Same way here with Penn State. But if I were to not punt as Maine against K-State... the score would probably have been much... MUCH higher against me.
-
Pretty much why I did Maine. Try playing as Navy or something. Being an Independent lets you choose your own schedule.

Post your current or new dynasties that you are running or going to create. ----------------------------------------------------------- Getting tired of playing and dominating as Penn State I started a new Dynasty as the University of Maine Black Bears. Difficulty - All American Quarter Length - 5 minutes Prestige - * Playbook - Run and Gun Best overall player - 72 HB First game of the season was my 117th ranked Black Bears against #5 Kansas State. I actually jumped ahead 14-0 on a interception return for a TD and a good 57 yard drive to end the 1st quarter. Then... the shit went down. I managed to hold them to a respectable 68 yards rushing so on that front I was doing well until they decided they will just stop running the ball for the remainder of the game. Keep in mind that my CB's ratings at 56, 62, 67 and 58. FS is 64 and SS 57. K-State went to the Shotgun in the 2nd quarter but none of my DB's could match their #1 and 2 recievers. First play of the second quarter was a post 72 yards for a TD. 3 and out on the next drive for Maine. Punted to K-State and they started from their 34. Easy way to put this drive would be 3 plays, 66 yards, TD. 14-14 My next possesion ended with a FG. 17-14 Maine. Got K-State to 3 and 7 and they proceed to burn me for a 40 yard gain for a 1st down. My secondary is just crumbling. Man coverage... zone... double slots... K-State's receivers just outmatch me at all points. TD K-State and it went down hill from there. I did manage to score another TD but finished the game losing 37-24. 0-1 Second game was against UAB and since we are both lowly ranked I managed to have a good game and beat them 24-7. 1-1 - Went up to #113 Third game was against UAAM (University of Alamaba A&M) and I just blew them out 56-14. 2-1 - Now ranked #72 Fourth game is #72 Maine against #52 Marshall. This was a pretty back and forth game but very sloppy. Picked of the Marshall QB 5 times but I lost 2 fumbles and threw 2 INTs of my own. Managed to beat them 21-17. 3-1 - Now ranked #56 and my next game will be against the #26th ranked Cornhuskers. Should be fun.

You know... every Ashley I've ever known is a bitch. Including my cousin. -
Maybe the players need to start eating Rice-A-Roni before every game. After all... it's the San Francsico Treat.

So.... you did nothing and are taking credit for a National Championship?

They can easily go to a shelter and find injured dogs as well.

Students Protest Euthanasia Research At University Dogs' Legs Surgically Broken For Research POSTED: 11:23 AM EST December 31, 2003 UPDATED: 11:30 AM EST December 31, 2003 GRAFTON, Mass. -- About 30 students at the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine are appealing to spare the lives of five dogs scheduled to be euthanized this week as part of a research study on how to treat broken bones in canines. As part of research by Tufts veterinarians, the dogs' legs were broken surgically and then set to heal in different ways. The dogs are now scheduled to be killed to measure the results. Dr. Angie Warner, the associate dean for academic affairs, defended the research, saying it will likely lead to faster and stronger recoveries for dogs. She said it would help veterinarians better treat dogs hit by cars, "a situation that happens with unhappy frequency." Warner said the dogs are put under anesthesia and were given pain medication after their legs were broken. One leg was treated with a tradition "fixator," an external device attached to the dog's leg with screws. The other leg was treated with another type of fixator that is more flexible and moves slightly. Researchers predict the dogs' bones will heal faster and stronger with the flexible fixator. The dogs are scheduled to be killed as soon as this week. Students working on a different project in the same building where the dogs are housed learned of the study, which began earlier this fall. "The more information we found out, the worse we found the research was," said Tara Turner, one of the protesting veterinary students. A call to the school's spokeswoman was not immediately returned Wednesday. http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/27352...297/detail.html ------------------------------------- Disgusting.

Have you ever gotten grease out of a carrot?
-
While I agree with the banning since it was BEYOND the pale.... is there warnings anymore or not if something is grotesque but not as overly bad as this?
-
I remember high school and girls bragging about cheating on their boyfriend. Why these people choose to CREATE DRAMA in their life and then... complain about it... I have no idea.

You should have at least put it to a vote. The people that enjoyed and actually post in it at least 2-3 times a week liked it. While it is your board I think you could have at least seen if there was support for it or not.

