    Tulane offers more to the Bevo Conference than TCU does.
  2. Old Style
    To where? They don't have an invite to the B1G or SEC yet.
  3. Old Style
    Better late than never, I guess.
  4. Old Style
    Because her face looks like it was hit with multiple hockey pucks?

    The mouth breathers in charge of t-shirt design at Texas Tech might want to go watch "Tombstone" again. http://campusdesign.com/images/products/detail/BOBack.jpg

    Has Baylor threatened to sue Missouri yet?

    I'm sure you are correct, but I think the emotional reaction is completely understandable. They knew and really cared about him. Agreed. And, at least as far as I know, all the negative stuff is new information. Jordan's skeletons have already been revealed, so he at least has some chance to address them if he wants to. While some details may be new information, it wouldn't seem as much as a cheap expose like the Payton book seems to some people. I'm not saying that the book shouldn't have been written or that the writer is evil, but I certainly understand why Walter's friends are reacting the way they are. I probably won't ever read the book. I realize that he was human and has his skeletons like every other person. I just don't want to read about them.

    DO THESE MONSTERS KNOW NO SHAME?!? So the publishers are hyping this book as the best ever? Shocking.
  9. Old Style
    I'm not furious about this book, Ditka is. And how do you know it's decent? Have you read it?
  10. Old Style
    No one has done that here. They're just upset & questioning the guy's motive for writing this book now 13 years after Walter's death. It accomplishes nothing but making his bank account larger.
  11. Old Style
    You're a great friend. :good:
  12. Old Style
    So you'd be OK with a writer who didn't know a close friend of yours writing a book exposing all that person's flaws and demons over a decade after their death?

    Still going to win at least 10? Not sure on O/U this week but next week vs Baylor will surely be at least in the 80's. 1st to 60 wins that game. At this point I think 9-3 is best case scenario, so to get to 10 we would have to win the bowl. Not looking good right now.
  14. Old Style
    At least we get Gus Johnson calling our game this week. If the O/U is set at 100, I might still bet the over.
  15. Old Style
    It will probably be close. Depends how many conference game each sport plays.
  16. Old Style
    2 losses in the SEC isn't so bad... They'd better get used to it. We lose a lot from this team. Next year is going to be brutal.

    A&M has no business being ranked after 2 straight epic collapses. Mike Sherman needs to get this [expletive] corrected and in a [expletive] hurry.
  18. Old Style
    [expletive] Mike Sherman.
  19. Old Style
    Gotta love Ditka.
  20. Old Style
    Down by the river?

    Kendrick Nunn announced on Twitter a short time ago that while he still likes A&M, he is re-opening the recruiting process. Not happy about this development.

    You're not allowed to take pictures in those types of establishments. Or so I have been told.

    I don't know about now but back then national broadcasts had a delay. I used to watch a lot of sports with the radio on but not the national broadcasts and it was because of this. That game absolutely, 100% had a radio delay. We gave up on Steve Lyons after about 3 outs and let Ronnie give us 5 second spoilers for the remainder of the game. If the radio had a delay, how was Ronnie giving you spoilers? That would mean that the radio was ahead of what was on TV. Again..there's no 7 second delay on a live Cubs broadcast. And wasn't one in 2003. I'm not arguing whether or not there was a delay during that game. What I don't understand is IF the radio was delayed, how could Ronnie give any spoilers? I guess TV could have been on a 12 second delay, but his point still doesn't make sense.
