:lol: It warms my heart to see bad teams make them squeal :lol:

GP1, do you employ people?How are you organized?Do you have an accountant handle your taxes and book-keeping?You talk about grabbing your balls and doing it, but there are a lot of things to be screwed up, particularly when dealing with the government.I searched around the internet for some guru site about this sorta thing, and it almost seems that no one really wants to touch it comprehensively.

I have to admit that I was wrong.I thought for sure he was gone.This doesn't fit the well established template I have for the university not wanting to invest in the best,or in individuals with virtues and objectives other than higher fame and fortune.

OMFG! :rofl: :rofl:

I think you have moderated your position a bit, or at least your tone.I don't know why I objected to it so much. You have a right to it.Can you do me this much GP1, and join me half way.If I say that Frye has never appeared to be (or play at) an NFL level QB in his time in the NFL (or perhaps before it), will you come out and say that you wish him the best and that he finds a fit and rises above expectations?

heh, that didn't take longWe had the complete ride man. It was great.

OMFG that is HUGEI thought it was over.:(So close

DOH!!!!

PKs again! ARGH

Because you didn't win the game outright during game action?I think there is a logic to it.Sucks when you don't get the win, but if you are the team that ended up losing after keeping your opponent scoreless only to lose on PKs, you don't feel taking one in the lose column represents your effort?

Yeah, same here. Do you know what was annoying me?This offsides rule.From the few times I have seen it called, I assume that you are not allowed to pass the ball into the box, it has to be dribbled into it?Wow, that just seems like a score killer.BTW, how would you like to be Jordan Graye today?That's got to feel miserable.I hope this helps. The mindset to begin with in understanding the rule it is that you can't be cherry picking. Here is what I found on the internet that was labeled as "Offside Rule easy to understand"???? When is a player called offside?A player, usually a striker, is called offside when he is nearer to the other team's goal than both the ball and the second last opponent. The second last opponent usually being the last defender from the opponent team, an offside occurs when the striker is closer to the opposing team's goal than that team's last defender. To put it simply, try to picture an imaginary line on Team A's last defender, a line parallel to the goal line (similar to the first down line on televised football games). If Team B's striker is over this line when his teammate passes the ball, then he is offside. If Team B's striker is on the same line as Team A's last defender (or under the line) then he is in a correct position. One more thing to look after in an offside: it doesn't matter if Team B's striker is over this line when he receives the ball. The moment to look after is the moment the midfielder passes the ball, which will trigger an offside if the striker is over the last defender line.Got it. Thanks.In a way, it reminds me of the 3 second violation in basketball. Different, but I think the reason behind it is similar.

this is wow

wow, you guys are right about the announcers shouting more excitedly when NC breaks for a goal, but they are doing it less often... so I dunno. It is what it is I guess

lol big AD getting face time on camera

can I breathe yet?

I saw lots of akron fans in the first game.

samethe previous game went a little long.is it possible that they delayed the start of this game?

does time warner have espnu?

Hey i'll agree that"The future is bright" but i wont agree that "he can't be anymore excited".maybe he should be wearing shades?

zippadedittoLet me just add on thing.There is no replacement for one thing: WINI know you guys are in a position of responsibility for a lot of things, and I am not suggesting you neglect them. However, what will set you apart is your ability to meet those other responsibilities and manifest the consistent success on the field.I stayed with JD Brookhart in his 4th and 5th years while others grew impatient. I will be patient again, but don't let that stop you from demonstrating early on why you guys were brought here.Congratulations.

VERY hard to argue with that line of reasoning.He ought to know better than anyone on this board regardless, but that's not the point. There is no greater factor to consider than human nature, and it's hard to imagine that he would make a bad decision when it would obviously be self-destructive.The only question I would ask is, how much was he limited by things out of his own control, such as money limitations, for one example.

What has he done to earn your trust?What has he done to lose your's?lolI'm gonna stick up for GP1 here (I can't believe it).I don't think trust can be lost if it was never had.Don't confuse trust with respect. I think the AP automatically deserves respect, unless he does something to lose it.I also think that I would like to have faith that he knows what he is doing.But trust? That's a rough one.I tend to be an optimist. And like I said when the Ianello rumor thread started, IF (and I don't know that it is true, whatsoever) our new HC is brought in for his recruiting prowess and leadership vision, and may lack the X's & O's, then all the AD has to do is complete the organizational package around him to (look out for it) "build the program" and fill in those gaps.[edit-add]BTW, GP1, I'm sure you don't see it this way, but I think that the sign is a tribute to you.Don't focus on it's negative aspect. I understand why it was made. Frankly, your style hasn't always been my favorite either.But I am jealous that got a sign made to you. I got no sign, and if smart guy makes me one, it certainly wont get used often.

how does the moon cross the sky without Chase Hoobler pushing it?
