- Start date
Irish-catholic kid from Chicago area since I was 7. I don't think it was ever a choice. How about you? How'd you become such a oklahoma state and Jacksonville fan?
The fact he is asking you these questions is beyond belief. Jaxx just wants to grow up and be like his idol Queen of kittycats. :mj07:
and whinerguy hopes to stop acting like he is 8 yrs old over and over.
remember the joker and poon sent me emails about KOD.....:142smilie

Quarterback Everett Golson said the adversity of abruptly losing four teammates while Notre Dame investigates whether they were involved in academic dishonesty is bringing the Fighting Irish together.
''I guess I can go back to my instance, where you really see who your true friends are,'' said Golson, who was suspended from school last fall for academic impropriety. ''You see your true brotherhood through adversity. I think we've definitely come together.
''I think we've done a great job of dealing with adversity and know everybody on the outside is going to talk. But we can only control what we can control and that's the mindset of our team. I think we've done a great job with that,'' he said.
Linebacker Jaylon Smith echoed that sentiments.
''We're a family here. We've just got to bond together,'' he said.
Most of the other members of the 17th-ranked Fighting Irish who spoke during Tuesday's media day wouldn't comment about how the team was reacting to the losses of starting cornerback KeiVarae Russell, leading returning receiver DaVaris Daniels, defensive end Ishaq Williams and backup linebacker Kendall Moore. School officials have said they don't know how long the investigation will take.
Golson wouldn't talk specifically about the four players involved, saying he didn't know enough about what occurred, but he talked about what he went through when he was suspended and how embarrassing it was.
''It hurt. I felt I had to feel the full brunt of that to self-evaluate myself and correct my mistakes. Be a better person. Be a better leader,'' he said.
Golson said he appreciates more what it means to play football at Notre Dame the second time around.
''I've been hit with it, so you have a better appreciation of the university,'' he said.
Golson and other Irish players said they know the classes at Notre Dame are harder than at most other schools. Golson said that's one of the reasons he wanted to return.
''Being a student-athlete here is definitely not easy,'' he said. ''But it's manageable and possible to be done. It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I think you'll grow through it.''
Defensive back Matthias Farley said Irish players know the academic challenges when they commit to Notre Dame, saying each player meets with the admission director and academics is stressed. He said at other schools ''people just talk about football, football, football.'' Farley said it was different at Notre Dame.
''They really took a real interest in you, how you performed in the classroom, not just your senior or junior year. But things you could improve on, things they would like to see you improve on, if you're lacking in an area,'' he said. ''So they really take a look at you as a student, not just as a student-athlete.''
Golson said neither his teammates nor his classmates have ever asked him about what he did that led to his suspension.
''I think it says something about this university and the people of this university. I think they forgive a little bit. It's definitely a forgiving spirit. They understand, `I'm not going to ridicule you because you messed up in the past.' It's more the type of thing, `OK, you're back now. We forgive yo

Last case I can remember of a player losing an entire year of eligibility due to academics is Julius Jones. Notre Dame has self imposed rules of a higher standard than the NCAA and cares enough about their student athletes to hold them to those standards. The downside is that you have guys missing seasons in spots that you never have enough depth. And you have to compete against teams that are playing guys that break women's jaws, have video of them sucker punching defenseless people and steal with no repercussions at all. The upside is that you understand the players in the post-game interview
Are you ever gonna bet again?
Are you ever gonna bet again?
thug life in football is the only way to fly.
Not sure if I will bet again.
As for you and soccer plays, full time consideration of another endeaver
might be in order.............
I wouldn't. Once you get exposed, it hard to go back to Scott-Atlanta big time.
My work is done here.
oh pray tell what exposure do you speak of accountant of numbers
the units are just flying around you as you speak :142smilie
booby
its hard for me to believe that you dont understand that people do lose
you for example with all your units. You have not won over 50% in sports wagering
in many years.
I have won alot more than I have lost.
I dont bet with money I dont have in my sports books.
I still have more money in my sports books than you have in your sorry life savings.
good luck to you pal
