Glad to have another team board to read. Harry won't like it, but I look forward to keeping up with Oklahoma State Cowboys football.

I don't care one way or the other. I keep up with them (just as I do with all the teams OU plays)but I don't see any reason to waste my time posting about them.

George Bush High School?  I'm guessing that rhetoric isn't their strong suit...


George H. W. Bushisms



"If you're worried about caribou, take a look at the arguments that were used about the pipeline. They'd say the caribou would be extinct. You've got to shake them away with a stick. They're all making love lying up against the pipeline and you got thousands of caribou up there."

--GHWB —speaking in 1991 about the Alaskan pipeline

"It's no exaggeration to say the undecideds could go one way or another." —

--GHWB in 1988

"I put confidence in the American people, in their ability to sort through what is fair and what is unfair, what is ugly and what is unugly."

--GHWB –in 1989

"You cannot be president of the United States if you don't have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial and the Civil War and all that stuff. You can't be. And we are blessed. So don't feel sorry for — don't cry for me, Argentina. Message: I care." —

--GHWB, speaking to employees of an insurance company during the 1992 New Hampshire primary

LOL. It doesn't matter. Houston is crazy for GHWB--even though, actually, he is a Connecticut Yankee

Starting qb J.W. Walsh injured his foot during the first quarter of the Missouri State game. Walsh spent the rest of the game wearing a walking boot and hobbling around on crutches. It doesn't look good for him to return soon (will miss 4-6 weeks, maybe more if he needs surgery). Back up qb Daxx Garman took over and played well. The Missouri State game was the first game he has played in five years. Garman transferred from Arizona where he was third string qb behind Nick Foles and the number two qb Bryan?

Garman has an interesting background. See the video below and note the controversy during his high school career at Jones, Ok and Texas Southlake Carroll:

Well, Daxx Garman is the guy. Starting quarterback J.W. Walsh had foot surgery and might miss the rest of the season. Daxx Garman will take the field Saturday against UT-San Antonio. UTSA head coach Larry Coker was an offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State where he coached Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders.

That's a shame about Walsh. Liked how he played in the opener vs fsu.

Yes, I feel bad for Walsh. He seems like a nice guy.

Congratulations to replacement quarterback Daxx Garman, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week

It must be nice to have a HC who knows how to get more than one QB ready play.
