Re: Off Topic 2011

Gilbert Gottfried got the boot from Aflac for Japan jokes on Twitter.

Serves him right.


BTW about Gus Johnson, I saw a video of him from '94 (no announcer though) at halftime of the Baltimore CFLs vs. Toronto Argos. Yes, that's right folks Gus Johnson called CFL games for ESPN 2 back in '94.

I have a '94 ESPN2 game in my collection, unfortunately I don't think Johnson called that game or i'd find some way to put it up on youtube just for the sheer weirdness of it.

As for no NFL season, Let's just say i'll be a sad panda but at least there would be the upside of me getting more involved in college ball. While I don't think the product is superior the whole atmosphere and feel of the college game beats the hell out of any regular season NFL game.

Re: Off Topic 2011

That takes a special kind of awful.

Any hope for IU down the road, next season or otherwise?

/thisbelongsinthecfbforumbutidontreallycare

IU doesn't belong in there

The only time we got a good coach, he died of brain cancer. That's IU football for you.

Seriously, our two best players left but we got a new coach (OC from Oklahoma), so in a couple years, maybe we'll be ok.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I have IU. That'll be fun to watch. Another 5-7 year. So fun.

I don't know how I'll live without the Ravens. I can't live an entire season just reliving 4th and 19 over and over, and over, and over.

Damnit Housh, catch the pass.

Houshmendzadeh is still cursed for using a terrible towel to wipe his cleats a few years back when he played for the Bengals.

Don't worry, they'll finish 8-5 and win the Gator Bowl in the 2012 season

Spoiler

At least that's what happened in my NCAA Football 11 Pitt dynasty. IU beat Tennessee in the Gator Bowl meanwhile Pitt beat Toledo 34-0 in the GMAC bowl after finishing 2nd in the Big East.

Speaking of Houshmendzadeh does anyone pronounce his last name the ways the guys on the NFL2K series did just for fun?

Just got tickets to the Wednesday match ups in Dayton. Really doesn't feel like a NCAA tournament game. Excited to take my little brother though, I'm sure he'll like the experience.

Blah, The "first four" games are going to be streamed over the internet here in Canada.

I would rather lay back and watch it on TV. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Gilberts thing is to make fun of horrible situations, he has been doing this for years, way before Aflac hired him. They knew what they were getting, George Takei has even come out in defense of him saying that his firing was wrong

Depending on how good the stream is, I'd almost rather watch the TruTV games on the internet. But I don't get TruTV in HD for some stupid reason.