I imagine Jim Fassel will take the job. They have a decent offense (need a RB) and he will help the defense which seriously underachieved.
-
Why don't you like him? I don't have a feeling either way regarding him. I like some of his policies and dislike others. Overall I am satisfied in his job so far.

The Mozilla download manager is good as well.

Can't you just create on big "Are You A Fan Of Theses Shows?" thread?

The show sucked in my opinion. Some moments of funny but very little.

Work. God I work too much.

According to Wes Pruden in the Washington Times we should all be dead. http://www.washtimes.com/national/pruden.htm We're all supposed to be dead by now By Wesley Pruden Nobody addicted to TV news dares order a steak unless he has made out his will, and there's a new outbreak of SARS in China. Here we go again, maybe. The good news for the ranchers is that somebody will find a poison carrot or a toxic cabbage sooner or later to quiet the vegan cheering, and for the rest of us the only hopeful news is that 'flu is likely to get us before SARS does. The rest of the news is scary. The terrorism alert is at Code Orange, a new infestation of bedbugs has swallowed Manhattan and is believed headed south, Paris Hilton is still employed, and Howard Dean is about to be the Democratic nominee for president. Begone, wicked and malevolent 2003, and good riddance. This is the season for applying meaningless superlatives to the calendar, for picking the Top Ten stories, personalities, events, diseases and curses. On the other hand, there's nothing new about fires, earthquakes, plagues, mudslides and presidential candidates. The year now ending is no worse on balance than a lot of other years, and 2003 has been considerably better than some. The fevers and plagues of yesteryear are dreadful on a scale unknown in modern times. That's why at the beginning of every winter we of the media dust off the scary accounts of the Great 'Flu Epidemic of 1918, when even the flies were dying like people. Not just disease, either. Those of us old enough to remember World War II and the smaller wars in its wake can recall years that were very, very bad. My grandfather, who died many years ago, regarded Yankees as the standard of evil to measure the Japs and the Huns against. (Before he died, he had begun to think well of the Japs and the Huns.) Comparisons are but thin consolation. If you have one foot in a fire and the other in a bucket of ice, a statistician could tell you that on average, you're warm. But we must take comfort wherever we can find it, and an anonymous Internet correspondent reminds me that some of us shouldn't even be here, given the givens. As Groucho Marx (the distinguished Dr. Hugo Z. Quackenbush) famously told his patient, as he was taking his pulse: "Either my watch has stopped, or you're dead." Here's what my Internet correspondent reminded me of (and if you see it on the Internet, it must be so): "According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s probably shouldn't have survived. Our mothers put us in cribs covered with bright-colored lead-based paint. "There were no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, and when we rode our bicycles into traffic (bike paths were unheard of), we had no helmets. If we didn't feel like pumping a bike up the hills, we could always hitch a ride with strangers. There were no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was particularly special. "We drank water from an old garden hose, not from a bottle. One bottle of bellywash could be shared with up to four friends, drinking from the bottle, and no one died. "We gorged on cakes, pies, candy, bread and butter, and anything we could find with lots of sugar in and on it, and we were never overweight because we were always running through the 'hood. "We never heard of 'play dates,' and left home in the morning and played all day, and the only rule was to get home before the streetlights flickered on. No one could reach us because nobody had a cell phone. "We spent hours building go-carts from lumber and nails scrounged from neighbors' garages and raced them down the hill to discover only at the bottom of the intersection that we forgot the brakes. Running into the bushes was good enough. "We fell out of trees, played with BB guns until we got a .22 rifle on our 12th birthday, fought "war" with dirt clods, broke bones, lost teeth, stepped on nails and caught fishhooks in noses. Nobody's daddy had a lawyer. "We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and most eyes survived intact (the worms didn't). "We walked into our friends' houses whenever we felt like it. We chose up sides for ballgames, and if somebody didn't make the team, he learned to deal with it. There was nobody to counsel the losers (who would have felt insulted if there had been). "The generations that suffered these deprivations made the best of it, producing the explosion of innovation and ideas that transformed the world. "Kind of makes you want to run through the house with a pair of scissors, doesn't it?" Wesley Pruden is editor in chief of The Times.

The grease is what makes it good. Are you some type of vegan hippie or something?
