It’s possible that this song alone caused Toni Braxton to dump Kidd for Jim Jackson.

Do you think Braxton ever had sex with Jamal Mashburn? How many women out there can claim to have had sex with all 3 J’s from those horrid Mavs teams of the mid 90s?

Toby Gerhart can’t be stopped

Jim Harbaugh should read sportscentr

Big Game Postgame Update:

Toby Gerhart can be stopped.

Shane Vereen can’t be.

I’m not going to argue this for long, but Gerhart was stopped by Harbaugh, not Cal. Vereen had an awesome game, though when it mattered most (on Cal’s last two drives) he couldn’t move the sticks by himself. Tedford’s play not to lose mentality _almost_ lost the game there. Anyway, for the night, Gerhart had better YPC numbers, and even if you discount his monster run (which is dumb, since that’s part of the way YPCs work), he was still over 4 yards per a carry. Harbaugh panicked at the end; all we had to do was run it in and that game was over…

(BTW - blaming the game on Harbaugh vs. viewing it as a great play by a Cal player at the end is the difference between viewing this as a Level X and a Level III loss for a Stanford fan. I’m going with Level X…)

Good game to Cal. They finally won a big game (not The Big Game, which they’ve been doing for a while now), so good for them…

Ugh

Harbaugh’s immaturity is still there. Once we got to the 14, he had his chance to take a deep breath, see we had 1:30 to go, a running back who had scored 4 tds already, and only a 6 point deficit in front of us. He was 3 or 4 handoffs away from giving Toby his 5th touchdown, getting the axe back, and getting that “Heisman Moment” everyone’s been looking for. Instead, he let Luck continue to play in comeback mode, taking unnecessary risks, and ultimately losing the game.

Tonight was a battle between two coaches who didn’t want to win. Tedford with his “center the ball” call and Harbaugh with his failure to run. Tedford lost that battle, ultimately winning the game.

Why do we need to learn something when we can just google it?

And Omar — the things that are worth learning instead of googling I already know because I do them often enough. For those other things that aren’t worth taking up space in my brain, I’m more than happy to google when I need them.

You answered your own question?

it’s crazy that no one our generation knows how - understandable, but something worth learning i think.

Why do we need to learn something when we can just google it?

That’s what I always end up doing with regular neckties too.

The bolded statement implies lots of funny things. It’s also wrong, as it discounts the fact that googling something may take longer than the act itself in many cases.

Remember Tom Holmoe? And Buddy Teevens?

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:29:42 -0500

Sean: Was there ever a Buddy-Holmoe showdown?
Vamsi: Nope
Sean: Ah, too bad
Vamsi: Ty and Holmoe left together
Vamsi: I'm glad, because otherwise it would have been a 9OT 5-3 game or something
that we would have had to sit through
Vamsi: Or JJ Arrington and Kerry Carter would have just said "fuck these guys, let's go smoke a bowl at midfield"
-----
Omar: Here's the worst thing. If Buddy Teevens and Tom Holmoe had coexisted, it's possible that they might still exist. They would have likely traded blows, occasionally beating each other, and perhaps even used that to make a bowl now and then (Holmoe and Teevens both came close, and had Cal or Stanford been brought down to the other's level, a bowl might have actually happened). In that light, I think both Stanford and Cal fans are willing to accept the 5/7 year losing streaks that they both endured, instead of what might have been (perpetual Holmosexuality).
