I am all for state's rights in this case. Let CA do what they want. Hell, it brings a smile to my face when I think about it. Regional pockets around the country where pot is legal. CA, MA, MI. What's wrong with that. If they allow it maybe more of the druggies will leave TX and never come back. At ...

Thank you! ;)

And Props to Suncoast for calling it.

Gas just may be the most taxed item in the world. The property owner pays taxes on his land, and if he doesn't also own the mineral rights someone else pays taxes on the mineral rights. These taxes go up when the drilling company puts in the improvements for the drill pad. The pipeline company is ta...

Left Seater

Yeah. Like I said it depends on your perspective.

Left Seater

not that we have much union news thankfully, since they are few and far between here in Texas, but the news lately has been great. The first story involved a local rock quarry that had union workers. A few months ago the workers striked over hourly pay and an extra week of vacation. The union though...

Not a big fan of the unis. Huge fan of the new QB coach.

Left Seater

BTH, I am certainly not a fan of the recruiting process or the LOI for that matter, but having signed one myself I know for a fact that as long as the athlete qualifies grade wise and doesn't go Randy Moss or Nebraska I back prior to matriculating then the school owes them one year. Now onto the LOI...

Left Seater

Just wanted to clear up one thing on the LOI. Once signed it does hold both parties to a few things. The signer can only practice his or her sport with the team he signed with. The school is obligated to give a scholly to the athlete for one year as long as the athlete meets both the school's and th...

Uh, Rog, check the 2002 and 2003 National champs.

Both Texas and RICE won those titles because of pitching and defense. I still think good pitching trumps good defense even with metal bats.

Left Seater

Caught the game and the catch and the replay on ESPN about 100 times.

That field is just like the Sand Aggies field, totally ugly!

Let's keep this to baseball. If you two feel the need to go at it take it to the main room. Otherwise beat each other up with baseball stats in here.

Left Seater

Hey, sorry to get in the middle of the Big XII love fest, but I am going to say Texas is the class of the Big XII despite their opening weekend.

Now you two shake and continue beating each other about the head.

Left Seater

Not often there is a difference of 12 spots between the rankings of one team, see RICE.

Left Seater

T Rex, if you were an athlete you would be a boxer, since you are still active but retired. :)

Left Seater

Props to Texas for again proving they are our daddy. We sure hurt ourselves with 4 errors, but Texas was pretty dominate. Granted the score was 7-6 but I really thought the umpire was jobing Texas. I can count at least three times that RICE watched strike three yet the umpire never called it. Hell, ...

The next Aaron Rodgers?

What gives you an indication that this guy will bitch and moan about the bowl he is playing in prior to laying an egg in his bowl game?

Left Seater

Not only these three, but 13 in a row now in Austin and 13 of 14 anywhere.

Watching the 3rd game right now on ESPN2. It has been quite some time since I have seen such a horrible game from the Sooners. Runner on third and Texas lays down a sac bunt. No throw to the plate, runner scores, which is fine, but they also didn't throw to first. WTF? That was preceded by a soft si...

Left Seater

Sorry now I get how I was unclear on what I meant for the SEC. They are going to have something, but I was saying they are unsure on which system.

Reviewing IM? What? What am I missing?

Just wanted to pass on some info regarding replay to you guys. The NCAA is allowing all Division 1 conferences to experiment with replay this season. Given the success in the Big 11 last year everyone is going to get a shot this season. Here are some of the stats for replay in the Big 11 last season...

Left Seater

You laid out the problem, so where is your suggestion to fix it? By NCAA rule teams are limited to playing 56 games in the regular season, but there is no official start date to the season. So yes, southern teams can start the season earlier because their fields are not under snow. The Big 11 seems ...

Left Seater

Some would say A&M got lucky with the rain. ;)

I think this is more common than you might think. I have seen it a few times in games on Sunday where the visitors have a plane to catch and so a rule is put in place saying a new inning can't start after X:00 o'clock.

Nice melt Babs. You are right those officials are a ton better than I am. I don't know 1/100th of what they know. Now that being said none of the officials called that shot a 2. The official to the shooters left raised his arm as the shot went up. That means he called it a 3 point shot. The official...

Left Seater

I speak to all of it. There are things like 5 seconds to inbound the ball, 10 seconds to get the ball in the front court, and 5 seconds of handling the ball when pressured that have become a lost part of most games.

Left Seater

Sticking with your Michigan v Northwestern example Jon. Guess which conferences I aspire to someday work in as a D-1 official? No it isn't the Big XII. Nope not the conf RICE happens to be in. It is the Big 11 or SEC. I want to work in those conferences because I am not really a fan of either. I hav...

Left Seater

Agreed. I just don't see many other sports where defense gives up so much ground so willingly, and yet when the contest it they tend to do well.

Left Seater

Give me one name in college football right now Jon or shut your hole. All I want is one example of a guy who passed on the exact same call that he called against an opponent.

Do that and I will send you some RICE gear.

Left Seater

Nope. On sundays I am watching all the college games that I used to tape and now TiVo. If I happen to make it thru the college games I may catch the Sunday night game, but not usually. But how in the hell can a 46 defense blitz their entire secondary? No way a LB can drop wide enough and deep enough...

Left Seater

On third and ten, teams typically don't blitz their entire secondary I don't think I have ever seen the entire secondary blitz. ;) I understand your points, but I think a better analogy for football is playing a prevent defense until your opponent reaches your 35 yard line. At that point you change...

Left Seater

No doubt Mucho. I am not saying that the official(s) cost anyone a game. They didn't make and take shots, nor did they miss free throws, etc. I am speaking to the fact that some think the official(s) saw the contact and passed on making the call only because it was late in the game.

Left Seater

I have heard the depth issue but it doesn't fly with me. That's like saying we don't defend the passing game well because we don't have fast corners. There were plenty of teams this weekend that went 10-12 deep and yet they only played defense on the whole court when the game was getting out of reac...

Left Seater

when everyone talks about defense in basketball they overlook the fact that 95% of teams only play defense on 30% of the court? I still fail to understand why teams willingly give up the majority of the court. And yet when they go to a full court defense they are often very successful. We wouldn't h...

I guess there is the difference between football and basketball. Football guys have made those calls, (OSU v Miami to name one) while basketball guys don't. Everyone seems to be happy with going to overtime in that game, but if a foul occured (which most seem to agree one did) and the official doesn...

Left Seater

It reminds me of the Texas-Kansas football game. The refs cost Kansas the game because they made a call that would NEVER be called against Texas. And that wasn't a foul on Miami against OSU in the title game either was it? :roll: Let those of us who know football officiating make the calls and you ...

Left Seater

Leave it to Babs to ignore the fact it was a foul and instead talk about the likelyhood of making the shot. Hey Babs, if dude never gets a chance to take the shot he has a 0% chance of making it. If he at least gets the chance there is always a chance it will go in. As for the replays of the contact...

Left Seater

For the record that was a foul on the final shot at the end of regulation.
