    You Americans are all big wusses, wearing helmets and padding etc.



    Why not play proper football (soccer)?

    I agree. Football is for sissies. Real men play hockey. Soccer is not for sissies, but it's close.

    i love "soccer". hell, i played it for over 20 something years, both indoors and out. but watching it can at times be as fun as watching the grass grow. fun to play, boring to watch, mostly.



    wusses huh? have you seen how big and how fast these guys are. if they didn't wear pads, there would be a whole lot of dead people laying on the side of the field after each game. even when you get hit with all those pads on you feel it. you feel for days. you really have no idea.

    Hooray for football.



    I got my first fix of the season last night with the North Texas v. South Texas All-Star game (high school level).



    My beloved Longhorns kick-off on August 31st, I'm getting impatient.

    Ah, American Football...



    You really like gorillas?

    We've got just the pet for you

    It's the way you're forced to act

    To survive our schools



    Make your whole life revolve around sports

    Walk tough-don't act too smart

    Be a mean machine

    Then we'll let you get ahead



    Jock-O-Rama-Save my soul

    We're under the thumb of the Beef Patrol

    The future of America is in their hands

    Watch it roll over Niagara Falls

    Pep rally in the holy temple

    And you're forced to go

    Masturbate en masse

    With the favored religious cult

    Cheerleaders yell-"Ra Ra Team"

    From the locker room parades the prime beef

    When archaeologists dig this up

    They'll either laugh or cry



    Jock-O-Rama-On the brain

    Redneck-a-thon drivin' me insane

    The future of America is in their hands

    Watch it roll over Niagara Falls

    Unzip that old time religion

    On the almighty football field

    Beerbellies of all ages

    Come to watch the gladiators bleed

    "Now boys, this game ain't played for fun

    You're going out there to win

    How d'ya win?

    Get out there

    And snap the other guy's knee!"



    Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!

    Ra Ra Ra

    Snap those spinal cords

    Ha Ha Ha



    The star quarterback lies injured

    Unconscious on the football field

    Looks like his neck's been broken

    Seems to happen somewhere every year



    His mom and dad clutch themselves and cry

    Their favorite son will never walk again

    Coach says, "That boy gave a hundred percent

    What spirit

    What a man"



    But who cares?

    Games over-Let's go get wasted man

    To the 7-11, to the liquor store

    Let's party all night and party some more



    Another Trans-Am

    Wrapped itself around a telephone pole

    "I ain't drunk, officer

    I just fell gettin' out of my car"



    Don't worry about it, son

    We were that way when we were young

    You've got all the skills

    To make a damn good businessman



    Jock-O-Rama-that's the law

    Come lick the butts of the Beef Patrol

    If the future of America is handed to them

    Watch it roll over Niagara Falls

    Yeah you feel it... that's why they only do one game a week.

    Of course he doesn't.

    What an accurate name for an OU fan.



    I look forward to October 12th, I think Mack Brown evens up the score this time. Your DL looks like an NFL DL but losing Roy Williams will help us out a lot.



    And your offense... well, I'm more scared of UNT's offense.



    It will be a great game.

    hello groverat,

    oct 12 will be glorious day. mack brown will once again show the sporting world that there is more to colloge football than a great recruiting class. you also have to know how to couch too



    williams and calmus will be missed, but the guys coming in behind them are very very solid. defense should be better than it was last year



    as far as the offense, unt indeed (ouch), the reason we had such a rough time last year at times was because or our o-line was being shuffled around all year due to injuries. not mention hybal tends to be a very one dimensional qb. i doubt we will se much of him this year, fingers crossed. white is back and far more of threat because of his mobility.you remember him don't ya? freshman rawls is going to be the one to watch next year, if not sooner. they will put the numbers up and be in the hunt for another national championship. by the way those are nice. you should get one sometime. you can always come and visit ours if things don't work out



    but your right, it should be a great game.

    Oh he can couch. He's got the reclining seat with the foot stool and everything. He can couch like a mofo.



    And he can coach pretty good, too, good enough to beat Okie State anyway.



    [quote]williams and calmus will be missed, but the guys coming in behind them are very very solid. defense should be better than it was last year<hr></blockquote>



    I keep hearing that. I would say the defensive line improving always helps a defense, especially one like OU's.



    I look forward to seeing what Cedric Benson, Chris Simms and our fleet of ungodly WRs can do. I figure 1 touchdown and a field goal wins the game for UT.

    I hear Hybl is battling Rawls for the 2nd spot. That's gotta hurt.



    [quote]white is back and far more of threat because of his mobility.you remember him don't ya?<hr></blockquote>



    Pffft. A gimmick quick QB after knocked out your first stringer comes in and scrambles a bit, I'm not impressed. We'll see how White does against a UT defense that's prepared for his style.



    [quote]freshman rawls is going to be the one to watch next year, if not sooner. they will put the numbers up and be in the hunt for another national championship.<hr></blockquote>



    OU will be in the hunt as long as Bob Stoops is there. He may be a hotheaded freak but he's a good coach.



    I would mention him screaming at White to go play on a hyperextended knee, but "that's just water under the dam".



    [quote]by the way those are nice. you should get one sometime. you can always come and visit ours if things don't work out<hr></blockquote>



    We've got a few of our own and are making plans to add to the collection.





    (I love college football and the related smack talk.)

    Niners play the Redskins in Japan this weekend. The NFC West will be interesting this year.



    Yeah, sissies...



    Being chased and landed on by a 400 pound Gilbert Brown in unforgiving pads...god, how girly!
