  2. Well the game is on ESPN. Perhaps they have satellite on the ship. Blah!!!

    But as long as the Gators take care of business, I can watch it on DVR and be just fine.

  4. On the same line of the band playing Paul Simon's "You can call me Al."

    There is a song by Jim Croce from the late 60s or early 70s that you have had to have heard at one time called "You Don't Mess Around With Jim." The chorus goes:
    ___
    And they say you don't tug on Superman's cape
    You don't spit into the wind
    You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
    And you don't mess around with Jim
    ___

    Riding the Tebow train and his superman references, it'd be cool to hear the band play this song and instead of Jim, just say Tim.
    (Call me a nerd if you want, but it'd be sweet.) You make a sign that says "And You Don't Mess Around With Tim.", you will get on TV.

    ___

    Unfortunately cuts off when he says "Jim."

    Short cut of song

    JIM CROCE

    Uptown got its hustlers
    The bowery got its bums
    Forty Second Street got Big Jim Walker
    He a pool shootin' son of a gun
    Yeah he big and dumb as a man can come
    But he's stronger than a country hoss
    And when the bad folks all get together at night
    You know they all call Big Jim boss, just because

    And they say you don't tug on Superman's cape
    You don't spit into the wind
    You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
    And you don't mess around with Jim

    Well outa South Alabama come a country boy
    He said I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
    I am a pool shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy
    But down home they call me Slim
    Yeah I'm lookin' for the king of Forty Second Street
    He drive an old drop-top Cadillac
    And last week he took all my money, and it may sound funny
    But I've come to get my money back
    And everybody say Jack, ooh don't you know

    That you don't tug on Superman's cape
    You don't spit into the wind
    You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
    And you don't mess around with Jim

    Well a hush fell over the pool room
    And Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
    And when the cuttin' was done
    The only part that wasn't bloody was the soles of
    The big man's feet, woah
    Yeah he were cut in 'bout a hundred places
    And he was shot in a couple more
    And you better believe they sung a different kind of story
    When a Big Jim hit the floor, aw

    Now they say you don't tug on Superman's cape
    You don't spit into the wind
    You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
    And you don't mess around with Slim

    (Spoken)
    Yeah Big Jim got his hat, find out where it's at
    And it's not hustling people strange to you
    Even if do got a two piece custom made pool cue...yea

    Now they say you don't tug on Superman's cape
    You don't spit into the wind
    You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
    And you don't mess around with Slim.

  6. Desmond Howard is such a terrible broadcaster and I can eat my weight in Godfathers Pizza.

  7. Actually I thought he did well during this past year's bowl games. He seemed well spoken and made pretty good points. Something happened to him this year and he can't talk. Maybe Appy State got him! Just like that last prank about all the little creatures that multiply when you throw water on them.

  8. He must be sponsored by the words "like" and "you know." He's making booku bucks off that.

  9. Props to the hidden Gremlins reference and shame on me for having to make a second post showing I acknowlege.

    Flippin Mogwais.

  10. Actually it is a Goonies reference. Tim Tebow was not yet born when The Goonies came out. Doh.

  11. Actually it's a gremlins reference that was made in the Goonies.

  12. LOL from a poster on CNNSI:

    "My dad is a subway alum from New York. I was raised on Notre Dame. Here's a question: Why should I be a fan anymore? I have spent countless dollars on tickets and memorabilia. I am hated by friends and co-workers. I consistently expect national championships but clearly couldn't expect that at a Division II level. I DON'T KNOW WHY I CARE ANYMORE. My life has been made worse by this team -- people like me less, I feel completely empty inside every fall, I waste hard earned money. If I was a fan of Star Wars I would also be ridiculed by many but at least I know how that ends. This is a never-ending torment."
