Taters just don't listen.....

  • Virtually 95% of all posts on taternet.com for the last two weeks has been about them moving to the Big 12. Everybody has an inside source that says this or that. Everybody's an expert.
    .
    But, regardless of what the booger eaters think or say, the authorities in the ACC, climpsun, FSU, and the Big 12 all say that there has BEEN NO DISCUSSION between any of those different entities. Now the Chairman of the BOT at climpsun has come out and said the same thing, that there has been no discussion with the Big 12. http://www.tigernet.com/view/story.do?id=10623 In fact, they are meeting to confirm climpsun's "Seat at the ACC table."

    So what happens on taternet? The rumors die and they concede that there is no planned move? Nope, they now say that everybody is holding back the truth and are getting all the negotiating out of the way before they go public. How stupid can you get?

    I think it's turned into the gasping dieing last glimmer of hope for the taters to think they are not going to go down with that sinking ship that is ACC football. But everything is watching that tiny little drip of water that is filling the stern of that little dingie of a conference over the next decade until it's withered away and the remains lie on the bottom of the college football sea of big tv deals and 16 teams super-conferences.

    climpsun..., you better work on your basketball skills.

  • There have definitely been discussions. TCU's coach said as much earlier today.

  • Trying to understand them is like trying to reason with my dog. Sure, he just looks innocent enough, wagging his tail with that stupid look on his face. But I know he's trying to figure out how to pay me back for removing his testicles by digging holes all in my back yard.

    In their case, they're trying to pay us back by going to play with the big boys. They wanna take their ball and play somewhere else so they can compete with real teams. They don't understand that the varsity doesn't want their JV selves. So they delude themselves. In the end, though, no reason to try to understand: taters just gonna tate.

    That is an insult to your dog's intellect comparing him to taters. You owe him an apology, and a pair of neuticles

    Neuticles, BTW, are artificial testicle implants that rich people buy for their dogs. I guess they do this to spare them from ridicule, but, that is the sad truth-neuticles.

    Means absolutely zero. They talk through intermediaries so that they can say crap like this with a straight face.

    Yeah... my wife worked for a vet for a number of years prior to & for the first few years of our marriage. We've had discussions about getting some for me several times since she basically removed them in a non-surgical manner (figuratively speaking, of course)

    If I actually had a male dog, I would consider it. Just too good to pass up. There's a reason that I named the last male dog I had Imiss. It never made sense until you realize that I was one of those freaks who had a dog with three names like a person. His middle name was Myballs.

    The coolest part about all of that is that my wife actually thought it funny. She never concedes that I made a funny. But she went with that one. To the day he disappeared (possibly to be meat for the dog-fighting ring breeders), he was a cool dog who we all (my wife, two kids and me) called Imiss. I guess most people thought he was named after my father's favorite radio host, but I've never listened to Don Imus. In fact, is he still on the radio?

    Somebody smarter than me really needs to caption that pic. That kid looks like he's finally realizing that this ain't what he bargained for. That look on his price is faceless.shake

    The background said "Colorado State Fair" before I started the editing.

    Tell me a good caption and I'll add it. I thought the "Clemson Prom" logo in the back was adequate enough caption.

    I'm definitely not trying to criticize. The look on that kids face, though... it is deserving of a comment from someone far more creative than myself. Young abo there looks like he's just now realizing what he's gotten himself into. It is as if that goat has bided his time and the kid knows that revenge is coming, and it ain't gonna be pretty. Mamma's midnight cuddlin' just won't cure that.

    The Clemson Prom thing was a very nice touch, and the pic was a great find.

  • I imagine they are not listening to Paul Finebaum right now on WFNZ in charlotte. He is ripping them and the Acc apart.
