Pre-Season Football Top 25 for 2008

We didn't make it, but the Evil Empire in Austin did. How can that be? :(

Maybe because their recruiting class is consistently top 5??

Wow, that guy really went out on a limb and picked a top 10 almost identical to the teams that finished in the top 10 this year--with a very predictable addition of Florida (and Penn State at 11.)

Why is it that everyone always thinks Penn State is going to be so good? They have had just as many losing seasons this century as winning seasons, with only one that they lost less than 4 games--and they play in the Big 10! Those guys need to force Joe Pa out and bring in Schiano.


......Although, BYU, Fresno, and Pitt were interesting additions (this guy obviously has some more faith in Wannstadt than he should.)

Kind of makes me think he might have grown up in Pennsylvania??????

And not many Top 5 finishes to show for it. They did win a national championship after 35 years, but with that talent they should be doing much better year-in and year-out.

Pitt? I guess they can do well in the Big Least next year, since the only other team in his rankings from that crappy conference is West Virginia. But still, it's Pitt!

It's because the pay scale for athletes at TU is much greater than SMU. We offer an education in addition to laundry money. TU offers only 'laundered money".

I guess out of the 10,000,000 students that have passed through TU/UT, it's inevitable that some of them stopped at SMU also.

I like how the guy on the far right, though actually pointing to something, the still picture makes it look like he's doing the hook 'em. Kinda' completes the picture for me.


Damn, why don't have a better name for our hand signal/sign thingy? Hook 'em vs. Pony ears... Tarnation!

"Get your pony ears up!!!"

Anybody got some better suggestion for our hand sign than "pony ears"???




Okay I'll start:

The 'Stanger





Huh, yeah? You like? I like.
