Wow. Looks like a pick to me.
What a game.

Tell me something, numb nuts. What if I told you that Antonio Gates never played a down of college football? And you think his meteoric rise in the NFL despite never having played college football had nothing to do with the guy who coached his position for the first two years of his career?
Your fucking degree is showing, you fucking moron.
Clearly Brewster is responsible for all the recent success at A&M. Now tell me about Mark Snyder's glowing resume.

I don't expect everyone to do their research on every subject - I don't. But what is reasonable as an expectation is that you do more than judge a guy who has been coaching for 36 years by his one small stint at the HC level. He's produced pro tight ends for multiple schools. He coached and helped develop Antonio Gates into a hall of famer at San Diego. He's been classified as an ace recruiter, with skins on the wall like Vince Young, Natrone Means, Alge Crumpler, Jameis Wintson, Marvin Wilson, and most of the current aggie class, for the last 25 years. If you're simply judging him by the 2-4 games you saw him coach at Minnesota against Ohio State, well, you're simply being another lazy, myopic, thoughtless, stereotypical Ohio State fan. So, I guess, carry on.
Do you think Antonio Gates would be a failure if not for Brewster's coaching? Newsflash: players make coaches more than coaches make players. Every coach claims the best players they've coached on their resume.
I get it. He can recruit.

I think Tech needs to completely blow up their Air Raid identity. It's stale and nowadays that offense is not a mystery to defend. Even if you have a Patrick Mahomes you aren't scaring the top half of the conference. Tech should at least interview Lane Kiffen to get the media going nuts and double message board traffic. Besides, I think Kiffen could make Tech competitive.
He can't even make FAU competitive.

Good position coach, better recruiter imo
That makes sense. Recruiting is key for a new coaching hire.

Good for Tim. Not sure what he sees in Mack at UNC but I wish him nothing but the best. Hate to lose him but that happens.
So is the perception here that Brewster is a good coach? My only impression of him is from when he was the head coach at Minnesota and he was an unmitigated disaster at that job. I really haven't followed his career since then.

Congrats to the Boilermakers for holding on to Brohm. I didn't think it would happen but the athletic dept. at Louisville is kind of a mess right now and Purdue ponied up $5 Million per year to keep him in W. Lafayette. Now they could probably use some big splashy facilities upgrades to help with recruiting. This is great news for the B1G.
Pretty impressive getting a raise to $5 Million when you needed to win your last regular season game just to become bowl eligible. The B1G West is going to be crazy unpredictable the next few years.

We really are at war with autocracy right now. I think we have seen the extent of democracy globally until we resolve this test. We are seeing new battle lines being drawn with Russia and China taking lead and it levied the proverbial nuclear bomb to the heart of it. I hope the power of democracy can eat the blow and repair, stronger than before.
If you want to get really rich, autocracy offers you far more opportunities. Democracy will probably die long before the richest people measure their wealth in trillions.

I disagree with this. Leadership matters. Groups of people are often what they are led to be. To the extent that the GOP is mean and witless it’s because the leaders of the GOP have put a great deal of effort into encouraging that with fiction and fear.
Reagan faced his own version of mean witlessness in the 70s and responded with optimism and infectious good will, and infected even the worst elements in the GOP with it. As much as I do not like the outcomes of many of his policy notions Reagan was a great inspirer of feeling and thus a powerful vector of positive civic energy. The problem with the GOP today is that they have lost all of that, and their value system has metastasized.His "strapping young buck" racist dog whistle was too subtle to fly in today's era of explicit Trumpian racism.
Yeah, a lot of us were fooled by his rah rah rhetoric. We had falling gas prices when we partnered with the Saudis after losing Iran and the OPEC oil embargo ended, he cut taxes and engaged in massive deficit spending sacrificing long term security for short term gain, we hosted the Olympics and dominated them because of the Russian boycott. He gave a good speech and made us feel good for a little bit. But it was all a lie. That's not leadership. That's a con. Just like "trickle down economics."
How many lives have been devestated by his ill-conceived War on Drugs? How many were lost because he refused to acknowledge the AIDS crisis? How much money was wasted on a Star Wars program that the scientific community correctly assessed as fantasy? How many lives were lost in South America because he'd support any death squad if they claimed to be fighting communism?
He wasn't smart. Smart people don't consult astrologers. He was a fucking actor who suckered us with charm and bullshit. Just because it worked doesn't make it less than totally irresponsible.

