Attention Torn!

[Torn Rose]

I plead the 5th on that subject.

Actually I was surprised this was a real thread and not Greenies cheap parlor trick that shows everyone else their own name.

I think Ohio State will once again be playing for the National Title but I am not sure the SEC will make it; I personally think the Big 12 will make it this year.

Last I saw, Purdue was projected to go to the Alamo Bowl which means "Big Ten #4 or #5" team which I am ok with since that is where the Joe Tiller era began and it would be nice to win another bowl since it hasn’t happen as much as it should have.

I really just want to beat Notre Dame to shove it in Weis’s face since as he said “Notre Dame will never lose to teams like Purdue while I am here”… except that one time….so far.

We have Comcast here in OR so no Big Ten Network is available here, so we are considering on getting a dish just so we can get our games.

What about you, still think the SEC is in control?

Look for Tennessee to be the surprise team out of the SEC. That being said it's going to be a "fucking blood bath" in the SEC this year.

Look at Georgia’s schedule; they play the 2006 & 2007 National Champs on the road back to back.

Sat, Aug 30 Georgia Southern Athens, Ga.
Sat, Sep 06 Central Michigan Athens, Ga.
Sat, Sep 13 South Carolina * at Columbia, S.C.
Sat, Sep 20 Arizona State at Tempe, Ariz.
Sat, Sep 27 Alabama * Athens, Ga
Sat, Oct 11 Tennessee * Athens, Ga.
Sat, Oct 18 Vanderbilt - Homecoming * Athens, Ga.
Sat, Oct 25 LSU * at Baton Rouge, La. - 2007 National Champs
Sat, Nov 01 Florida * at Jacksonville, Fla. - 2006 National Champs
Sat, Nov 08 Kentucky * at Lexington, Ky.
Sat, Nov 15 Auburn * at Auburn, Ala.
Sat, Nov 29 Georgia Tech Athens, Ga.

Add in Tennessee, Auburn and ASU. . Holy shit!

The real fun comes when Tubberville and Petrino meet and Sabin and Miles square off . . Holy Shit!

PS. I don't like ND so I hope the "Makers" hand them ass on a platter!

Wow, that is a shitty lineup.

This is the first year we play Ohio St and UM as “1 game there, 1 game here” since for the past 10+ years we played both games there every other year and that is asking a lot for anybody but those 2 weeks of Tigers and Gators looks nasty as well.

I think Penn St and Wisc will be tougher than most think, but ILL is a big "?", If UM wins 8 games they will have had a great year. IU is coming back down to earth after the last year, and NW will be NW and MN will win 4 maybe 5 games, Iowa will be around .500 all year and MSU is projected to be tough as well.

Big Ten is a weird place right now, we have so much that can be good and so much that can go bad.

But I think THE Ohio St will go unbeaten vs some team with 1 loss.

USC?

You had me change your username BEFORE this thread was started.

Besides, I only play parlor tricks on Skippy these days.

(who feels even more stupider now!)

That’s right... keep digging deeper.....

Ok, the story of how I got "Torn Rose"….

In February 1995 we finally got a new PC that was fast enough to run the game I was just DYING to play, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls:_Arena

(I still have that 120 MHZ)

I wanted a name for my character that would fit into the game like “Conan” but I wanted something more original. I had just bought Toni a dozen long steam roses for Valentine’s Day and they was in a vase on the desk when I saw the thorns on the steams so I thought “Rose Thorn” for a name, but that was too “girly” so I switched it to “Thorn Rose” and fell in love with that name.

3 days later I realized I left the “H” off the name and had wrote “Torn Rose”…. Which I loved even more and took it as my “name”.

When we started working on our site in late 1999 I just started to use it, and for the most part I used just “Torn” but a few places I used “Torn Rose” and just liked it better…

So there.

My money is on Auburn. Started a lot of freshmen last year because they were better than the seniors so this year they have some experience. Watch the SEC closely....

For the SEC or for the National Title?

You told me that you were learning how to type without looking and the name you meant to enter was actually "Douche Bag", but once you saw the results, you were happy that you had accidentally typed 2 properly spelled words together.
