First off Bill .... MOO

It is hardly the past when it was the last game the two teams played against each other. I mean I could bring in the countless times the Titans have swept the cows in a season. Or the fact that only one season could you manage to pull in a win again us .... but I didn't .... I stated that Young did not need to communicate very much to leave the cows out to pasture.

I would figure will all the nifty pickups the moos made this offseason that you would expect more then 5 win. There is no way the Titans finish below the cows this season.

MOO?? I knew people in Cali were quite articulate.

Very short response needed here: Last year is last year... You can't qualify the past...

Again, the Texans improved the team. The Titans got worse - well right up until the signed Eric Moulds Which of course was out of desperation....

I suppose The Greatness follows team rules like he follows the team's playbook, 'eh?

"Don't need no stinkin' rules!!"

His "huge" rule violation was wanting to sleep in his own bed the night before a game. He took full responsibility for it but did not articulate that very well. He started off his statement with you break the rule you pay the consequences.

Correction: the Texans swept in the Titans in 2004...not that I'm living in the past or anything.

It does not matter if it is a huge rule or a small rule, it is a rule and along with missing the teams charter last year he is setting up presidence of him acting like he is better than the rules.

Does he ever articulate anything very well?

Yeah... This constitutes taking responsibility:

"If I did, I apologize to my teammates, coaches, fans, to everybody. To me, I really feel like I'm not a bad guy, but I made a bad decision to try to go home and get some rest in my own bed and should've told coach. But I didn't. That's the consequences," Young said.

I used to think that it worked for me in the fifth grade..

I was making sure you could comprehend my post ...



Improving a team at the level the Texans were at last season is not saying much. Moving the garbage to the recycler is only changing the color of the can.

What is funny is Molds will produce more then the washed geezer you guy picked up in what was not "desperation".

You should re-read what I posted. There was no correction needed. If so please name a season other then 04 that the Moos beat the Titans.

I was unaware of the game of football coming down to a battle of words on the field. An unscripted interview after a game that is just a group of random questions hardly puts a person in a position to speak thier best.

I agree a rule is a rule, Vince seem to agree with that since it is almost a direct quote from the first line on the interview. You making an argument from nothing really here. Though I do agree that when this is added to the Nickey incident and the thing from last year it could be a spark of a head swelling and like a good coach Fisher put his boot in it. No other player was suspended for the incident but several were guilty. He learned a lesson in leadership here. Sometime you have to take the punishment for all the wrongs of a group because you are a leader. The only thing I see here is a 24 year old coming into his own and needing to be better about what he says to the media.

I read it quite well:

You said "a win", when in fact it was multiple wins.

hey look, these are our crumbs, so get it right! We don't have much to hang our hats on around here, so...uh...yeah.

The Skins played horribly the other night and...


won...

If you believe that's what he did, I have a bridge to sell ya.

That line was used for the media.

Get real! "Oh, I wanted to sleep at home with ma and pa and I got into trouble for it" Pfft! Whatever floats yer boat.

lol "a win" when put in the context of the sentence does not suggest that you could not have won other games during that season just that in only one season did you manage to put any wins up against us.

I specifically phrased my comment to not make mention of the sweep at all. I thought it would add some salt.

They did not score until 1:42 left in the game and is was on our 3rd stringers. Notice there first team could not put up points on our first team D?

So if in the end the Titans only play there backups for the entire season we will probably have some issues ....

I can't find it on the Tacks website.. but was Pac-Thug ever benched by the Titans for violating a team rule?

And I would have had a van like this.

Thanks for the PM to show me this Elle.

And Mr. White, you were right, I do believe the chicks were hotter back then.

The Dark Side of the Moon album was made the year I graduated from high school. I've had at least 3 record albums of it, an 8 track tape of it, (remember those?) a cassette of it, a CD, and a DVD. It still sells as of this day. It seems like the happiest, and saddest, and most memorable moments of my life occurred when it was playing in the background.

Van shows were a popular event back in the 60s and 70s. I didn't think I ever went to one without seeing a Floyd van of one type or another. I never had one back then, but if I did, it more than likely would have ended up black with a pyramid prism. And FYI, that van in the link was actually photographed by drummer Nick Mason himself during a concert, so yeah, it did make an impression.

As for my avatar, I like it because it shows everyone who my favorite band is. My long time friends from high school and the Navy see it, and they go "Of course, that's who you are." There have been times where I've thought about changing the avatar to the 20th or the 30th anniversary versions of it, (it shows them in the Wikipedia link) but I still like the original, and I don't think I'll ever change it.

He was benched for the away game against the Jags last season. Reason misdemeanor charges of spitting in a womans face in a nightclub.

The case was eventually dismissed & Jones was exonerated.The judge decided that woman in question was trying to get money ($50,000) from Jones.

Were you at the Pink Floyd concert at Jeppensen/Robertson Stadium back in 1977?
