  1. And Greggo also lived to enjoy this moment. Even crazier odds.
  2. thinking about former ticket guys, Norm and Rhyner. I don't imagine very many people would have predicted that both Norm and Rhyner would live to see a Texas Rangers World Series championship. It love Nadel's call.
  3. I said something about Nellie the other day....and made a funny one, I said something like "speaking for most Rangers fans, we sure don't want Nellie to catch the first pitch."
  4. I agree. What I am looking for is the "last man standing" from the players who wore a uniform for their team in the great game. My guess is it would be a young QB, most likely someone in the same class as Colt, a redshirt freshman who just happened to be in uniform on the field. I suspect Colt was dressed out because he was the fourth string QB and would have played and burned his shirt had Vince, Matt, and Matt gone down. I don't know if any other position would have dressed a 4th string player, kind of doubt it. If Colt does indeed become the last man standing, my goal in life is to get a picture of Colt in a Texas Uniform,(easy enough) and get him to autograph it with the words "last man standing" on it. At the moment, I am trying to google USC 2005 freshmen redshirt players and getting nowhere fast.
  5. doing the math here, fall of 2006 to fall of 23 = 17 seasons. I saw a short bit today that a lineman is in the league for year 20 now, didn't catch his name. So, while it is possible there is another player in the NFL who was on the sideline that night in 2006, chances are mighty slim.
  6. rankings don't make a shit. We have one loss coming, most likely this weekend.
  7. THIS....RIGHT..........HERE..........! KSU 31 Texas. 28 Punting yards 139 Penalty yards for KSU - 15 - one call late in the game after the refs have decided the game.
  8. wow, just heard Colt's name twice on NBC! They said he has been in for a workout---with the Vikings? I would like Colt to get one more shot, to say for the final time that he was the last man standing from the 2006 BCS championship game.. Remember, he was on the sideline, in uniform. Any idea if there is anybody else still in the league from that game?
  9. Slant? We have a slant? Didn't know it was legal to call that.
  10. ...and we're back inside the 10 AGAIN!!! four plays and out coming.
  11. announcer is begging BYU to make something happen.
  12. Honestly you play to win the game as early as possible. You kick the FG. But Sark is gonna Sark it up, so just give it to Brooks.
  13. Give it to Brooks!
  14. fourth and Sark upcoming!! Anytime we have fourth down, less than 3 yards, it is now from here to eternity dubbed "Fourth and Sark!"
  15. he's out of bounds.
  16. in FG range again, time for Sark to give up another FG attempt.
  17. so how many sure FGs are you gonna pass up, Sark?
  18. still could have called holding
  19. holding in end zone..2 points!
  20. letting them hang around, Karma is a bitch.
  21. worst one loss team in the country?
  22. hard to believe Sark can continue to mess this up
  23. I am on track with my predictions. I predicted 2 losses for OU and one for us. OU generally beats OSU, so it's not happening two weeks in a row.
  24. good guys 13 bad guys. 9
  25. Yeah, I am watching a bunch of YouTube of people who are riding on Amtrak for days at a time on coach. Good advice from some of them, such as: 1. bring a sleeping bag and pillow, 2. bring your own food But the thing is I am actually learning more from people who comment on the YouTubes. Things that seem obvious like bring a change of clothes, small towel, change in the bathroom, etc. Since I already cut my own hair because I live in rural Alaska where there is no barber, I would simply cut my hair very short before starting my 30 day adventure.(10 legs). That would cut down on any hair washing needed. I am thinking that I should do the traditional method of flying into New Jersey and renting a car in order to see the northeast states that I need to see to get closer to 50 states. The tough part is Michigan. Do I include Michigan in the car rental festival? Rent a car in New Jersey, Michigan seems like a very far drive. I guess I could lump Michigan in with Montana and Wisconsin? I might end up doing that, and forgetting all about the Amtrak thing. The question is how quick could I do the rent-a-car thing. I am hoping for about 4-5 nights? I'm talking about starting in New Jersey, then to the other states such as Maine, New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania, then head west to Ohio, Michigan then back south to states such as Kentucky. I would have to fly in to Georgia to get Georgia and South Carolina. too far to drive there and then try to drive back to Jersey to turn rent-a-car in. Then on a separate trip, probably summer 2025, I could hit the midwest states such as Wisconsin and go west to Utah, Idaho, Montana, and finish up with south Dakota and finally North Dakota and become a member of the "Save the best for last" club. T-shirt name on the wall, the whole bit.
