Half baked. Jim Breuer's character is either being fired or quitting, I don't recall, but he is imploring his coworkers "come on man, who's coming with me man". The thing doesn't work if you don't get the reference. Anniversaries are ok, but right now I don't think people want to highlight the anniversary of a loss. His slant always seems to be to work in a slight or two. We had a good turn out, we have a good team, and we want to keep rolling and getting people engaged. These "minor" negative mentions are placed as caveats to keep people on the fence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a year since we lost a football game. Hallelujah and can I get an AMEN! I don't believe someone as loquacious and "articulate" as Mr. Knight would do something like that, poorly phrase a compliment. As the heir to Chaucer we know he possesses more astute faculties than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong was asked the playoff question Tuesday, shortly after indicating he would match his 16th-ranked team with anyone in America. "Even when you look at the Group of Five, we feel like we can go in the Power Five and beat some of those teams," he said. "I don't know how many we could go beat, but at least we could go play with them. So you just don't ever want that separation there." WTF? Why would you give such a wimpy emasculated answer?! Makes our boys look like wussified puppies that can't run with the big dogs. What he should have said is, "We're just as good as they are, we'll play them any time, any where, and beat them. They're chickenshit for not scheduling us." Now, THAT would fire up our boys 5 hours ago, Triple B said: FLOWERS' FRUSTRATION: Those watching the Bulls' 33-3 romp Saturday of Cincinnati -- either in person or via ESPNU -- might have noticed QB Quinton Flowers betraying signs of frustration on a couple of occasions. Afterward, Flowers insisted he was frustrated at himself. On Tuesday, Strong said the same, indicating Flowers was angry over a couple of inacccurate throws toward 6-foot-5 senior Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and the failure to see slot WR Tyre McCants on an open seam route. This is total BS coach-speak Flowers was spinning his hand, clearly indicating that he was frustrated how slowly the calls were coming in from the sideline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spinning hand, though, was clearly frustration at the sideline--can't talk around that one, coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the spinning the hand mentioned in the question about Q's frustration ..... or did the cameras just catch him on the sideline in a less than jovial mood? It was while the team was on the field, and Q was looking at the sideline, with a very furstrated face. The spinning hand said, "Give me the **** play already." Happened several times.
