The Dude

I also think Taylor isn't very handsome. Plus I'm manly enough, and comfortable enough with my sexuality that I don't even have to pretend that opinion came from my wife.

Only 741 days until we start our national title run in 2013.

We got a lot of GREAT young O-linemen on the roster. It's about time our offensive line start showing some improvement. We need pancakes instead of excuses. Was Andrew hurt or something? This doesn't seem to gel with his story about having to play injured guys later in the season, because we didn't have any depth.

You honestly think Boise woulda went undefeated in the SEC last year? They couldn't even go undefeated in the WAC ffs. I didn't say were they better last year. I was speaking hypothetically if Boise goes undefeated, we have no way of knowing they're better or worse other than playing the game. I don't believe they would've went undefeated in the SEC last year, no. I don't even like Boise, heck, I was thrilled when Nevada beat them, so I'm really playing devil's advocate more than anything, but I still think it's wrong to just write off teams in 5 conferences before a down of football is even played. If Boise wants to be taken seriously, they need to schedule some tougher competition in their non-con and not look down their noses at offers to play a 2-1 against big boy schools. Sure, we don't technically know who is actually better in your hypothetical situation, but we do know it's bullcrap to give them a crack at the national title when they didn't have to play anyone to get there.

We all know Canadia is just a myth invented to scare small children.

+1 I get a chuckle from seeing grown adults worrying about stupid superstitious nonsense like this (also astrology, fairytales, chupacabras, fortune tellers, big foots or alien abductions). Being rude to a friend of the family over nonsense like that takes this to entirely different levels of crass. Many pro athletes are superstitious. Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman are two that come to mind right away. They may claim they're superstitious, but when you have a direct impact on the game like that, it's more of a routine and frankly it makes sense because it's helping them get mentally prepared. Very different from a guy sitting on his couch watching the game on tv. Thank you for proving my point. Jordan could have won every one of those games without his UNC shorts on. Serena could have won every one of those matches without her shower sandals. They may call them superstitions, but in reality they are routines that help them get focused on the game. And again, since you seem to have missed the point the first time, you wearing a specific shirt is not a routine getting a player in the right frame of mind, it's your attempt at feeling like you have some kind of control over the game... which you do not. Well, I do not have any rituals I do, but if someone does and they think it helps the team win or not, who cares? Yes it may help the athlete focus on the game, my point was many people are superstitious. Athletes, fans, folks who have regular jobs are even superstitious about things they do. It happens all the time, does that make the person immature? @Dude, it doesn't matter what I think, he thought the shorts helped him play better, so that makes him superstitious. And ask Kobe how he did once Shaq left and before they got Pau Gasol. Did he win any championships without a supporting cast? I know I was just joking about the punching yourself thing, btw. Yeah, Jordan was superstitious. That doesn't make it any less asinine.

The big difference between our defense and theirs is, our defense had to carry the team, and had to battle back from constantly being put in horrible positions. Their defense could chill on the bench while their offense actually put drives together. I wouldn't say Wisconsin had a bad defense, but I wouldn't go as far as to say they had a good one. They were ok. JJ Watt was far and away their biggest playmaker on defense. That's a huge loss for them.

Especially considering they didn't have a good defense last year. Really? Assuming some sarcasm here. They were ranked between 20-26 in almost every category. I wouldn't say their defense wasn't good. Which can be largely attributed to their offensive run game and cake schedule. They had a good defense in the same way Nebraska had a good offense.

I do feel horrible for the kid who had to watch his dad die.

Especially considering they didn't have a good defense last year.

Wisconsin just wasn't all they were cracked up to be. They had a cake schedule and ran up the score on Austin Peay, Indiana, and Northwestern. They got handled by Michigan State and their lone quality win was Ohio State. They're a good team, no doubt. But they're perennially overrated. They're absolutely beatable.

Or it could have been Michael Jordan. And if you honestly believe his college shorts gave him magic powers, or even luck, please punch yourself in the face.

Sorry, but even Colorado, Kansas, and Iowa State recruit better talent than San Jose State, New Mexico State, Idaho, Utah State, Lousiana Tech, ect. Let's not kid ourselves here. What you're saying is just blatantly not true. You also picked the bottom feeders from the WAC too. Try comparing them to Utah, TCU, BYU, Boise St, Fresno St, Nevada. Let's not kid ourselves what i am saying is blatantly true. Well, Boise State won't have to play Utah, BYU, or suprise, suprise Boise State. And they'll only have to play TCU once, at home. That leaves Fresno State and Nevada. Those are the top schools they've had to play. Nebrasa had to play the likes of Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Missouri.... you're really grasping at straws if you're honestly trying to say Boise State's conference schedule is anywhere close to what Nebraska faced in the Big XII. Stop that. And yes, I did compare the bottom feeders to the bottom feeders, and the top dogs to the top dogs. It's the only comparison that makes sense.

I used to be superstitious about sports. Then I turned 12.

Probably not legal, but it should be. The rulemakers don't understand how fast the game is played. It's virtually impossible to guess where the guy's head is going to be at that exact moment. The NFL needs to go to two-hand touch if they want to prevent head injuries.

Then we can use a scaled-down version for the Darwin Awards.

I just hope to God, Odin, Zues, and Allah that Georgia doesn't go full retard in that opener, so we don't have to hear about these clowns all season.

Every time I read the thread title I picture Bo saying "yeah, Brion Carnes is a sh!t QB".

You want me to tell you why you should hate Texas? naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Yes it was mean.

Deleted - double post.

In smaller classes like this, it's pretty common to go after guys who can play multiple positions.
