Re: ugh...FSU-VT

My thoughts drifted to wondering just what Bobby Bowden might be thinking...... in any event that was not a typical performance by a Florida State team.

The old axiom of Football about ‘if you can’t block ‘em, you can’t beat ‘em’ showed true.

Re: Week 1 Musing

Did you tell your wife she shouldnt talk to you that way. :wink: Well......after experiencing a sweltering day and over a hour long weather delay on an even hotter concourse that was jam packed with overheated fans, and a group decision to walk back to the hotel rather than wait on the shuttles aft...

Re: Ohio State

What a farce. Ohio State has no shame whatsoever. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/24567251/ohio-state-buckeyes-coach-urban-meyer-back-limited-capacity Hmmmmm, Ohio State experienced misjudgment by two of it’s employees. Those two employees experienced betrayal by one of their subord...

Re: Week 1 Musing

Got back from Charlotte today after spending some time this weekend with family and friends, good times and lots of old stories retold....... here’s my musings from the game. First, it was incredibly hot and humid which raises my concerns about all the chatter about ‘player safety’ versus ‘televisio...

Re: QB transfers

I suspect the transfer percentages are going to increase, how much is anybody’s guess, although my crystal ball says significantly. The market forces are favorable as there is a high demand for players as well as an increasing supply of players willing/wanting to transfer. And now that the NCAA has ...

Re: Ohio State

I know nothing of the Smiths. And this whole issue is not about the Smiths. It is about a world where college football coaches make more money than any other person at our Universities, bring in more money than any other single source; all happening in a world where students are in debt forever for...

It’s the remains of various parts of a butchered pig that have been properly seasoned and subjected to 200-210 degrees of heat for somewhere between 4-6 hours. :wink:

Re: Ohio State

I'm not sure Herman was the source. I know it was a rumor. Herman was in the strip club. Not that it was a big deal. Both guys paid their own way. They probably aren't the first coaches that have walked into a strip club. Herman, his wife, and Zack Smith and his ex wife were friends. The strip club...

Re: Thurs 8-30

Thank Goodness that ‘Over Matched Week’ has arrived....... much of what I watched last night, while flipping between games, took me back to my pre-reincarnated days when I was a Roman Citizen and watched the Lions versus the Christians Game. I finally settled on the Northwestern vs Perdue and Wake F...

Re: Ohio State

........the fallout from this story is still making headlines. Just read where Tom Herman, Head Coach at Texas and former Ohio State Assistant Coach, was said to be with Zach Smith along with some high school coaches, at a Strip Club back in 2014. It has also been reported that Herman was ‘the sourc...

Gotta just love those fans down there in SEC Country....... I saw the results of a telephonic poll taken in that part of the country about, “What are 5 most important things in your life?”. The results: 1. College Football 2. College Football 3. College Football 4. College Football 5. God, Family, a...

Re: Gripes and Grumbles......

Sometimes, most of the time, well, all of the time I feel like one the children of Israel that wandered in the desert for 40 years just waiting for all the old codgers to die so they could go to the promise land. Between Starbucks and Nike, I don't recognize much of anything. There are 843 coffee s...

Oh gawd....The "Oregon effect" has hit Tallahassee....Willie Taggart wants to mix it up more than has been traditional at FSU, especially under Jimbo. Will open with the Noles wearing all black. Well, at least the ‘Noles have the good sense to kick it off at 8:00 pm, wearing black (which ...

Re: Gripes and Grumbles......

I guess I’ll just have to accept that I’m a traditionalist and a rebel, thus I cannot be critical of today’s uniforms and fan apperal since my Beloved Mountaineers also ‘sold out’ to Nike...... hell, we wear Royal Blue and Canary Yellow as opposed to the Old Gold and Navy. I continue to wear Old Gol...
