What has happened? Today was as disappointed as I've felt since 1999 or 2000. And at least in those years, effort was never a question. Those clubs competed. They weren't talented. But they competed. What I saw today was an absolute joke. There have been plenty of posts today about the Orange Bowl 3 years ago. And what has taken place since. 8-5, 7-6 and probably 4-8.

Watching today's game, I couldn't help but think back to 1998 when the Hawks traveled to Indiana. Most of you remember that season.

It always helps, but only a little, because when you wake up the next day, and you still have to live with your problems, plus you have a headache and the Hershey squirts. Some of those problems are minor, like your wife divorced you for getting drunk on weeknights and throwing things at Alex Trebek on the television for being so smug. ...
[QUOTE=Scorpio79;946409]I saw big10fan's odd "ban me" thread, with which JD gladly complied, but does anyone know how e11en earned a smiting?[/QUOTE] Just guessing here but JD warned everyone to go thru the ***Official Game Thread*** and edit any posts deemed harsh regarding a certain qb. 11 was determined to stand up and make a stand.
