Hmmmmmmmmmm...I have no worry about that happening. Mine wouldn't fit into a pencil sharpener.
Something interesting happened to me Saturday. There was a car show in downtown Natchitoches, LA. I entered my 1980 Camaro in hopes of selling it. Front street was closed off to traffic. I was standing in Front street by my Camaro. I had on blue pants, my TECH shirt and TECH hat because it was game day!
A man in Northwestern gear walked up to me and said, "Don't you know you can be arrested for wearing TECH clothing in downtown Natchitoches?" I looked at him and he started laughing. He then introduced himself. It was Lee Posey, Mayor of Natchitoches. I knew the previous two Mayors, but had never met him.
Long story short...we talked about the TECH/Northwestern games of the past, etc. He mentioned the upcoming game next year and said the Northwestern fans had suggested having the game in Shreveport like old times. I told him most of the TECH fans were totally against the game being played anywhere except in Ruston. He wasn't too happy about that, but so be it!!!!
Sure wish we had a home game this week. Still have mild football withdrawal pains after seeing all four games in Sept. Even though the results weren't what we wanted, I love being there rooting for my Bulldogs. At least I have a 7 day kayaking trip to Missouri to keep my mind off football!! Paddling the North Fork of the White, Bryant Creek, Big Piney, Eleven Point. Had to change a day on the Current and Jack's Fork due to the Democrat's govt shutdown shenanigans.
Looking forward to us beating UNT on the 19th. WE ARE....BULLDOGS!!!!!
First of 2 in a 4 week period

Keep us up to date on your trip, Russdawg. Have a safe trip and a good time.
Big Piney in North Central Arkansas? If so, you may pass right by a landmark from my childhood. I didn't live there, but Dad's parents moved there back in the 50's (from Three Nob). We used to cross the Piney on a one way cable suspension bridge. I still have nightmares of that thing, just knew we were going to experience a bridge collapse every time we crossed it. The rest of the journey, off HWY 7, we crossed the "rivers" on the rocks of the river bed- no bridges. Foothills of the Ozarks between Bugger Hollow and Dover. Home of great Alberta (white meated) peaches back then.
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Still searching for words...
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
If there is one regret I have from playing college football, its that I didn't play for New Mexico State.
10 fans per game? Middle of nowhere? Cold? Cow grass for a field? And now PINK UNIFORMS!?!!?!
SIGN ME UP!!
You were too good for NMSU. They don't sign quality players. Which, will get even harder if they don pink.
OMG! I screwed up and kept this thread alive. Sorry.
Oh heck, I did it again too.
#4 looks defeated...
#56's hand position takes the cake -

Oldblue, I love Arkansas' Big Piney. Wondering if you crossed it a little ways above Dover near Long Pool campground, or if you went on up a good ways and crossed it near Haw Creek Falls? This trip is to Big Piney in Missouri, Arkansas Big Piney is too dry. But...
I've had some awesome trips there; some fun; some very tense at higher water. My oldest son and I paddled it about 20 years ago as it was rising fast and in a thunder storm. Two canoes ahead of us actually sank and totally disappearedat the biggest rapid, "The Mother" although the official name is "Cascade of Extinction."
On another trip I went into an eddy in my solo canoe, my paddle hit a shallow rock, and pole vaulted me out of the boat without flipping the canoe. My $150 wood paddle's inch-and-a-half paddle shaft splintered like a toothpick. If we go next spring I'll make some photos of the area for you.
Like you I've got great memories of the Big Piney. Glad you posted!
I'll update it here.
Sometime I'd really like to get together a paddling trip for Tech fans in warmer weather, May - Sept, to north Arkansas or southern Missouri. It'd be a lot of fun. Maybe we could talk about how the 2013 team RALLIED, finished 7 - 5, and WON IT'S BOWL GAME!!!!! Gotta believe.
Three weeks until MBB in the TAC, ten days until homecoming and BULLDOG FOOTBALL!!
Glad our Dawgs are working on fundamentals at practice. But, sure will miss having a game this Saturday.
