I've tried going to the chat room and it just sits and says "loading"

Obviously, I'm not doing something right.

Now....that just ain't right, Larry W.  Okie Larry would be on the top of my list to BS with.  And, I'm sure you were just BS'n too!

Larry, same thing happens to me if I try to go into the room while online with AOL, but if I go through my Internet Explorer (IE) I can go into the room. 

~M~

OK, maybe you caught me there.....up here in Huskerland, for the most part, we have no life other then colllege football,.  Larry, are there any franchise opportunities? 

WOW!!

Talk about openin' up a can of worms!!!

And on the subject of franchises,  actually each is operated by those with "hands-on" experience.    wink, wink

And,

I got out of AOL, went to Internet Explorer, and the forum opened up just fine.

There's somethin' about them AOL guys, ya know.....................

Steve B...I don't think you understand the love/hate relationship between the Sooners & Huskers.  Unfortunately, since the Big 12 took over the Big 8, we don't get to play each other every year anymore.  I remember well the late 70's & into the 80's with Sooner Magic, and seeing Barry Switzer crouching on the sideline with that s&*t=assed grin & pulling off the victory, and then a few years later the Huskers having their number.  Then O'l Barry headed off elsewhere, and we pummelled them.  It just wasn't fun anymore beating up on the Sooners with Barry gone.  But it's a whole new regime now, and could get pretty interesting for the next few years.  Stoops & our new coach Bo Pelini have been buddies since childhood, and T.O. is back in charge at NU.  Still, here I am, a poor boored soul in the heartland with nothing too look forward to other than CF season.    

Yep, I imagine now that Thunder on the Loup is over and the dog days of summer are just a couple weeks from ending, it gets sort of tough to amuse oneself way out there on the prairie. You could always huddle around the woodburner and tell each other ghost stories like the one about the golden arm while the wind howls through the window cracks and the snow piles up outside.

But in the meantime, there may be a catfish or two to be caught before you start dreaming about football.

(Has this thread strayed off point, or what?)

Straying off course kinda comes naturally, I s'pose, when there's a whole prairie full of lonesome heifers and just a couple of bulls sniffing around with nothing else to do.  This probably won't make a lot of sense to some, Steve, but neither will your reference to Thunder on the Loup, unless they've been visiting the other site.  And, by the way, it was magnificent...to borrow a phrase from Seinfeld.  

I'm gonna keep my dog outa this fight.

I'm an "Oklahoma" fan.  I root for the Oklahoma team and when the Cowboys and the Sooners hook up,  I look forward to a really good game.  Sometimes, it is.

Y'all been watchin' the Olympics?  There's a couple of kids from Oklahoma that are kickin' butt.

Ain't no fighting here, just a little conversation during the continual lull.  The "fight" begins in about 3 weeks when CF season opens.  The only time I'll be fist pumping, hopefully, is when things up north here happen similar to Tiger making a 25 footer to win a major. 

I was going to install the forum update however, I decided to wait until Gustav came in. Then I put it off again for Ike. But I may get a chance later this week to install the update.

BTW, we broke the 10,000 post mark today in the forums.
