    That is going to be awesome. 

    I played for Emory Bellard at Westfield High School from 1989 - 1990.  Obviously we ran the wishbone back in the day, so I am looking forward to this. 

    I played for Glenn "Pop" Warner at Cornell in 1906. Obviously we ran the single wing. The forward pass was also legalized that year, but we stuck steadfastly to good 'ol Student Body Right. Unfortunately, the flying wedge had been outlawed on kickoffs back in 1894 and was no longer available to us. John Heisman's first trophy wasn't awarded until 1935; shame I couldn't have stuck around long enough for that. Timing is everything, I guess.

    Damn, I love these strolls down memory lane.

    People forget how insufferable CU fans are and what bitches they were as a conference member. Boulder is a nice town, but there is no upside and I don't have interest in dealing with Buffs.

    I remember when my grandparents had one of those that they actually used as a secondary cooler in their little cafe that was attached the granpa’s auto repair garage. (1924-58).

    Maybe they should change their names from the fightin’ aggies to the fightin’ Nannie’s!

    Naw, the Fightin' Big Bad Billy Goat Gruffs." That's way more testosterone.

    If aggy is hosting a very high level recruit, do they increase the number of goats? Like if aggy was hosting Vince Young, do they take him out to a pasture full of goats? 
    Aggy needs a new rating system: the goat system. I would say right now most of aggy’s recruits are only rated 1 goat. They really need to pump that number up if they want to compete in the SEC.

    "Yeah, 247, Rivals, ESPN, and Hudl had the kid as a 3-goat, but when word got around that Texas was looking at him, all four of them gave him another goat."

    Yeah, I was drinking a little while posting. Missed some autocorrects (“dies” vs “does”), and, yeah, the population of a state can grow while the number of reps can drop, if the national population grows at a faster rate. Still, the point remains- Oklahoma’s population isn’t producing the number of players needed to compete on a national level

    No, I understood completely your well-phrased explanation of redistricting after every decennial federal census. I was just bemoaning the fact that the sons of bitches didn't actually die after a redistricting.

    As states grow or shrink in populations, the number of representatives dies the same. Here are the numbers for three states:

     

    If only that were true . . .
