Craig James is praying eSpin wants him back

[BajaOklahoma]

Craig James is not going to be the Republican candidate for the US Senate. Thank heavens.
I honestly don't know anyone who voted for him.
Here's hoping he spent lots of his own money on the campaign.

[Curly Bill]

He spent some of his own money on the campaign, a large but not exorbitant amount, I just can't remember how much it was. And soooooo glad this tool wasn't just denied, but was denied in embarrassing fashion.

[Curly Bill]

$750,000 is the amount I'm finding that he gave to his campaign.

[Widescreen]

http://enr.sos.state.tx.us/enr/results/may29_160_state.htm

He got 50081 votes which amounts to 3.59% of the vote. Oh, missed it by THAT much.

He got 25322 votes which amounts to 3.78% of the vote. Oh, missed it by THAT much.

So it only personally cost him about 30 bucks a Vote. Good investment there craigy ya Dumas

Without getting this thread too political, he said some stuff that would ensure that ESPN would never take him back. If they are gonna suspend someone for saying "Chink in armor" when talking about Jeremy Lin's off-night, they can't take Craig back. In fact, they are probably thanking their lucky stars that Craig was stupid enough to think the state of Texas would vote for him.

SMU was your alma mater, not UT or A&M.

Tech might not be everyone's school, but Mikey was everyone's pirate.

Hope you saved some of that $100 handshake money, Pony Boy :P

An ESPN spokesperson apparently said back in February that they had no intention of rehiring him

Best news of the day!

[budbarrybob]

He'll probably be working at Fox SW or sumtin' unfortunately for us.

[Curly Bill]

He needs to be in prison for killing those poor defenseless hookers.

[prrriiide]

He'll be working for bleacherreport.com. Or some other useless rumor-mill blog.

[Wishboned]

I heard he's working on writing a screenplay about a football player for a Texas college who is also a serial killer, and it details how he killed five hookers.

[EatLeadCommie]

If he hadn't killed those 5 hookers while at SMU then maybe he could've pulled 5%.

[MsProudSooner]

There are 254 counties in Texas. That is less than 200 votes per county.

[sooneredaco]

[BoulderSooner79]

Still seems like a lot of votes to me.

[A Sooner in Texas]

There are 254 counties in Texas. That is less than 200 votes per county.

He did "well" in our county of nearly 500,000, garnering a whole 1,414 votes out of about 44,000 that were cast in that race.

[olevetonahill]

Other than just makin fun of him , Do we really care?:very_drunk:

[BajaOklahoma]

Well, he did get me out to the pole just so I could vote for someone else.

[MeMyself&Me]

I am SHOCKED he got over 50,000 votes. I don't know a single person down here that likes him... and most vehemently hate him.

[Widescreen]

Well, that 50,000 votes made up less than 4% of the vote so the reason he got that many is because Texas is a very large state. I suspect that's 3% more than he would've gotten if his name had been Joe Smith.

[BoulderSooner79]

Other than just makin fun of him , Do we really care?:very_drunk:

No. But fun is reason enough this time of year.

[Wishboned]

Well, that 50,000 votes made up less than 4% of the vote so the reason he got that many is because Texas is a very large state. I suspect that's 3% more than he would've gotten if his name had been Joe Smith.

I don't know. I never heard any stories about Joe Smith killing five hookers when he was at SMU.

I think Joe Smith would have gotten more votes. There's a lot of baggage tied to the name Craig James.

[Curly Bill]

Other than just makin fun of him , Do we really care?:very_drunk:

Yes! I live in Texas, I don't want my senator to be a total doosh-bag, which Craig James assuredly is. Besides being a notorious killer of hookers.

[tomtom]

Tina Fey would have gotten more votes.

[olevetonahill]

Yes! I live in Texas, I don't want my senator to be a total doosh-bag, which Craig James assuredly is. Besides being a notorious killer of hookers.

Carry on, I just want make fun of him.

[badger]

Apparently he only got about 600 votes in Lubbock... about 2.5 percent :P

And now Craig is going full-on aggie and saying he didn't lose, he just ran outta time. derp. :rcmad:

A&M Aggies say that they ran out of time or got outscored, if I have my aggie crappy tradition references correct.

As for Craig, linky here (http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/5/30/3052997/craig-james-texas-senate-primary-statement) and statement below:


Friends,

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for your support during this campaign.

Last night I issued a statement congratulating Ted Cruz and David Dewhurst for making it into a runoff. Now, it's up to us, Texas voters, to determine who will best represent us in the U.S. Senate.

Last night was not a defeat; victory was merely delayed to another day! As Vince Lombardi said, "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time." I am still just as committed to advancing our values in Texas and Washington, DC.

This campaign reaffirmed my belief that Texans understand exactly what is needed to turn our country around. We've found the winning formula and it's rooted in the principles that founded this country: limited government, personal responsibility and opportunity for unlimited prosperity.

We need to export the principles that have created unprecedented job growth and business innovation here in the Lone Star State. That's why I will continue my work with Texans for a Better America, the non-profit organization I founded last year. Texans for a Better America is dedicated to the Constitution, free market and American Exceptionalism. We have an important message and I'm excited to share it with the country.

