  1. Yeah, that made no sense to me at all.
  2. Very thankful we don't have to play in Oxford again next season.
  3. Hope he's OK. He was moving his arms on the way out so hopefully they were just being extra cautious with him.
  4. Joe Thornton had a great quote about that kid's goal. It's hard to find it uncensored, though. Mighty sword & Mr. Happy are substituted for a word that also means a male rooster. http://nhl.si.com/2013/10/10/hockey-world-prays-joe-thornton-never-celebrates-four-goals/
  5. Ugh. [expletive] Darrell Green and his hurt ribs. :banghead:
  6. This should be a win. But I expect a close one, not unlike last night. I don't think we'll be winning too many blowouts this season.
  7. He's cost us points on two drives now. Inexcusable. Yes, bring back Lovie so I can remember what clock management is really like as well as his in-game decisions. Who said anything about bringing that moron back?

  9. Pathetic clock management here.
  10. Why don't the announcers comment on how Eli is pouting and showing up his teammates out there? You know they'd be all over Cutler for doing the same thing.
  11. [expletive] brilliant.
  12. Yeah, pretty heroic of them to keep Colorado State and Georgia State out of the end zone. How convenient of you to leave off Ole Miss & Virginia Tech.
  13. Alabama's defense has given up a total of 7 TD's through 5 games so far this season. 6 of those were to A&M. That is crazy.
  14. Such an awful finish last night. And then to flip over to see the Cardinals clinch right afterwards really made me sick.
  15. I'm disappointed and a bit surprised, but I'm not upset. Acta sounds like he could be a good hire for us.
  16. I'm asking questions, not espousing any theories.
  17. How do you explain situations like the Cleveland Indians where they went from a 90+ loss team one season to a 90+ win without making any major changes other than the manager? They have to be at least part of the reason for that, right? For the record I'm not saying I believe any specific manager will make us 30 wins better but there do seem to be examples where a managerial change makes a big difference. Is it a matter of a bad manager making the team worse as opposed to a good manager making the team better? Ummm.......Because they had a lot of guys have better years on offense and pitching than the year before Indians 2012 offense: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2012&month=0&season1=2012&ind=0&team=5&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Indians 2012 pitching: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2012&month=0&season1=2012&ind=0&team=5&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Indians 2013 offense: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2013&month=0&season1=2013&ind=0&team=5&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Indians 2013 pitching: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2013&month=0&season1=2013&ind=0&team=5&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Ok, do the manager & his staff not have anything to do with that?

  19. Now? You wanted something else before? I wouldn't have minded seeing him complete the no hitter. There is still a game 5 for the Pirates to win. You haven't done anything right today, have you? Everybody here hates me anyway, so I might as well root for the kid while he had a no no going. School pride and all that jazz.

  21. Well now that the no hitter (and shutout) are gone I hope the Pirates win the game and send the Cardinals home for the season.
  22. It kills me to see a fellow Aggie pitching so great for the [expletive] Cardinals.
  23. So I'm not allowed to answer a direct question to me?
  24. but if we win 3-0 doesn't that mean that Trestman's "CFL offense" sucked? There's only 1 stat I care about. It's the score on the scoreboard.
