It looks like Jerry is smoking a cigar in that pic.

lol...it sure does.

Some pretty good eats on campus I guess, to go from 230 to 290 while working out all the time.

It's cold up there. He needed some insulation.

Man... I was hoping for another Jared Lorenzen type QB this year.

I was hoping to be able to continue the aggy joke series. They just can't help themselves, its inbred:

LOL!

JRM doesn't let a little thing such as international travel get in the way of aggie-bashing. He posted that in the Ice Haus yesterday while his plane was delayed boarding.

And the only CFB thread we get for the day is about a chunky converted-QB TE for Minnesota?


Good Lord, I hate the offseason. :-(

The rationalization of the mistake at the end is pretty funny.remember this is the school that had students using the Chilean flag instead of the Texas flag at football games.

Yeah, they say they are national fodder now that they're in sec.

Sorry to break the news, the national fodder has been around for decades. I guess when people would say, "ya wanna hear an aggie joke" they had no idea it was about them and not Utah State.

Yeah, I mentioned last night, there should be a topic about the redheaded stepchildren day of failures. It was the trifecta with Dorrell's resignation, Gilbert's arrest and aggy T-shirts.

One more biscuit from a OT position!

I know. And he was halfway decent too. I saw him holding a clipboard on the Giants sidelines for a number of years.

Luv the article by Schoeder, excerpts:


To understand the Fall of Bobby Petrino -- which is just another laugh-while-they-cry episode in the swirling soap opera that is Arkansas football -- we need to start with the bigger picture, in another era, when the Hogs' last, best chance for ultimate glory was ripped cruelly away.

In a time with a new, Armageddon-arrives theme for each and every week of the football season, it's hard to explain just how big the Big Shootout actually was on Dec. 6, 1969. It was made-for-TV when there was very little college football on TV. It was unbeaten No. 1 vs. unbeaten No. 2 in the last game of the regular season. The president flew in to Fayetteville to watch. A future president was there with him. Billy Graham showed up and gave the invocation. As the nation watched on ABC, the Longhorns pulled off an amazing fourth-quarter comeback.

Texas 15, Arkansas 14 left an indelible scar on the psyche of an entire state. Arkansans have been waiting for anvils to drop from the sky ever since. And sure enough, they keep falling. It's enough to drive anyone mad.

But since that loss to Texas in 1969, the never-ending story has been falling short. And when they've gotten close, falling hard.

The root cause of the continuing chaos was not the Big Shootout. According to Broyles, that terrible loss might simply have been the first byproduct of a very unfortunate incident. That morning before the game, Graham, the famed evangelist, had brunch at Broyles' home in Fayetteville. Though the coach wasn't there -- he was with the team -- by all accounts it was a pleasant visit. Except for one thing.

"Our dog," Broyles told me a few years ago, "bit his son."
Ned Graham, Billy's 11-year-old son, was nipped by Lady, the Broyles' usually gentle German shepherd. The injury wasn't serious. There's no indication the evangelist was insulted. But Broyles was mortified.

"That's why we lost," he said.
