buckeyemike

Sophomore year in college. I was hoping the Bills would win because they would clinch the division early and get at least one home game at then-Rich Stadium. I actually have a photo of the postgame tearing down of the goalposts I downloaded and put on my refrigerator at the office.

To quote Homer Simpson: "Aaah!! A hungry hungry hippo!!"

(((groan)))

One article recently stated that the Focus Group Testing scores for "We Are...Marshall" were the highest of any Warner Brothers film in the last twenty years. Today, Marshall is off to a slow start in Conference USA play (1-4 overall, 0-1 conference) with their last second loss to Central Florida on Wednesday night.

I'm not a Stern fan, but you can listen to the West Coast feed on Sirius Channel 101 (three hours behind Channel 100). This "Wheel of Farts" thing might actually be funny. I love a good fart joke.

I saw the first episode, but did not see the last two due to other conflicts. I thought that it started out strong. How were the other episodes?

Let me know if you see your daughter when you watch the film. As far as the sense of community is concerned, the MU head coach said his team has already seen a sneak preview of the movie...apparently, the film pretty much nails it. According to the director, it was very important that they got the sense of how much it affected the town and the university correct.

Hmmm, I wonder what someone like Nancy Grace-less would have to say about this...

Actually, it is very disturbing.

Out December 22, the same day as Rocky Balboa. Many of you probably know the story of the Marshall University plane crash on November 14, 1970. The entire football team, along with coaches and boosters, were among the 75 killed on final approach to the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, West Virginia. My mother is from West Virginia and knows the story well. It is because of her that I know the story of MU and Huntington. The city of Huntington (population 49,000 and the home of MU) has been through a lot of suffering. This movie will tell the story of the 1971 Thundering Herd football team, which had a record of 2-9. It was nothing short of a miracle that the Herd won those two games. In fact, the Herd didn't even have a winning season until 1986. In 1987, the Herd went to the 1-AA title game and lost by one point. In 1991 through 1993, MU played Youngstown State three consecutive years in the 1-AA title game. MU lost in 1991 and 1993, but in 1992, on their home field in Huntington, the Herd won the national title 31-28 on a last second FG. The Herd went 15-0 in 1996, the most wins ever in a college season, in their last year in 1-AA. They have been 1-A ever since. ESPN2 will do a feature on the movie during halftime of tonight's Central Florida - Marshall game. Knowing the story as I do, I got chills up my spine watching the trailer.

Ha-ha -- my preference for Canadian beer on this board used to be well-known, until I stopped drinking because of my Krohn's.

208 -- buckeyemike to make the final post in the thread.

I am not a Hillary fan. Far from it. In fact, after her election in 2000, I swore I would never set foot in New York State as long as she was a Senator. I broke that in 2004, because I realized having Hillary in the Senate is probably a hell of a lot better than having her in private business. She has to master the art of compromise in the Senate, and Hillary went to the bottom of the seniority scale, due to Senate tradition. That said, just remember that she's got a decent chance of becoming our next President. Even though I'm not a fan, I must speak respectfully of someone who could be the leader of the free world in less than two and a half years.

Could be too much Labatt Blue...

Yawn. I'm no Harry Potter fan, but this is going too far. Boy, I've really been bitching lately. Must be near election time.

Which one? Maybe Tina Fey.

Good one. I thought that was very funny.

I find her really attractive...something about those eyes.

Is Locke paralyzed again?

Mine has to be in the episode with the Mormon family. At the very end, the Mormon kid tells Stan that he should respect other people's religions. He tells Stan that they can't be friends anymore and adds, for good measure, "Suck my b@!!$". I was eating when I saw that and nearly spit out my food, I was laughing so hard. What are your favorite moments from Matt and Trey's Kids?

I thought this was a post about the Cleveland Indians. Oh, well...

I'm starting to agree on the latter.

Bet on the gamers. And I can't believe I just said that. Generally, the Christian Right is too busy going after online porn and gay marriage to worry about internet gambling. Except if it's James Dobson, who has researched studies showing what gambling addictions can do to families (and by the way, politics aside, I think he's right, because I've seen some of the effects of it). Nonetheless, if we decide to live in a free society, that's part of the price we pay and the risk we take. None of us want to live in a nanny state, which is what we're rapidly becoming, and it doesn't matter if it's liberal or conservative. I say this: if it doesn't hurt others and no one else is affected by my actions except myself, I state the following to our Potential Nanny Overlords: LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE AND SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

I don't play online poker, at least for money. And I do not gamble. That said, this law sucks. Because what's next? Banning chili fries in the interest of public health and attempting to decrease flatulence, "in the interest of children"? If that's next, I'm moving to Canada. Folks, that's where we're headed. You cannot legislate morality. And at least one person here said that the casino lobby may be behind this. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Remember the ones in Congress who voted for this law. And come November 7, throw the bums out.

Last report I heard, six people were dead at the school in Pennsylvania.
