Well, yes, that is true. From the Orlando Sentinel quoting man/manimal Ricky Jean-Francois talking about tackling Tim Tebow: When I talked with Jean-Francois last week, he said his defensive line getting a clean shot on a quarterback like Tim Tebow equates to “a car wreck without a seat belt.” And review what happens in the middle of the line when Mr. Jean-Francois decides that he doesn’t like the play you just called: And we’re over here saying, “My, yes. Whatever you like Mr. Jean-Francois, yes. More blood punch?” (YES MOTHERFUCKER!) “Certainly!” (”YOU PEE SITTING DOWN FROM NOW ON!”) “Quite, yes!” PAC-10 Quarterbacks Suffering Colds and Flu, but like, in their joints. Both Rudy Carpenter and Mark Sanchez are iffy for the Arizona State/USC game this weekend: Sanchez with a bruised bone in his left knee, and Rudy Carpenter with a sprained left ankle. Dennis Erickson says he will not start Carpenter unless he’s “close to 100 percent,” because he’ll be down to the usual state of shock, delirium, and near-death once his offensive line “protects” him for four quarters, and you really don’t want to go into that with anything less than a full tank of survival fuel. Washington State is not liable for any and all maiming suffered. You, too, could play quarterback for Washington State University: just come on down and try out, thanks to injuries, anemic offensive performance thus far, and Paul Wulff’s wacky sense of humor. A walk-on former CFL player will undoubtedly surface, find love in the arms of a young professor, and get a second chance at life on the gridiron after squandering his talent on booze and arrogance the first time. (Call Bruckheimer! Make! This! Happen!) His hate is strong and rising. It’s Hate Week over at BON, and Peter’s picking out elegant coffee table books just for the occasion. Feelings are important: Jeremiah Masoli, Oregon’s quarterback, has feelings, and like all feelings, we respect them, and yet want to shove them deep down with booze, anger, and all the healthy things men do with their rage and sadness. Why? Because saying this like this out loud is pure FAIL: Said Ducks QB Jeremiah Masoli after Oregon’s 44-10 loss to USC: “We feel like we’re the better team.” See? It would have been better if he’d just done what we do: have a cocktail, pass out, and then break down weeping five minutes into the first Disney cartoon that crosses our path later on. Damn you, Dumbo. Damn you to hell. |

Actually, the players make the decision. It brings me a great sense of charity for my home state to provide so many young men from texas the opportunity to be champions.
14- Hockey doesn’t count. Like soccer and the ACC, I rarely acknowledge it in either geographical terms or as an idea/concept.

Isn’t it funny how people from Oklahoma categorize the state of “Texass” as worthless real estate, yet when they need good football players, where do they go?

Aww, look the little fella from the Indian territory is hating on Texas. Hey, land thief get over it!
Texas joined the union by joint resolution because it was an independent nation, not cast away unwanted land (see Norman, OK). Tyler’s opinion on annexation changed after the election of James K. Polk (the Napoleon of the Stump), who made it a key campaign issue. The annexation of Texas was approved by President Tyler 3 days before Polk took office. Tyler’s failure to be reelected was due to many things, including his lack of support for Texas joining the union. Maybe after BlowU gets that whole rampant incest problem (see the Stoops family) under control you guys can actually get to that illiteracy thing and read a book or learn how to use a calendar.

When was the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup? That’s what I thought.
Save your smack talk for the State Fair, which hopefully will be swallowed whole by the earth on Saturday.

poor john tyler
if only he hadn’t supported statehood for north mexico, i mean texass, maybe he could’ve run for reelection
it’s kindof sad that texass has the distinction of having their statehood rejected twice before tyler backdoored them into the union as his last act

So texas is to the US as Oklahoma is to Canada? People that are more friendly on the whole, a better economy, a government that isn’t run by a texan (though, to be fair, he’s actually a native of the east coast), and a national sport that features the best locals as well as a bevy of folks from the other country (US) that play up there because it’s better up there. Yeah, I can go with that.

“Fuck you texas” - a simple tune of hate. Hilarious. Must be tough being from Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is Texas’ Canada.