I hope you'll join me in this effort by liking the Texans for a Better America Facebook page,following us on Twitter and signing up for our newsletters.

Again, thank you for your support and vote. I look forward to seeing you down the road!

For Faith, Freedom and Texas,

Craig James

[Curly Bill]

Jame's problem is his values he'd like to export to Washington are only shared by some overprotective soccer moms and effete little lady-dads. There are some of those in Texas, but for the most part that stuff doesn't fly real well here.

[olevetonahill]

Heh
Thanks

[LASooner]

wait... are you trying to say that

CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 PROSTITUTES

?

[sooneron]

A&M Aggies say that they ran out of time or got outscored, if I have my aggie crappy tradition references correct.

As for Craig, linky here (http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/5/30/3052997/craig-james-texas-senate-primary-statement) and statement below:

I'm pretty sure :mack: said it the same day that the wind was "tricky".


CJK5H

[Harris County Sooner]

5 of those votes are from hookers that he did not kill while he was at SMU.

[LASooner]

5 of those votes are from hookers that he did not kill while he was at SMU.

so he's not the

CRAIG JAMES who KILLED 5 PROSTITUTES​?

[BajaOklahoma]

So you want goolge to turn up both Craig James killed 5 hookers AND Craig James killed 5 prostitutes?
We could turn this thread into a source for that...

[VA Sooner]

Good riddance. Couldn't stand looking at him, hearing his voice, or trying to understand the non-sense "football speak" he was trying to push on his colleagues on ESPN.

The state of Texas just a big reason to celebrate.

[sooneron]

So you guys are saying that the following is not the truth!? "Craig James Killed 5 hookers "

[LASooner]

Ahh see I misspelledCRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS! when I wrote CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 PROSTITUTES. Thanks for correcting me on ​CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS!

[KantoSooner]

Wait. Craig James killed 5 hookers? Huh. Who knew?

And 50,000 Texans voted for him.

I wonder how many Texans would have voted for him if it'd been 5 Mexican hookers?

[Seamus]

I wonder how many Texans would have voted for him if it'd been 5 Mexican hookers?

Most.

[Curly Bill]

Yep!

[LASooner]

I just wouldn't want to spread any misinformation about the possibility that
CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS

So, font size, e.g. CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS
[/SIZE] does matter?

[badger]

I decided to google Craig James to see what he was up to since losing, but no joke, the returns are mostly what Daniel Craig as James Bond is planning to do for the London Olympics.

So... what about Mike Leach. Hmm...

Just got a QB commit for 2013. (http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/recruiting/blog/eye-on-recruiting/19346526/mike-leach-lands-a-quarterback-in-tyler-bruggman)

The kid is a 4-star according to Yahoo, ESPN and Scout. Go Mikey!

[KantoSooner]

I'm hearing reliable rumors that it was actually SIX hookers....

[texaspokieokie]

What is all the crap about the hookers ???

[olevetonahill]

What is all the crap about the hookers ???
Craig James KILLED 5 Hookers
Pay Tention.

[texaspokieokie]

Just more crap.

[olevetonahill]

Just more crap.
Trouf.

[KantoSooner]

But it's:

1) Fun

2) It apparently makes Craig James angry that people keep saying it

3) It smears James, his bitchy little boy, SMU and other people/organizations that I personally dislike

4) It's summer time, there is no football and what else are we going to do. (well, if we were Nebrakans, we could engage in a cutthroat tiddlywinks tournie, but that's just too far to drive.)

[texaspokieokie]

Can't argue with that.

[Seamus]

What is all the crap about the hookers ???

With the right hooker, and enough money, she'll probably allow that.

Have fun, stud.

Craig James was just arrested at McDonald's after buying a meal! (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2018426107_apaksecondarrest1stldwritethru.html)

It's fun googling his name :P

As for Mikey, everyone's still oohing and ahhing over his 4-star QB commit... but he also apparently is trying to make a football fan outta the Wazzu president

[Jason White's Third Knee]

Guys. You can't smear CJ like that. It's libel. It simply is not true that CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU.

There. I said it.

[badger]

Because I can't give a Mikey update without bashing Craig James, nyah nyah ESPN named his replacement. (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/hiestand-tv/story/2012-06-26/hiestand-david-pollack-apollo-ohno/55845378/1)

[OUTrumpet]

I am SHOCKED he got over 50,000 votes. I don't know a single person down here that likes him... and most vehemently hate him.

He ran as a Republican right? So some people that probably just voted straight party was how he got them.

[badger]

It was a primary, meaning he ran solely against Republicans in his losing effort.

[EatLeadCommie]

I wanted to get an SMU license plate that said CJK5H but apparently that plate is taken. Don't know if it's an SMU plate or not though.

[Petro-Sooner]

I wanted to get an SMU license plate that said CJK5H but apparently that plate is taken. Don't know if it's an SMU plate or not though.

That's funny

[badger]

I hope you all got a chance to see what I posted in the Leach thread. That was the only reason I bumped this damn thread, because I like to keep Leach and CJK5H attached :mad:

Seriously, go check it out. Mikey talks about Civil War generals and bear hunting and sh!t.
