Alright Cat, you've gone too far this time! Bashing Boise for their Home Depot policies? That's like bashing Boise State for Georgia's coaching decisions. You do realize that the Home Depot is based out of Georgia and all the store policies are controlled by corporate right?
Now, besides that, what the heck were you thinking going to Home Depot on Mother's day weekend??? That's like going out to eat on Valentines Day! What r u nuts??? My wife works there and she said the line in garden was 30 customers deep on Sunday. I swear people are just plain nuts. I wouldn't even have gotten three steps inside the door of that place before I would have turned around if I had seen that mess.
As to the dog thing, I agree. Taking your dog to a home and garden warehouse never has made much sense to me (and I have a dog). I understand taking him/her for some exercise, but to the store? Pretty dumb.
Crud. To get back to the topic, Soohell and Blacker are trolls and degrade every thread they comment on.

Soohell,
I know the differences between us are too numerous to count. However, here is another one. I admit that OU is a better and bigger program than Boise State and has a much more storied history in CFB. I have no problems admitting that. I just wish you could come to terms with the fact that Boise State was the better program/team in '06 and they proved it on the field. Granted, they weren't better by much. But they were still better.
Making a BCS bowl game three seasons in a row is an accomplishment. If OU were a non-BCS team it would be MUCH MUCH more impressive given the restrictions placed on non-BCS teams. Your conference tie in and the vast amount of money thrown at OU's program should enable them to make a BCS bowl game a majority of the time. So it's not all that impressive when you look at it that way. With the amount of money and resources put into the program OU should be winning BCS bowl games every other year, not losing three in a row and winning BCS championships once in a while to boot. I'm sure they will eventually, but losing three in a row has got to hurt.

you seem to forget one thing, those other teams we meet in the BCS bowl game put money into their programs also.
I haven't forgotten. But could you tell me who is the top spending football program in the big 12? Then compare that spending to how much Boise State spent in 2006. I'm just saying, there is no comparison.
i can andhave admitted that boise st was the better team on that night in 06'.
But you have also said many times that Boise State was "lucky" and that nullifies any comments you may have made.
You school has had the chance to put money into the program nad has choose not to. instead they want a alumni center and other things.
Actually Boise State has put a whole lot of money into the program over the past few years. Granted, in OU terms its a drop in the bucket, but quite a bit of money nonetheless.

Cran,
Don't try to talk numbers with hwcbn. He doesn't understand them. On another thread he can't seem to make the money connection and see how a (high) school that has a football stadium that seats 30,000 and has a field turf (tm) playing surface, a staff of about 20 coaches will out perform an inner city school with a coaching staff of 4, bleachers that seat about 200 and two cargo containers welded together for a press box. He says it's because my kids are Hispanic and the big school is white and black kids and it's a "well known fact" that Hispanics can't play football.
Then he can't get that, because Hispanics make up only 12% of the US population, there are fewer Hispanics playing football.
I wouldn't expect, anytime soon, for him to come to the sudden understanding that Boise, being a smaller school and a relative newcomer to D-1 sports, doesn't yet have the resources that a major powerhouse can call upon. Bigger donor base, bigger athletic budget, less collective bowl game money, etc.
I don't think it will happen anytime in the near future.

I hate to jump in on your "racial" conversation here, but despite your numbers soohell you are missing a key issue. I will be the last person to pigeon hole a certain ethnic group, but don't you think that there is a possibility that a majority of hispanics would be more interested in Futball instead of Football? Culturally I would think they would have more interest in Soccer and Boxing.
To say a certain ethnic group isn't good at a certain sport is racial profiling at best and racism at worst. You just can't paint with such a broad brush without offending someone. What is true for one individual is not necessarily true for another whether they have the same ethnic background or not. You can talk about percentages all day, but you have to take into account all the other factors that go into the decisions each individual of a culture makes.

Very well put Cran!!!
Just ask police departments about racial profilling and all the lawsuits they have to deal with because of it. There's no way Soohell is an upstanding member of a police department somewhere, cause he too would know all about it by now!!!
The key is to treat everyone as an individual and not to pidgeon-hole them because of their ethnic, religious, gender, culture, familial (or any other) background.

Sorry guys, I really didn't mean to drag the troll back over here because of his ridiculous statements on our board. Here was my last post on the subject on our boards. (note that the publications are the New York Times, a Hispanic online magazine and a British website discussing Hispanics in the NFL. Most of the articles quote a) Hispanic NFL players/coaches b) NFL representatives and c) Hispanics (whom you would think understand Hispanic culture better than hwcbn)
http://www.hispaniconline.com/magazine/2002/nov/Features/nfl.html
"“Things are changing slowly,” said Ron Rivera, (Hispanic player and coach (my added comment)) linebackers coach for the Philadelphia Eagles and a linebacker on the Chicago Bears team that won the 1985 Super Bowl. “Hispanic kids still gravitate toward the traditional Hispanic sports that were the national pastimes of their parents, and that’s baseball and soccer. But football is such a big part of American culture that it’s only a matter of time before more Hispanics excel at it.”
The 6-foot- 3, 302-pound González breaks the myth that Hispanics are too small for a game of giants. Green Bay’s Marco Rivera (6-4, 308), Jacksonville’s Colinet (6-6, 288) and Cincinnati’s Leyva (6-4, 315) are more examples of brawn uncurbed by their ethnicity."
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/03/sports/football/03hispanics.html?pagewanted=print
"The N.F.L. might be more popular in Mexico than it is among Spanish-speaking people in the United States.
“I think it’s very possible,” said the former N.F.L. kicker Raul Allegre, who was born in Mexico and is now a well-known Spanish-language football broadcaster. “I think it’s a fact.”
Recent statistics support Mr. Allegre: In Spanish-speaking households in this country, which account for roughly 10 percent of the population, the N.F.L. is out of sight, out of mind, lagging far behind soccer, boxing, baseball, basketball and other sports in popularity, according to a study commissioned in December by ESPN Deportes, the Spanish-language arm of ESPN in the United States."
http://www.pressbox.co.uk/detailed/Sports/49ers_Garcia_pro
ud_to_represent_Latinos_in_NFL_76.html
"According to the NFL's media relations department, there are 20 Latinos dotting the league's rosters, only three of whom are kickers or punters. Ten years ago, there were only seven Latinos in the NFL, most of them kickers."
Of course hwcbn ignored the facts/opinions in the articles, including the one that in just 10 years the number of Hispanic players in the NFL has tripled, the fact that there are several Hispanic 300+ pounders in the NFL, and the fact that even Hispanics who have been successful in the NFL say it is a cultural issue. I guess I should quit trying to confuse a troll with facts. We've all seen what happens when trolls are presented facts. Irrational hostility and warning wars tend to break out.
See y'all in a bit.
