  1. My worry is the lengthy time off for Tech. It was good for getting healed up, but UO playing more recently gives them an advantage. You see it at times after a bye week, but this is almost a bye month for Tech. If my Tech-grad math is correct, it will be 26 days of not playing a game for Tech between the Big12 championship game and the Orange Bowl, vs just 12 days for the Ducks. I fear Tech coming out cold, stale, and slow comparatively to Oregon due to the lengthy layoff. But I will be there to watch it. So I have that going for me, which is nice.
  2. The 1932 Notre Dame B-Team was probably still better than half the college A-teams in the country. Of course, in 1932 teams like Army, Navy, Harvard, and the University of Chicago were national championship contenders. So there’s that.
  3. Absolutely zero.
  4. Aggy bitching and moaning that this was targeting but not called. In no world is this targeting. But they have at least six threads bitching about getting screwed on this call.
  5. Typical aggy is blaming the officials.
  6. Aggy tears. Inject it straight into my veins. I may OD on it.
  7. Dammit, now I need a new keyboard...
  8. I wouldn't consider it an upset.
  9. I regret that I only have one Fuck You emoji to give to your sorry POS ass.
  10. No motherfucker, you can fuck right off...especially with this comment: "Your uncle should have sat you on his knee to explain that needlessly offending people is a bad thing perpetrated by dickheads." We didn't have time to offend people. We we were working our asses off in the field sunup to sundown. Sorry if your pampered life sheltered you from what real, hard-working farming people have to do to survive so you can sit back and accuse us all of being racists. Seriously, you have no fucking clue.
  11. Get out of here with your sanctimonious bullshit and missing my point entirely. The point is...cotton should not be automatically associated with racism, and it's absurd that that's what it has become. Guess what...just as many tobacco plantations had slave labor, but why don't we automatically associate tobacco with racism? It's not my fault you are too stupid to understand the point I was making.
  12. I went to the SMU-Miami game this year. UM had a sizeable crowd. And to a person, they reminded me of NFL goon fans. A few rows in front of me was this guy. Yes, you are seeing that correctly...he's wearing UM wide receiver gloves. He was, without a doubt, one of the most absurd fans I think I've ever encountered. 50 something years old and he was acting like a dumbass teenager the whole game. Total douche, gloves and all. And yet, I hope he is Collie Station tomorrow, and I hope his team obliterates aggy.
  13. I met the real Rudy around 1995 or 1996. He was very outgoing, warm, and genuine to me...and I was just a 22/23 year-old nobody.
  14. A lot of things have historical racial connections, but in the past 10 years or so just the word cotton has become absolutely taboo, which is absurd. Slaves were shipped by trains and barges back in the 19th century as well...that doesn't mean we now associate trains and barges with the slave trade. Not everyone who grew cotton in the 19th century was a rich plantation owner with slaves in the deep South. A lot of Texas family cotton farms (mine included) were worked solely by the family. That's why my great great grandparents had like 11 children...they needed that labor supply.
  15. Tickets sold (including student seating allotment paid for by student activity fees), not actual butts in seats.
