The only paper that seems to be somewhat objective is actually the Tuscaloosa News. The editor calls them like he sees them. That's the only paper I read for Bama news. The rest all seem like they have an axe to grind on one side of the fence or the other.” 9:14:22 AM 12/31/02 “Many consider this to be one of the greatest if not the greatest accomplishment in college football history. 1899 Sewanee Purple. This team was nicknamed the Purple Ironmen which was given because they played a road trip of 5 different teams in 6 days. The 2,500 mile road trip by train began in Austin, Texas where they defeated the Longhorns 12 to 0. The next day Texas A&M was beaten 10 to 0. The next day they defeated Tulane 23 to 0. And the next day they defeated LSU 34 to 0. After a one day rest, they beat Ole Miss 12 to 0. The Purple went 12-0 that season, and outscored their opponents 322 to 10. The only team that scored them in the '99 season a team called Auburn.” 9:27:45 AM 12/31/02 “Yeah, I know what you mean. I've heard that same statement. Sports writers are in a lose lose situation. An out of state fan often finds themselves asking why an article telling me how my team is going to hell in a hand basket sells papers in an area that should have little interest in my team. Some consider it balanced reporting and others see it as a "misery loves company" promotion.” 9:48:07 AM 12/31/02 “ESPN did a thing on that team three years ago. It was really a really impressive piece. Who's that Auburn team you mentioned?” 9:52:10 AM 12/31/02 “I meant is was a really impressive show. Sorry about the valley girl talk above, like really really.” 10:04:56 AM 12/31/02 “Just for the record, Ohio State would have rolled the tide in 57' As of 1:58 EST 12/31 Big Ten - 2-0 in bowls thus far.” 12:50:02 PM 12/31/02 “I'm sure they would have. We were about 2-9 that year. That was the 1 BB, or the year before the Bear arrived.” 1:02:26 PM 12/31/02 “Holy prognostication, Batman! Oregon made their suckdom official by playing dead against Wake Forest. In concurrence with the reigning Deity, if this isn't the wackiest season of college football, I can't remember a wackier one. Hey, you Hogs. I believed in you and you let me down. That was the former Kansas coach you lost to, by the way..... Who is ahead in picking the winners, so far?” 1:15:54 PM 12/31/02 “For Arclite....... A middle of the road team from the Big Eleven beats the SEC West champion. The MIGHTY SEC, I might add. Can you hear the laughter????” 1:28:58 PM 12/31/02 “That's the SEC West champ with an asterisk. We won it on the field.” 1:53:59 PM 12/31/02 “There goes that 'Bama fan again. You boys oughtta be spanked. Oh that's right... the NCAA already did that. Your butts will be smarting this year AND next year. Buncha prevaricating loosers with no teeth. The almanac is the sports bible, Dayhiker. So says this reigning deity. Yeah, Dun. There's a real stinky smell starting to rise over the south. Hopefully it's just a wind shift from the mid-west. 2-0 and impressive, Buddah. All the sports pundits talked about how weak the big ten was this year. So far they've looked good in the bowls. All the sports pundits talked about how strong the pac ten was this year. So far they've gone 1-3 in the bowls. Dunadan 85 Chili 103 Hyway 117 Dayhiker 117 Arclooser 99 I took a big hit with Oregon, Arkansas, and Hawaii all biting the big one. It would take a miracle for me to win this year.” 2:33:59 PM 12/31/02 “"This year I will gladly surrender the title of football god. I cannot remember ...." ...arclite Arc, you surrendered your title and I'm in the lead. That means that your almanac don't mean $hit.” 2:39:14 PM 12/31/02 “Wrong again, oh toothless goddess of nothing! NO ONE assumes my mantle until this is over. And even when I lose, I'll still be the basketball god until March. You need to learn humility, Day. BOW BEFORE YOUR BETTERS WATERBOY!! As of 4:52pm the score stands thusly: Dunadan 144 Chili 134 Hyway 165 Dayhiker 142 Arcsadcausemygatorslostboy 150 I cannot beat hyway so I am mathematically eliminated. How it finally turns out is yet to be determined! You can ride the gator now, Dunadan. What a disappointing season for the GATORS. One more like that and Zook will be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail. Most disappointing of all was their consistent ability not to adjust in the third quarter. That kind of stat points directly to the coaching staff.” 