Obviously your dialup is a little bit on the fritz, let me assist you. sock puppet 1: A fake personality, usually a 'friend' or 'sister,' created by a drama queen/king for the sake of defending him/herself against others in an online forum. 2: Someone who might be an actual person but behaves like the above, defending someone who really deserves no defense. http://www.ziggityzoom.com/activities.php?a=48
Talking with this guy is futile, I still remember when he called Pearl Jam a band of the 80's lol the fact he's fighting the notion that Oregon's money and marketing has helped them in the last decade win recruits is silly, the guy is either dumb, deaf or blind
Sorry, I don't bookmark your posts man. But I'm sure you can find it in the music thread from a year or 2 ago
Mediocre in the sense that they are not USC, Florida or Texas. They occasionally make a run for the top, but not consistently. They are basically Washigton, OSU and WSU. IF Nike money made such a big difference for them, based on NIke's stature, they would be a dynasty. Either way, I don't think Nike money is helping them be better this year than usual. I think just a decent recruiting class is.
I don't bookmark your threads either, but before I'd say that you sucked off a drunken donkey - I'd get the proof first. In the 80's I was going to about 50-100 concerts a year - that'd make at least 500 shows - I have never seen Pearl Jam - as a matter of fact I only like 1 of their songs.
Still has to be coaching more than anything - IMHO. Anything with more than 2 losses a season makes it a mediocre one at best, in my opinion.
My memory and the music thread is proof, its just not that important to me right now to spend time digging through to find it. We were arguing music from 80's vs. 90's I think, and you refused to let Pearl Jam be 90's cause their band formed in the 80's or some logic like that, Green Day too I think

FAU is 1-5 this season. Nothing to play for... All we have left is the memories [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pPehk6E2Tw"]YouTube - FAU WINS FIRST BOWL GAME![/ame]
Notre Dame is taking alot of heat for the kid who fell off a tower and died while filming practice in really gusting conditions...an already miserable season for Kelly and the Golden Domers gets a bit worse, I guess.
Holly Beejeezus - that is just horrible. Goin' to ND site to chekerout. My thoughts with the Kid's Family.
Yeah, some people are claiming Kelly and the AD should be fired for negligence. Whatever the case, it's blatantly clear he shouldn't have been up there in those blistery conditions.
Despite Ohio State's issues the past few years, one of the best things about recent times has been watching Michigan and Notre Dame completely embarass themselves. So much fun. Especially since, at this point, I might dislike Notre Dame more than Michigan.
LOL, they lost to Tulsa!!!!!!!!!!! What an embarrassment, the QB threw a ridiculous INT when all they needed was to run the clock out and kick a field goal.
When I met their fans who believe they're god's gift to college football. When Charlie Weis claimed that every game they'd have an advantage on offense. When sports announcers proclaim, for some reason, that it's good for college football when Notre Dame is good. And, most of all, when Notre Dame fans and announcers claim that they're some sort of academic powerhouse as opposed to a decent private school in buf******** Indiana.
a. Almost every fan of a majour college team believes that their program is essential to survival of the Planet Earth,while not being one of disciples - I've met plenty of them in LA, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee, Oregon, Indiana, etc. b. Charlie Weis is a windbag. c.Notre Dame is good for college football in the same way as Barca is good for Spanish Footie, Habs are good for NHL, Celtics for NBA, etc. d.It's a very good school - always Top 20 in the rankings, my majour was ranked #1 for years - dunno how it is now; quality of the faculty is truly amazing - these are the facts, not anecdotes. As far as location - it's not like Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, Middlebury, AFA are in the thriving metropolises; on the other hand I would take any of those locations over USC, Columbia, NYU, Brown, Caltech or Princeton's. 2 most ideal locations for great schools are Harvard/MIT and Stanford - IMHO - but : "to each his own" said Bobik licking his beytsim.
a. Not to the same extent as Notre Dame. I'd never make the argument that college football is "better" when Ohio State wins. Its better for me. b. Right, and remind me whom he was coaching? c. No, its absolutely not. There is no divine right for Notre Dame football to be good. Nor is it "good for the game". College football is far more organic than LaLiga - alumni of Ohio State are happy when they win just like alumni of Notre Dame. But its not "better" for college football in general. Just like it won't be "better" for the Premier League if Liverpool start winning again. d. Notre Dame is not that good, sorry. They have a good medieval history department and a very good theology department. Other than that, they're a decent private school, but nothing amazing. That they get highly ranked in rankings has a lot more to do with money spent on students than it does on the quality of students/institutions. They're not Duke or Stanford. Hell, they're not even Berkeley or UCLA. If Stanford can have winning seasons without whining about it, so can Notre Dame. And I'm not a big fan of Stanford.
Yeah what Stanford has done shows how any team can turn it around witht he right coach. 3-4 years ago they lost to UC Davis and were 0-11 or something. 3 years later, they are running over USC at the coliseum. Great, great coach Jim Harbaugh. UCLA's biggest mistake was when they chose Neuheisel over John Harbaugh who was the other finalist for the position.
