Hungry for Some Bear

I am tired of eating turkey. Have a hankering for some bear this afternoon.

Here’s hoping the team gets off to a fast start and gets the bad taste of last Saturday out of their heads ASAP.

Crabtree...

Needs to have a HA-yuge day today

i wanna put out a scenario no one is talking about...

so KU and mizzou are close right now

if mizzou loses…

they are a 9-3 team going to title game…

if it’s a 3 way tie into that game.. and mizzou beats whoever it is…

does mizzou HAVE to get a BCS bid? or can they give whatever to the other 2 in the south?

do conference champions have an auto bid into the bcs games?

Wreck 'Em Tech!

that sucks...

so a 10-3 mizzou would get a bid over an 11-1 south team

i hate the bcs

I don't understand what McNeill is thinking

We had mostly 2nd string in on tha series on the DL with Baylor on a short foeld after a urnover. If there is ever a time for a stop, it was during that series.

by NM99 on Nov 29, 2008 3:21 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Don't think so

He is religious in alternating series.

by NM99 on Nov 29, 2008 3:22 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Maybe he’s giving the Seniors a quarter?

by Red Raider in South GA on Nov 29, 2008 3:23 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

McNeill's personnel decisions lately

have been on the mystifying side. It’s bad enough when we’re playing soft zone the entire first quarter anyways, let’s at least keep the varsity in there.

He’s had it all year. It’s just never had a chance to heal.

by NM99 on Nov 29, 2008 3:26 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

my understanding is

that it’s a fracture, and so it’s going to keep bothering him until he gets a full offseason to heal, since he’s obviously going to start until he’s only held together with medical tape and ace bandages. After that he ought to be good to go.

Mac Brown is politicking on ESPN

He says that if Tech were in the BCS Top 5, then head-to-head wins matter. But since we’re not, then it shouldn’t.

to just make his own personal rules up.

If UT had the case to make

he’d let the record speaks for itself. Unfortunately, the record is saying “UT needs as much help as Tech” so Mack Brown is talking as loud and as fast as he can.
