Anyone else keep up with pro or college football? Let me know Who you are rooting for!
How about them oklahoma sooners folks!
National championship here we come WHOOOOO

Tarheels all the way. We have been up and down this season but things are looking up under Davis. I hate Florida, so I was upset Tech lost...plus being from Texas I would prefer a Texas team be in the BCS championship.

Ya, i feel you. it sucked when we lost that game earllier this season and dropped from number one. We have a great team this year i would have loved to see them go undefeated.

Grass fairies?

haha
we'll see what happpens after this weekends ou osu game....
its a three way tie for a ranking position

College and NFL fan here. I'm a native Coloradoan so I'm a Broncos, Avs, Nuggets and Rockies fan.
Graduated from CSU (Colorado State Univ) and still go to Rammies home games in Fort Collins.....definitely not a powerhouse like OU, Texas and company but we've got some tough conference teams with Utah and BYU now. Hopefully the program will keep progressing and moving forward.
Anyhow, I always watch the Big 12, 10, SEC and ACC games and have followed the BCS mess with OU, Texas and TTU this year. Don't know who should go to the championship game but I think OU and Texas are better teams than TTU as of today. Too bad OU and Texas couldn't play for the Big 12...whoever plays Mizzou will likely win by a good margin.
Good luck to your Sooners in the BCS!
Big win for my Broncos on the road against the NY Jets...plus San Diego lost so we're looking good in the weak AFC West.

I truly believe that soccer is a better sport than football and if anyone contests this, I dare them to run almost constantly for two 45-minute halves

I can't agree with soccer being better, they are both physically exhausting. I played both throughout school, soccer more. But, i can totally agree that soccer can wear you down. Running up and down that damn field game after game always hurt, especially in the cold. But it was worth it all for the MVP trophy!

Well well looks like OK is number 2. Hopefully your boys can beat Mizz and go against Alabama for the championship.

There is a running joke around here though "why does stoops eat cereal off of a plate? ...........because he always chokes on a bowl"
For anyone that saw the ou game, sam bradford flipping though the air near the end zone gave me quite a laugh hahaha that one is gonna get a couple of replays on espn........
you can check it out here for your own amusement......

i've played both and i wouldn't say either is better..... they both have there "advantages" and "disadvantages" (soccer and football)
i will have to say though that i think the hardest sport out there is wrestling by far....
Try cutting 30 to 40 pounds in two or three weeks to get down to 7 percent body fat (the lowest allowed) and then be able to even stand up..... much less wrestle someone the same strength as you, i breaks down to technique and who wants to get there hand raised in the end more..... its a really mental sport, its all about who will break first

Wrestling is not the hardest sport out there, at least for me. I've been learning wushu in Beijing for 5 years and I must say that wushu kung fu is one of the hardest sport. Yeah i know wushu involves wrestling but the forms comprise basic movements are stances, kicks, punches, balances, jumps, sweeps and throws. You could be a bodybuilder, weight over 700 pounds and you will see yourself on the ground trying to beat someone who knows kung fu..

Dude that play Bradford did was one of those hold your breath and hope he isn't dead...LOL. At least when they chocked against Boise St. it was one of the best games in college football.

colligiant wrestling is the same way, that why i like it. I like sports that require more than just steroids to be a champ at. Obviously i'm not say lifting or getting big are a bad thing, i still like football obviously, but its refreshing to have sports where its not JUST about how hard you can hit someone but about what you know and how good your technique is.
you can put someone twice as strong as someone with good technique, and in wrestling the person with better technique will win everytime.

So true... truly an epic game with a fantastic finish. It really doesn't get much better than games like that. Even when not a fan of either team, you can appreciate how awesome the level of play from both teams was. Great to go back and watch it

I want a job like...

A cubical job. Where you go and sit in a cubical and have your own desktop and a BlackBerry for your job and you wear a suit everyday with a nice view over DownTown Chicago and you travel a lot to foreign places with good food.
What kinda positions have this?

Hmmm. Managing director doesn't have to work in a cubicle, they get an office with a view
To get a job like that, how about IT Manager, or Director of Technology? Trouble with other jobs would be lack of foreign travel (you need to be at management level or above to get some of the best hotels)

Insurance Agent...I did it for a while..Still have the license

I had a cubicle job once. I worked for a telemarketing firm selling credit cards (cold calls, called 3 dead people my first day). I have since worked for a company doing electronic assembly and testing, as well as several auto shops. Currently I drive for a tire wholesaler and I love it.
I get to see the most beautiful state upclose:

Or tires for a 250 ton dump truck (12 feet tall and weighing 9000 lbs!)

