Just saw the promo on NFLN as I clicked the thread....lol.
Looks like must-see appointment viewing.

Kirk Herbstreit is among the very best at what he does, regardless of the sport and I'll have words with any man who says different. Corso is a sideshow clown. If they need a third man, get rid of Howard and, as much as I can't fucking stand the asshole, replace him with Mark May.

Dog of fallen Navy SEAL to lead Iowa onto the field in opener?Posted by John Taylor on August 26, 2011, 1:55 PM EDT
There are a lot of really cool entrances in college football, from Michigan players running onto the field and high-fiving a “Go Blue” banner to Clemson players touching Howard’s Rock before racing down The Hill to many, many others.
If the following comes to fruition, however, it would easily trump those traditions on the chill-factor scale and go down as one of the most emotional and memorable entrances in recent memory.
Earlier this month, Navy SEAL and lifelong Iowa fan Jon Tumilson was one of 31 members of the United States military — including 21 of his fellow SEALS — killed when their helicopter was shot down following a mission inside of Afghanistan. Tumilson’s funeral was earlier this week and a photo of his beloved dog laying in front of the casket throughout the entire service made headlines and caused many a room across the world to suddenly get extremely dusty.
After watching videos and seeing pictures of the poignant scene, former Hawkeyes football player Jon Lazar had an utterly brilliant idea: allow Tumilson’s dog — aptly named Hawkeye — to lead the Iowa football team onto the field before the season opener. Lazar told Pat Harty of the Iowa Press-Citizen that he has already broached the subject with Iowa officials and requested they make this happen
“It just tears you apart to see that (video),” Lazar said. “But I thought how great it would be for that dog to lead the Hawkeyes down to the field and to have the announcer tell the story of this dog.
“I think everybody would be crying in the stands.”
[/goose bumps]
Would there be a better way, eight days before the 10th anniversary of 9-11, for Iowa to honor the memory of both Tumilson and all his fellow serviceman who have given the ultimate sacrifice by having the soldier’s beloved dog lead his favorite football field out onto the field?
I implore Iowa officials to take Lazar’s idea and run like hell with it. And, I would also urge any Iowa alumni reading of this idea to contact the school and implore to it run like hell with it as well.
This. Needs. To. Happen.
Shit still gets me fucking emotional whenever I see or hear about it. Not just the dog either....can we bring these boys home already? How many more have to die for a war that no longer makes any sense and has no purpose?

Second degree battery. What kind of fucking coward pussy kicks a man in the head when a bunch of your equally cowardly pussy buddies have already beat him to the ground?

Can i just say how much I fucking despise these asinine "vs" threads?

Not surprising at all. I really hope when these politicians are trapped in a burning building or whatever, no one comes for them.
Yeah, and NYPD and FDNY can say "hey....you didn't invite us to come rescue you."

Jesus, Collins? They could have at least called Grandpa Brent. Or shit...take a troupe into the mountains of Montana or wherever and spend a day or two looking for Jake Plummer.

Not gonna lie....cried like a motherfucker when I read that story and saw the picture.

No room? Well FUCKING MAKE ROOM. There's no excuse, explanation, or reason for this. None. :thththblowup:

I love most Pro Combat unis. Is FSU not wearing them in 2011 based on that list? Or is that list just the new additions to the series? FSUs 2009 Pro Combat unis are too sick!
Superstition being what is, Jimbo doesn't like to wear them because they are 0-3 in them (0-2 vs Boston College of all teams, too).

Saw Conan today. Give it a C+.
THE BAD
- Weak dialog. Most lines were one or two lines
- Too many cliche moments.
- 99% of the cast mailed it in and was just there for the paycheck
THE GOOD
- Jason Mamoa is a complete badass.
- Great battle scenes
- Some nice homages to the original
I only paid $6 for the matinee so I guess I can't complain too much. It's certainly worth getting on DVD when it comes out.

Between Fitz and Kolb, will they even have money to pay the rest of the 53-man roster? Wow.....

A buddy of mine I went to high school with works for Nike and is one of the lead designers for the Pro Combat series that teams have been wearing the last couple years. Teams announced for 2011 are: Army, Navy, Michigan State, Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, Stanford, Oregon. Here's a sneak peak at what Georgia's will look like:
The white helmets are pretty sweet.

Snookie, J-Woww, all the Kardashians, Paris Hilton, the cast of the Hills, and every no-talent cum bucket fucking waste of space MTV-created "faux" celebrity needs to die in a grease fire.

