As an aside:
I've never heard or seen anyone call them "pastries."  
Patsies, sure.
Creme-puffs.
Directional U, yes.  
High school teams.

But not pastries.  It's interesting.  Did you get that from somewhere?

I think it's your term.  You need to register/trademark/copyright it.
Before it gets into the public domain, like "keenex" and "xerox."

They have tasty pastries in France I must say.  And the children are all above average.

I was at UGA 1972-1974.  I went summers and got out in three.  I mostly enjoyed my time there.  This period included streaking as a thing and UGA excelled at running around nekkid.

1972 - 7-4, with losses to Tulane, Bama, Tenn, and Auburn.  Did beat Florida and Tech.  Meh.

1973 - 7-4-1, tied Pitt, lost to Bama, Vandy and Kentucky, Florida, the last three losses by 4, 5, and 1.  Upset Tennessee. Beat Maryland in the Peach Bowl.

1974 - 6-6, lost to Houston and Miami of Ohio (Tangerine Bowl), not a good year.  Did upset No. 6 Florida.

So, they were glad to see me leave town.  In 1975, they were 9-3 and made the Cotton Bowl (a loss).  In 1976, they won the conference.  They beat Alabama 21-0 and then went on the road to lose to a poor Ole Miss team.  Pitt smoked them in the Sugar Bowl.




21-0 Bama win deserves an old Paul Harvey "And Now the Rest of the Story". On the night before the game, Coach Bryant made one of his All-Time blunders by having the team housed in a downtown Athens hotel. Frat boys (I know because my Nephew was a student and one of them) drove around the hotel all night blowing their horns. A friend of mine who was a member of the Bama team said the players pulled their mattresses out into the hallways in an attempt to get some sleep. All to no avail. Bama played the next day as if they were sleep walking.

pastries is a common term for pay for a home win team or doormats such as Kansas - in this area

creme-puff is a type of pastry

  • 1993:   At the time the conference's #2 bowl was the Holiday so 9-1-1 and #11 Ohio State got matched up with unranked and 6-5 BYU. 
  • 1994: So the Buckeyes headed to State College and got absolutely drilled by the Nittany Lions, 63-14.  
  • 1995:  
  • 1996: My parents, little brother, and I drove to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl between 11-0 and #2 ASU and 10-1 and #4 Ohio State.  The Buckeyes won 
  • 1997: 
Heh, I did 93' to '01 with Student Football Tickets.
93-97 I got my undergrad in Computer Science Engineering.
98 - Got hired by OSU, but saw my student tickets would be much better and cheaper than staff tickets so I signed up and paid for full time classes. Got my tickets. Then had someone explain to me why I couldn't take a full course load and be an employee. I'd say sorry, they would send me my money back, and I would party on campus like I was still a student.
'99-'01 I got my Masters in Instructional Technology while working at OSU, and every fall would do the same routine of signing up as a full time student to get tickets, procure my tickets, and have them send my my tuition money back. Good Times.

'93 - Only trip to Ann Arbor, Powers threw 3 (or 4) interceptions. My nephew 14 at the time took a beer bottle to the head just before half time and we spent the 2nd half in the first aid station. Also, My first ever bowl game. Raymont Harris "The Quiet Storm" dove across the goal line 3 times, and BYU had the ball at like the 5 yard line with 30 seconds let to try and tie the game. 

'94 - I went to that PSU thumping. It took us almost 11 hours to drive home from Happy Valley (but only 6 to get there,) I hated that whole return drive.

'95 - I drove 12 hours up to the Metro Dome to watch Eddie run all over the Gophers. I had a friend in Chicago who let me crash before and after the game. But I didn't get there till like 5 in the morning.

'96 - Driving. Driving is for saps. My Aunt flew me out to Pasadena to watch Jake "the Snake" Roberts mount another huge comeback victor... Nope.

'97 - I went to East Lansing this year, Gary Berry scored twice on defense. 

'98 - Illinois for an IllniBuck trophy win.

'99 - I don't think I took a trip this year. If I did I'm not recalling it. 

'00 - Took the road trip out to Kinnick Stadium. I recall more about the Iowa Gymnastics team than anything football related. 

'01 - OSU West, took the 3 hour trip to Bloomington. Kids wore basketball Jersey's to the football stadium, weird.

A pastry by any other name, except Georgia State, if you're Tennessee.

Poor Vols!
Great location, great fan-base, great tradition, all for nought since Phil Fullmer ceased being the HFC.

Pretty sure I have beat all of you in terms of turn around while I was in school both in depth of despair, and recovery:

Iowa: 19-36 .345, 1975-79
FSU:  25-10 .714, 1980-82

It paid to have Bobby Bowden on my staff.

And, my dad beat all of you, because he went to a second class football school overperforming in football, period.

Iowa: 21-6-1 .768, 1958-60

Paid to have Forest Evashevski on his staff.

1991: King Barry's 2nd year. 5-6, including losing 6 in a row to OSU, Iowa, Purdue, Illinois, MSU and IU. Beat Minnesota, so that's good. 5-6 was better than 1-10 in 1990.

1992: 5-6 again, but a win against OSU showed promise. You could see something was going on in Madison. Beat Minnesota, so that's good.

1993: 10-1-1. Joe Panos famously said "Why not Wisconsin?" when a reporter asked him which of UM and OSU would win the conference. Damn Goophers upset Bucky, costing UW a show at being 11-0-1 - which would have made them the only unbeaten team in the country. MNC, probably. F You, Goophs. 10-1-1 was a nice graduation present though.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!
