Rumor: Dasher announcement tomorrow.

Virginia was 9-3 and was ranked in 2007. that's the year they had chris long.

They were 9-4, not 9-3.

And I'm aware that they were ranked in 2007, but that is not what you said.

Well, it's what I mean. Relax, and put the claws away, princess.

There is no crime in playing poker

It's already been said in this thread that it is, in fact, a crime to play poker for money in the state of Tennessee outside of a licensed gaming establishment.

I tend to say what I mean, and mean what I say. I tend not to say untruthful things that make my program look better than it is.

Don't lie, "princess".

You tend to be a little oversensitive. and looking for confrontation at the drop of a hat.

Another thing, the initial POINT being that MN is not the biggest game. We've played several other teams with a much higher rating (including that Virginia team). Nothing against MN, that was just the point being made. Thanks for wondering in aimlessly to the conversation.

CATFIGHT!

very true... I apologize for that.. I got a little worked up..

I wonder if I have ever wandered, while I was wondering

You mean while you were wondering?

 

[youngstowngopher]

It's been said by others but I'll repeat it...we are a Big Ten team, we should kick their behinds with or without this clown behind center. MTSU does not scare me at all!!

 

[Winona Gopher]

What a loser's mentality you have!

You are worried about what you'll look like? It's not like the season stops after the first game.

A win is a win.

No i never said that, I said it appears we are the 2-10 team everyone said. You took what i said out of context and twisted it in poor grammar.

As far as the first part did you not read what I said at the end?

Funny how the old man doesnt want money back the day it was due. Also, playing poker at friend's house is not an ncaa violation. So to be honest, I dont think Dasher should get any punishment. His roommate dropped the charge on the checks, no proof of gambling has been proven and we are ending with just fingers pointing. Ridiculous.
And dpodoll...It really is great that youre passionate about your team, but you do NOTHING on this board besides bash people who dont agree with. I agree with tds2n. Just chill. It's just football. And he's right, Minnesota isnt the best team MT has had at Floyd.

I wouldn't call pointing out the inaccuracies in your argument by using factual data "aimless." In fact, it is the exact opposite of aimless.

We're not the best team you have ever played. But you can easily argue that because this is the most anticipated season of Blue Raider Football in history, and because you open up at home against a BCS opponent, that this is the biggest home game in the history of Murfreesboro.

 

[Flatfoot]

You mean while you were wondering?

Yeah, I know... sorry, I am a "bitter" old gopher evidently.. probably senile too

Let the season begin, PLEASE!!

 

[dpodoll68]

False. Actually, I spend most of my time correcting people's misconceptions and flat-out inaccuracies. I very rarely "bash" anyone, and if I do, it's a long-time dipwad who's more than had it coming. But I'm glad you have me "figured out" after your long-term, illustrious contributions to the board. I don't have the mindpower to make the weather bend to my will like you do, but I contribute with my feeble intelligence when and where I can.

And he's right, Minnesota isnt the best team MT has had at Floyd.

I never commented on that one way or the other. So, good job chastising me for something I didn't say, princess.

And yes, he is correct in that. Just incorrect in virtually everything else he said in that post.

Te be honest. Nothing I said was incorrect. I simply said a ranked virginia team. That team was a ranked team that year. I never said ranked at when we played them. The only reason I brought it up at all was just to refute that MN was not the most prestigious team we've hosted.

get over yourself.

 

[monk10]

I've been prepping for this week against MTSU. However, I need help on how to play this hand. Anyone have Dasher's Celly?

Well...technically you said you lost to a ranked team, and technically you didn't, they weren't ranked at the time.

LOL @ this convo though, good comedy.

 

[ncgo4]

It was an "investment" because the old man knew he could really play poker well, though the old guy admits he might be better. So if he doesn't pay him back it's ok. That ought to make the coach, MTSU and the N-C-Double frickin' A feel a lot better. At least he's a good gambler.

Wait a minit. If he was any good, couldn't he pay the old man back? Hope the old guy is a better gambler than he is an investor.

