I went over to logoserver.com. Their site was almost exclusively for pro sports until about a year or so ago.
I wonder what would happen if this were UGA and Michael Vick had a few bucks on the outcome?
Eh, I figured since we had an Ok St fan comment on the previous ping to the list I figured I'd post a pic I hadn't used yet, since I'm trying to not post the same pic twice with this thread.
If anyone does have a pic that they would like immortalized when I do the pinging, send me a FReepmail and I'll fit it in. Thanks.
I didn't even get to see very much of the UGA game against S Carolina last week. From the Bulldog perspective, I take it I didn't miss much?
You are quite welcome! I just now realized that TTU will have played at SMU and Rice. Is this like a Red Raider Texas Barnstorming Tour of 2007? Seemed very strange to me that they’d schedule two games on the road like that unless it’s for the TTU fans and alums in Dallas and Houston.
I had to miss most of the game. They reran it later in the week in the wee hours of the morning. I didn’t bother to watch or tape it then either.
The good opponents are still ahead on the schedule. Too bad they didn’t schedule Notre Dame or Michigan this year.
I never understand how/why they schedule certain non-conf games. It’s way too far for the students to travel from Lubbock to Houston - 525 miles, which takes about 9 hours so the game would almost have to be for the locals and the Rice fans.
I spent a lot of time in that stadium back when Rashaun Woods, Tatum Bell, Derent Williams, and Josh Fields were there. That picture is taken from the side I always sat on too. It looks a bit different now. I can’t wait till they complete the west end.
I don't see why not? A program like Michigan is allowed to have one bad year...Lloyd Carr is a different story, but the program itself, sure. :)
I just did directions on Google Earth and they estimate 10 hrs 19 minutes from Lubbock to Rice Stadium in Houston. It takes about 10 hrs (if I speed) to get from where I live (Boise, ID) to Las Vegas. That’s just about ridiculous.
Yes that would be about right, without traffic...lol We live 9 hours from our door to our daughter’s apartment in Lubbock - and we make the drive several times each year. Most of it is open road, not a tree in sight even, but San Antonio can be a bit of a bear to drive through.
It looks like there’s been a lot of construction going on in Stillwater though. IIRC, I posted an article about OSU getting a ton of money poured into the Athletic Dept. from Boone Pickens himself if memory serves.
You mentioned Woods, Tatum Bell, Darrent Williams, etc...I was going to ask if you were around in the days of Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas, and Hart Lee Dykes, but I take it that would be a no?
Oh, that can be arranged
Florida State goes to the People's Republic of Boulder to take on Colorado (10:00 pm Eastern). Now, Colorado didn't play well last week against Arizona State, but both teams are going to be hungry for a Dubya. What's amazing to me is that two years ago CU's current QB Cody Hawkins was playing high school ball here in Boise (at Bishop Kelly High). He seemed a little too small at the time to be playing big time college football, but I think it's safe to say he's grown up...a little. How come I couldn't have a growth spurt at 18 like that one?
I'll actually be in Salt Lake this weekend watching my beloved Utah Utes probably lose to #11 UCLA, so I'll have to check out the full report on Sunday evening. :)
As a sidenote, one thing I recommend people do whenever they go to games is take pictures. Home game, away game, bowl game, doesn't matter. I got into a habit of doing that for all of the games I attend in person.
Daaaamn, Fulmer has man boobs! :]
“Unless you’re a Trojan, you probably hope some NFL team dangles a monstrous enough carrot (Brinks truck full of cash, team ownership, full control…whatever) that finally lures away the King of L.A. because if Pete Carroll stays at Southern California for much longer, the annual race to the BCS championship game is going to become a yearly chase ‘to see who gets to play SC.” Lindy’s College Football Preview
