Cotton Fitzsimmons

YE OLE' lost his know it all attitude when he attended Charm School, back in the day.

This thread has officially morphed into an uncontrollable beast now that YE OLE' hath joined the fray! Hold on tight boys and girls, THE HOOTINANNY is fin' to begin! To Gordio- You are walking on thin ice with your critique. Ye Ole' has been around these parts for a decade in one way or another, and he has seen many a poster go down this path, and get bani-SHED from the discussion. Now if you'll excuse YE OLE' he must go drop the hammer on some associates not doing their job.

The only thing I can say about that is... *BUMP*

Whenever Jairus Byrd makes a play, lets all stand up and yell "BYYYYYRRRRRRDDDDDD MAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!" and then pause for 3 counts and do a little Nature Boy Ric Flair "WHOOOOO!!!!!"

But at least Fitzpatrick would pull out the driver once in a while. I digress, LA, you know Ye Ole' has been a big proponent of Trent in his time here, but I too have grown frustrated with the constant check down. While I don't disagree that the line is horrible, I would like to see the ball go downfield more frequently. Even if they're not great throws, just try... let us see something different than a 3 yd. check down when it's 3rd and 13.

Then you don't want to be facing Ye Ole' on Madden 10, sporting the Chargers playbook. Cuz it's gonna be 12 play drive, everytime, and I'm going to bust the "Ye Ole' Bench Switch" the "Ye Ole' Inside Cross" the "Ye Ole' quick toss" and the "Ye Ole' HB Dive" allll day boyeeeeee. That's how Ye Ole' operates. 4 yds per play and ain't nothin you can do to stop it, rinse and repeat. It's like death by paper cut. I think it admirable that our staff also likes such a check down offense, conservative gameplan, as it much work in real football as well, because if it's in the game... it's in the game... boyeeeeee P.S. sometimes Ye Ole' runs the Ye Ole' Stick Route as well... for posterity sake of course

If we sign Jeff Garcia, lets all call him Jeff "Abu" Garcia... for posterity sake of course.

I agree to an extent. I would cut this staff some slack for the time being if they would put Fitzpatrick in there and see what happens. I don't know if it's the concussion or what, but Trent is not the same guy anymore. When he first got here, and we got on that roll at the beginning of last season he was sharp and quick with his delivery. 3 steps and the ball was out. And the thing that made Trent so good was even when he was hitting check downs, he was hitting his guys in stride and getting great YAC to move the chains. Now Trent is horribly inaccurate on these throws, to the point that when the catch is made, the RB's are fighting for their lives because the ball is so misplaced. I was a huge believer in Trent up to this point, but he's looking eerily similar to RJ at this point. Instead of 3 steps and fire, on target, in stride, he's dropping back... waiting... waiting... sack/fumble/etc. The mental process just isn't what it was.

I can't say that this is the worst team ever... but this might be the worst offense ever. It wasn't good under Schonert, but it was a far sight better than this garbage. 20 points total in the last 3 games??? Turk was right, this is a Pop Warner offense. I'm pretty sure RJ could come back and suit up with the '01 squad and outperform this group. The other side of this coin that is so frustrating, is the release of Dockery, Walker, and trade of Peters. We heard that their heart wasn't in it, they were lazy, couldn't keep up with the no huddle... etc. Well guess what? I'll take a lazy Dockery, and out of shape Walker, or Jason Peters in a heart beat right now. The same BS happened when we released Sam Adams. He was "fat" he was "lazy" was the excuse then. But the D-Line was much better with him. You can't just jettison these players and expect young, hungry, street free agents and assorted 7th rd. picks to replace them... I don't care how committed they are, they're simply not good players. This is just horrible all the way around.

Cleveland Browns W 41-3 This game would be a rout... plain and simple. @NY Jets W 24-10 Jets playing good defense, but not enough to compete in this one. @Carolina Panthers W 44-17 Should cruise to another victory in this one Houston Texans W 34-17 Texans play well, keep it close for a while. BYE @Tennessee Titans W 28-14 @Jacksonville Jaguars W 34-7 Miami Dolphins W 42-20 New York Jets W 21-14 @Kansas City Chiefs W 38-7 New England Patriots W 31-17 Indianapolis Colts L 24-28 @Atlanta Falcons L 17-28 With the division locked up, time to rest the starters 11-5 and they'd surely blaze a trail to the Super Bowl

If you wanna crown their ass, then crown their ass!!!!

