  1. My bad. It took me a year to figure out who Meatchicken was in the football threads, so I missed the existing thread on this.
  2. http://www.tmz.com/2018/11/27/stephen-hillenburg-dead-dies-spongebob-squarepants-creator-als/ Stephen Hillenburg, creator of Spongebob Squarepants, passed away at age 57. SIAP. Apparently had ALS. I know a lot of people on here were fans.
  3. Holgerson is an original, genuinely eccentric coach. Some guys put on a persona, but he's just who he is. This thread is the first mention I've heard of him having tension with the WV powers that be. Hard to imagine him at Tech. Personally, I'm not sure letting Kingsbury go was a great idea right now. The defense was getting better, and how different would this year be if Bowman hadn't gotten injured? Kingsbury mostly avoided scandal, and was the classic "good soldier" for the program. Tech seems adrift right now, and I don't think it's a good idea to fire a coach until you've got a good idea who the next coach will be, barring scandal.
  4. It would fit the Tech MO of hiring unique personalities.
  5. I've only seen a couple of his games. He impressed me as a decent X & O guy, but his teams always seemed soft.
  6. Yeah, I think the was the "next big thing" a couple of years ago. Course, so was Charlie Strong. And Charlie Weis. Never hire a coach named Charlie or named after a hat.
  7. Agree. Most of the calls that get reviewed are so close they could go either way. All replay has done is convince us we don't know what's a reception.
  8. True, but Strong got fired after losing to TCU. Kansas was the reason, along with three losing seasons. TCU was the last game, but the decision was probably made after Kansas. If Brown had beaten Baylor, he probably doesn't get fired, cause he would have won the conference championship, & not sure how the powers that be could have fired him after that. With Kliff, the Baylor game, if he's actually let go, would be the last straw, not the reason. He took over a team that had won at least eight games every year since something like 2002. They pretty much know what a Kingsbury team looks like. Not to defend Kingsbury, but he did have his top three QBs injured. A lot of coaches would have losing records if that happened.
  9. Oklahoma receivers are just parking on the sidelines.
  10. When that ref in WV-OU woke up, he said, "Hey, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to go fuck your mother."
  11. Yeah, but it wasn't targeting.
  12. Kansas dropped 40 on them. The problem is their pinball machine offense.
  13. Watching it on skycam. Game is great with stadium announcer just giving down and distance. No booth announcers.
  14. I disagree, must be something else. That looks like a leg to me. That's what she said.
  15. 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.
  16. 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. .
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Take that, dad!
  23. Nothin is over until Greenspoint says it is.
