Football
Hey man...it happens to one (or more) of our teams every year. App St has taken down quite a few big name teams. They may not be Div IA, but thery're as good, if not better than alot of teams in IA.
Props to Blue for scheduling them in their non-conf schedule but it was lose-lose at best. If they beat App St, they were suppose to....if they lose, well....you know what happens then. We go through the same thing when we schedule Fresno St.... Uh oh....another turnover..... |

Well if either of my colleges had decent football programs, I'd be more excited this weekend. Now college hoop ... ODU and Kansas baby!!!!
Although my wife is USC/ASU. Her entire family is Pac 10 and half my son's wordrobe is KU, USC or ASU.  I could care less about the teams but I love Pac 10 tailgating!!!I read an article on why the Raiders might not even improve on their record from last year.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only fan from the mid-Atlantic. My Virginia Cavaliers have not done too much since Tiki Barber graduated, but I continue to bleed orange and blue. Otherwise, go ACC (except Duke).

I'm not invested in the little debate on avatars, etc... here, but I think the comment above regarding steroids is within bounds, given that that is how it was reported--at least as of 2 days ago. Below is from an article pulled from the dallas morning news on 9/1.
By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News tarcher@dallasnews.com Wilson acknowledged to NFL officials that he received prohibited substances, believed to be human growth hormone and steroids, while serving as Chicago's quarterbacks coach from 2004-06. And IMHO, just because someone says they took human growth hormone and/or steroids for health issues--does NOT mean they actually took human growth hormone and/or steroids for healthy issues. Curious how his comment gets accepted at face value and not questioned for how *questionable* (read medically ludicrous) it is--"my diabetes was out of control--so I took human growth hormone I got off the internet/from some quack MD." Ahhhhhhhh....now it all makes sense. Lots of older athletes, including those no longer playing, start/continue to take performance enhancing drugs to try to hold on to their youth, keep the pain of years of injuries away, etc........

Ill tell you the real eye opener was Mike Websters death, this guy was the iron man of the Steelers heyday and lived in a car and was homeless before he died. Steroids played a major part of his demise later in life,that's sad.

By MAC ENGEL Star-Telegram staff writer Special to the S-T Wade Wilson says he was taking a drug to combat the effects of diabetes. IRVING -- The Cowboys' first run-in with controversy this season involved one of the last people anybody would have expected. Quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson was suspended five regular-season games and fined $100,000 for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He will not be allowed to have any contact with the team until Oct. 9. Wilson, 48, said he was taking a drug, which he chose not to identify Saturday, to combat the effects of diabetes, which he's had for nearly 24 years. He said he began taking the drug last fall while he was the Bears' quarterbacks coach. "I'm kind of taken aback by the severity of the penalty," Wilson said. "I was taking what I thought was a legitimate product for legitimate reasons, and this came back to bite me, I guess." Wilson's suspension is the result of an investigation conducted by the Albany (N.Y.) County District Attorney's office of an Internet pharmaceutical distribution ring. Patriots safety Rodney Harrison also was connected to the investigation. According to a report in the New York Daily News, Wilson and Harrison admitted to receiving human growth hormone, which medical studies have shown can aid diabetics. On Saturday, Wilson would not confirm that he was taking HGH. "I purchased a banned substance. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it," said Wilson, who played for the Cowboys from 1995-97. He was the team's quarterbacks coach from 2000-02 and was the Bears' quarterbacks coach from 2004-06 before returning to the Cowboys under first-year coach Wade Phillips this spring. Although currently there is no reliable test for HGH, the NFL can suspend a player if it has been proven that he has taken or possessed a banned substance. Wilson said he never knew the drug he purchased was banned and that he bought the pills with his American Express card. "If I was trying to hide something, I wouldn't have put it on a credit card," Wilson said. "I had no idea this was illegal or against league policy.... I thought it was a legitimate place." Wilson was told his name turned up on a list in August, and he was called to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in New York on Aug. 17. He said he laid everything out to the commissioner. Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones informed Wilson on Friday night of the suspension and fine. "In reviewing the facts, we know that Wade had absolutely no intention of breaking any league rules," Jones said in a statement. In his place, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and offensive assistant Wes Phillips will coach the quarterbacks. "He did all the right things, in my opinion," Wade Phillips said. "What's happened has happened. I am just saying I support him." Wilson did not appeal the suspension. He said he did not regret what he did, but was embarrassed by the situation. "Certainly, I think coaches and people of authority are held in higher regard than players," Wilson said. "I would have hoped that, with my record in the NFL and no other blemishes on my record, that it might have been different. I did it. There's no question that I did that."

 You brought it on yourself, and I don't call calling me a bandwagon fan, and talking ill informed smack about my team, is being polite or respectful! That's news to me if you call what you said respectful! Just FYI, I posted the news story above with credentials, since I am not credible enough for you.
