stevasaurus 22,229 #377 Posted October 27, 2015 That's why you are always pictured at a Bus Stop. Does the remote have batteries in it?? Does it just control the garage door?? Does it shock the dog collar you have on??? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrly1 1,146 #381 Posted October 28, 2015 Breaking news: It looks like Jerry Kill from Minnesota is retiring for health reasons. I actually thought he was a pretty good coach as I had seen him priar to Minnesota as he coached N. Illinois. He's a pretty cool dude as he got into the dancing with the guys after victories which is something those kids will remember forever 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #384 Posted October 30, 2015 Breaking news: It looks like Jerry Kill from Minnesota is retiring for health reasons. I actually thought he was a pretty good coach as I had seen him priar to Minnesota as he coached N. Illinois. He's a pretty cool dude as he got into the dancing with the guys after victories which is something those kids will remember forever This was sad to watch. I watched it live while I was in Buffalo.... Was hard to not cry for the guy. You could feel that he wanted to still coach, but whatever health condition he has, is draining him of his focus on the team. You could sense the love he has for the kids and the team. It was humbling to watch. Several time throughout the broadcast he had to stop because of his emotions. It makes one realize that we are all the same, we put our pants on the same, one leg at a time. We all stand up the same way, we all eat the same way, we all have the same body functions that need to be dealt with daily. Sometimes we imagine these guys and gals are superhuman, but they are not, they are just like you and I. I get the privilege to stand beside some of the most prominent government officials. Some of the top sports players. Some of the most influential speakers of our time. ALL of them have stories that let me know they are just like me. The only difference is they were in the right place at the right time that helped them with their career. That and a passion to never quit.RMC 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMCIII 838 #385 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) This is RCIII reporting in for this weeks game picks. Believe it or not we have some real nail biters this week. Illinois has been as unpredictable as an October Hurricane in the Pacific. The largest loss came from UNC, after losing that game they went to beat Nebraska, they barley lost to Iowa and it took Wisconsin all 4 quarters to finally put them away. With back to back loses, I look for Illinois to really bring their best going into Penn. State Stadium. Another game to watch will be Michigan at Minnesota. Let's face it, Michigan has been hot! They barley lost to Michigan St. The team with it's new head coach has been the team to watch this season. But with the Wednesday announcement of Minnesota head coach giving up his coaching position because of health reasons, Minnesota will be playing on all heart this game. Could a Gopher actually take down a Wolverine? If ever there was a time that it would be possible, this would be, that time. Finally ND faces the Owls..... The Owls have not had a 7-0 start in DECADES! They managed to crush Penn State with their home opener this season and have not looked back since. They did have a close call with UMASS, but managed to escape that game still with a win, since then they have been on a mission!So for my picks this week:Illinois, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan(but this is going to be close), and finally the Owls!This is RCIII out!

RMCIII 838 #389 Posted October 31, 2015 WOW, I had Illinois completely wrong. They got stomped, and what about Perdue handing Nebraska a good ole fashioned beat down! I wonder, will a Gopher take down a Wolverine? With the way I lined them up this week, the probability is good! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #393 Posted November 1, 2015 Well, as I said, nail biters! ND and Michigan had all the game they could handle. Those were the 2 closest games I have seen for these 2 teams, to walk away with the win. As I have always said, a win is still a win, in my book. But by NCAA rules there were no "style points" awarded for the winning teams this week! As far as that goes, the style points, in my opinion, would go to Minnesota and Owls! I did gamble this week on a couple of the games! 1 I could not be more disappointed with, the other 2 could have went either way. But in the end, it is always who is ahead at the end of the 4th quarter. But if you are a true sports fan, and 1 that roots for good plays on either side of the ball, you find yourself rooting for both teams in a well fought battle. I know I was on the edge of my couch cheering for both Michigan and Minnesota! Minnesota came so close with the upset, and Michigan used everything they had in their bag of tricks, to edge out the Gophers. In my opinion the Michigan - Minnesota games, was truly the game of the week to watch. Hats off to both teams for what was truly a great football game. 1 team playing for memory, the other team playing for another win. It doesn't get any better than that!RCIII 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,256 #394 Posted November 1, 2015 Yupper dupper, some tense moments here as I'm sure there was in Niles. I gotta give Temple credit. It wasn't a fluke that they could have won. They are a well disciplined, well coached and fast team. They may not have the individual talent that the 'bigger' teams have but they more than make up for it in determination. The Gophers? Well, in reality they didn't stand a chance on that last play. Harbaugh simply told the defense that Duke would be the defensive coordinator for a week if they let them score. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Bob Happy Holloween! By the way, If that's what he said its OK by me! Hat's off too them, they just played their best game of the year. Michigan was still DRUNK over that fluke loss to MSU. Like I said they are playing the best football they have played in 7 years. Take away that Fluke play To MSU, and a couple stupid turnovers by Jake Ruddock at Utah and we are a 8-0 Team. We have a Stable full of QB's when we loose Ruddock next year we have one waiting in the WINGS that has to sit out a year on a transfer from Huston His name is John "O" Korn He began as the starting quarterback for Houston during the 2013 season as a true freshman after teammate David Piland suffered career-ending injuries.[2] After throwing 3,117 yards and 28 touchdowns as a freshman. No doubt sitting out this year and learning the system under Jim Harbaugh he will perform even better for us. And we have some STUDS being recruited the writings ON THE WALL "GO BLUE" Edited November 1, 2015 by HorseFixer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #397 Posted November 1, 2015 Man, for someone who typed a lot of hype, I sure did not perform with those picks! Brrr. I could just say that I made some bad choices, but in reality, I was pretty close on some of the predictions. In my honest opinion, I would rater go down with odds against me, than odds for me! Someone from the Air Force once taught me that. Never go into a battle that you are favored! Always pick the ones that have the odds stacked against you. In those battles it is when people see your true desire and perseverance to overcome ALL ODDS that are against you! I went down this week without a doubt. I also took a couple chances that may have turned around in my favor. Isn't that what life is supposed to be about? Forget about football for a minute. Are we always supposed to walk the easy path or are we supposed to take chances and challenge ourselves? I LOVE sports. I truly do. There is noting I love more than a well played game on both sides of the line. I also love challenges in life and taking chances. Closing thoughts. If you always pick what teams that have the clear advantage, you will never experience the meaning of a true victory.RCIII out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #399 Posted November 2, 2015 If you want the honest answer Duke, the path less traveled will always bring about more fruit. Meaning you will appreciate the tractor the most that you poured your labor into. That doesn't mean you don't or won't appreciate the cherry one that all you did was put down the money. But it has been proven time and time again the things you work for are the things you most sppreciate. Choice is yours but the real question would be, "what will I get from this, or what can I learn"? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
