Anybody remember the Christmas Day playoff game that ran into overtime? Messed up so many Christmas dinners. I think the Dolphins were playing, can't remember who.

Miami is the best football team in the state of Ohio.

T-minus two days and counting until the Mother of All Bowl Games begins. The Mighty Mighty Jayhawks will shock the football world and devastate the Woof Pack. Their final ranking should be close to #8 or #9, I'm thinking.

I didn't feel like logging in
cottonsocks had started bringing the laptop to bed so she can post on TT.


Guess this means the honeymoon is over. However, I was wondering if Dunadan is smoking crack?

Sorry Mr. Rock/Chalk. I don't think Kansas will be known for football this year either.

No, the Jayhawks will fall to the mighty Wolves.

Embarrasing for a Lobo....
Beavers are favored by 2 1/2 pts.

I don't remember that one Ebenezer, but I do remember "THE HEIDI GAME." They never made THAT mistake again!


I favor beavers by a lot more than 2 1/2 points.


I know y'all will want to check the ESPN website. Today's article is about Chris Leak. You know, THE Chris Leak. High School Player of the Year, Freshman College Player of the Year, and future Heisman Trophy winner. Leak is one of only three players in the history of the Touchdown Club to win its prestigious Sam B. Nicola Sr. Award as the Best High School Player in the nation and follow up the next year as a collegian award winner. Florida's Emmitt Smith and Ohio State's Maurice Clarett also won the awards in back-to-back years. That would, of course, be NFL rushing leader Emmitt Smith. Two (out of three) GATORS! Waddaya know.

How many Heisman Trophy winners have also won a National Chumpionship in the same year? Can’t think of many? What about Danny Wuerffel? And what team did he play for…?



Have a HAPPY HOLIDAYS folks. I’m off to the great white north for a week!

Leak is the real deal. Yalls coach, name escapes me now, really took some flak early in the year for starting him. He knew what he was talking about.
dayhiker

Be careful when you say "Leak" is the real deal.

I know at least one "Leak" that isn't too hot.
chili36

How about the QB for UT named Leak has a brother that's the "real deal". Better?
dayhiker

More accurate, but not better.
chili36

Oh, poe-ta-toe, poe-tah-toe. Better, accurate, accurate, better. I think it's accurate AND better.
dayhiker

Well, I am curious who UT will have to throw the ball downfield next year, so I guess I am having trouble finding it to be "better".
chili36
9:33:06 AM
12/22/03

Who'd of ever thunk that UT would be WR poor? It boggles the mind. Bama will be in the same shape, but we don't exactly have the same recent history of excellent receivers. It's not really the same comparison.

Did you hear that Childress went pro? He was only able to start about half the games for a 4-9 team, yet going pro is a good idea. It must be a grades thing.
dayhiker

Oh, I see how it is....
I was just spotting you guys some points. It's going to be embarrassing when I win after spotting you a few games.

I have three things to say:

28-23
10-7
28-21

Marinate on that till I come back with the winning bowl predictions

When do the REAL bowl games start. I know there's another loser game tonight pitting one nobody against another. I'm ready for some real football.
dayhiker

What is the current score in the race to become the next diety?

Have we already gained enough of a lead on cocoa to make his predictions meaningless?
chili36

12/22/03

I haven't calc'd the score as I've been home while my wife and daughter blew chunks. I got sick, but not that sick. When I get caught up with work I'll figure points. I don't think there have been enough bowl games for it to be a big deal. cocoa will still come in last though.

JAYHAWK

UUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

The football universe all revolves around the team from Kansas this evening. If their defense can contain one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, they should be able to put some points on the board. I'm psyched.

How long since the last bowl game for Kansas?
chili36
3:19:24 PM
12/22/03

Last bowl game for KU was in '95, which Kansas won. Back in the heady days of victory, the Jayhawks ended the season ranked 10th in the nation. Put that in your corncob pipe and smoke it.
Dunadan
3:23:10 PM

'95, well hell that's recent history.


Memphis made its first appearance in 32 years and had its first nine win season in over 40 years.
chili36

So whoooooooo won?? (guess I'll have to hit ESPN... but the lack of crowing from the fine Kansas plains has me wondering...)

