  1. I disagree, must be something else. That looks like a leg to me. That's what she said.
  2. Television has brought buckets of money to college football, but it's also killing it. If you look at the ratings, they're big for the SEC, but the rest of the country is losing interest, because of the constant thumb on the scale. The other conferences KNOW three will get left out so they can have Alabama and an SEC wildcard.
  3. I have two basic premises. Spanking, with an open hand, one or two swats, not hard enough to leave a mark, only for deliberate disobedience (not mistakes, like spilling orange juice) is not child abuse. I spanked my kids a few times, and regret each one, though. My second premise is Adrian Peterson has got to be one of the five dumbest SOBs that ever walked the face of this earth. He's got one dead kid, and has been cited for child abuse. He probably has kids he doesn't know about, besides the ones he does know about. He needs to STFU about parenting. .
  4. Had a cousin that got a tryout with the Cincinnati Reds straight out of high school. They got him a JUCO scholarship and were going to sign him the next year. He knocked a girl up, got married, got divorced, lives in a trailer house now.
  5. Referees are not medical staff and should not be the people who determine whether an injury is real or fake. That opens up a whole can of worms about medical liability, and we're already dealing with coaches that will put players out on the field that should be in concussion protocol. It's difficult to enforce because legitimate concern for player safety is being used to game the outcome. Making a player stay out for four plays or until the end of the possession (whichever comes first) would be a good way to keep the referees from assuming medical liability trying to diagnose an injury on the field. The referees don't have to keep track of the player who left. If the team allows the player to return before four plays are over, the player misses the first half of the next game. Believe me, the other schools would notify the conference of violations, as they'd look for them during game reviews.
  6. True story. First photo I ever took that got a two page magazine spread was of Colt. Good times, and I always root for Colt.
  7. I was sixteen when this movie came out and I wanted to be Billy Jack. Badass loner with a motorcycle, a jeep and a Winchester lever action. Course, before that I wanted to be Bronson from Then Came Bronson.
  8. Part of 1 was the fact that it was completely new. First CGI animated movie was a big enough hurdle. Disney wanted Pixar to do the movie like a Disney movie, and have the characters each sing several songs. Pixar fought that off, but Disney had them completely rewrite the Woody character, cause in the original plot, he was close in character to Lotso Bear. For example, he really tries to kill Buzz. In terms of finished product, all three are great, but you've got to give props to 1 for the groundbreaking and initial character development. Also, RIP Mr. Potato Head. Don Rickles is gone, and Jim Varney, the original slinky dog is gone. Hard to believe, but college seniors this year were born the year Toy Story 1 came out.
  9. Nothin is over until Greenspoint says it is.
  10. IIRC, Wayne played several parts because he had a financial interest in them and the studios wouldn't make them unless he played the lead. I know that was the case when he played Davy Crockett. He wanted a younger actor. May have been the case with The Conquerer. FWIW, Mel Gibson wanted to cast a different actor for Braveheart, but couldn't get financing unless he played the lead. He thought he was too old to play the young William Wallace, cause he was in his thirties and Wallace was in his teens.
  11. I made it fifteen, and what I got was they were mean at KState and made people hit each other in practice and this one guy got injured and couldn't play ball any more. He also was in the school from 2006 to 2010, so not sure he knows what's going on at KState now.
  12. Not sure why, but the Kansas press has been after Snyder this year. That answer was after a couple of reporters asked him the same question about the starting QB four times. He answered it three times, and finally told them to write whatever the hell they wanted. There's not that much Kansas press, but for some reason, they thought Snyder was doing something nefarious between Skylar Thompson and Alex Delton to prop up Delton and keep Thompson from being the starter. Neither are particularly good quarterbacks, but the press has really gone after Snyder over it. I've always respected Snyder as a guy who took a historically terrible team and made them competitive. It would be nice if he could retire on his own terms, but for that to happen, he would have to retire.
  13. All I can think about is James Woods telling a story about how he had to sing it in a talent show. Still trying to imagine James Woods singing "Both Sides Now."
  14. Love you, too. Feels good to be here.
  15. Wow! Flattered some of y'all thought of me. I get busy sometimes, and didn't get over to the old site for a while, then came back in August for the start of football season, and was like "WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK?" Kept doing web searches for message boards until I found y'all, and read up a little on the history of the changeover. Good to see all of you again.
  16. I'll bet you're old enough to remember Roman Gabriel, Deacon Jones, and Merlin Olsen as players. The Rams 60s whites were some of the coolest uniforms ever. I hated it when they went to the blue and yellow.
  17. Was that before he grew his hair out and started wearing number 60?
  18. Dunno about y'all, but I'm so happy right now I could shit.
  19. Aggy's losing. That means we come back in the second half.
  20. Two of the refs look like they're on roids. One looks like he's got roids.
  21. Not giving up yet. Fat guy with glasses says we can come back.
