Ty Cobb

“I’ll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we’ll be champions.” BEAR BRYANT “I saw Cobb make plays that no one else would dare to try. He was a master at calculating the odds, and he was in a class by himself on the base paths. He had brains in his feet.” BRANCH RICKEY “He was the strangest of all our national sports idols, but not even his disagreeable character could destroy the image of his greatness as a ballplayer. Ty Cobb was the best. That seemed to be all he wanted.” JIMMY CANNON “The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his own fault.” TY COBB “I recall when Cobb played a series with each leg a mass of raw flesh. He had a temperature of 103, and the doctors ordered him to bed for several days, but he got three hits, stole three bases, and won the game.” GRANTLAND RICE

“We spend 8 hours a day, for 10 months a year, for nearly 17 years sending our kids to school to prepare them for life. In all of that time there is never a course in overcoming adversity, goal setting, sacrifice, perseverance, teammates or family. I guess that’s what football is for.” JOHN A. PASSARO

Me too, I've been known to miss a few times!!!

Englebert, if you ever decide to become a politician, you will get my vote based on the issues that you stated above.

SHSU lost 2 of 3 to Dallas Baptist this weekend. Conference record:6-0 Overall record: 17-7

This is a scouting report from Bryan Broaddus. He's a long time scout and works for the COWBOYS. Sounds like the COWBOYS found an exact copy of Dez for less money. Bryan Broaddus' Scouting Report Name: Allen Hurns Position: Wide Receiver College: Miami Height: 6-1 Weight: 201 Draft: Signed undrafted with Jacksonville in 2014Read Very competitive. This guy goes hard every snap. He’s not afraid to get in the face of defenders. He has taken some big hits and got up to tell the defender he’s good. Physical toughness. Hurns doesn’t have great playing speed or quickness. Where he does show some quickness is his inside routes from the slot. It takes him a little time to get going down the field. He doesn’t play with much vertical separation. Again, his best routes are in the middle and outside. He has the body control to make adjusting receptions. Often, his quarterback did him no favors. They only used him a couple of times on option routes from the slot. Again, the lack of quickness shows here. Outstanding leaping ability. You don’t see him getting those 50/50 shots like Dez Bryant, but when he goes up, he comes down with it. He got stopped on a couple of fourth down receptions where they needed him to fight for that yard, but his strength is not a problem. He runs routes like Dez – kind of all over the place. There’s not much sharpness to them. He runs less slants but think of Dez and that’s what you have. A big guy trying to look smooth. Hurns is a natural hands catcher. He will extend to make the catch. He had a couple of drops that were his fault, but he will make the contested catch in traffic. Like Dez, he has had some big games and stretches where he did not do too much. They didn’t move him around as much as I thought they would. It’s amazing how similar the two players are. I have no idea about his smarts but film didn’t show any major busts.

Ok guys, give me the positive's and negative's of the "sticks" compared to cable. After the digital change, and having to get multiple cable boxes, I will be charged around $190 a month for cable and internet. My cable is basic extended, which means I get the espn's. No movie channels or anything special.

The COWBOYS just signed Allen Hurns. How does he help? Is this writing on the wall for Dez Bryant?

Bought a roku stick a few months ago so we could watch Game of Thrones. How are those sticks for watching live sporting events?

I don't like the, must have a cable box deal. It's going to cost an additional $11 each month for the cable boxes. However, I do prefer cable over any of the satellites/dish services.

This is not a bad thing. title 9 is on my list of 3 worst laws ever.

Only 3 of us?

Their response will be, "not all of our generation eats Tide pods." My response, not all gun owners commit mass shootings. There are 33,000 gun related deaths in America each year. 62% of those are from suicide. 2% are from mass shootings. Again, cars kill more people than guns, drugs kill more people than guns, cardiovascular disease kills over 600,000 people every year. Why are we so worried about guns but not about what people put into their bodies? How about protest fast food places. Would love to know how many of these Tide pod eaters are overweight or obese. Why not protest that? Why isn't the media covering the alarming obesity problem that we have?
