Ty Cobb

Just because Roger's apperance has changed over 20 years doesn't mean he's on steriods. I'm pretty sure you have changed quite a bit since 1989. I now my apperance is a lot different since 1989 and I have never used steriods.

[quote author=KDOSullivan link=topic=32892.msg323919#msg323919 Only 1000 of the 8000 students voted.....It already doesn't sound good. People who go to Lamar, go for degree, not for sports. As I have said in the past, look at the student support for basketball. My thoughts exactly. Something this big can only get 1000 students to vote. That's terrible.

The head coach, not sure about his brother, is a Sam Houston State Universtiy Bearkat as well.

Great movie line and even better picture. And people say that Cobb and Ruth couldn't get along.

Greatness was born!!!

Nicely stated and good point.

Can anyone give me some info on Broussard? I want to know position(1B I think), batting avg, and so forth. Can he help the RANGERS or is this another one of those run of the mill, one year players?

I think everyone on the list should be treated exactly like Barry Bonds. There's no proof that he's taken steriods and everyone has crucified him. Why should anyone else on this list be treated any different? Does this mean no one on the list gets elected into the HOF? There's talk about keeping Bonds out. Everyone else should be held out. Will there be an * by these players records? It should be if there is one by all of Bonds records.

I want to know how anyone, in their right mind, could vote for east chambers, wos, or giddings. These schools would get crushed by the 5A powers.

Very true in all sports!!!

I think this will keep up with just about anyone. Detroit new look line up. 1. Curtis Granderson (CF) 2. Placido Polanco (2B) 3. Gary Shefield (DH) 4. Miguel Cabrera (3B) 5. Magglio Ordonez (RF) 6. Carlos Guillen (1B) 7. Edgar Renteria (SS) 8. Ivan Rodriguez © 9. Jacque Jones (LF) Staring rotation. Justin Verlander Jeremy Bonderman Kenny Rodgers Dontelle Willis Nate Robertson

WOW, that gives the Tigers one heck of a pitching staff and adds pop to a pretty dangerous line-up.

I've been away from wrestling for quite a while now, but I'm slowly getting back into it. I recognize Ron Simmons, but I had no clue that he was part of the APA.

I realize what you are saying, but I guess a student could have failed, then played the following year as a 2nd year freshman.

Hornswaggle wins again. Did he use any of that special paint and run through walls? Who's The APA?

Thanks for the posts. Keep 'em coming.

Baseball Mascot Gets New Name After 'PorkChop' Is Deemed Offensive Tuesday, December 04, 2007 ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Two days after naming its mascot "PorkChop," the Philadelphia Phillies' new Triple-A affiliate abruptly dropped the moniker after receiving complaints from Hispanics that it was offensive. The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, whose mascot is a large, furry pig, had selected PorkChop from more than 7,300 fan submissions. The team, which begins play in 2008, announced Monday that the mascot will be named "Ferrous" instead. General Manager Kurt Landes said he heard from several Hispanics who said PorkChop was derogatory. "We were really unaware of any negative connotations with the word 'pork chop,"' he said. "If it offended a few, it's a few too many." Guillermo Lopez, vice president of the Latino Leadership Alliance, said he was called "pork chop" when he worked at Bethlehem Steel decades ago. "If my parents were alive, they'd be having fits," said Lopez, among those who complained to the team. "It meant much more to them than it does to Puerto Ricans now in the Lehigh Valley." PorkChop had been submitted by 32 fans. The replacement name, Ferrous — from the Latin word "ferrum," or iron — received the most fan nominations, with 235. The team moved to Allentown from Ottawa — where it was known as the Lynx — following the 2007 season. Construction is wrapping up on a new stadium in east Allentown.

I watched the football game instead. Was my boy, Hornswaggle on?

What tournaments will everyone be playing in?

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm not 100% sure on his age, but he was in his 40's.
