So, I was watching some college basketball today. All that was on was Liberty vs. Lipscomb. Who is Lipscomb, you ask? A small school in central Tennessee which apparently does not have an English department, as their sports nickname is the Bisons. Not kidding!8816

Anish tweeted about this. I can understand going with the different pronunciation, but the plural is just wrong.

I agree. The folks at Lipscomb are only making themselves look like illiterate Tennessee hicks. Wait a minute, they are illiterate Tennessee hicks.

Well, as a born and bred Southerner, I'm glad to see that illiteracy is not exclusive to the South.

Good question. I think the Bizon will do better than most hope we will.

I hope so. The Bison have excelled and have been great for FCS football. As a resident of Denton County, Texas, I can also attest to the fact that you all are right popular in Frisco.

Bold prediction with a new qb without reps and losing some big fellas in the middle of the line. I predict a 3 to 4 loss season semifinal. Which by all rights is pretty good. Imho

Then again, this team has won 7 of the last 8 all while breaking in at least 2 new quarterbacks without reps, and losing numerous big fellas in the middle of the line.

While you might very well be right (and I hope you’re not :) ), one could make the case that your prediction is more of an outlier than his is.

I'm down with that. She's pretty hot for a Tennessee girl, and she has teeth, not necessarily a desired quality. Could be dentures.

Speaking for myself the reverse is also true - Frisco/Plano and their residents are quite popular with me too.

As for your initial question I think it is less of a certainty than last year by far. I will be purchasing Chipper tix immediately when they go on sale though. How about your crew? They gonna be there?

Wouldn't call any of them meaningful. Yet to see any of the QBs beside zeb throw a ball into right windows when a team needed a first down. To be fair I have not watched much of zebs full games either


First link we're winning 31-0. Not very meaningful no real pressure. Second link he literally fumbles and the opposition's incompetence allows a touchdown....

Isur, one suprise game like Western and then the semis. That seems pretty realistic to me as a middle ground. Qb plays well we very well could win it all again. He struggles maybe we lose one more.

We had to put a RFr QB in midway through the season who didn't have meaningful reps, and he did just fine. The offense becomes a bit more vanilla for a few games, and the rest of the team steps up. Whoever starts as QB, I am very confident the Bison will perform at the same level that they always do... this run isn't over!

I use swipe, probably picked up a similar word, I backed up and erased part to fix quick and moved on. But it's cool when you can't attack a logical argument you attack a person. Define ad hominem?

Yeah I suppose 4 might be a bit much. Wrs don't impress me yet so qb play is big.

I hope so. I think we will be good enough. Last year, offensive line deficiencies kept us from Frisco, plus our coach bailed on us at the end of the regular season. His heart was already with ECU. He just wanted to get out of there and move on. So, we have hired the best coach available, in my opinion, and I believe we will be plenty good enough. We return just about everyone. We will see. I live 12 miles from Toyota Stadium, so I may be there no matter who is playing.

A logical argument? You posted your opinion of 4 losses, then listed 2.

Let me help you out. The first quote lists three. In the second quote, he acknowledges 4 is probably too many. Your welcome.
