OK, I'll fess up......
professional baseball, the NBA, Soccer in general, and until a few years ago, the NFL, except when the San Diego Chargers are playing, are personally just not that exciting to me. I like college football, more precisely, when Arkansas is playing. I admit I have taken it too far where individual taste in sports should be taken. Please forgive me for dissing anyone's favorite sport. I simply have no interest, but let me warn everyone that, as the Bowl games get closer, you may have to put up with my posting on many of these games. Ignore if it bothers you, reply if you're interested, but be prepared for an influx from me when it comes to Arkansas vs OSU. I'm just getting tired of going from Arkansas to OSU boards and listening to fans that are sure one is going to kick each others asses. I don't know what the outcome will be because I am not an all-seeing prognostigor of the future. All I ask is when I start the Sugar Bowl thread is some honest predictions and comment as the game progresses with as much respect as a DUer can generate.
In case anyone's interested, I bleed Razorback red. I will come here and to the OSU board to congtatulate them on a well earned victory. I think that is what all sports fan shoud asprire to, if it turns out that way. I hope to expect the same from the opposition. Probably my last post until the first SEC team takes the field. Thanks.

2. Thanks Trumad.....
It's an exciting time for little ole Arkansas. Going to a BCS bowl after only three years under Petrino has us a little pumped. All we have to do is win against one of the premiere great programs in the country. I think we can. I'll restrain myself till at least Jan. 2-2011, although I may reply to other bowl game threads that hold interest to other DU members. Thanks.

3. Trash talking..
is part of the enjoyment of any sports board....something that comes with the territory. It's not an indication of any lack of respect.

Btw, are you sure "prognostigor" is really a word?

8. Thanks for the reminder, Upton. Changed the channel from MSNBC
Edited on Thu Dec-16-10 11:00 PM by madinmaryland
to check out the 49ers getting humiliated, 31-0!

I guess I will go back to MSNBC and Keith Olbermann at 11:00!

7. Yep, I screwed up that spelling...
...should be prognosticator, but what really surprises me is someone who had to ask if it was a "real" word and could not figure out for themselves what I was saying. Any more trouble with words such as "ang" used in a sentence being a mistype for the word "and" just give me a yell, and I'll be glad to help you out.

As far as Trumad's post "suck it douchebags", it's pro basketball, still one of the most boring sports, in my opinion, barely ahead of golf. Thanks.
