Your "boy" never shed a tear?
Or you never did for your kids?
Perhaps you never had the chance to understand what such a very big game means to players, when they lose or win.
That's what I think this is all about, and that's my opinion.

No my "boy" never shed a tear--not on a ball field or basketball court

And no I never shed a tear for my kids---never had a reason to

I have more chances than you can imagine and that is what it is all about for me

You are entitled to your opinion

Your response was what I was expecting.

Don't let your stew get too cold.

You say people can't imagine about you, but you KNEW what the Tebows were thinking.

LOL.

TPM


Not to offend but I must bow to your superior mind and attitude-- you know I expected your response as well

The stew is hot and delicious--on my second bowl--nice hot pepppers on the side as I watch the Packers

BYW--you need to read my posts better--I will just leave it at that

What did I misunderstand in this post?

BOF, sorry I just hate it when someone claims to do so much for players then would make a statement like that. It makes no sense to me, no matter if you were in marketing or what you had for dinner two days in a row.

TR,
Who has a superior mind and attitude? I certainly can't read people's thoughts by a 10 second spot of the expresses on their faces.

TPM,

Just face it, some people in life have a very difficult time swallowing their pride and admitting when they are wrong...lol.

That, and some have ignorance to go along with it!

Bad double combination.

I have been wrong here and have apologized.
I don't like being accused of having a holier than though attitude, by the same person who thinks that he is better than anyone else here and can make such statments then goes after people for their statments and demands answers to his questions.
I wasn't the only one who took exception to some comments made about a (non professional) player and his family. That's not right.

Funny thing, though we have been told we have no clue about someone you do learn alot about people after reading their posts for 5-6 years.

If taking the current BCS system and applied it to basketball and baseball these teams would not have been there


Basketball

Memphis - runner up
Utah - runner up

Baseball

Rice - champ
Cal State Fullerton - champ

Yes it is a tired argument and that's what makes it even more appaling. The people, the majority of schools and the government want a playoff but yet....still can't get one. There is a problem here.

The playoff system could happen if the BCS people allowed it to---but they won't---it is just the way it is

Guess the kids wants to play the role of hero, seeing in today's society we are all are trying out for that role!

Saint Tebow ... save our franchise

After reading some message boards about the bowl games I can't help but laugh. We joke about being farm boys, but it's always interesting to be reminded what the perception is out there.

Anyway, thought I would add this.

Me n Ma can't wait to go south to watch our Hawkeyes play that technic school from Atlanta. I'm having the old John Deere tuned up for that long trip way down south. They are going to love us at that beach! All 50,000 of us. Heck if they had a playoff, maybe we could all head out to California or somewhere else next week. Shoot, we can't do anymore plowing around here now anyhow with all this snow everywhere. I think that global warming thing must be going on somewhere else.

Boise vs TCU... BCS deserves a spanking! What does that prove?

Exactly....even worse, they played each other last year in a bowl game.

Better yet --- who coaches Cincy or UCONN if their coach leaves for Notre Dame---ND is reportedly going to make a decision this weekend

The criticism I used to hear of Iowa fans in LA and San Diego is they come in droves but hit the free food at happy hours instead of spending money.

What a gig. Unrealistic expectations to turn it around and the QB is leaving town. Maybe next year will finally be the year Notre Dame isn't in the preseason Top Twenty.

Tebow has been a great college quarterback, 2 National Championship rings (AKA SEC Championship), a Heisman trophy and pretty good win loss record.
Will he make it in Pro-football, who knows.
We all know that there are late round draft picks that are projected to never make it and they contribute to their team, , there are 1rst round draft picks, that never contribute
But I do remember a tall slow center that played for Indiana State one year, people questioned whether he had the quickness or the defensive skill to play pro basketball, he did pretty good.

RJM,

You really get around, don't you? Free food would never get an Iowa fan excited. Now if you're talking "free booze", that's another thing.

Iowa fans don't get out to the Pasadena enough to even know what to complain about them...
