  1. This right here. The company (16,000+ employees) that I work for introduced some new technology for our equipment. We wanted to make a big splash with this so we hired an outside marketing firm to come up with a "name" for the technology and a logo for it despite having our own marketing department. I had the opportunity to see all of the proposals that were being presented to our senior management team and BOD. They all looked like they were taken from a grab bag of ideas and were not appealing at all. I went to my office and sketched out a design in about 15 minutes along with a acronym for the system. My design made it to the final cut but since I was not paid a gazillion dollars to come up with the design it ultimately was not selected despite the vast majority of people preferring my entry.
  2. I would like to see what he could do on punt returns. The initial nature of returning a punt is quickly dodging the first wave of defenders barreling down on you and then trying to get behind the wall set up. His quickness and vision would be an asset. Once behind the wall his size would then be an advantage. But again, I am not a coach.
  3. I just broke my ankles and pulled my groin just watching that.
  4. There is well over 100 FBS teams in college football. You would think that they could have more diversity than showing the same teams multiple times. Five references to aggy and one to OU is too much!
  5. This game here because Brewer is pissed that UT did not offer him a scholarship. It is his annual revenge game. Plus, his dad, well...you all know by now.
  6. One of my co-workers is a Maori from NZ. All I can say is that I am glad that we are friends. If a barroom brawl breaks out I know who I am looking for!
  7. Will be there with my daughter and SIL. Also in attendance will be my first granddaughter attending her first UT game. She will be 2-1/2 months old at game time. Never too young to start them off right. Hook'em.
  8. Interesting grip on the ball. Wonder how often he throws the ball like this?
  9. I live in the town where Roddrick Muckleroy is from. Every so often the high school purges old jerseys and offers them to be purchased by the students. My son was playing high football at that time and my younger nephew was a ball boy for the high school at the time since he was in junior high at the time. My nephew bought Roddrick's old high school jersey. One week Roddrick was at home for a Friday night game and was on the sideline. My nephew told Roddrick that he had his old jersey and he wished he had it with him so that he could sign it since Roddrick was signing other things. Roddrick asked where my nephew lived and said that he would swing by the next day to sign it. Sure enough he came by the next day and hung out with the boys for about an hour signing stuff, taking pics and just talking to my son, nephews, sister and BIL. Never got Josh Cochran to sign anything but he would come by the house from time to time because his girlfriend was good friends with my daughter (no pics).
  10. I am sure that she has probably picked up a thing or two from him.
  11. I went to LaTech's graduation ceremony back in May. Bradshaw was the Commencement speaker. He spoke about 20 minutes or so without notes. I was quite surprised as to how cohesive his message was as well as pertinent. And, it was funny and entertaining. He did make light of his "education". He did say things that only he can say as he called out many of his co-workers and their lack of graduating from college and even the college that they did attend. As students walked across the stage he personally acknowledged many of them.  I am not too worried about his comments regarding Ehlinger as I do not see them as being said in a mean way. He is all-in as a Bulldog. After all, he was at booster event and people expect him to say something crazy. Still good bulletin board material to get all motivated to dominate the Bulldogs.
  12. 1939 is often considered as the greatest year all-time for movies. It is no wonder that aggy must associate with that year too. However, unlike a make-believe movie that has an ending, the make believe world that is aggy is never ending.
  13. Captain Miller: "Jeff Fisher....FUBAR" Entire platoon: "FUBAR"
  14. Perhaps yes, but he was making a field full of elite football players look stupid and not a college team that may have a handful of NFL prospects on the field at a time. Vince had the "It" factor many times over.
  15. I am thankful that I was able to watch him numerous times in person and old enough to appreciate what I was witnessing.
  16. KLTV News out of Tyler covered this event. It did seem rather mild considering what is at issue. I believe that the lady mentioned above is one that they showed a video clip of reading her statement. Good for her. Well stated.
  17. Have to go with Robert Newhouse with the Dallas Cowboys. Originally from Hallsville, TX. He was a quiet and humble man. There were Newhouses still playing for Hallsville up to about 15 or so years ago.
  18. Can it auto-correct the path of the receiver or DB to the ball while in flight? Like lane control on your car? Can it guide tackler to the ball carrier? Does it help the ball carrier to avoid tacklers by creating a best path? If not the above, then WTF? If so, then I see a conflict of interests between offense and defense. Technology.....
  19. Only if you trick them out with tennis balls on the bottom.
