  1. My dad was disappointed I had my SS card in my wallet when he took me to UT on a campus visit because "it's dumb to carry that around with you when you could lose it, just memorize the number for crying out loud!"
  2. In response to all these quotes @RGBIII did state that Bond was the WR we have been waiting on. Make of that what you will. Quote below from page 140 I believe. Maybe that is just there has been a rumor that Bond was looking around, no idea.
  3. Correction...I know exactly what my 1st semester grades were....but only because my father called me into the den and proceeded to read my grades off to me disapprovingly and then ask if I felt those were acceptable grades for the money they were paying for my education. I had the lack of good sense to smile at him and say I had a bunch of scholarships and we got a refund check from the University so he didn't pay anything for those grades....I was digging post holes in 28 degree weather the next morning that I don't think we ever actually used to build fence....
  4. But again who cares...at that point it was done and you typically had a pretty good idea what you made in a class anyways? I can honestly say I never checked my grades...I didn't even check em when they came in the mail. I was pretty certain what I had regardless.
  5. I still don't get this checking grades thing....grades showed up in the mail and you knew if they were good or not by your parent's reaction.....
  6. I can't say for sure at this point.....but I somehow doubt Fred Aker's 1 season at Wyoming put him at the top of the list of potential coaches. I am certain there were others we were interested in that had no interest in following Royal.
  7. We went through it replacing Mack....and Royal.....and heck when we hired Royal our primary targets all said no thanks and recommended Royal.
  8. Elko looks like Bobby Petrino after the motorcycle got done with him....
  9. It wasn't an appearance thing on Sark...more the he's been around forever surely he is older than that.
  10. I got a minor in history because of TEX.....that and it raised my GPA A LOT.
  11. Didn't someone on here post one time that they thought Cronkite was the voice for TEX?
  12. You miss the part where all institutions in the NCAA have basically ceded the right for the NCAA to police them, they can't sue the NCAA for enforcement. It's not that the NCAA doesn't have power over the schools, its that for the past 2 decades they basically haven't done anything to show it. By your logic the NCAA would have no authority over some random booster flat out paying players to go to school. Also, based off what has come out, the coach who is suspended for 3 games and has a show cause on him now at the very least knew about the illegal payments and may very well have been involved in the process.
  13. Ehh, I'm no defender of Super k but people have been speculating about Saban calling it quits for the past 2 years. It's entirely plausible he has heard talk about Saban calling it quits. He doesn't claim he knew it was coming in any way. Dipshit sure. Liar is cutting him a bit sharp.
  14. Whole different can of worms. FSU like every other program has already ceded authority in these matters to the NCAA. Some SMU alums were going to sue in the 80s to prevent the death penalty and were informed they couldn't. The fact we're already at announcing penalties means FSU already knows about it. Plus, I believe the latest action in the court rooms has gone the NCAAs way.
  15. He also didn't turn himself into a caricature in dumb athletic equipment commercials.
  16. I wasn't disagreeing with you. If O has the drive to work he'd be a damned good D line coach. But as has been pointed out we will probably never know.
  17. Gotta remember, their top 3 QBs this year could have started for anybody......
  18. I mean in that light..O has more skins than the man he'd be replacing.
  19. Sorry.....having your friends travel for a surprise wedding or wedding announcement for 3 days is actually surprisingly worse....
  20. In addition to their academic issues and their downward trend in off success....I think the biggest Albatross for Notre Dame is being a damn independent. There are like 1 or 2 games a year that College Football at large cares about involving ND. There isn't any conference drama or excitement to their schedule and no one gives a crap that they play purdue or Navy or Stanford every year....I think it is legitimately becoming a drag on their program. People/recruits don't see them being independent as a draw anymore.
  21. How insecure do you have to be to lock 110 other people on a yacht with you for 3 days to celebrate your birthday....I don't even like 110 people much less have any interest in being on a boat with them for 3 days...
