I hope it doesn't come down to this, but I think some kind of fantasy league would be better than none. Got to have something to do on Sundays after church. I guess I could look up college stats.

Stewart doesn't look good in this, but I don't know that I blame him. He was pretty much shown the door but asked to stick around so we can kick you some more.
It has been suggested we only use the BCS conferences. Is that still too many? I'm thinking only using 1 conference may be too few players. What say you?
We are trying to come up with something to keep our league interesting in case there is no NFL for a while or at all this year.
I know the college game is very different and many more players to choose from. Anyone with advice I thank you.

There aren't many instances where this coach in waiting stuff is harmonious and productive. This one may be the worst so far.
Another vote for Sweet Baby Ray's as this was recommended to us by the guys at Wilderness Lodge's Whispering Canyon restaurant at Disneyworld after we ate there and complimented their sauce. Told us the closest to their sauce on the market is SBR.
BUT, I still like to go old-school with original Kraft every once in a while.
Cattlemen's is not a turndown either.

The corporates are buying up all the tickets. You aren't going to get them fired up no matter what you pipe in. They are there to be seen and to drum up business. That is why Tiger Stadium is becoming dead. The true loyal diehard fans can no longer afford to attend the games and their tickets are bought up by the corporates. Pipe in all that junk you want, you are not getting them up off their seat unless it is to go to the buffet.

I can't stand that piped in junk. You kids need to learn to appreciate what you have in a great college band playing timeless songs about your school and teams. If it takes that piped in music to get you ready to play or watch a game you aren't an athlete or true fan anyway. Just stick your ipod in your ear and pipe in all the music you want. I'll take the live college band any day.

Signed
Grandpa and proud of it.

ESPN employs too many people. They use the term "expert" or "analyst" a little too loosely.
Yes. Any of the ones still alive would be great by me. Not as good as a Tiger championship, but better than a Big 12/10 championship. Better than a Big 10/11/12 championship. Better than a Pac 10/12 championship. So...Yes.

I've watched this show exactly one time because my wife wouldn't change the channel. They went to Disneyworld by van from Pennsylvania. About 2 commercial breaks into the show I told my wife those 2 are headed for a nasty divorce. They may not realize it, but they are going to end horribly. And none of those kids look like her.
I'm eating some now and they are gooooooooood! Ya'll had me worried but they turned out fine.
Why so? I haven't done this before but a local guy suggested this. Said his turn out well when doing it this way.
Richard's sausage incorporated into beans. Having them for supper tonight. They'll continue to cook in the crock pot until then. BTW they have been in the crock pot the whole time.

I wouldn't let the same broker keep the contract nearly that long. No more than one year and probably change after the first 6 months if the agent doesn't appear to be doing anything.

Disappointing way to end the biggest race of the year. Not saying it was wrong nor am I against Kenseth, I'm just disappointed in not being able to watch a wild last 20 laps where everyone is letting it all hang out for the win.
On to Fontana.

I hope you are right about Logano as half of my stuff has Home Depot on it. Course I bought it when Tony was driving the Home Depot #20 Chevrolet.

re: ITS TIME, DAYTONA 500!

I just hope Logano doesn't kill somebody while he is figuring things out. He has already introduced himself to the outside wall.

Tony will have no trouble moving up through the field as it is a long race. However, the "big one" could take him out when he gets in the middle of the pack.

Tony and Ryan are both starting in the back of the field having to use backup cars. Ryan is actually using Tony's Bud Shootout car as he wrecked both his cars. The crew wrapped Tony's Office Depot/Old Spice #14 Chevrolet car he used last weekend into an Army #39 Chevrolet. Ryan is costing Tony a lot of money this week.

I believe Jim is the Asst. Athletic Director in charge of broadcasting or something like that. He does not have the Jim Ferguson type of "radio" voice, but he has had a long career calling some extraordinary athletic Tiger moments. I prefer to keep him if the replacement would be Hanagrif or Rush. It has been a LONG time since I have heard a good "radio voice" on the airwaves. Most are just regular guys like us.

I've been so busy I've missed most of SPEEDWEEKS. I had planned to take off some and watch everything, instead I've seen just the Bud Shootout. Today I'm ready.
I'll predict a Tony Stewart win with Mark Martin second. Dale, Jr. third.
Florida. I have a cousin-in-law that's a big Gator fan and doesn't give me crap about my Tigers, so he roots for the Tigers and I root for the Gators when we aren't playing each other. Good times.
Plus I hate Bama.

Well you see, I was through with my national anthem, so it wasn't disrespectful on my part as I was finished.
Do you stand at attention at home when they sing the national anthem? If you are going to call me disrespectful, I think you should always stand up, at home or not, while the anthem is playing. We can't go around being disrespectful now can we?

Mistake for Will. Mack Brown is only like 57 years old and may coach another 25 years. Is Will suppose to take his name out of consideration for any other jobs until finally Brown retires? Assistants must strike while the iron is hot.
