yeah but this wasn't the case here, at least with the football team.

I think the basketball team should've gotten nailed. as it was, they were skating on REALLY thin ice last year with the NCAA until they said everything was fine. They did lose an entire tournament team in 2004-2005 because of it though.

It's actually very interesting that teams in the SEC, especially teams that have a rivalry with Tennessee, don't try to plant things on them, considering what Fulmer did to Alabama.

I don't know. If Dallas didn't have any timeouts I would have understood it.

LOL

They could've drafted Robert Gallery, D'Brickashaw Ferguson and possibly LeCharles Bentley when they started the franchise...

That's a pretty solid start if you ask me.

Instead they have a QB who *might* be ok if they could get a line in front of him, a DE who hasn't had a chance to do anything yet, and a bunch of people pissed that they missed on Reggie Bush.

Reggie Bush will be a good player, but he would struggle behind what the Texans call a line.

AS for the other stuff, that was mostly the basketball team and their scumbag coach, whom they fired

SEC schools have had their football program hammered because of misdeeds by the basketball program. Alabama is a case in point.

One of Alabama's assistant basketball coaches solicited money from a booster - the school found out and immediately fired the coach and reported it to the NCAA.

How did the NCAA react? They extended Alabama's probation and used to against the football program 5 years later.

IMHO, the O-line is the most important part of a football team, bar none. Skill players can be bought and sold, save for a few special talents. Blocking and protection is the name of the game...

"Simms had 3 for TB too..."

I thought it was kinda weird that TB was shut out. That makes since.

We usually buy ST from DirecTV but this year we just decided to take a stand and refuse. We have two HD TVs and just to get ST they want you to buy regular programming with it along with an additional 100 just for the HD which you can get from local anyway.

Thanks for all the updates.

Owens looks perturbed. Might have some interesting things to see in the post game.

Silver lining may be the impending close of the Bledsoe Era (if you can call his run of mediocrity that)
