  1. Yep, I do. At least I think I have it all. I'm not sure if it's every episode. But I have 4 tapes. So that's a lot of shows. It took me FOREVER to find it. It wasn't on ebay. I had to spend like 2 hours looking on Google and stuff like that and finally found it. But I had most off the vehicles when I was a kid and played with them constantly. It's safe to say it was my favorite show.
  2. I have all the Transformers episodes on DVD. It's like 33 discs or something. It wasn't my favorite, but probably #2. Anybody ever heard of a cartoon long ago called Mask? That was my favorite. I have all those episodes on VHS too.
  3. When I bought them, DVDs weren't around and I had to buy the VHS. I can burn them for you probably. I probably could tell you were I got them if you're interested. If not, I could do it. But I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow, so I'll be gone until the 22nd. So we'll talk then.
  4. I might could do that. It just might take me some time. Tommy's run was nominated for an ESPY that year. I don't remember if it won or not. He lost yardage on his last run and ended with 199 yards. I think some people forget that Ahman Green was a freshman on that team and got in the game and had like 75 yards in the 4th quarter, or something like that. There's several quality pros from that game on both teams.
  5. I have the 3 title games on tape and watch them often. I remember watching each and was on the edge of my seat for the Orange Bowl. The Fiesta Bowl was just the greatest to me. Two things stick out to me. Tommy's HUGE run in which he broke 8 tackles on one run. And also one of the Peters twins that picked up a failed 2 pt conversion and ran it back and started high stepping. That was hilarious. But the '95 team to me was untouchable.
  6. You would think all the politicians would like Ernie Ferglar, since "You make out like a burglar when you shop at Furglar's." Where else are you going to find that many crooks in one area, than DC? Donnie Baker could probably win as president if he ran. I'm not sure that's a good thing or not. I'd probably vote for him though. :lol:
  7. My bad. I didn't get to watch all of the game and hadn't checked ESPN now.
  8. It's all good. But I must have looked over the smiley face. Apparently that cop doesn't like Denny's. It's a small town here, and I know almost all of the city cops and the state police. I just didn't know him. :irked:
  9. John Riggins of the Redskins had it at 24 for like 20 years or so. Emmitt Smith had 25 in '95, I think that was the year. Then Faulk at 26. Then Holmes. Then Alexander. And very soon, LT.
  10. When I said that Tubby wasn't that good, my fingers got ahead of my brain. I realized later what I had put. I don't think he's great. But he's an ok coach. He did pretty good at Tulsa and Geogria. The only problem is, he had the same sucess at those schools as he's had at UK, with the exception of '98. As far as them winning more games than any other team, I've said this MANY times. It's easy to win with the schedule that they have. I don't remember what year, but it was one of the 3 that you metioned, UK only played 1 ranked team OOC. How hard of a schedule is that? Any top 10 team's second 5 could probably have a similar record against UK's OOC. But they don't give titles for regular season wins. You realize that in two of those three seasons you mentioned, UK had second round losses in the tourney? I don't understand how Tubby supporters could be happy with that. But that's all I hear. "Tubby is a great coach and has UK as one of the best programs in the country." To me, that's bull. They're not even one of the best in the SEC anymore. The original post by Adopted Admiral stated that Tubby could've won with the '97 team. I find that hard to believe. As I said, Tubby can't win with HIS players, so how could he say that they would've won the title that year with Pitino's players? It's ridiculous.
  11. What??? Are you sure you're talking to me? It just seems so strange.
  12. Really? I didn't watch the presentation, but from reading the posts on here, I was under the impression that that's EXACTLY what he had, class and dignity. I thought this country was all about giving somebody a second chance. How many times have YOU screwed up and got another shot? Maybe your boss has called you into their office and chewed you out for doing something you shouldn't. Did they fire you right then, or send you back to work? That might be nice for you to say about him, but you should think about you getting second chances too. But that's my opinion. Maybe you choose not think like that.
  13. I was wondering how long it would take. I guess the Heisman winners have to pass a background check?
  14. I would say I was probably neutral. I was a big Rick fan and probably still trying to get over him leaving. If UK hadn't won in 98, I wouldn't have hated Tubby then. I would've understood, it being his first year. I was just glad they won. I want to be glad like that again. And so far, Tubby isn't doing it. I didn't hate him in 98, but it sure didn't take me long after that to dislike him. I've been displease probably since 2000 or so.
  15. So all UK fans don't respect Tubby? If somebody claims to be a UK fan, that must mean they don't like him? OK, glad you explained that to me. Look, for me it's very simple. I have been very critical of Tubby in the past. But I've said several times on the multiple posts that cover the same thing that you started here, if Tubby would get UK to the Final Four ONE TIME, after screwing up the past 8 years, I'd stop being critical of him and accept him. But he can't do that. Every year all the Tubby lovers say that he's got a great freshman class and in a couple of years, they'll be a great team. But we've heard that for years now. He brought in 3 All Americans and they haven't done much yet. He got Alleyne who looked like he had never watched a basketball game before. Maybe this year's freshmen will be better. We'll see in a couple of years. But I doubt it. As far as the Duke game, if I understand what you're saying, Smith is such a great coach that he was able to coach Turner's speed and quickness which caused Wojo to be benched. Is that right? Well if Smith is good enough to coach a player's quickness, then I guess I'll be quiet because he's done something that no other coach has been able to do before. But you've only came up with one example. So he outcoached Coach K. Personally, I haven't been that impressed with him either. But that's another topic. A blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile. You have one example, how many second round losses in the tourny do we have to have before you'll realize he's not that good? If Tubby was able to coach Pitino's players and win the title, why hasn't he been able to take HIS OWN PLAYERS and get them to the Final Four? To me, that means one of two things. Either he's not capable of recruiting good quality players, or if he can recruit those players, he's not a good enough coach to get them to the FF. I'm actually leaning toward both of those being right. Pitino may have the same number of titles as Tubby. But Pitino has been to more. You can't win it if you're not there. And we haven't been there in a long time. But Rick has 5 Final Four appearances. Tubby has 1, with players that he didn't recruit. If I had to pick between the two, I'd pick Rick before you got the choices named. Maybe he is a liar. Big deal. He wins. He rebuilt UK basketball and Tubby has done very little to keep the program where it was when he took over.
