Are @Tequilla and I going to have to take the gloves off and duke it out for the right to be sacrificed tomorrow?

I don't know, do you strive to make people THINK and CARE?

I know that there are a lot of posters that demand to think and care, but it's hard. Chris Petersen is actually right when he talks about how hard it is. When I was at TCU, I once wrote a thesis on how to make people think and care. It's kind of funny when you think about it thinking and caring. What does that entail? I think that is something to question this offseason.

I know most right now do now think and care, but they are also too young to think and care. I'm more pissed than anyone about them not thinking and caring, but after two to three days, I am able to rationalize why.

I hate Jonathon Smith as much as anyone, but I can tell you he does think about his calls and he DOES care. Same goes for Chris Petersen. I see a lot of similarities between Petersen and Larry Culpepper down at TCU. I can tell you from watching TCU firsthand that winning games is fun.

What is the context of the thought to make one think? I'm not sure if we can tell yet. I can tell you that Jonathon Smith does think about his play calls and he does care.

Once you can walk, then you can run. Once you can think, you can care. It's not the other way around. I know many want it to be, but that's not the case. Are we talking about a court case or a brief case? If it's the former, I'm all for it. If it's the latter, Petersen might have to make some changes.
