I wish I was in sunny Pasadena instead of being rained in in the San Luis Obispo County area.
Dan Fouts pointed out former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler had a difficult time getting into the stadium. Then he joked that Bo said, "I don't need no stinkin' badge" (in his worst Hispanic accent) to get into his "luxury box" seats. The line comes from the famous (and great) movie "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" with Humphrey Bogart. I know, because I just saw it the other day.
Pete Carroll was interviewed after the game. On reverse pass to QB Matt Leinert, he joked, "Norm and I were talking about calling the play but the only question was, can Leinert run that far?"

It also comes from the even more famous and greater movie "Blazing Saddles" with Clevon Little. I know because I just saw it the other day.

No. "Blazing Saddles" got it from "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" and Mel Brooks was probably making fun of the line. "Treasure" is a drama and a timeless classic, "Blazing" is a comedy and looks dated now. To the extent you can compare the two, "Blazing" doesn't hold a candle to "Treasure."

I realize that the line originally came from "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre". I have seen the movie many times. "Blazing Saddles" is a parody, as was my previous post. I was making fun of your post!

I thought that it was a quote attributed to Mick Haley, after being stopped on the Harbor Freeway by the CHP! ;D

Kudos to the KSU QB for helping to maintain that aura of class surrounding College Football.
The sport makes me sick.

"Blazing Saddles" is one of the greatest movies of all time, and I wholeheartedly disagree it is dated. It may "look" dated visually, but who cares.
There really haven't been any quality satirical comedy films in a very long time, and hardly any normal good comedies. Remember the time when movies were made like Fletch, Animal House, and Blazing Saddles...
But that was a different time, when people made movies because they liked to make movies, not because all the cared about was making $$s.

Animal House wasn't that great. Inspiriing the Farrelly Bros isn't much to be proud of.

Kudos to the KSU QB for helping to maintain that aura of class surrounding College Football. The sport makes me sick. Other than the brutality and the thugs who play it, I think the sport is okay. I personally find it very entertaining. As for Roberson, let's look at some of the possibilities of how the last 24 hours transpired: 1. the rape allegation could be true; the sex was nonconsensual 2. the rape allegation could be false; the sex was consensual 3. Some nefarious Ohio State boosters set up Roberson by "paying" some woman to have sex with Roberson and then cry "rape" 4. A sleezy Ohio State coaching staff member set up Roberson by having some woman to make the allegation 5. The woman has a personal vendetta against Roberson 6. A person/enemy of Roberson wanted revenge on Roberson for past wrongs and set him up 7. A jealous KState player set up Roberson Not defending Roberson at all. If he did it and it was actually rape, he should fry in prison for the remainder of his life (or 20 years). But if it's something else... We won't know until the facts are out.

I suppose expecting him to forego sex, or even just sex with strangers, for the week is just expecting too much?

From a coaching standpoint....the incident happened at 3am and curfew was at 11pm. he should have sat out for breaking curfew...or does the coaching staff not care about team rules?

Sex with strangers ...isn't that the best kind? I guess it all depends. If you're a prostitute, maybe. BTW, what happened to your wife? More fiction?
