Re: It appears IT has left the program

My pure guess is that he asked for confirmation he would start next year so that he wouldn’t have a potentially wasted senior year and Corbs wouldn’t bend on telling him he had to earn it.

Re: OT: Ill 23 Nebr 9 6:56 3rd

Nebraska didn’t look especially great, true. Adrian Martinez is just as hot and cold as ever. Illinois, conversely, looked well coached with very strong special teams. Impressive to overcome losing your starting quarterback in the first quarter to an apparent significant injury. Illinois has somethi...

... but the truth is even before I found out about that I had been boycotting them because of their bland, flavorless chicken. I've never eaten at Cane's because of their lack of menu variety (it's just chicken fingers ... they don't even have patties ... just fingers), but I've heard their dipping...

Re: Wed. 8/18 media availability included Lea, Norval McKenzie, Cole Clemens, Ken Seals

Seals says the defense is throwing a bunch of crazy things at them and it sometimes "pisses me off." Does this remind anyone of the old Woody defenses that stymied much of the conference? Let's hope so. Man he shut down uut and Florida. Wouldn't mind seeing that again. Our Woody defenses ...

Re: The new unis are here! And there's no gray!

This is classy. Gold is back, thank goodness.

Would have preferred Star V helmet logos, but the Block V is okay.

Big thumbs up. Clark Lea actually gets our school and it shows.

Re: It's official: Mets fail to sign Rocker...

a. Kumar owes us nothing. While I’d obviously love to have him back, I really only want what is best for his career. He’s a Vanderbilt legend no matter what he chooses. b. If he came back, he would have about the same number of innings as this year. Or he could reach an agreement with Corbs and skip...

Re: Thoughts on Texas and Oklahoma?

Beard is a fantastic coach. Porter Moser at OU is also a fantastic coach. Leaving aside all issues of football, tradition, the health of college sports, etc., this is an add for SEC basketball.

Any chance of me rooting for Miss State football because Mike Leach is pure awesomeness ended in Omaha. Hope they lose every game 72-0. Their fan base deserves nothing good.

Yeah, the one and only thing that could bring him to us is... the fact that he was drafted by Arizona. That organization (and in reality, city) can totally eff up anything, including flush toilets. Worse than being drafted by Detroit. There’s nothing wrong with the Tigers organization dallasdore. T...

Should be a strong signing. I also like the fact that he is left footed. Might lead to a few muffs as returners don’t see that much.

Re: Will Drew Birchmeier go back to defense this season? Should he?

OK, the roster has been massaged and updated again... this time all the jersey numbers have been removed. (I guess we're going to play without jersey numbers again this fall?!? Now there's a question for Lea at Media Days.) I'm resigned now to the fact that Drew Birchmeier will not be playing this ...

Re: State fans threw beer on me and my son

I’ve been very harsh, but not specific about what I saw. I did not see the Game 1 racial taunting, as our seats for that game were at the front of our cheering section and all of that happened at the back with fans yelling from the concourse. We did however experience a lot of Miss State idiocy, inc...
