Rebel!

I had no idea that you were an admin; I followed one of your smileys over here.  Here I am trying to find my way around and you've already started a thread with my name.  Thank you for the welcome.

Let nothing frighten you.

God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.

God alone suffices.

Just out of curiosity, not unkindly meant, that's up in Minneapolis to be a fan of?

Hehehe!

Rock on Tigers! :-)

I was born and raised in Memphis (and MS) and went to "Tigher High" back when it was still called MSU. I must admit to not following U of M like I should though.

Welcome and enjoy CC!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I knew that, but I like to twit.

Actually, my bete noire are those college football fans who steal "USC" from Southern California and "OSU" from Oklahoma State, erroneously thinking those acronyms aren't in use already.  And the people from Tennessee who swipe "UT" from Texas.

edited to italicize "bete noire;" sorry about that.

Welcome!

You are pretty much speech free here -- even pissing off Reb only gets you chastisement (good thing, he is easy to piss off ;) )

Really, welcome :)

....and you thought wrong.

U-Texas, established 1883

U-Tennessee, established 1794

U-South Carolina, established 1801

U-Southern California, established 1880.

As you can see, TENNESSEE has Texas beat by 89 years, South Carolina has Southern California beat by 79 years.

I.E.!

UT = University of TENNESSEE

USC = University of SOUTH CAROLINA

GO SEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you certainly can join the MSM in favoring the South and the East in its coverage.  To get more than page 4 in sports coverage, a West team needs to not only beat a team from those gawdforsaken places, but needs to win by +21

You are out of your f'n mind and SERIOUSLY projecting, DUmmie-style. MSM favors the south? Are you f'n kidding me? Are you REALLY a sports fan? The MSM is in LOVE with the Big 10 and PAC-10. UGA is ranked, per Sagarin's Strength of Schedule, as #16. If you look at their schedule, you'll KNOW that's a buncha bullshit.

The SEC gets DOGGED on by the MSM. It's why we're stuck in NC's with such weakass teams.

Get ****ing real, Freedumb.  :whatever:

Give me a ****ing break!  ALL the national sports press is weighted south and east.  They opine about Southern Slackjaw U  more often than anyone in the West other than USC or maybe, in a good year, UCLA.  The other 3,000+ colleges and universities in so cal, much less the rest of the west, get ignored.

You can pretend to be hillary and say the MSM is ignoring you, but it just ain't true.

I'm not SAYING they're ignoring us. I'm saying they TRY to marginalize us. Hell, they CAN'T ignore us when a southern D-II team goes INTO the Big House and defeats a D-1A Michigan.

The MSM is NO fan of the SEC. They ALL kiss the ass of the Big-11 and PAC-10.

The other 3000 colleges in the state of California are of no concern to me. How many have D-1A football teams? Not that many? Yeah, what I thought.  :whatever:
