I think UT's traditional endzones date back to the early '60s and General Neyland actually had a version similar. Of course, they were changed in '68 when UT became the first college to install artificial turf. So I doubt Bamer had them before UT. Bamer is not exactly known for flashy anything especially when it comes to marketing. Yeah, those throw back helmets your guys still wear, yeah they really look sharp. How original.” 10:39:57 AM 4/21/04 “I've seen old TV footage that looked early '60's or even late 50's that show the checkerboard in our endzone. Def of a real program: one that doesn't HAVE to put it's name on the helment to be identifiable. See ND, Penn State, USC, Alabama, Michigan, and others.” 11:05:52 AM 4/21/04 “That's only because the lesser schools can't claim rights to the Power T.” 11:18:02 AM 4/21/04 “Wait a minute; about half of the NCAA helmets don't have a name on them. I seriously doubt the average American could identify a bammer helmet. It is not generic or unique enough to stand out (Penn State/Michigan, ND) from the 1000s of High Schools and a few other colleges across this nation who have the same helmet with variations only in the color or stripe.” 11:37:42 AM 4/21/04 “LMAO....I thought the name wasn't on Bama helmets because they couldn't read it anyway. :)” 11:41:18 AM 4/21/04 Can someone help with a trivia question “Here's a little NCAA trivia that a guy in the office asked the other day. Name all the NCAA mascots that are not plural. Example Volunteers, Tigers, Elephants = Plural (Note: Roll Tide is not a mascot)” 12:07:51 PM 4/21/04 Another rule “There is only like maybe 10 of them. Green Wave is one. But stuff like Smokey and War Eagle doesn't count because Vols and Tigers cancel them out.” 12:12:03 PM 4/21/04 “What's the history of the Tide mascot anyhow? How did they get an elephant and what the hells is a "Tide" anyhow?” 1:20:24 PM 4/21/04 “Trailhound, The only ones I can think of off hand are Harvard Crimson William and Mary Tribe (although this could be considered plural) Dartmouth Big Green (I think) Wheaton Thunder (several of my collegues went there) Cornell Big Red (I think)” 1:37:17 PM 4/21/04 “Stanford Cardinal Nigal, there is a lengthy explanation to that question. I'll see if I can dig it up. Granted, this was late 80's, but when my cousin was stationed in Germany they came across a poster advertising American Football. The picture on the poster was that of an Alabama football player. Unfortuneatly I have to say were, but for a long time we WERE the face of football. I would guess that the average American would recognize Alabama instantly. The average hs fan probably wouldn't. Hopefully, that can be changed.” 2:12:28 PM 4/21/04 “St. Johns Red Storm Fighting Irish” 2:16:07 PM 4/21/04 “Kansas Wimps...... Oh wait, there are more than one of them, so I guess that is plural too.” 3:32:38 PM 4/21/04 “You always find a way to drag me into this mess, don't you, Chil-meister? I'm reserving two words for you. The first begins with F.(LOL) Does Stanford Cardinal count?” 3:39:42 PM 4/21/04 “LOL, I knew I could get your attention.” 3:43:32 PM 4/21/04 “I thought Tennessee invented the internet, wait that was just Gore who LIVES in TN. Yall can have him.” 6:29:55 AM 4/22/04 “Gore attended Vanderbilt.” 7:37:47 AM 4/22/04 “LOL! Friendly jab post like this really remind me how much I miss football season. Just curious, does anyone know if Gore has ever lived for any length time within the state of TN? I think 99% of his life span has been spent in DC. I've heard many old-timers moan and groan that his physical connection with the state is limited to visits with grandparents.” 7:40:57 AM 4/22/04 “It's been a while, so bear with me here.......... MICHIGAN SUCKS! yeah, i still have it!” 7:42:35 AM 4/22/04 “Yall still claim him though. Actually, Bush carried TN in the last election.” 7:43:08 AM 4/22/04 “Since Buddha has been whining about politics I thought I should prepare the way for him with my last post. I now see he's come to his senses. Welcome home Mr. Luckeye” 7:44:05 AM 4/22/04 “Birmingham has a radio show hosted by Wimp Sanderson and Sonny Smith. Wimp is a former Alabama basketball coach and Sonny is a former Auburn b'ball coach. This morning they were talking about Clausen not getting drafted. Sonny was giving Wimp down the road about bashing Clausen. Wimp said he hadn't bashed them either and that he had a good football family, his little brother will be the QB at TN this year. Sonny replied, "He won't either, he couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie."” 9:22:53 AM 4/27/04 “They will still beat Bama, however.” 10:44:34 AM 4/27/04 “You're probably right. Note that the ex-Auburn coach made the statement. I love listening to those two on the radio. They're just a couple of good ole boys. Sonny actually grew up in Roan Mtn, TN.” 10:55:53 AM 4/27/04 “i think UGA will probably beat alabama too...and I F-ing hope they stomp U of FL ass finally too...IMO thats the only team that stood between them and the National Championship games for these past two years....but i dont even consider that a regular season game...its always flip flopped who will win that one...GA sucks and they win FL sucks and they win...although FL hasnt sucked much for a long long time...what was the STAT on theirbeing in the AP top 25 like every week since 1990 or something like that...hundreds anyway...not a bad run there...but i still like UGA cuz its my home team...GA tech just blows at sports...Reggie Ball is a damn fine Qb but hes got a bad temper for a little boy...” 5:34:16 PM 4/27/04 “GO BIG ORANGE!!!!” 8:11:17 AM 4/28/04 “Sonny and Steve both grew up in E. TN. I hear there are some places up there where neither are now welcome.” 8:14:15 AM 4/28/04 “Hey, I just saw where Fulmer is selling his ex-wife's wedding dress on ebay.” 8:57:39 AM 4/28/04 “I didn't know that Phat Phil had that many tatoos.” 9:07:57 AM 4/28/04 “When will the Bucks play Bama'? That will be worth a road trip from me or DH, no?” 11:48:44 AM 4/28/04 “Heck yeah it'll be worth a road trip. Bama is supposedly trying to put a home and home together with Penn State for later in the decade, not that it does us any good now. OSU and Bama in the Rose Bowl is say, 2 years. That'd be nice.” 11:52:11 AM 4/28/04 “first great receiver in NFL history This is an article on UA grad Don Hudson. He played in the 30's and 40's yet still holds receiving records. It took Jerry Rice to break his touchdown record. They obviously pass more now than they did then. It's a pretty good read regardless of college affiliation.” 11:31:46 AM 5/04/04 “Looks like Ohio State is going to have nearly as many of their players on probation and in jail as on the field. They just had there 13th and 14th players charged sense Tressle came to town to "clean up" the program. Good old Buckeye pride!” 11:41:26 AM 5/04/04 “Jerry (Big Dawg) Bogle died today. He's one of the two guys you see on TV at Bama games with the box of Tide detergent and the roll of toilet paper on a stick. Turns out these two guys have been doing this since the late 70's.” 4:56:42 PM 6/18/04 “Which one was he,,,the soap powder or the toilet paper?” 5:04:08 PM 6/18/04 “The red headed one is the one who is still living. Can't describe it better than that.” 5:24:38 PM 6/18/04 Did someone say "college football?" “I love college football! But who died? I don't know that guy. Got a link for a story on him?” 2:33:18 PM 6/21/04 “pixie - pretty much every Bama game televised in the last 15 years or so has shown two guys dressed up in Bama gear. Each of the has a big stick with a roll of toilet paper and a box of Tide washing powder. "Roll Tide"” 3:36:18 PM 6/21/04 “Nice to hear they finally found a use for TP down there in Bama. LOL!” 3:52:59 PM 6/21/04 “In Auburn they roll the trees after big wins against teams like U of Toledo and the like.” 3:54:52 PM 6/21/04 “At Ohio State they burn cars and joints. Yeah, they ain't the smartest bunch.” 3:58:29 PM 6/21/04 Go Bucks! “As an alumni of OSU (College of Medicine 2000) I take umbrage at that comment! After all, what about the fair number of couches that are set ablaze?” 5:40:29 PM 6/21/04 “Is that forcey as in forcep? Yall need to stick around for this thread come fall. We talk smack all season, well most of us do. The Ohio State fans sort of disappeared mid season. Anyway, we have a good time on this thread and then have a contest come bowl season. For some reason the SEC guys always win!” 5:43:46 PM 6/21/04 “The Bucks are ready for the 2004 season boys! Go Bucks! Roll Tide! This message was brought to you by the BuddhaBear-Dayhiker College Football Alliance. The Big 12 sucks. :)” 3:56:14 PM 7/20/04 “Bama and the Buckeyes deserve each other. They both are going to suck.” 3:58:13 PM 7/20/04 “OH, here we go! So soon fellas?” 4:02:56 PM 7/20/04 Ohio St. will win as many games this year as Ala “did, the last 2 years combined Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!!” 4:29:00 PM 7/20/04 “Cocoa comes out of nowhere to put in his 2 cents.” 4:59:33 PM 7/20/04 “Which is only three cents less than the Razorbacks manage to get in.” 5:01:08 PM 7/20/04 “By the way, has anyone heard about the Memphis Tigers yet? By all accounts, they will be better this year than they were last year (9-4).” 5:02:17 PM 7/20/04 “Your a funny guy Chili. Actually the Razorbacks lost 18 starters from last year. It could be ugly this year.” 5:08:42 PM 7/20/04 Jump to Page << prev