All I have to say it: HAWKEYES BEAT WHATEVER STEENKIN' FLORIDA TEAM YOU PLAY ON JAN. 1!!!

thank you

Well, I scored 26 big points toward football divinity, but my team took a whuppin'. I thought it would be a mean game for the Jayhawks. KU just hasn't quite made it to the big leagues yet.
Dunadan
7:12:16 AM

BIG WHOOPS!! Just checked that Jayhawk score. OUCH!! But we still luv ya, Dunny, and know your bag nights are nowhere near the farce that game apparently was.

Hey, at least you played in a bowl game.


Did the outcome have any effect on your bet with Violin? Didn't KU finish 6-7?

WR young but certainly not poor. I don't think I'm too optimistic to expect Swain (fresh), Banks (soph), Hannon (soph) and Smith (fresh) to be playing on Sunday in a few years. Not to mention Meachem (medical redshirt fresh) who looked like the goto guy in preseason. The question is if we can find someone who can sling the football.

…Erik Ainge, the 6-foot-6, 200-pound quarterback from the Portland suburb of Hillsboro, Ore., plans to be the Vols' quarterback of the future.
Ainge, who has given the Vols' coaches a verbal commitment that he'll sign to play at UT on Feb. 4. "They have the best group of young receivers in the country,...

After Monday night, it's officially basketball season. Good luck to everyone on their bowl games. I guess I'll be lording it over all of you by January 3rd. Be aware! I am a jealous and wrathful deity.

Embarassing.
S. Jackson of OSU acts like he is going pro early. He really showed his stuff against NM.
Oh well, Beating Utah, CSU and NM State made it a fun year.


It is now BB season in NM.

Complete Domination!!
"Lobos headed to Las Vegas yesterday. I think they are ready to kick Oregon State's butt. 5 weeks off. The #18 defense in the country is gonna be swarming like yellowjackets and Dontrell Moore will be strutting his stuff while the massive offensive line punishes their counterparts."

Sorry Pathman, but those were your words. I shouldn't gloat but I'm probably the only OSU alum that stops by here once in awhile. I figured I better come out of the shadows and give you a little grief. That was as lopsided a game as I've seen in a looooong time. Love those Beavers!

Congrats to the Lobos on a good (8-5) season.

Ark 120
Arc 129


Lots of bowls to go, but AHHHM BAHK with a vengence!


Hope y'all had a happy holiday.

I'll be going to the Outback Bowl to watch Lizs' team beat up on that steenkin' unknown team from Florida. Will I see you there Lizs? Only true fans go to the bowls ya know. Especially when they're in the most beautiful part of the country.

Have a happy new year!!

Here are my results:

format: name, points, wins, possible points remainging.

arc, 129, 6 wins, 229
arky, 120, 7 wins, 231
Dunadan, 110, 5 wins, 195
chili, 91, 6 wins, 247
day, 88, 6 wins, 252

I think arc and I have Dunadan reversed. He numbered his which makes it confusing. I listed his in the order he did. I think arc flipped them based on the numbers.

I am not sure how this works, but chili just told me that in a few days I would have to call him "the big guy".

Whats going on?

It's about time you called him "the big guy" after that one comment (elsewhere) that he wasn't "that big." LOL!!! hehehee

Hey Arclite, I guess *boo hoo* I'm not a TRUE FAN!! waaaaaaaaah!!! But I have a reservation with my TV and ESPN for 11 a.m. Thursday!! Go Hawks!

Too bad Lizs. The temperature is supposed to be a brutal 72 with sunny skies. It'll be tough to handle. I'll be thinking of you snuggled up in the comfort of your artificially lighted, artificially heated, boxed-in environment. We'll try to treat the Hawkeyes as kindly as we did the last time our teams met in the Gator Bowl back in the 80s. I was there too.


Leave it to Dimadunce to do it differently from the rest of us. Is Dayhiker correct, Dun?

NEW TALLY (of course I may have Dunce-a-din's score all messed up):

Dun 68
Day 108
Chil 105
Ark 164
Arc 145

Nice job Texas! Leave it to a wimpy big-tweleve team to screw up against the PAthetiC10.

Good call on Fresno St. Arky. That was a sweet win for you.


Yessir, I'll be sitting in the stadium on Thursday and then I'll be kayaking with the manatees on Friday and Saturday. I hope all you northern folks enjoy your comfy boxes. It's supposed to be in the 70s and sunny all weekend. Good Lord it's a shame to be outside on days like that. Well, somebody's got to do it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!
