Okay, so tomorrow does Irvin get in?

[Yeagermeister]

What time the announcement be made tomorrow?

IIRC 3pm

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

In 1996 he missed 5 games due to suspension - we lost 3 of those games, had to play a wildcard game rather than get a bye and then go on the road and play in Carolina.

I wouldn't count 1996 as a dominant year at all.

I remember that Carolina game. Irvin got injured early in that game and Carolina proceeded to hammer us. Hard to watch, that one.

Michael Irvin will be voted in tomorrow.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Michael Irvin will be voted in tomorrow.

OK CBz. I don't really think he will be but if you say it's so, I'm gonna have to trust you. You are not a man who would ever lie about such things.

I'm going on faith here and the strength of your word.

He's in.

 

[ZeroClub]

I hope he will and I think he will.

And if he does get in, I think I'll find a way to get to Canton that weekend.

 

[Cochese]

I doubt it.

Well Sir there's nothing like putting pressure on a fella is there.

I feel it's his turn......he has at least managed to stay out of trouble this year.

I agree that Matthews should be a lock but I'm not sure about that. I polled 18 voters for something I'm working on. That's almost half the voters and the top names that came up the most were Thurman Thomas and Michael Irvin. I would venture a strong guess that both of those players get the nod on Saturday.

 

[AbeBeta]

he did miss 5 games...but had he played the whole yr he was on pace for almost 100 catches and over 1400 yds

thats a dominant season...especially considering we unexpectantly lost Jay Novecek and had absolutely no #2 WR (the yr of the infamous Deion as "both")

Irvin was the best WR in football from 1991-1996, period.

and by the way, the 5 game suspension was a total sham by the league office

David

Had he played the whole year? This isn't about what could have been. Mike got caught with drugs and prostitutes -- he brought ridicule to the team and the league. He was suspended and we lost 3 of those 5 games which pretty much killed us in the playoffs.

But you want to call that a "dominant" season. Puh-lease.

 

[Deputy493]

I agree that Matthews should be a lock but I'm not sure about that.

If Matthews is not a mortal lock nobody should be based on his accomplishments, he is a no brainer. Other than that I agree Irvin and Thurman will get in, but Matthews will and should be unanimous.....if anyone votes no on him they should be removed from the committee immediately.

I pray to the heavens Mike gets in tomorrow. I don't think I could take another thread regarding letters to Hall voters.

Those things are a giggle. Who cares? That form of correspondence couldn't be deleted from my inbox fast enough.

I thought so too at the time. But 2 years later the Cowboys showed me that yes, they could have a worse playoff performance. The AZ game was just brutal viewing.

 

[rangers71]

Not a chance he gets in. I hope to hell I'm wrong but I don't think I am.

 

[5Stars]

If anyone has a quarter...take it out and flip it.

Heads - Mike gets in

Tails - Mike don't get in





Now, go outside and throw the quarter away as far as possible...because him being a Cowboy? What does that tell us....

 

[Idgit]

He gets in tomorrow, and easily.

 

[Crown Royal]

He should.

For all the rubbish we hear when we bring up Aikman & Emmitt, all we ever hear is "Yeah, but consider the team they had AROUND them."

It's funny - if that's true, I wonder why Irvin is thus far the only other player from the 91 & 93 team that has even been considered for the HOF, if all those other players were great.

he got a 5 game suspension unjustly...if you honestly believe he deserved 5 games for what he did, somehting is wrong

and anyone that averages almost 6 catches and 90 yds a game is having a dominant season, especially when you have absolutely zero help