That is a COMPLETE lie. These comments have been all over Twin Cities media outlets and many sources have said the Vikings offered him a deal around $15M. Why would you pay a guy who's never healthy $41M to play WR with Tarvaris fucking Jackson?
Enjoy Jackson & Rice because we sure do love Hutchinson. :beerchug2:

I completely agree with everything in this post, but do you think the NCAA is gonna have the balls to give Miami the death penalty?
Probably not, but I bet they come real, real close. A bowl ban that lasts anywhere from 3-5 years....50-60 scholarships lost...and the residual effects will last for many years beyond that. Miami will soon be the team we see playing on ESPN-2 on a Tuesday Night vs Florida International.
For all the "swagger" they like to boast about, the team is pretty irrelevant. Unless FSU or Va Tech is playing them, there's usually more people on the sidelines of a Miami game then there are in the stands. It seriously might be another 15-20 years before we see Miami even as a Top 25 program again.

Show me another school in the last 30 years that has even been accused of anything close to this. Miami has trumped every NCAA investigation combined just with this Yahoo piece. The only thing you can even compare it to is SMU. USC/Reggie Bush or Auburn/Cam Newton isn't even a drop in the cheating bucket when compared to all this.
And, yes....probably 95% of programs are involved in some form of cheating or bending of the rules. But no institution flaunts it and flat out celebrates it like Miami does, and HAS for over 25 years. This is all part of the fucking moronic U "swagger." USC, Ohio State, Auburn, FSU....they all at least try and hide it. Miami puts it right out there in front of God and everybody to see and they don't give a fuck. That alone is why the NCAA is going to put on the sandpaper condom and bend them over.
I think it says a lot when Vilma and Antrelle Rolle don't even try and deny anything, they just say it's "not relevant right now.' What the fuck does that even mean? I've heard of a non-denial denial before, but this is just.....dumb. There's probably nothing in the world sports MORE relevant....RIGHT NOW....then this story and their names in it.

out of all the members here your pretty much the only one who acts like some 16 year old stuck up bitch when someone has a different opinion than yours.
That's pretty much the biggest crock of fucking shit ever printed on this site. It's time for you to hop off my nuts, son.

So let me get this straight...you found my Facebook page (congrats, Kojak) took a head shot of me and Photoshop it and claim some kind of victory?
First of all, how do you make all these assumption based on my appearance? Especially when I'm all you you, Zack especially, probably make Brad Pitt puke with jealousy over how sexy you are.
- There's nothing on my page that indicates anything about my profession. So if you wanna make some fucking stupid claims based on what? Me looking younger than 33? Wearing glasses? OK. Have it it. Have a good laugh. The fuck do I care.
- And lastly, what's this even about? I mean for fucking real. You just wake up one day and decide that you just HAD to look for ME on Facebook and make a giant deal about....what, exactly? You're life suck that bad you decided to go through the effort to search for me on Facebook? My settings aren't private, fuckwad, because I don't give a shit. I have nothing to hide.
So congrats to you for whatever the blue fuck you wanted to accomplish with this. I don't have to defend myself for anything. In fact, tell ya what boys. Wanna know about me? Feel free to call the Framingham Police Department. Officer Stoesz. Badge #3767. You wanna know so fucking bad, give them a call. Or, you can lulz at Zack and his pathetic no-life ass and his photoshop skills.
I've seen some pretty pathetic shit on this site, but this sets the bar impossibly high. What possess somebody to hate-stalk somebody off a fucking FOOTBALL FORUM other than being the epitome of a pathetic loser? Last I checked this was a place we can all come to talk football. Yeah, we get on each others nerves and call each other names and shit, but seriously? I hate some of you and some of you obviously hate me, but I tend to believe that shit stays on the forum and nobody is obessing about anyone else here when they leave the site. Clearly, I was wrong on one account. I haven't been here in about two weeks and Zacky boy just wakes up one day and decides "I hate that Jason guy so much I need to scour the Internets and find him and then paste his head on a picture so that people at TGP with share some lol's with me."
*slow clap* Bravo, sir. You obviously feel tremendously pleased with yourself. But like I said....think I'm not a cop? Here ya go. Call and see for yourself.Officer Jason Stoesz. Badge #3767. Or laugh it up with Zack. I don't give a shit which. Feel free to drop by my Facebook page too, if you're so inclined. See what shocking details Zack has conjured up with his online sleuthing that I tried so hard to hide.
BTW...I was a security guard. I have no shame in that. Made some decent money and made some friends and contacts in important places which eventually helped me become a police officer. So laugh at that too, if you want.
See ya,
FSUViking/FSUPatriot/ Jason Stoesz.....whatever you want to call me.
