I deserve no points. That is what a father or mother for that fact should do!

Lennie, you get BIG points in my book. Any father that loves his son(s) and isn't afraid to say it, let alone put forth the effort, deserves points in my book. God bless you, Lennie; God bless you and your family.

Guys - Another long rough day at the office, so no new posts. I've got *literally* 15 things flagged to post when I can get some time. Hopefully tonight. Sorry.

...that's why I got the National Athlon's...and I'm sure there are a few more problems than just that, with living in Nebraska.... ;)

I checked into MSU again...your points are well taken, and I realize that my view was tainted by the 45-0 demolition at the hands of LSU. Plus, most of their wins weren't that impressive (UAB, Tulane, etc.--at least 4, maybe 5).

Still, I'll have to see it to believe it, and frankly, I'm much more impressed with the things going on in Oxford, than in Starkville. I still see MSU occuppying its regular place in SEC w gutter--although I wouldn't be surprised at all, if Ark'y makes a run for the gutter--leaving MSU at 5th in SEC w.

My $.02.

GO GATORS!!

Geeez, what happened to this thread..
I'm gonna be traveling thru SEC territory for the next few days, going to a machinery auction in Nashville, I think I'll pick up a Arkansas hat or shirt so I can Jinx the Longhorns when the play the Hogg's this year...

Yes, JD Quinn, the starting offensive lineman, was also kicked off the team with Rhett Bomar!

I couldn't reply under the other one so I put it here. I remember Rhett Bomar, but who's JD Quinn? Was he kicked off the team with Bomar? And for the Longhorn fans on here, I don't think I can say it any better than Michael Scofield did, "Just have a little faith."

I agree with ya WEA, just don't think ol Kev is too fond of it. Zac still didn't go back and edit that post to get the page right...oh well. When I clicked on this thread I was like, WTH?? Damn Discus again! Can't reply in the right spots.........ever........and quite trying for that matter.....and now their margins are screwed up. I was obviously wrong...lol.

Bevo Boy...you gotz your opinion and I gotz mindz. Neither you or I know for sure until the players get on the field. Do I believe Texas are going to be a 6 or 8 lost team? HECK NO! Do I think Texas can win the Big 12 South? HECK NO! But I know they are not going to preform like Oklahoma when Rhett Bomar and JD Quinn were kicked off the team? I don't know! Man, I am telling you there is NO buzz about the Longhorns in FOOTBALL or BASKETBALL right now. You are right in a sense a lot can change between now and the start of the season. Remember Rhett Bomar and JD Quinn?

Lennie, that's your opinion and I don't think there is anything I can say to change it, so I'm not going to bother. In a few days, people went from talking about how this year's RRR would be one of the biggest ever to saying that Texas may not even be bowl eligible this year. It changes approximately every time Mack Brown sneezes. I wonder what would happen if he got a cold...

Re: Fanblogs Open Thread

Lennie Collins — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:27:06 -0000

Texas will lose at least four games and WILL NOT leave the State of Texas after the Texas A&M game. The Big 12 Championship game is in Kansas City, Missouri. The Longhorns will have more arrests than losts this year!

That's a pretty cool trick with running the right margin all the way out. I'm going to have to remember that...

It doesn't bother me Zac. My peeps know who I am...

Bevo_Boiler — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:42:28 -0000

Yeah, that's right... Wait, are you bragging or complaining?

Re: Fanblogs Open Thread

Kevin @ Fanblogs — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:29:24 -0000

I'll give ya a point if you'll edit this entry and cut the dots back to... say... 10? That way it doesn't break the page layout.

Re: Fanblogs Open Thread

Bevo_Boiler — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:17:30 -0000

Maybe I'm crazy, but I see it as a two-loss year for Texas, excluding (if necessary) Big XII championship game and a bowl game.

I may regret saying this once we get into the season, but that's how I see it and I'll admit it if I'm wrong.

Re: Fanblogs Open Thread

Kevin @ Fanblogs — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:06:24 -0000

Totally. ;-)

I see your point, but to be honest with you, I don't like the BCS rules. I sincerely feel, though it's arguable there were better teams out there; 13-0 Boise St got ripped off. They played a respectively competitive schedule, but didn't get any respect until after they beat OK, and even then, it seemed as if the college football world was just throwing them a bone. It's entirely possible; a MWC and WAC conference champion could duplicate the same feat in the same year. However, it's highly unlikely that both would wind up in BCS bowls.

By the same token, it's entirely possible, not to mention it has happened more than once, at the end of a given season 3 teams could wind up in the Top-10 in same conference. If by some crazy coincidence three conferences did that in the same year, only 6 of those 9 Top-10 teams would wind up in BCS bowls. I think it stinks that a team ranked as high as 5th wouldn't play in a BCS bowl, and could be passed over by a 10-2 team. The teams that make their mark and earn their way should be rewarded for doing well, not punished.

If I could I would. ;-)

I was at -1, then 166; now, I'm at 158. I don't get it, & I don't care. Kevin, set me back to -100 and give everybody else my points. Give the lion's share to WarEagle; no way should he be in the hole.

Lennie, that sounds like it would cost more since they would have to buy new busses and they would need more of them. I'm not gonna figure it out though, so that's just how it appears to me.