I work in the largest building in the world (by volume), building the jets that fly you suits around the world!

I want to work in a beautiful city, a nice vollege is OK for me.It must away from such noisy places.But it just be a dream.

This sounds good to me
18 different cafes
Free Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
The food is gourmet quality (e.g. omelet bar, chefs that make custom sandwiches for you, sashimi, free drinks 24/7, free snacks of all sorts 24/7.
The 7 person conference bicycles
Every Friday, Larry, Sergei, or Eric takes questions from us (in person), and we get free beer (e.g. Downtown Brown)
Gyms all over
Free Laundry done for us
Discounted massages
Refrigerators with assorted Odwallas in every building
Free bicycles that we can just get on and ride to different buildings
Always pickup soccer games, or basketball games going on
Amazing free automated massage chairs in every building
Lap pool, volleyball court, tennis court, basketball court, etc.
You can bring your dog with you to the office every day (1 out of 4 employees always has their dog with them)
Free shuttle to and from work everyday. (The shuttle has wi-fi). It even goes to SF.
And this place is...

An geek is walking down the street, and sees his friend, who is also a geek, walking along with a new bright red motorcycle. He's impressed, especially since his friend doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle, so he goes up and asks, "Wow, where'd you get that?"
The friend explains, "Well, I was walking along, and this gorgeous blond drives up on the motorcycle, stops in front of me, strips her clothes off and tells me, 'Take what you want!'"
The geek nods in understanding. "Good choice. Her clothes probably wouldn't have fit you."

Thanks...lol...not quite It's Thursday morning though

something pretty cool that i thought i'd share

so, since there's 0 people here that would actually know who i am, or recognize my screen name, i figured i'd share this anyways since it's a huge thing for me and my family.
in 1980 i started bmx racing. now, my oldest son has been racing for 3 years and now my 5 and 2 year olds have started racing this year. at the beginning of this year, i was asked to be a part of a committee in building a large indoor racing facility about an hour away from our house.
we planned, we built and we opened october 15th.
what we built was a national pro-am track, a super cross track and bike shop under 1 roof. we will have week long training programs for kids 8-17. we will have weekend clinics for training, hold regular race weekends and will be open during the week days for practice.
it's been a long year and a lot of work, but it all paid off opening day when we had nothing but great reviews of the track from riders.
we still have a lot of work, and we are currently closed again to repair some roof sections. right now, i am designing the network for the building and we will have login so when riders arrive, they can login to the network, which will sign them in for racing and charge them the race fees. making registration simple. we will also have large monitors to display race info as well as live cams setup at various sections of the track to broadcast on the monitors and eventually live stream on the internet as well. i'm hoping to have all of this done by the time we reopen in a couple of weeks.
anyhow, here are some pics of the building and from opening day

Cool stuff, good luck your new business. My daughter has that same yellow mongoose in o e of the pics.

That's a great achievement! It must have taken a huge amount of work to set up.
There were two BMX tracks near to where i grew up and i spent all my time out riding mine. I have to ask, did you ever ride a Raleigh Burner or Silverfox, way back in the halcyon days of your youth? I put up pics here in the Bicycle thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18322877&postcount=83
Thanks for your post and for the pictures. Keep us updated on any news and i wish your sons luck in their competitions.

Maybe you should come UK and start one?

Also what is the whole point with hand egg? In the play offs they only play one game with each team. It should be like hockey where you actually need skill and determination, and not just luck, since you have to win at least 4 games with one team before you can go to the next round.

Yep. They have like 8 teams play in the play offs. So there are 4 games first round, then you have 4 teams left, 2 games, and then the super bowl. Maybe you have a bit more teams at the beginning. In hockey you have 7 games between the teams before going to the next round.

All hail the New York Giants!

i say new orleans saints oh wait thats next year

Don't feel like quoting on my phone. Physical...with 20 kilos of protection. Not sure if you ever played rugby. I had a hard time standing straight for 2 days. And hockey is just as if not more physical. Getting slammed by a 200+ pound guy against a wall is worse than the same hit without a wall. Trust me.

There used to be a street downtown where everyone would go party. I don't know if they still do it or not. 7 years ago it was considered to be one of the biggest party places in the world. I can't remember the name of the street?
I do remember people parking their cars in the middle of the street on Saturday because the street was so crowded with all the party goers that you couldn't drive down it anyway.

He made a point that hockey is clearly a tougher sport too. And it is. Football-play for 10 seconds then stop. Repeat. Hockey-play 3 periods of checking, falling, fights, pucks hittig you, falling on ice (hurts)
