  1. Are you talking about your friend or Roger Moore?
  2. Probably because I was just about to hi puberty when Goldfinger came out, but Shirley Eaton was my favorite
  3. IIRC, Tom Brady was reported to have gotten a staph infection after his knee surgery when he tore his ACL/MCL. He made a full recovery. Hope Smith does, also. If I was him, though, I would hang it up.
  4. Because you touch yourself at night.
  5. Michigans Wolverine
  6. As far as capturing the dark side of New Orleans Cat People Angel Heart
  7. As far as their nuts and bolts video people, stats people, and having the best site for keeping track of games and wins, ESPN is terrific. Their "on air talent" is must miss television.
  8. I wanted Charlie Strong to succeed because he was the head coach at Texas. I wanted Mack Brown to be successful because he was the head coach at Texas. I want Tom Herman to be successful because he's the head coach at Texas. Don't care how the head coach at USF or North Carolina does. As far as opinions, Mack was good, but had fallen off. Strong caught lightning in a bottle with Bridgewater and pooled that into some sweet contracts. He's fine, as long as he has a personnel advantage and can motivate players, but not a good X and Os coach. Herman has improved a lot of facets of the Longhorns, but we'll have to see if his ceiling is up there with th big guys, or more Mike Leach.
  9. I'm too lazy to look it up, but IIRC, after the second round, the salary flattens out quite a bit, and fifth rounders don't make that much less than 3rd rounders. Most obvious advantage is that the higher the draft rank, the more of a chance the player gets to stick with the team. GMs reputations are on the line with higher draft picks, and cutting third rounders looks worse than cutting seventh rounders.
  10. Some players skip bowl games from fear of injury. Same reason NFL starters see darned little work in exhibition games. Others, who have no real NFL prospects, are tired of playing ball. They aren't playing ball next year and fifteen more practices to play in the Mothball Classic doesn't appeal to them. Others don't get along with the coaching staff, and see it as an early way out. Some, who have NFL prospects, don't bleed school colors. The school was a means to an end. I've seen several players that skipped bowl games to "get ready for the draft" add 25 pounds (and not the good weight.) There are more guys than we'd like to admit that have accomplished everything they want in the NFL when they sign the contract.
  11. If they're dead, they are ineligible for the bowl game.
  12. I agree. Thought for years the conference championships should be a play in (first round.) Where I differ from others is that I think the rest should be from the G5 and independents. The networks are, long-term, turning college football into a regional sport, and killing the chances of teams like UCF, South Florida, SMU and others by keeping their thumbs on the scale for the SEC and a handful of around eight blue bloods.
  13. KState is actually a pretty good stepping stone school. Make a bowl game and fans are happy. Some schools, like Texas, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Alabama expect a conference championship or playoff berth every year. KState is one of those schools where people only pay attention when you're doing well. If you have a bad year, you can just kind of fly under the radar.
  14. Why did you tease me, Georgia?
  15. Bob Bowlsby is on it. He'll get this sorted out.
  16. HEY! Just cause the highest rated restaurant in Stillwater is the Flying J doesn't mean...never mind.
  17. 2,000 miles to Portland. 1,760 miles to San Francisco. 1006 miles to Phoenix. 920 miles to Denver. 1,378 miles to Los Angeles. Maybe most of the guys here can afford to spring for those kinds of road trips, but it would put me out of the "away game" business.
  18. Obviously. Dawn Wells was married five times.
  19. Part of that is because the Pac 12 is the only conference that already knows neither team is going to the playoffs. I never got the allure of the PAC12 for a lot of posters on here. I think they got stars in their eyes about USC and UCLA. Obviously, a lot of the posters on here are more jet set travelers than me, but the logistics of travelling a thousand miles or more to games, particularly when you can't make travel arrangements until a week before (11 AM kickoff? 7 PM kickoff?) just puts the cost and fatigue factor out of reach for me.
  20. I've never been a Garrett fan, but you touch on an important point. Giving a great press conference doesn't mean dick. Win the game, you're good. Lose the game, you're bad. I like watching Belichick pressers because he always looks like he's being interrogated about a burglary. Saban is fun to watch because he's such an ass, but if they were losing, nobody would give two hoots what they have to say. Nobody's gonna love Garrett if he gives a great presser and rolls out 8-8 every year. Jerry loves Garrett cause nobody gives a shit what Garrett says and Jerry gets the spotlight. Good win against the Saints when nobody picked them.

    Abcde

    There have always been stupid ass people like this, but they didn't used to get fawning attention from mass media.
  22. Squirrel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. Could be, but you look at the coaches from six years ago to today, and the philosophies are very different.
  24. Yeah, that was why I said a few pages ago that I'm not sure if I would have fired Kingsbury this year. Bowman, Carter, and Duffy were all limited by injuries, and their defense really has improved. Tech had to know that there was going to be some "on the job" training with Kingsbury, and that it would take a couple of years for him to figure out the head coaching thing. That said, I was never a big fan of Kingsbury, but his firing is really the end of the era of the high scoring, track meet Big 12. Patterson, Rhule, Miles, Herman and Campbell are moving the league in a different direction.