Saying you lost to a ranked Virginia team means that they were ranked when you played them (at least that is what you tried to make it sound like).

I don't think he has his celly on him. He was last seen riding the wrong way down a one way street - on the back of Gary Tinsley's moped.

Uh, no matter how much of a realist you may be, how is that statement not reflective of a loser's mentality? "We" appear to be a 2-10 team". Using the term "we" and expecting to lose 10 out of 12 games is a classic definition of a loser's mentality.

 

[dpodoll68]

I never said ranked at when we played them.

Actually, that's exactly what you said.

The only reason I brought it up at all was just to refute that MN was not the most prestigious team we've hosted.

I don't see where anyone said that Minnesota was the most prestigious you've faced. Actually, the best team you've faced was Virginia, a stance you said and I agreed with. The most prestigious (according to ESPN.com's prestige rankings) is Maryland (T-31 overall vs. Minnesota's 33 and Virginia's 66). I vehemently disagree with their ranking a program with 1 national title over a team with 6, but whatever.

I love when people lash out at the person correcting them, rather than just admit they were wrong. It's truly high comedy.

(Please keep going, this is a lot of fun.)

 

[tds2n]

2-10 is also very funny.

Classic fair-weather MTSU fan who won't help a member of his team ante up again, and then walk out on him. Then a Gopher is nice enough to give him a ride home, and unfortunately he doesn't realize he is in no-where, backwards TN, and goes down the wrong way.

LOL. I was referring to his conviction of DUI and attacking police, which included him driving down the wrong side of the street, in MN.

Hey Gophers,

Just wanted to stop by to talk a little football in advance of our game on Thursday. I apologize on behalf of some of my fellow MT fans on the board that have gotten a little carried away. I am as diehard a fan as they come, but I try to look at things as objectively as I can. I'm not here to troll, just to gain (and hopefully share) some insight about the other side.

That said, this is what I know at present-

-The Colin Boss/stolen checks issue is dead. Truthful or not, Boss dropped his complaint (not charge, there never was one) because he said he didn't realize Dwight had "borrowed" a check. Either he's playing CYA now for Dasher, or he let Dwight borrow a check and was covering his own when he filed the complaint when things blew up. Regardless, this is a dead issue.

-I am convinced there are no legal issues in play. That said, we pragamatists in Murfreesboro still have an eye on the NCAA. Ultimately, from the info we have I don't think the NCAA will pursue any further action. Massaro (our AD) immediately brought Michael Glazier on board to do some in-house snooping. Glazier, if not mentioned on the board already, is a former NCAA investigator who operates a private consulting firm for universities that are concerned with running afoul of the NCAA. He is currently working with UNC as well on their issues, and is a valuable asset for a program making a legitimate effort to stay clean. As of yesterday afternoon, Massaro, Glazier and Stockstill were all heading into Dr. McPhee's office for a meeting, all smiles. Just FWIW.

-Regardless of whether he broke the law or not, whether he sits or not, etc...from everything I have heard over the last few years Dwight has a problem. My two primary concerns in this situation are for the long-term success and image of our athletic department and unviersity first and foremost, and for Dasher's well-being. I hope that this incident serves as a wake-up call to him, regardless of the outcome, and I hope that he doesn't have other similar issues lying in the weeds.

-That said, I have seen and heard enough of our AD and coach that I trust them implicitly with the task of upholding the standards I expect from Middle Tennessee. Massaro and Stock truly are men of character, and I believe our university is largely reflective of that. If this matter is handled strictly in-house (which I believe it will be), I think they will make the right decisions.

-My own personal opinion? If the information we possess now is accurate...Dasher met Donnell through his friend at the V.A.... and the man lent him $1500 to gamble...and Donnell has no ties to MT....Dwight should sit for the first two games. Under this scenario, no laws or NCAA policies were violated, but extremely poor judgement was excercised and MT has taken a big PR blow. I think a punishment of two games fits the "crime", so to speak.

Thoughts? I can't wait to be able to talk about the game itself.

I understand since I was educated in the South that some people on this board think I'm daft, but I was well aware of your reference.
