Ole Number 6

Also posted on GoWyoGo for greatest dissemination.

Subject: Consideration of new term for inclusion in Poke lexicon.

Gentlemen, I propose we label the Poke debacles, such as that witnessed against CSU, as the “Ole Number 6.” While not a completely regular occurrence, the Pokes put forth enough “WTF just happened” type of (terrible) performances to justify a common term for reference. Term will encapsulate the inexplicability of these performances and the utter disbelief, frustration, despair, and depression produced from one of these performances. When used, the simple term “Ole Number 6” implies an ass kicking that defies belief and also infers the questioning of any or all of: 1) Why God hates UW fans, 2) Coaching ability and acumen of the HC, 3) Coordinator/s ability, 4) AD ability / dedication, 5) Motivation, 6) Pride.

Advantages of use:
1. If a fan simply cannot reconcile the event just witnessed, said fan can simply acknowledge the term “Ole Number 6.” Example- If asked the result of the CSU game, the reply can be as simple as- “Damn, Pokes just got Ole Number 6’d.” No other descriptors or conversation needed and fan can go on about other business.
2. Journalism- Only a headline required. Example- Headline of Texas State game could read “Bobcats Served up the Ole Number 6.” No article required.
3. To specify past events- “The Ole Number 6 Utah State Game.” All fans know exactly the game in question….eliminates the need to look up year, score, etc.
*It is intended / expected fans will further creative use of the term.

Hedley Lamarr: You do?
Taggart: We'll work up a Number 6 on 'em.
Hedley Lamarr: [frowns] "Number 6"? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that one.
Taggart: Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a-whompin' and a-whumpin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.

BRILLIANT!!!

This thing has legs the way things have been/are going.

I am going to start using this and if anyone knows what I mean early on, I'll know they are a forum regular. Kind of like a secret handshake or something. That being said, unfortunately, it won't be long until everyone that has ever gave an inkling of a shit about the Cowboys knows what this means.

Border Debacle '13 might have been the benchmark Ole #6 of which all others are judged.

This is the lamest thing I've ever read. Winning and losing is binary. You either win or lose. Accept the loss. It sucks, I know. We didn't lose the season. We still have alot of games to play. If you don't like losing a game, or all of them, maybe you should create a topic called "Ole number lost em all" and bitch about losing.

In the mean time, I'm going to focus on winning and I hope the cowboys follow suite. I don't lose often in my life, when i do I try to learn from it. The rest of the time I'm staging my next attack on winning.

But I'm over it. I understand alot of you guys use alot of the cowboys losses to produce tears so you can masterbate. Good luck with that. Cry yourself to sleep and masterbate with the tears. Bitch about it in the morning (she wasn't cute was she - 5 fingers instead of 2 eyes and a nose)

Well since I am not on the team, I don't count the Pokes losing a football game as a loss in my own life....lol

One of the funniest (and truest) things ever said on this message board. opcorn:

When your personal life is affected by the loss of a football team. You're investing too much.

My bad for introducing a little humor to the situation and not realizing this winning and losing thing is binary. I forgot that being a fan and posting on a message board is serious business and a responsibility (and privilege) NOT to be taken lightly. And, I now understand that these message boards are certainly not venues to complain. Thank you for improving my education in this regard! Message board- Intellectual meeting place to discuss viscosity of tears as it relates to masturbating? You bet. A place to joke? No way!

I will break out the game film and see what I can learn from this loss. Who knows, I could have been sitting in the wrong row, wrong seat, perhaps I could have clapped harder, and maybe even stared down the CSU players with a bit more conviction. Imagine the possibilities had I not been messing around on this board and instead focused my effort on winning the CSU game. I will follow your advice and start staging my next attack. My laser like focus on the SJSU game should gain us about seven points. Damn you for not focusing my effort prior to the Nebraska game! I could have been the difference!

Dude, don't knock superstition. I'm very superstitious about home football games. If one thing is amiss pre-game, chances are something isn't right. This weekend, for example, the Montana football team came down through the crowd rather than through the normal locker room tunnel coming onto the field. The giant helmet they run through was also in a different spot. The result? A 14-7 deficit at halftime. This weekend is going to be all goofed up because I'm on call at the hospital which means no giant cup of Jager/Red Bull.. chances are something will go awry. So please, clap louder, sit in the correct spot, and stare down opposing players a little harder.

Mr. Titleist,
Sir, to put your mind at ease:
1. I have finished reviewing the game film and found I made execution mistakes on 31 plays. I had no idea my performance was so flawed. However, not to fret- All mistakes are easily correctable and I should be 100% by Saturday.
2. I am implementing a focused program of improvement. In addition to correcting the mistakes mentioned above, my program should increase my fan IQ by at least a third, my cardio by 25%, and my clapping and cheering 1 rep maxes should increase by 10%. Not bad for 2.5 days of training. I am starting this right now with a set of windmill stretches followed by some turn and bounces. Of course, I will be performing these in my brown and gold striped tube socks and UDT shorts; not sure if I will strap on the racquetball type eye pro or not.....depends on how extreme I end up going with this.

Mom, MORE MEATLOAF!! NOW!!

Kidding aside, I completely understand the superstitions.

 

[MrTitleist]

hahaha... terrific. Well done. I may have chuckled.

Nah - don't sweat it. What you wrote was funny as hell. I'm stressed as hell - this has been a weird year of being a cowboy fan. Are we going to win, are we going to lose? Back in the Glenn days, I'd show up and say well, flushed my money down the toilet, bought my season tickets, oh yes, we are going to lose. And guess what, we lose to Air Force 3-0.

Then we get a win and i say, well damn glad i bought those season tickets.

Then Christensen comes along, and the best defense he has probably produced to date (this is without me even bothering to dig up an facts to prove it, so i'm guessing more than anything) was that 2009 defense that was left over from Joe.

I buy my season tickets last year, we lose to AF 28-27. This year, I buy my season tickets and we blow them out. We start blowing out teams again. Rollercoaster doesn't even begin to define it.

It's probably fair to say something like i'm a 90 year old woman in menapause, because I have no idea what the hell is going to happen next. Ole number 6 & ole number 90!

Here is to a big win, or a big loss to SJSU!
