  13. And HAAS once again. with a craptacular livery ... no rhyme, no reason, no identity. As vacuous and forgettable as the team itself.
  14. There is a lot of good points in this post. I have been immersed in the eating disorder community for the last 4 years. And let me tell you bruthas, there is a fair amount of absolute craziness abound. There is some pushback on BMI, that it is outdated and is not an accurate measure of health. To a certain extent, that is correct. But, the anti-BMI crusaders cannot come up with a valid, objective measure to replace it. Then, there is the Health at Every Size (HAES) crowd. Good Lord! Try to discuss intelligently with them, their views and they burn down your house. I do know in the next 3 - 4 months, a research study is going to be released showing a genetic predisposition to eating disorders among some obese people ... but not all obese people. That is going to start a shit storm. But, genetics cannot be ignored when discussing obesity. Now... continue on with the Surly type discussions.
  15. I have thought for the longest time that the word, "moist" is a very awkward word. It just sounds ... oogey. It doesn't have the decency to become all the way wet. But it certainly is not dry either. It exists in that grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. Moist just needs to decide one way or another. Commit dammit.
  16. These were men, boys. These were grown ass men.
  17. QB: George Blanda (especially during the 1970 season) RB: Barry Sanders WR: Bullet Bob Hayes TE: Mike Ditka
  18. Brain development and the biology of the brain are fascinating studies. I have been doing a fairly deep dive into the biology of the brain as it impacts certain mental illnesses. This article goes into the biology of the brain of adolescents and the manner it impacts decision making, being responsible for conduct, maturity and public policy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892678/ There is a lot of science on the brain and decision making. And the decision a 20 year old makes on an issue like this very well could be significantly different after they have had more life experience, when the brain has fully developed biologically, when they come to understand that the world around them is very different than the sheltered bubble of college life. If a student chooses not to participate, that is fine for them. But, they also have to understand that that decision may have ramifications down the road... will alums be as likely to hire them? Especially if those alums are more conservative. Are they more likely to obtain employment with liberal think tanks if their decision not to participate is an outward manifestation of their mature moral and ethical views of society? Participate, don't participate. Fine. But, know there are probably going to be consequences of such a choice. And if you do not like those consequences, you brought them on yourself. Lecture over. Lid out.
  19. WHOA! So the band integrated 8 years before the football team? And the band had its first black drum major 24 years before we hired our first black head football coach? ENOUGH! Obviously, DKR was a blatant racist! His name must immediately come off the stadium! Those national titles won under him must be eradicated! We must forfeit every game won under DKR! In fact, since it took us until 2014 to hire our first black football coach, even after the LHB had its first and only black drum major, that means the entire football program is steeped in racism and must be dismantled completely. We need to forfeit every single victory the football team has ever won and start from scratch! No anglos allowed on the new team of course. To make sure we have completely eradicated all vestiges of racism, we will not resume football activity for 5 years to insure that all traces of whatever residual racism remains is erased. The band will ONLY play songs originally written and played by Black Americans or other BIPOC entities. For any future band member, they will have to take a "Woke Appreciation Test," so that we are assured that only the most progressive, young student minds are shaped to think alike, act alike and will support the most liberal, future agendas. For any female Anglo who passes the "Woke Appreciation Test," any Black student in the LHB shall have the right of "prima nocta." The trouble with Anglos are there are too many of them! If we can't get them out ... we'll breed them out. Problems solved.
