MAN LAW: Stickies without a post or read in 30 days get unstuck.
man law:
if you graduated from a div 1a university and are bigger fan of some other university's athletics, bb&b members will pity you, but never take you seriously.
addendum: if the university you graduated from is Tech and you are a fan of lsu, then don't expect to get any kind of respect on this site of any kind. and may God have mercy on your soul.
man law: do not post threads in the football forum about any other university unless it is news that directly affects Tech (i.e. conference mate, near future opponant, competing for recruits, coaching changes that could affect Tech, etc.).
the proper response to such a thread is to ignore it and let it suffer a quick exile to page 3.
Addendum 2: You are, however, allowed to be a fan of any other D1 university* to even an extreme extent, so long as the level of fandom does not exceed that of your alma mater. Also, financially supporting another university's athletics without at least a 2 to 1 match to Louisiana Tech University is strictly prohibited.
* Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana State, and Fresno State Universities are strongly discouraged, but acceptable under the most extreme of conditions.
Man Law: Recruiting is a season too.
Man Law: You must know all the professional HoF for your favorite sport that played at your favorite school.
Man Law: College football is closer to high school football than the NFL.
-SEC fans may disagree but the SEC is not comparable to the AFC, the Big XII to the NFC, the Big Ten to CFL, or the Pac 10 to the AFL.
Man Law: The WAC is better than the Sun Belt.
Man Law: The JUCO is not a rival anymore but it is still fun to make fun of them.
I move that this thread be renamed Dawg Doctrine, because that's what rules the world!
man law #n:
if a man finds himself in a situation where he is forced to go clothing shopping with his wife, any of the actions listed below are strictly outlawed:
a. running back and forth between the dressing room and clothing rack to retrieve different sizes.
b. making suggestions as to what she should buy (other than lingerie).
c. generally any active participation or any expression other than extreme indifference and/or boredom.
the following are acceptable actions in such a situation:
a. wait in the car and listen to espn radio (may not be a comfortable option in the summer).
b. go to the men's section and buy a shirt and pair of jeans without trying them on (if done correctly, this should take no more than 5 minutes, so this one will have to be done in combination with others listed).
c. wait on the mall bench and try to occupy yourself with your cell phone and people-watching.
d. spend the small amount of cash she allows you to carry on a cinnebon and shiatsu massage (this is a great combination, by the way).
exception to man law #n:
a man may partake of the actions forbidden in man law #n only if he is simultaneously trying to get into his wife's good graces and trying to get out of doing work at home (as i was yesterday). even in such a situation, he may not enjoy it, and frequent subtile signs of boredom must be displayed.
