SWAMI

Sing along "From the coon skin hat on top of ole Dan to the heel of his rawhide shoes. The rippinist, roarinist, fightenist man the frontier ever knew. Daniel Boone was a man. Yes a big man..."

I've heard this before but no one ever elaborates. PM me and elaborate, please. I'll have what Elf's having, please. Likewise. PM me, too.

Now that's funny.

He's suspended for being a dumbass. And, please explain to a fellow hunter, what in the hell is the point of raccoon hunting? I guess that's your opinion. My opinion he isn't a dumbass. He was bored and found something to do that yuppies and town folk don't understand. I could care less that he posted a picture of it. Guys post pictures of themselves with deer, turkeys, other game when they get them don't they? Should they be suspended? What about guys that make a bad shot on a deer and end up cutting it's throat? Suspend them too? Growing up, we not only hunted coons, possums, coyotes, hell we'd trap them and even catch them with our bare hands. Why? Because it is fun! Shoot, we caught a coon, took pictures with it, and tamed it. Small town, not much to do, you grow up finding things to do. The point of coon hunting? Well....right now, they are $12 a piece sold to my fur buyer, $14 if I skin them myself. $18 for a black squirrel. Badgers will bring more and so will coyotes. Using a call, you can make $1500-$2000 in a pretty short time if you work at it. Back in the day when coon pelts were higher we had problems with the damn things turning our lawn over looking for grubs. Solution - my brother lived trapped them then released them where he would be trapping in 6 months. Made a lot of cash that winter. These urban coons can get huge from dining out of garbage cans. Smart animals and nothing to mess with. I know a guy whose lab swam after one. The thing crawled up on top of the labs head and drowned it. No love lost here for any dead coon.

Ya, but if you shoot it in the head you can't enjoy mushed coon brain on PETA bread. A delicacy at all wild game feeds..

Don't tell PETA Dr. Tom hunts.

I would think his comments could be construed by the right judge as grounds to nullify the contract. The consideration a university rightly expects to receive from a fired coach is that he conduct himself in a fashion non detrimental to the operations and interests of said university. Was this tape recorded superstitiously? If so that would not be allowed in as evidence. Then you would rely on testimony of those present. But in the big picture of things for the sake of our program and the future, it's best that the University just write the checks and let it go. This was the final twist in the dagger, the administration responded promptly, and despite damon Bennings opinion, appropriately in my opinion. And now it's over. yeah, we're all gonna continue to talk about it for a while, but that's what WE do. The school just needs to move on now. No sense whatsoever in dragging this out any longer, for the sake of many obvious reasons. UHHHhhh, you're probably right. It's tough to walk away from a fight, though usually the best approach. Pick your fights carefully.

I've been dieting. Feud over. Boy you had a couple guys stand up for you. What did that one clown write "Reported"? Reported! Is that like when you push that little button left of "MultiQuote"? Scares me. Reported. Mommy, mommy.

I never had any "cred" to begin with. I'm just some schmoe with a keyboard and an internet connection. I have never professed to be otherwise. I mean, if that post ruins my "cred" then I'm OK with that. If anyone didn't understand that you were offering conjecture based on what would be expected of a reasonable man, then their opinions shouldn't really count for a whole lot. Go back and read the thread. Then make your list of people whose "opinions shouldn't count for a whole lot." Knapp's a big boy, and doesn't need you to issue any "take that"s for him.

I mean, if that post ruins my "cred" then I'm OK with that. Great writing though. You should spin for Obama. Be his press sec. I think Bo should have consulted with me before taking the mic in front of the team. I could have strung that out to a 30-minute script, and it would have been far less damaging to his career. But thanks for the writing compliment. You're welcome. I write Statements of Claims for securities fraud attorneys and am considered pretty good at it, I'm qualified to grade your paper with a 5 star A++.

Woah, simmer down, man. You might be the only person who took that post as a knapp saying, "I claim to know what went on and this is what went on." Did I think for a minute?...well, in a lot of ways, this doesn't surprise me. It doesn't surprise any of us. It's so fitting, isn't it? But I did think Bo would say exactly the type of stuff knapp posted for example purposes, because for all my criticisms I thought he was a good man who would put his players first above all, and also a man resigned to his fate. And also a man smart enough to realize that the best vindication would be taking the high road and moving on. As the weeks went by and Bo bothered to call Youngstown State speculation complete falsehood (heh), but didn't bother to release your standard PC "thank you for the opportunity here and thank you to all the Nebraska fans for our time here, etc, etc", sure, it got to be something I thought Bo deserved a little criticism for. But a wild, off-the-rails, insanely bad rant as his "this is for you guys" moment to his own team? I think a lot of us thought that particular rumor was too crazy to be true until it actually dropped. This is totally in character for Bo. For those surprised, you haven't been paying attention. As far as me being maybe the only one statement, I'll ask you does knapp have a reputation for spinning? I like to think most of the stuff on here that comes close to being as well written as his piece has an element of truth.

Knapp's cred is shot. Seriously unbelievable? Knapp's version was seriously unbelievable. Did you think for one minute Bo would not piss in his nest on his way out after having done it so many times while sitting in it. If I was Tressel I would fire him pronto. What parent would want their kid mentored by this clown? Bad egg, man. Bad egg!

Dr. Tom was always the type of guy to give others the benefit of doubt. Remember Lawrence Phillips? Many were calling us the Miami of the Midwest. Tom knew the facts behind the ex-girlfriend incident - facts many of us didn't know. LP was still wrong, but is there a male out there who can't understand the rage he felt?

You made this up. Why would you do that? Bo ripped into the President and AD. He said he knew some administrators were hoping we would lose to Iowa, and he told them to fire him. You write fiction well. Gotta give you that.

Little high, little low...

So Jerry Tagge is no longer a part of the Husker tradition? Also, lets not rewrite history and say that Bill Callahan's offensive system didn't work here. In 2006 we had the #8 offense in the country with balanced passing/rushing. Zac Taylor did just fine as a pro style QB. And don't forget Ganz at the end of 07 and in 08 running Watsons/Callahans system. I'm not a Callahan apologist, but his offense wasn't the problem. TO said the same as a reason he asked Bo to keep Watson and Gilmore. Let us not forget David Humm either, a lefty that went on to the NFL as a QB. Or Vince Ferragamo who played in Super Bowl 14.

Does it matter? It's like when you split with your ex. You know you're over it when you don't care anymore. New chapter. Turn the page. Remain stoical.

I liked it. Someone needs to give him a ticket to The Masters.

You're over-thinking this.

We have raccoon's living under our place and to keep them out of the trash we feed them our leftovers. They LOVE popcorn. I discovered that arsenic laced popcorn is best for them

no one said Bo isnt a good coach. He just isnt good enough. Hes been hired by an FCS program. Tressel agrees. God you people. Let me be the first then. Bo isn't a good coach. Now here's the spade. Would you like to be the last to shovel dirt on that grave.

Ya, and Michael Jordan won a bunch of rings, but he sucked at golf, sucked at baseball, and sucked at owning a team.
