Varsity

Are you serious? That has to be one of the craziest things I've ever heard.

Family issues, huh. Must have needed to look after his grandchildren.

Cougar King is handicapped by a lack of education.

No kidding. What's even more frustrating is that we could have among the best looking headgear around.

I wonder if Johnny Eight Ball reaps the whirlwind this season.

No, not really. The spread has become mainstream, in part, because there is a heard mentality in the coaching ranks.

I hope the crowd is rowdy for Idaho. The spark seems to be a burgeoning flame.

No U-turns in Apogee.

A turf-ripping ground game that drains away the clock and wears out opposing defenses and a defense that turns offensive coordinators' game plans into a graveyard of broken dreams. Kicking teams that win the see-saw for field position.

With hair spray, a lighter and PVC? Devastating.

This thread is full of shirt.

Here's the throwback we should use:

I believe I have heard that Blanda story before, but I always thought it was a legend. Glad to know that it was TRUE! Dad always said that for every TD pass Blanda threw he threw two interceptions. I got a Blanda story for you from my dad I'll relate another time that involves Hoyle Granger (you remember ole GRAWN-jay, don't you?) Dad thought very little of Bud -- very little. He and his teammates referred to him as "Sitting Bull's Revenge." Here's how crappy Bud was: After the Oilers won the 1960 AFL title, he promised them championship rings. He finally delivered 25 years later (some of the guys were dead by then) and when he presented them with their rings he said, "I shoulda done this 25 years ago, I'd have saved a bundle!" What an ASS! Plumm, did you ever read the dirty novel Charley Hennigan wrote in the mid-1960s?

Pastiche.

Yes, my dad was an Oiler with "Slim Jim" Norton and they remained friends after dad's playing days were over (dad remained friends with Bob Talamini and "Dirty Al" Jamison, names you also might remember from the old Jeppesen stadium days). Jim was a terrific guy and I enjoyed going on fishing trips with he and dad. He spoke beautifully at dad's funeral and it pains me to think of those guys dying away (Norton died in 2007). I can't work up much of a froth against the Idaho Vandals because it was the alma mater of a great guy named Jim Norton. Plumm, I'm happy to know there are still some codgers around like me that can remember guys like Norton and actually saw games at the The Jep. As long as we live, those dear dead days are not completely gone. Danbury High School! I actually drove down to Danbury 10-years ago to watch a HS game because they were running the Double Wing formation and I wanted to see how they executed it.

Amen, brother. Idaho - UNT will be a good contest. I will follow it in memory of the late, great Vandal DB Jim Norton who was a teammate and friend of my late great father.

We are 4-42 against the SEC and 0-7 against A&M. we played the Aggies in 1928, 1946, 1986, 1990, 1996, 1997 and 1998.

Terribly uneducated.

There was a coach at a university some years ago -- I forget who or where -- who banned his players from wearing other teams' shirts. I like the idea of giving an employee an ungentle reminder that that employee works for UNT and should wear either pro-UNT gear or neutral clothing.
