But Josh, Pat can offer you an elite category of participation, even more esteemed than "Hall of Fame" or "Guru".

For an appropriate (and in your situation nominal) sum, you can be a Sponsor (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum) of D3football.com, complete with your avatar or picture, HSU Cowboy logo and a few sagacious words to the D3 Community!

This is actually my first post.  I am an alum of ETBU.  How do yall think their team is going to do this season?  I saw the first game of the year, but I really feel they were overmatched before the game started.  SAU was HUGE!

[Ron Boerger]

Looking forward to you and Ron's work this weekend.

What Pat means to say is he hopes you will teach me how to be a more effective writer.   

But Josh, Pat can offer you an elite category of participation, even more esteemed than "Hall of Fame" or "Guru".

The way some people are about getting "credit" for posts (OK, I'm one of 'em), maybe Pat could sell bumps to the post count as a fundraiser next year.  There would be some who'd pay, sad as it is. 

[Josh Bowerman]

And I don't really care, either...that much!  This weekend should be fun.  Ralph, are you going to join us either in Abilene or at Risky's in Ft. Worth for some post game festivities?

And I don't think your "sponsorship" idea is all that outrageous, Ralph.  I've mentioned before that I'd be willing to subscribe for premium content, which is akin to the Kickoff special.  And if folks order prints from the McM/AC or HSU/LC game this weekend, all of the proceeds will go to benefit d3sports.com.  I'm not taking any cut--best I can do for the site right now. 

Besides, I get the priviledge of offering pithy comments for free, now!   

And Ron, I did take some journalism courses as an undergrad, but I think you do just fine!

[Ron Boerger]

Pat cleans a lot of my trash up, Josh.  Trust me.   

Congratulations to MHB's Stephen Morton, named to D3football.com's Team of the Week:

LB Stephen Morton, Jr., Mary Hardin-Baylor

Morton had 10 tackles and three tackles for loss in his first collegiate start. He also forced a fumble and recovered a fumble to lead the UMHB defense in a 45-24 win at Willamette.

Josh took journalism classes. More like Josh attended journalism classes. I read some of those stories.

[Warren Thompson]

Josh Bowerman:

What's with the symbol? Are you a Mason? Or do you merely like the G within the protractor/compass/whatever?

[baddog]

Warren -- Why not question the use of a beer cap for a symbol?
Or does Spirit have a shiner?
Or does he play in the "Bock"field?

Can someone tell me how to make the "personalized picture avatars" remain permanent?  (for dummies)

I click the "change profile"...and it updates the picture, but when I check it later...I get the familiar rectangle with the red "x" in it.

It looks like others have  the same problem....

Thanks.

You've got to host it on a real web site somewhere.  I know that I was unable to use Yahoo!Briefcase to host images.  They would work for about five minutes and then blow up as you observe.  There are other free hosting services out there, or if you just want to send me your jpeg/gif (use the email addy in my profile) I'll stick it on one of my websites and send you the URL. 

[Josh Bowerman]

FWIW, yes I am, Warren.

And Pulitzer quality my articles were not, but they were pretty decent.  I don't know who "Spirit" is, but obviously we overlapped at HSU.

Thank you, Ron.

Email has been sent to you...about the avatar!

Have a great weekend in Abilene!

Thank you...Ron!

(With the HSU Avatar...it's working.

Classy, huh?

Have a Shiner on Josh this weekend!

[Spirit_of_66]

Lighten Up Josh, just having a little fun with you. I still preferred the comic musings of El Guapo. And I will admit your photos are first-rate, then and now. Actually you are getting better.

Baddog, It is all about the Shiner.

[Josh Bowerman]

I might be able to rustle up a Shiner or two!   

Thanks for the compliment, 66.  I'd still like to know who I'm typing to, though.
