Avatar Change...

[WildBill]

I used to have an avatar that I found humorous. It was Obama's face with a "665" on his forehead. I received one complaint, but that's not why I'm changing...

I never liked that avatar. I never complained, but I am glad you changed. I got tired of seeing that sorry face. At least it was better than the joker face.

Ha. Sorry. I hate the face too, but the number/joke cracked me up... then, I just got too lazy to change it.

I'll be in College Station on Sep 8th for the Florida game. First SEC home game...can't miss it!

I would like to see a TexasCHLforum.com flag waving on College Gameday. Its a good idea compared to some on texags.com right now.

Nice one...NFL sure to be a lot more entertaining with RG3 running around...

Exactly... I'm a huge Redskins fan now. Love RG3... hate Jerry Jones. That makes for a great combination.

Season starts this week!

Texas A&M is scheduled to play AT La. Tech on Thursday night.

Could be a wet game.

I've never understood that mind set. I had a lady tell me that about a year or so ago. I told her I don't cheer for the owner, I cheer for the team. I'm not a huge Jerry Jones fan, but I AM a Cowboys fan, and have been since I was 6. Through thick and thin, the Super Bowl-less 80's, the 3 championship 90's, and even now. I love and appreciate the history of the team.

I can't be a fan of a team for just one player, either. RG3 was a phenomenal QB. I hope he does well (just not TOO well...). I am a Texas Tech fan, but I can't be either a Patriots fan (Wes Welker) or Rams fan (Danny Amendola) just because they have a player or two from the college I like on them.

Yeah, I understand.
My thing is this: I spent a lot of time, effort, and money at Baylor. I still contribute a bit with graduate events and programs as well as helping to mentor, council, and sometimes hire undergrads today. It's become a big part of me and my life. As a result, I'm much more interested in how Baylor performs than any professional team of any league.

As for the NFL, I only live in a city with a NFL football team. There's no real tie. I've always been a Broncos fan because I lived in Denver as a kid, but that's it. I still like the Broncos a lot, but care less about the Broncos than I do of individuals who mean something to me, like RG3. FWIW, I got to know his parents as well over the years at our tailgate, so I don't know Robert at all, but I somewhat know them, and that adds to the reason I want him to succeed.

Now that Kendall Wright, another awesome athlete from Baylor, is on the Titans, I'll even pull for them. And this is from an old Oilers guy! As long as Kendall is playing and contributing heavily, I'll pull for them. (I won't root for Washington if Robert isn't the starting QB, but if he is, they're my team).

That's kind of a rambling way of explaining myself, so hope it's understandable. :)

Maybe you should rename this the "college football season" thread.


On that note, just found out that A&Ms season opener against La Tech has been posponed to Oct 13th because of Issac.

Now we get to jump into the season with a conference game, an untested QB and a new offense. Hooray!

To make things worse, that bye week before playing LSU, Auburn, Miss St and Bama in a row would have been nice midseason. Oh well.

Ouch... that's brutal. What a bad break. So the opener is Florida at home? Yikes.
Florida isn't awesome this year, but they're definitely good, and as you said... you guys have a new Coach, QB, and of course, conference!



We get the Ponies at home. SMU is no push over this year. It should be a difficult test. Not like opening with TCU last year, but tough none-the-less.

Yep, opening up with Florida at Kyle. At least its at home, but still.....

We play SMU the week after Florida (9-15) so I might watch that Baylor SMU game if its on TV. Its not like I have Aggie football to watch this weekend....


Edit: To make that run even more fun, the only home game of that stretch is LSU. The rest are all away games.

It's on TV Sunday night. It should be interesting. We are obviously going to see a drop off without Kendall Wright and Robert Griffin, but how much is the question. Our OL, TE, RB, and the remaining WR's are amazing. But can our new QB, Florence, get them the ball?

Why don't y'all just kick the season off right and catch the Marshall University Thundering Herd (my parents' alma mater) vs the Mountaineers of WVU Saturday morning...
