Plumm, You know I love and respect you for your fire for this university and I even read about 70% of your posts (by the way my sergeant says if I continue to do this I need to start burning vacation or sick time because the extended absences aren't free...yeah, it takes that long to read them). I'm just a little, no make that a lot, worn out by the repetitive and counterproductive sermons that get neither you nor any of us anywhere even if you type them in color. So, here's what I suggest and I'll throw in a pledge of my own. From now on if you will start all of your filibusters with the phrase "I'm so tired of x problem/administrator/coach/gmg poster that I am gonna donate x number of dollars to fix the problem and the check is imminently forthcoming" then I promise to read 100% of your posts and will even lend them some credence. Deal?

If you added up all the numbers of the OU graduation dates of the people on that thread your sum total would be zero. Fitting since they call them zero U. Maybe that's actually why they call them zero U, ya think?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...some of you live in lala land. Perhaps I missed that golden age of NT football where we were selling out Fouts and consistently playing for conference titles and top 25 rankings (You know, those things we slam Dickey for not bringing about in his tenure). I forgot how very far we must have fallen to have to settle for the "mediocrity" of 4 straight conference titles, 4 bowls and more local and national press than we have EVER HAD. And before anyone spares us to death further with how "satisfied" we must all be to recognize what Dickey accomplished look at it this way. This argument is like looking at a guy who never had a girlfriend, gets a date with a 7, loses her and then says how he recognizes the accomplishment of bedding some girl, ANY GIRL...only to have his friends say "oh well, if that's what you want to settle for" not taking into account that while he was shooting for Anna Kournikova all along was happy to bang Kelly Clarkson along the way. None of us are "happy" or "satisfied" with winning the belt but how backasswards is it to not recognize the baby steps?

It's been over a week and nobody has committed. What's going on around here?

And the hits keep comin' And another And one more By their logic we should easily hang with Arkansas, blow out SMU and Navy and run the belt sans the "clash of titans" with Troy. I mean, we only lost to the mighty Troy Trojans last year 14-6 last year IN THEIR HOUSE with a coach who had given up. I'm feelin better and better about our season by the day.

I don't agree with their confidence but I gotta say I like the attitude... http://www.gotroytrojans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6706 Here's an exerpt:

Tell me what is wrong with this sentence: If you couldn't spot it, it's the fact that they refer to SMU as being among "top programs."

SMU is losing their leading tackler? BOO FREAKIN HOO!!!

Oh I definitely agree with you on the "heavies" on our schedule. I just think Memphis and Virginia compared to SMU and Navy gives them an edge in the "lighter" portions of our OOC schedules, thus evening it up.

I always did feel better endowed than the guys from MUTS.

Looks about even to me, at least in terms of difficulty.

Neither did churn out 2000 yards when they won the rushing titles. Jamario set the single season record with just over 1,800. Of course with 2002's defense we wouldn't have needed to lead the nation in rushing to win the last few years. That defense with a minimal offense would have taken us to at least 6 or 7 wins.

I was there and watched for about an hour. Two words: Blake Cantu

Bingo. It's akin to finding God in prison. Other that four walls and ways to cover your corn hole there aint much else to find.

It is.

Because NT also sells orange, blue and purple shirts...in our on campus bookstore.

The department just had our city wide signup and I was able to move to the station right next to my house working 8p-4a with Saturday and Sundays off. Come to think of it this is kinda football related...the only thing I had as a definite need was Saturdays off.

Ahhh the sweet memories of football and date rape drugs....what?

I believe we've done it before.

Ditto. Getting to park where we always set up and having our world class tailgate undisturbed will be the best $50 I'll spend all year. I'll just scalp my orange pass to someone who wants to park closer to the stadium!

This means one of two things: 1)He wasn't expected to play heavy minutes and was therefore expendable as a fall guy showing how "tough" UT is on rulebreakers 2)There is way more to this story and better to give him the boot before it's exposed (ala OU)

So they finally admit that they are no national powerhouse?

I agree. With a news stadium we could broadcast our own games, put our own spin on wins AND losses and even do local weather. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist...it was all in good fun.

Don't take our word for it. Take the word of recent recruit Derek Tomlin Or Lance Dunbar