"Ye" ... I like it. I went from Cotton to Old Cotton and then to Ole' Cotton. Then late in the '03 season I got a lecture from some MAROON who used to hang around here who shall remain nameless at this present juncture, about how Ole' Cotton should be Ye Old Cotton as it is traditional Quaker or some such BS. Now you have effectively shortened to YE... and thus the legend continues...

An interesting thread that should produce some interesting, thought provoking, debate. Here is the question I pose to my fellow Stadium Wallers: What if... the '09 Bills were replaced with the '90 Bills and they finished out the rest of this schedule. Mind you, they are starting from a 1-3 hole... lets have a break down of W/L game by game for the remaining schedule: Cleveland Browns @NY Jets @Carolina Panthers Houston Texans BYE @Tennessee Titans @Jacksonville Jaguars Miami Dolphins New York Jets @Kansas City Chiefs New England Patriots Indianapolis Colts @Atlanta Falcons 12 games left... please feel welcome to insert any commentary and predicted scores of each game as well as how the game would play out in your mind. Also, if you think that our beloved '90 team would win enough games to become playoff eligible please project playoff scenarios as well.

Wow, check out Page 32 in the guide... Head Athletic Trainer: Dave Hammer We should hire him as the new head of football operations and we can nickname him Dave "The Hammer" Hammer... a bid redundant, but as always it would be for posterity sake!

Personally, I was thinking that WVU's avatar is strong... real strong. The only thing missing from that picture is Ye Ole'!

That my friends, is the pen-ultimate of hillarity.

This exchange reminds Ye Ole' of a similar such exchange on the Jim Rome show. "ROMEY... I bet you don't call me that one more time... " "Bet I do... CHRIS!!!!" *BOOM*

GET'CHO POPCORN READYYYYYY!!!!!

Props to me haters!

Below is an excerpt of JP Losman's bio from the UFL website. I thought the highlighed section below was hillarious... "Height: 6-3 Weight: 218 Born: 3/12/1981 College: Tulane Hometown: Venice, California Professional Career Highlights: Drafted by the Buffalo Bills 22nd overall in the 2004 NFL Draft; in Losman’s first professional start he led the Bills to a 22-7 victory over the Houston Texans in 2005; in 2006 he threw 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 16 games, with 300-yard games against the New York Jets and Houston Texans; was rated the 11th best passer in the NFL with a 84.9 passer rating in 2006; on October 28, 2007 Losman led the Bills on two consecutive scoring drives, including one that ended with an 85-yard touchdown pass to WR Lee Evans; was a member of the Buffalo Bills from 2004 to 2008." It's like they claim JP's defining mement as a pro was on Oct. 28th when he led two scoring drives, one for a TD and one for a FG.

The benefit of Brandon Spoon over Keith Ellison, however, is that Spoon is a ST "Ace" Plus, I like to call him Brandon Spoon MAN, cuz that there SPOONMAN is a good jam, and thus a good nickname for Brandon. Now, rumor has it that Jonas Jennings is still floating around on the FA market as well. If we could get Brandon Spoon and Jonas Jennings back in here, we could kick it old school, like an old fool, that's so cool... and party like it's 2k1.

Keith Ellison has a "fragrance" alright...

Yes sir! That's why Ye Ole' is here! A little comic relief!

Ye Ole' stayed at the Adam's Mark once. Got up in the morning and had a nice breakfast of fresh fruit and buscuits... wedges of mellon and the like.

SOLUTIONS... a new fragrance from Keith Ellison... This Christmas, get the man in your life SOLUTIONS... it's simply intoxicating... then ole' Keith would bust a Jack Palance... slap some SOLUTIONS on and say something to the effect of "Confidence is very sexy... don't you think?"
