So was it that whooping 37 yard TD pass, or the 20 yarder?

Bruce's average completion yardage in that game was 14.08 yards per completion.

As always, defense against the run was BG's downfall in that game.
Hmmmm... weird seeing you here. If it isn't the "BG fan" that spends more time on the Rocket board than he does on the Falcon board.

Right Tom, because Toledo's longest run that game was for about 30 yards. Bruce's quick scoring strikes had nothing to do with the comeback. :roll:
I've only explained it to you a hundred times already, that I spend my time on the MACBBS.

And you just contradicted yourself there buddy...so was it the "deep ball" or the "quick strikes" make up your mind. Must would not consider 37 yard a deep ball.

Also Omar throw was about 55 yards IN THE AIR against Boise. I think I can accept it being off target by a foot or so :roll:

These p***ing matches get less and less fun to watch. :evil:
Well, please stop watching then :roll:

Just because you like to sleep with the enemy does not mean we all have to.
Dude, relax.

We're rivals, not murderers of each other's children.

Rivalries stop being fun if all objectivity is lost.

I met a UT fan once. Name: Scut Farkus! What a rotten name! There he stood, betweeen us and the alley. Scut Farkus staring out at us with his yellow eyes. He had yellow eyes! So, help me, God! Yellow eyes!

Two things, Tom.

1) It's tough not to watch them when they tend to pop up all over the place.

2) I have a hard time believing you cannot discern between intelligent discourse and "sleeping with the enemy" as you so eloquently put it.

I'm in the same type of mixed marriage as Flipper, but I don't like to admit it. I pass her off as a graduate of MCO and try to get off on a technicality. My wife is no relation to this Farkus cat that RUIT speaks of, but she is a distant relation to his notorious sidekick Grover Gill who is also a Toledo graduate.

Count me in the camp of continuing the discussion if TJ so chooses. Redwington, BleedingOrange and J4H made salient, intelligent points about Gradkowski's arm strength and how it fits into their offensive philosophy.

I'm all for maintaining civility, but there seems to be an aversion on this board to debating UT fans on the merits of an argument, be it Gradkowski's arm strength, the difficulty of UT's schedule and so on.

The pattern is as follows: they come on the board, trash talk, a BG fan responds and the BG fan is criticized!

If TJ wants to tout Gradkowski's arm strength and criticize Omar at the same time, why can't a BG fan engage that point? Let's not allow a desire for cordiality override opportunities for perfectly legitimate debate.
