you're big into the Super Hero movies... super powers. Here's a dive Ashton had for a TD... that was called back on a holding BUT.... I've watched it many times and he flew a minimum of 6yds... 18'... and probably closer to 7yds, 21 feet.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
and BTW, I agree with the feeling behind your post.... There are a LOT of NFL fans outside the USA... to accommodate that in some way seems to me only fair. Again, you are correct, the logistics are a nightmare... never the less.... I certainly couldn't find a solution but there MUST be a way that those smarter than I CAN figure out. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

Wife just came running into my office holding the local Newspaper, "Ashton got a game ball, Ashton got a game ball". That's an award given out each week by the Fresno Bee Newspaper to football players around the valley, it goes to several players. He just "may" be in the running for Player of the Week... with 2 passing TD's and 2 running TD's; and had he gotten the 2 otby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I can't see how they can overcome the 'time' issue. One bye week doesn't do it... you need a week to prepare and another to recover.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
But I really do believe this: The NFL pales in exuberant spirit compared to Collegiate ball. You see that post game field celebration by Aggie fans after defeating Alabama? Now sure... the NFL would never allow that, (and shouldn't), BUT... even if they did that would never happen at a non-SB NFL game... and at the SB it wouldn't be anywhere NEAR as participated in. These days I really doby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I was crushed this year. Ever hopeful I had convinced myself that Fresno St. had finally overcome that bad habit of doing great and then losing to team they should have trounced. and then came Hawaii. And the woes continue.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Nebraska. Nebraska, IMHO, can do just that.. come up HUGE at any time DESPITE their ranking.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Just because you might have a bad hair day seems a weak excuse to me. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Part of me loves them... expanding, exotic locales... but the other part of me thinks, "VERY intrusive to the flow teams are trying to maintain". In the end I think I'd side with the "FOR" but that's one huge logistical nightmare.. .unless you just ignore the problems and make expanding popularity priority one.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but I remember well when they were dominate so today... even after this long dry spell... I still consider them one the College powerhouses.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Just before that game in conversation with my grandsons I actually said something to the effect that this year it looks like no one is going to stop Alabama unless maybe, only maybe, Georgia actually is as good as they seem. Then the Aggies game. :laughing Couple of top teams this year I have not had the chance to see yet.. Iowa being one of them... although I've seen highlights of them all.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I think short shrift is being given to the "fact" that some of those passes saw the intended receiver knocked off their route and which Stafford could not have seen or anticipated. That's not saying Stafford hasn't been errant on some throws... but I think maybe not quite as badly as we're making it out to be. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Different receivers but equally effective. Woods and Kupp are one of the great duo's in Ram history.... even if not quite recognized as such yet. And tantalizingly close is elevating Jackson and Jefferson into the mix.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Never really followed your team closely but knowing that you do.... coupled with my penchant for preferring those teams NOT really glorified in the media.. ala Alabama, Clemson... you've given me another team I can root for. Plus... they're in the "Heartland"... and that's always a good thing. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Youth Jr's.. grandson scores 2 TD's and 1 Int. So all in all a phenomenal weekend of family sports concluded... AHHHHH, BUT.... One must be humbled.... and today will test me. Family Reunion time! My Mom's side of the family. During my life I've never been very close to that side of my family... they didn't live nearby the way my Dad's side of the family did. And mostly... they are of a dby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
It is one thing to 'say' you're moving forward with the 'plan as is' and it's quite another to do it in real time. I believe McVay possesses a strong 'trust' demeanor coupled with a smidgeon of "gotta get this guy more plays" loyalty. All coaches do - my point being it's a bit stronger in McVay. If in his heart he doesn't have complete faith that any specific play call, player, isn'tby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
It's a tight race. There are some things in which I think one of the ones below Murray top him. For example: I think Stafford reads better than Murray.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
All three I've read were VERY unique AND surprising to me. This is great.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Because that is incredible, (SB your first Ram game).... and there is NO chance I would have forgotten that... if you told it before I just missed it.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I never get tired of reading these. So you knew football pretty well before becoming a Ram's fan... I assume because you hated the Cowboys. I didn't know football all that well when I became a fan. Football on TV was new to me. My Dad was NOT a sports fan except for the Indy 500 and Boxing. So on TV we were mostly a "Westerns" watching family with the occasional Indy and Heavyweighby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
but it's the same outfit and was taken on the same day. The "King" this year was an upset winner. (Obviously I was told this.. how would I know?) Syd's escort was the favorite, or that was the rumor, and he failed... BUT, he got his first TD of the year just after halftime so I don't think he gave a flying rat's ass about the "king" thing. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
About 2 years ago she got into cooking. This last year she started a charcuterie business.. (doing VERY well, couple grand a month). And SOOO.... I took her to a local Italian Deli for the first time, I'd been going to it for years. It's about 40 miles from our homes. She loved it. She always picks out my wine... she goes by how pretty the label is and believe it or not... that works forby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
A specific one, or at least a primary one among other reasons? I don't.. at least not that I can recall. Most people have said the "Horns" when talking about this in year's past. That may have been it for me, always loved those Horns, but I don't remember that being the reason. So this is a guess.. but it's an educated guess.

I thought they set the tone for the clothing manufacturers and the coming year... not 'exactly' but a basic look. Your explanation makes sense now.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
No, she's not the youngest. She's the 4th oldest of 7. Age in the photo? I don't know. I'm the worst at that. You tell me: Our Homecoming... again, I'm the worst to ask. I know they go all out for it. Each class builds a 'float'... on flatbeds pulled by a semi-trailer truck. Then there are clubs, etc. The marching band.

My grandfather, and Italian immigrant, came here and started his own farm. He built everything himself.. the barns, sheds, even the home I lived in for the first 10 years of my life. Connected to one of the barns... we had 6, was his workspace - supplies (wood, nails, tools, etc). By the time my Dad was in his teens they had lost most need for 'doing it yourself'. By the time I was born we diby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I'm exaggerating... but I would imagine I built a dozen of them. I live in the flattest place on earth. Around here a two foot mound we call a hill... 5' is an unscalable mountain. Behind my shop we have a loading ramp. Large chunk of concrete maybe 4' high. Used to load equipment on flatbeds. THAT was my soap box mountain. I had a stake, (carved myself, very ornate), that marked myby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
