I'm getting kind of old, but wasn't there a couple of teams on the west coast that used to be relevant?

espn is a sub of disney, and they want to squash a lot of things.

Quote from: DuffMan on November 30, 2024, 06:04:03 PMWait, was there another middle finger salute?!?  First SNC, now UW-Laxative?

A recurring Wiscy theme?

Quote from: OzJohnnie on November 24, 2024, 04:49:10 PMWow.  I thought that was going to be the most Vikings game ever since the last most Vikings game ever.  But it was not.  It appears the Vikes are saving that performance for the post-season.

It was a very "Viking" game.

I refuse anything to ESPN/Disney.

Quote from: DuffMan on September 18, 2024, 02:32:01 PMThere's a good article on SJU's Will Blakey (or Blakely, if you prefer  ) on the front page, for those of you that don't frequent it.

The old man in the backfield

Ernie England on the '76 team had four years in the Air Force

Congrats Art, if my bride and myself were to have a 40th, we will be 90, I don't foresee Alaska (God's Country) to be on the agenda.

What day is that Oz?

Do I see a newly named "one teated cow" on the board?

Quote from: OzJohnnie on April 28, 2024, 07:52:50 PMOn Thursday morning, #2 and I went to the dawn service at the War Memorial for ANZAC Day (Australia and New Zealand's joint Memorial Day).  Apparently, 40k people were there.  It didn't seem like that many to me, but it was pretty dark, as you can see, and we were close to the front of the crowd.

So we're standing in the cold and dark at 5:15am waiting for the service to begin and the day's schedule flashes up on a screen.  #2 asks, "Uh, this isn't the servicemen's parade?"

"No," I chuckle. "You clearly said last night that you wanted to go to the dawn service."

"I thought that was the parade.  Doh."

"Well, now you can say you've been to the dawn service.  Not a complete loss."

We saw that when we were in Melbourne, impressive Memorial.

Quote from: OzJohnnie on April 08, 2024, 11:01:31 PMThat's a nice looking bike.  And some beatiful countryside for you Vegas ride.

Also, you're always welcome to visit Aus, of course.  I would love the opportunity to show you or anyone from these boards (even snoopdawg) a nice night out in Melbourne.

I'll vouch for Oz's statement, my wife and I were there, gulp, seven years ago and had a great evening with him and his bride.

Welcome back, it's great to see this again.

The NCAA selection committee has to be incompetent.

It doesn't have to be, but it sure is.

Quote from: DuffMan on November 16, 2023, 05:36:59 PM
Might as well petition into the Big 10.

Big 20?

Winter well my friends, screw the selection committee.   And summer well Oz.
