It's so much fun having Mr. Gravytrain back on board. Although one would expect him to spend a little more time over at P&R duking it out with judges who surf the web all day long.

GO HORNS!!
REAL NATIONAL CHAMPS!!!!!

GO BANDWAGONERS! ALWAYS CHAMPS BECAUSE WE ADOPT WHOEVER WINS!

You mean the way I did with USC? OU?

I should have known national champ talk would hit a nerve with you.

Nope, its bandwagonners I have an issue with. Carry on. I think there's some liberal cause which is under attack on P&R. Saddle up!

Its amazing some people cant comprehend someone being a fan of more than one team.

The world you live in must be pretty small.
Perhaps you should get out of Alabamy more,
but stay out of Aruba - the boycott is on!!

Too bad that I live in Atlanta, and what's more I'm not even from Alabama. Please try again.

OK, you're good to go to Aruba then,
dont forget your Ten Commandments.

GO HORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scarlet, always remember raze's track record..

Posts a score 15 times... then posts more...

then runs and hides when the pokes fall on their faces and miss the playoffs to a team like the 4skins! YEAH! that parcells is turning things around!

NOW he's back! YIPEE!

Somebody's got to. Might as well be you.

GO BUFFALO!

xxoo

Good thing yo momma was an Auburn fan. Otherwise she mighta tole them docs to SHUT THAT KID THE HELL UP! I JUST GAVE BIRTH G-D-IT!

wink

I'm told that the Boys of Florida have very large... palm trees.

Does that sway you?

If not, we've got some appletinis for you.

HOLLA!

Back to the topic (before the Topic Police issues a citation):

My undergraduate degree is from the University of Florida. My masters degree is from the University of Southern California. My law school did not have a football team (LOSERS wink ).

Foundation being established: GO GATORS!

We played SC in 1982 in The Swamp and beat them. If we ever play them again, I hope we beat the shi'ite outta them.

You went to school at USC? Ewwwww.

TWE - It's where she learned how to make Appletinis, so it wasn't a total loss. And if you come by our tailgate for the UF game I'm sure she can whip up a couple or three for ya. wink

I KNOW. Makes me feel dirty just sayin' it. wink

GO LUMBERJACKS!!!!!!!!!!
BEAT MONTANA STATE!!!!!!

Raze, what would your Razorbacks think of you for cheering for Texas? I don't think they would approve.

Someone from Arky making fun of Alabamy? That's rich.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Ill consult the 10 Commandments and see.

GO HOGS!!
GO HORNS!!!!

Uh, We'll consult with the joke of a President that your state sent to the whitehouse. Roy Moore=George Bush...both morons.

Still, David, if you are reading this, how do you feel about Raze cheering for Texas which was one of Arky's biggest rivals.

I cannot cheer against my alma mater. I attended Kansas for a couple of years, but did not develop the love I have for Michigan State. I do pull for KU in football (Not bball), Clemson, Miami (because my husband is an alum, even tho he hates sports), and I watch the Pac 10 with interest, but I would never cheer for anyone over Michigan State.

I went to a DIII school so had no allegance to any major college football program. No regrets there, it allowed me to play basketball at the college level. My law school plays Iaa, so not really a major program there either. But I became a fan of my partner's team, the VT Hokies, partly to keep the peace at home and partly because his passion for the team was so consuming that I just could not help myself. So I have been a Hokie fan through the dark years of the 80s and early 90s, before Beamerball. I feel I can carry on his passion through my love of the sport and of his team.

So for Pat, Go Hokies.

Ok. Totally unfair. How am I supposed to talk smack against the Hokies after that?

Don't worry--I'm sure it'll come back to me shortly. wink

I'm sure one of their players would be happy to stomp on you to help you out.

LOL OU Sooner!!!

And for the swampbird, this is good, now I know a defense!

So does that mean if the Les Boat feeds you with fabulous food and witty conversation, you could become...a GATOR?

Just sayin'....

We all have our alma maters to cheer for, win or lose (and, boy do I know something about that over the last 5 years), but what about when we find ourselves cheering for a hated conference rival. I graduated from Penn State, but this year I found myself cheering for an Ohio State University to beat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. Sort of like rooting for the lesser of two evils.

Wow this makes me feel dirty just writing it!

You mean like me doing the Seminole chop at the Orange Bowl??? eek!

Very dirty indeed.

From im4psu: Well, I'm going to admit to not being strong in this respect. We needed Alabama to beat LSU so we could control our destiny. I tried. Lord knows I tried, but I couldn't. In the end, I just couldn't cheer for Alabama.

Reminds me of an old joke:

Q: What do you get when you cross a Seminole with a dog?

A: Nothing. There's some things a dog won't do.

HOLLA!

You mean like me doing the Seminole chop at the Orange Bowl??? eek!



And after I bought you a drink!!!

That's why I sent you the commemorative pin. I felt guilty.

Actually, I was just rooting for OT--once it got to that, I was just having fun. Oh yeah, the beers helped too! :cool:

I was in the same boat with the Alamo Bowl. As a good Big 10-er, I should have rooted for Michigan. But as a Michigan State grad, I just couldn't bring myself to root for them. And I've never been able to stand Nebraska, so I just kind of watched this game and, deep down, hoped that they'd both find a way to lose.

That's how I feel every time I see f$u and scUM. wink

What is "jealousy"?

My order of allegience:
1. North Carolina Tarheels
2. ACC schools, other than Duke
3. SEC schools, but not Duke
4. any NCAA school, other than Duke
5. any university, college or tech school with an athletic program, but not Duke
6. girls schools, detention halls, YMCAs, Russian gulags, and other prison teams, but not Duke
7. trained monkeys, inbred mutants, flesh-eating aliens, WVU, but not Duke
8. and finally, still not Duke.

Don't you have a coaching staff to fire?

Run along now. wink

Hottarheel...that's a pretty expansive list. However, I'm still unclear on your feelings about Duke.

Not any more.

The one time I tried to cheer for Alabama, I started to convulse and felt the very fabric of the universe pull apart.

If you add "Notre Dame and" to "Duke" I would agree with you 100%. My dream is that Duke and ND have to schedule each other in football and basketball on the same day. The Irish win the football game by 60, but the basketball players are forced to watch, so Coach K gets the players to sign an oath with magic markers on the floor, or some other thing that motivates 20-year-old boys, and the Duke basketball team wins by 50.

Mutually insured [assured, reinsured, fissured, for-sured] distruction [destruction, instruction, destitution, damnation], that is the only way.

Is that the same thing as "mutually assured destruction"?

distruction: falsified instruction.

Damn it yes, why don't I check my work before I send it? Nice to have a spell checker in my service to point out my mistakes. To everyone.

What is, "What UF fans hope for whenever cryami plays f$u"?

Hope for, since your team can't seem to do it on the football field. Anything good happened since 1985??? wink

Im starting to think HotlantaTarheel doesnt care for Duke.

I'm calling Fowl on KWG. That is CLEARLY off topic!

Book 'im, Stuey

Aubie, I'm "calling foul" on you "calling FOWL." It sounds like you're whistling for birds or something.

What's up with you people today?
Distruction!
Calling Fowl!
