If I may, I'd like to expand a little on my man crush from today, as it is not yet over. 
The year following my senior year, '05, AU traveled to Growney and 'upset' SJF on their home turf.  It was a game full of great stories, Julio dominated the 4th qt. as a freshman, Keeley went back to the school he had transferred from (and hated, no offense) and played a great game after getting rocked on a blindside hit and he went crazy when the horn went off. 
However, Brady was ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that game.
I was coaching at AU that year and had the defensive backs.  After a great game, it all came down to one play with @4 seconds left from the @8 yd line.  I'm in the box and on the headphones with Murray.  He calls up and says "Whatdya think Sarge?  Do we send him? (Brady, he didn't need to be referred to by name, it was kinda like referring to "The Guy Upstairs", you just knew who he was talking about)  I stuttered for a few minutes, shocked that he would even ask me (prolly one of his many tests where he asks a question but already knows the solution; I failed), and then I spat out, "Well.. they gotta be going to Noah, drop him back on Noah."  Murray thought about it for a minute, and then goes "Nope, I'm sending him.  Dance with the girl that brought ya."
Next play, he sends Brady off the left side of the D around the corner, and he wasn't even touched!  I mean, he is only the best player in the E8 for 2 years running, the guy who has destroyed you all game, and you dont even bother assigning ANYONE to him.  Not even a chip from a TE or RB!
Well, Brady hit that QB so hard, both feet were about chest level, the ball never crossed the line of scrimmage, I think I saw a shoe go flying with a leg still in it.  And that was game.
AU then got bent over and snubbed from the playoffs by a team that had been ranked behind us all year.
Is that QB still there?  He had to have been awfully sore after that game cuz Brady was just destroying him and anyone else he came in contact with (including the golden boy Robinson; was that low?)

Three points here:

I- Golden boy was coming back from injury that second half of the year and still scored on you with limited carries.
II- Golden boy ate you alive last year on your own home turf, ending any talk of AU being on that level.
III- Fisher will beat AU at home this year and end all of this talk once again.

Just in case you missed what happened:

ah i see, touche.

[superman57]

Not true Kaz00 I dabble with MLS and appreciate Altidore's skillllz.


On an unrelated note, I motion to ban the comparison of E8 teams to popular culture subjects (movies, tv shows, songs, etc.) for at least one year.  They started out funny and whitty but have since become redundantly redundant (do you see what i did there?).


What do you say Pep can you make it official?  Or maybe we should run a poll at the top of the page?

Second

We have a motion on the floor. Is there any discussion?

don't challenge me...I can do dead presidents, flowers, country's and the list rolls on

[fan of d3]

so stupidman57, what is the wager on the game today?
