pokes!!

Hey sadlerdawg, what's your vote?

If he plans on \"stirring the pot\" for the next month, I vote no. That would fit in well at the dawgsden or whatever that site was. If we're talking good-natured discussions with no orange lettering, I could live with that.

bingo sadlerdawg

Lordy lordy folks, let the man root for his alma mater. It ain't like he's rooting specifically AGAINST Georgia. Plus, like my friend the Colorado fan was last year, he's already resigned to a Georgia victory. Unfortunately, also like the Colorado game last year, this one may end up being close.

This world is full of ridiculous optimism. There are still people who think that Santa Claus is coming, still people who think the Iraq war is going well, still Falcons fans who think Mike Vick is being unfairly targeted, etc. I think RxCowboy is simply full of this ridiculous optimism.

AND LET ME BE THE FIRST TO CRUSH IT!

Once again, 48-12, 48-12, 48-12. The age-old question of whether Herschel or Barry was the better college back will be resolved by two college teams playing without either player 20 years after either was even in college. Cowboys will cry, young women will give birth, and skydivers will shoot red clouds from their shoeheels. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will ride into the stadium under Sanford Bridge, and they will wear RED AND BLACK!!!

But yeah, RxCowboy...good luck on that game, there.

hey rxcowboy are you the same one that is on that site orangepower.com that was saying that tennesee has been better that us the past few years?

Let me answer several things...

1. It is my alma mater. I love Oklahoma State. Always have, always will. But I love UGA too. Y'all may not be real happy with me leading up to Sept 1, but y'all will love from Sept 2 on, I promise (at least until August of 2009, anyway).

2. If UGA holds OSU's offense to 12 points then the Dawgs very well could make the BCS championship. As for putting up 48 on the Pokes, could happen. Our D just plain sucked last year. We hope it's better, but we'll see.

3. I'm RxCowboy on Orangepower.com and several other Oklahoma State and UGA fan chat sites (although Orangepower.com and this one are my faves, and I don't frequent the others much). However, if you think *I* was saying that FatPhil and the Tenn Losunteers were better than the Mighty Bulldogs, man, you weren't reading very closely. In fact, over the past couple of months I've spent a WHOLE BUNCH of time an energy correcting Cowboys fans who have no idea what it means to be playing Between the Hedges, or football in the Southeast in general (e.g. \"We're going to spank Georgia, but Troy is a trap game\" Idjits! If you're worried about Troy you have no business playing Between the Hedges in the first place, much less thinking you can win there). In fact, I've been so vociferous for the Dawgs people have asked me what color I was going to wear to the game (for the record, orange shirt, red hat).

4. I humbly apologize if my comments on Boise State offended anyone. That was about the fourth time I had countered that argument THAT DAY, and was a little testy over it. Think about it now, it is a little absurd to base your prediction on what is going to happen this year on what happened two years ago, with two different teams. Most of the Dawg's offense has turned over since then, and I don't think there is a single defensive player left from 2005. There sure isn't anyone on Oklahoma State's squad who played in that game. It would be just as absurd for Oklahoma State fans to predict based on what happened the last time we opened on the road against highly ranked teams, beating both Washington (#1 in some polls) and Arizona State - or what happened last time we played an SEC team, beating Bama. Bama ain't lining up on Sept. 1.

5. I think the Dawgs will win. I've given reasons why I think so on here before, so I won't rehash them. But I think it will be a whole lot closer than many of you think it will, and the Pokes are certainly capable of the upset if the Dawg's O gets off to a slow start.

6. I don't hesitate to call out Oklahoma State fans when I think they're wrong.

7. My season tickets are in section 136, row 19, seats 19, 20 if anyone wants to stop by. The first game I'll be pretty easy to spot.
