  1. Surprised the media isn't all over Taylor's miraculous recovery from his broken elbow.
  2. So no burning girlknowsfootball at the stake when someone blows out a knee? =(
  3. So this baby seal walks into a club...
  4. If you're still going to be in the market for a shotgun, I'd recommend the Remington 870. It's the perfect shotgun. Mossberg 590 is a damn fine shotgun, but the plastic safety switch tends to break off. You can get a metal one put on for about $100 or so, but you might as well save your money and go with the Remington. 20" barrel length is what you're after for home defense IMO.
  5. I must have missed it, link? Not news sources obviously. Another poster or two mentioned they had heard it as well, in that same thread. One guy downplayed it and said a lot of parents were unhappy at the ump that game. Obviously. Look, point is, it's coming from several different, independent directions. Now you may have different interpretations of it, and it's fair to question the more specific details about what happened, as there are going to be varying retellings - if it was a big huge blowup or a typical angry parent or bunch of parents at a game, or whatever. But the point is, that this isn't some myth pulled out of one guy's ass. It is a little pointless to suggest that. I am of the opinion that it isn't the biggest deal in the world by any stretch. But I also think that if Bo weren't involved, a fair lot of us just point at any of the adults involved and say, "Geez, what a buncha douches." Because, come on. A U12 softball game. I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm just saying no one has provided evidence yet. Random message board poster who heard a rumor doesn't count as proof.
  6. Can you back this up? Also, I'd like to see evidence that T.O. will fire Bo & Co. if he falls short of a MNC this year. Pony up or STFU already. Also we're still waiting on proof that Bo got kicked out of a softball game, or whatever you said before. Now you just aren't reading too well, and instead are reading your own personal bias into it. I said a conference championship and/or BCS Bowl game, which is completely different in the scope of the conversation. I don't have to provide you with squat. The softball game incident is what it is, since your mind is already made up on the matter, and your head firmly implanted in the sand about it, there is no point in providing you anything else in the matter. It is a closed matter, has been for a week. Ok, fair enough, please provide evidence that T.O. will fire him if he falls short of a coference championship this year. And, no my, mind isn't made up on the matter, because you still haven't provided evidence. Go on, I'm all ears. You can say your mind isn't made up, but the tone indicates that you are completely dismissive of anything and everything, so there is nothing gained or served by sharing any more information about the incident, which isn't in question. Perhaps if you were aware of striking difference between where Osborne is perched now as opposed to a year ago at this time, you would actually see what I'm talking about. He has distanced himself from the day to day operations of the football program for a number of reasons, and I can't believe that being disrespected by the head football coach and his subordinates makes him feel like being understanding and empathetic, should they struggle. A simple "no I can't back up any of my claims" would have sufficed. Only on the conditionality that your interpretation of that post was accurate. As it isn't, the post isn't worth the wasted pixels used to publish it. I suppose I better go all CIA and start wearing a wire, a helmet cam and tapping my own phone, so I can upload conversations, emails and other forms of personal communicae to this board. GTFO, the useless message board adage of "show me a link, or it ain't real" is the best way to "lose" and argument. I'm not trying to make you lose an argument, I'm simply asking you to back up what you pass off as fact. Nothing more. When did that become such a crime?

  11. This is hilarious, I wish I knew what they were looking at.
  12. I, for one, welcome our new Iowa Hawkeye overlords.
  13. That's plenty of gun for that bear, or anything else in North America. With the right shot placememt a 30-06 would probably be enough, with less recoil.
  14. Did you actually read the thread?
  15. I agree with you 2013 may be a special year with the experience we should have on the offensive side of the ball, and our cupcake conference sched. But it's too hard for me to look that far ahead when we don't even know if the current coaching staff will still be here. Lots could happen between now and then. I say we win one this year, just to be on the safe side.
  16. Then what would be an acceptable percentage? The majority of people here already agree with you.
  17. I think most people realize there's less than a 1% chance of Bubba actually turning down all that money.
  18. That's a body double, clearly.
  19. You do realize Martinez is leading this poll, yes?
  20. bigg10 is trolling right? No one is that dense.
