neither helmet is going to help prevent concussions....they'll happen no matter what

I think they'll help prevent them, rad...but you're right in that they won't completely eliminate them.

good find, AA

first I've heard of it.

here's a quote from a poster on warchant...worth a chuckle:

never thought I'd see the day when Rutgers, Kentucky, South Florida, Hawaii, Missouri, Cincinnati, Arkansas and Kansas were all ranked above us. Of course, I never thought I'd see the day when we were unranked this often either...

a women's roller derby team

yes, bobby votes.

Tate Casey in Meyer speak "is a good guy"

wouldn't it be some shit if both UK and UF were undefeated going into that game....

Hey Joe,

does UK still pump noise through the loudspeakers? They did when I went in 2001.

the are a microcosm of the Big XII...highly overrated. No defense anywhere in that conference (save Oklahoma) and mediocre offenses galore.

Seriously, to let that pedestrian offense of Miami's to throw up 34 points is just atrocious.

Found it: Tomorrow MSU will take the field for the start of another year at Spartan Stadium. This year will be like so many years with fans debating about the coach, the team, the players. It is a right of passage that begins every fall. For me it probably began in the fall of 1965. As a 12 yr old B...

Jordan still a degenerate gambler? I think he bet every line that was out when I knew him. Haven't seen him in years. Let me know if Jordan tailgates w/ you at any UF games...would love to catch up w/ him.

pic is definitely shopped.

I know a Jordan but can't remember his last name...August d...

different for everyone...

I wear a blue Nike Gator T-shirt tucked in to Khaki Shorts and a hat.

no thanks to this one.


I was for the blue out because it's what Meyer wanted...not some numb nuts fan.

If Meyer calls for a white out I'll wear white...otherwise, it'll be normal game day attire for me.

Yeah, toothy...I've heard of him...he won't score many points for you, but he'll get a lot of press.