3:58:18 PM 1/01/03 READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! “In a late breaking story, it has been reported that the reigning Football God has changed his allegiance to the Miami Hurricanes. When asked why the sudden jump to get on his former rival's bandwagon, he replied, "Goldarnit, Ah jes have the awfullest time takin' a whuppin' from them Michigan Yankees". When it was brought to his attention that he was a native New Jerseyan, he said, "Yes, and I will be cheering for Rutgers next season, should the unbeatable Hurricanes lose". The Gainseville News has declared Ron Zook the genius of the century after taking the ball out of the hands of one of the best passing quarterbacks in the country in order to have a converted corner back throw a pass to that same quarterback. Notre Dame fans will be found hanging out in closets and basements until next season. The cloud of smoke rising over the nation is the result of many tons of Irish paraphernalia being burned in back yards across the country. Kansas University is on the right track to become a football dynasty. They are slated to die nasty next season. Back to you, Brent.” 5:41:40 PM 1/01/03 “Whooohoooo, How about dem Wolfpackers. They sure gave a lickin to "God's Team" The ACC is looking pretty good so far. Clemson got whooped pretty good, but anytime tammy bowden is given something to cry about, I am happy.” 8:07:58 PM 1/01/03 “i hate football......” 10:54:36 PM 1/01/03 “stratdewd, I am not sure who put on the worst show, Tenn or Ark both sucked really bad could UT send Randy Sanders to you guys :-)...please” 11:39:39 PM 1/01/03 “Tenn. was just outclassed by the ACC” 11:53:25 PM 1/01/03 “well at least chilie can't rag on me untill tomorrow when memphis whups up on the b-ball hogs.....” 12:30:19 AM 1/02/03 “*nudges dayhiker*....war eagle fly down the field ever to conquer never to yield oh yea..and HOOK EM HORNS!!!” 1:56:24 AM 1/02/03 “Hyway and Dayhiker, through some miraculous coincidence, have their last two games in the same order. If USC wins the Orange Bowl, Hyway and Dayhiker will share the football god title this year (and the great State of Florida will still be ahead of those cornpone Alabama folks by a score of 1 to ½). If Iowa wins the Orange Bowl, then Dunadan takes the title outright. Both Chili and I have no chance. The heated race will be for last place. Here’s how it breaks down: IF Miami and USC win- Dunadan 217 Chili 220 Hyway 243 Dayhiker 243 Arcmiddleofthepack 222 IF Miami and Iowa win- Dunadan 232 Chili 216 Hyway 231 Dayhiker 231 Arclooooser 203 IF Ohio St. and USC win- Dunadan 194 Chili 193 Hyway 217 Dayhiker 217 Arcatleastnotlastplace 194 IF Ohio St. and Iowa win- Dunadan 209 Chili 189 Hyway 205 Dayhiker 205 Arcpatheticlooooser 175” 5:49:17 AM 1/02/03 “The Minnesota Golden Gophers won... git outta here!!! TOO BAD STRAT!! hehehee Hog butts musta gotten chomped on by little rodent buck teeth. hate it when that happens. Speaking of which... on the BRT... Khatru chased an armadillo in the woods. Didn't QUITE get him, thank goodness! hehehehee GO HAWKS!!!!!!” 6:47:59 AM 1/02/03 “I'm rooting for Iowa. I am much too lazy to be shackled with the Responsibilities of a God.” 7:09:14 AM 1/02/03 Strike up the band..... “We should get the ex and the two currents together for a "passing of the torch" ceremony. I'm sure that the old, (and I do mean OLD) deity will have something demeaning and crothcety to say to the two new whipper snappers. That's one of the characteristics that made our old god so dear to our hearts. Thankyou, Arc, for presiding over us this past year. You have kept us from famine and pestilence while looking down upon us from Mount Olympus. But, as you fade into the sunset, we expose our butt cracks to you. Bring on the Wolfpack and Crimson Tide gods!” 11:17:50 PM 1/07/03 “Wolfpack in da house!!!!! Its football recruiting season, now. Then spring traing. Red white game. Summer two-a-days and 7 on 7's. Meet the pack day. Then, FOOTBALL season, again. Its just around the corner.” 7:46:34 AM 1/08/03 “dayhiker takes over the throne as football god for one day and POOF! the whole site crashes.... coincidence? I think not! I knew something like this would happen when somebody with and Elephant for a mascot took over the crown.” 8:16:13 AM 1/08/03 I have one thing to say to the Football God “Hey dayhiker Worship this 17-7!” 10:43:01 AM 1/08/03 “I can't believe all the envy has started already.” 10:48:07 AM 1/08/03 “crow while you are on top, dayhiker, because none of us are going to listen when you are at the bottom of the pack....” 11:10:14 AM 1/08/03 “One of first things you learn as a structural engineer is to ALWAYS check an architects math. I put a spreadsheet together that gives slightly different numbers. You all are welcome to it to critic my self-appointed throne that I am now SOLEY occupying. dayhiker 252 hyway 217 Dundadan 199 arcshoodadonehishomework 194 chili 193” 11:26:48 AM 1/08/03 “You can have the throne, dayhiker. I am just a ghost anyway.” 11:35:52 AM 1/08/03 “The new god has spoken..... Please tell me I won't have to say "Roll,,,err RRoolll,,uhm, well, I just cant say it"” 12:02:07 PM 1/08/03 Revelations!!! “ROLL TIDE!!!!!! I would believe anything that says Chili came in last place. LOL If what you say is true, I can wear crimson with pride for the next year. It is, after all, part of the Crimson and Blue for Kayy Uuuu! Do you think we will ever see that has-been from Florida on this site again? I sure hope so.” 1:07:04 PM 1/08/03 “Somebody had to camp out in the cellar this year dunadan,,,figured it might as well be me.” 1:13:37 PM 1/08/03 “Well, after that performance against Maryland it's only fitting that a UT grad occupy the cellar.” 3:24:10 PM 1/08/03 “According to Knoxville sources UT will only be dealt a secondary violation infraction from the Martin situation. DD has scheduled a press conference for 4:15 today. I look to see a few more commitments within the next few days if everything goes well. Of course, the best of the best rarely commit before signing day.” 3:40:36 PM 1/08/03 “Shockingly enough, Kansas has actually beat out Nebraska and Colorado for two blue-chippers so far. Now, the article didn't mention their IQ's........ Hope recruiting is going well for everyone.” 10:41:36 AM 1/10/03 “I can't believe arc isn't here to take his medicine. I guess he's still delerious from that huge win against UGA. One big W for the year isn't too bad.” 11:00:32 AM 1/10/03 “Dayhiker, I think Arc is in shock after so many of the Gators went pro. I think it's really going to hurt them. I see the handwriting on the wall for Zook..... How has Price been working out? Has he gotten over that whuppin from Oklahoma?” 11:07:42 AM 1/10/03 “Maybe Florida will fire Zook and hire Randy Sanders....... nah,,,miracles like that don't happen.....” 11:11:21 AM 1/10/03 “He's finishing up the final touches on his staff. Oklahoma really kicked butt in that game.” 11:16:01 AM 1/10/03 “recruiting season, five of our recruits are no longer recruits. NC State just had 7 kids enroll for the spring semester. 2 were kids we recruited last year who took a little longer than normal to get qualifying SAT scores. 5 are kids that graduated from high school early. Of the seven, six will go on last years recruiting count.” 11:28:26 AM 1/10/03 “Sorry, just way to busy. Day, I'll send you my spreadsheet. Tell me where I went wrong.” 5:53:01 AM 1/13/03 “You forgot to spot me about 20 points for one thing.” 8:15:53 AM 1/13/03 “How are all my loyal subjects doing? As you can see, the reign of a Bama man is a laid back kinda thing. No more of this, in your face argueing (except as it pertains to AU and UT). Go Buckeyes and ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!” 3:09:20 PM 1/15/03 “Go Buckeyes???? I move to convene the board of directors and attempt a recall of the Football god. What kind of diety calls himself goober anyway?” 3:25:43 PM 1/15/03 “You dare disparage the football GOD? I decree that Randy Sanders shall remain your OC for the next 4 years. Anyone else want to mess with me?” 3:30:53 PM 1/15/03 “I told you guys something like this would happen if you let a UA guy get control.” 3:31:48 PM 1/15/03 Jump to Page << prev