Yep. The other team just had a big play and the announcer called it with enthusiasm. "Oh my god, he's rooting against MY TEAM!!!"

I don't think the refs usually screw over Texas any more or less than any other team. Reading the football board you'd never know Texas' opponent has been flagged for more penalties & yardage than the Longhorns in 5 of the 8 conference games.
Sports Fan Psychology 101. In every game thread, for every team, win or lose, there will be at least one person complaining that the refs are biased against them.

Around the time when Karl Rove successfully convinced South Carolina that John McCain sired an illegitimate negro child, the GOP saw a huge incentive to begin courting deranged morons into their party. They have finally flooded themselves with angry, emotionally fragile lunatics and the dipshit dildo levee has broken. They are now floating around in that human sewage, helpless to the oily currents of fringe idiocy -- can't win cesspools without 'em, can't get smart conservatives like George Will on board with them. Frankenstein with bumper stickers and loud exhaust pipes is loose and he's not wearing pants.
Eventually they'll learn that intelligent, fiscal conservatism without the screeching flatulence is still in vogue and can win elections. Just stop handing they keys to fat loons selling fear and dick pills.
It started with Reagan inviting the evangelicals into the party and giving the Mystics a voice. Science is out, magical thinking is in.

If he can hire good coordinators, he'll do fine. The ACC second place fiddle position is wide open.
He could bring Everett Withers back. I hear he's available.

Yep. Look up “WKRP - The Complete Series” on Amazon (or wherever). Was released in 2014, I believe. Wife gave it to me 2 Christmases ago. Pure Gold, Daddy-O!
I did. According to the customer reviews, not all the original music is there. Is Dogs? Is Hot Blooded? I'd need to know an exact breakdown before Id want to make the purchase. (I'm not asking you for that, of course.) But I appreciate the tip. I was unaware that they'd released anything after that awful first season release I got suckered into buying before. I'll have to do further research.

They have since released the entire show (all seasons) with original music intact. Soooo much better.
On DVD? It still runs in syndication and it's also on YouTube. (I assume every episode but I don't know for sure.)

I watched the Turkeys Away episode of WKRP in Cincinnati last week (twice, actually). Early in the episode, Mr. Carlson walks into the booth where Dr. Johnny Fever is zoned out playing Dogs by Pink Floyd. At the time, copyright law was such that the producers didn't have to pay royalties to the rights owners of the music if the show was shot on video. So they shot the show on video. Consequently, there was a lot of great music on the show.
They released the first season of WKRP on DVD but couldn't afford to pay the royalties for all the music. So they recorded new music and dubbed it in. It was awful. The scene where Les Nessman dons a wig as he prepares for a date with Jennifer just doesn't work without Foreigner's Hot Blooded as the soundtrack.
They never played more than just short excerpts of any songs. The rights owners should've sold the rights cheap or just given them away so they could release the show on DVD without having to replace the music. I would think the exposure alone would be worth it. They're not gaining anything as it is.

Wreck. Shop.
I haven't watched it in a long time. I can't abide censorship of an episode of Cheers being shown late at night when it wasn't censored on prime time network television. Fucking Puritans.

I like the Hallmark Channel. It took a while but I now realize that the scenes presented in the HC shows are pretty much my dreamworld.
All the women are hot, the dudes are soft, simple and non-competitive, and I would rule the land. If I lived in HC world I would be a combination of Steve Jobs, Wilt Chamberlain and Little Bill from Unforgiven. It aint the Coen brothers and I usually fall asleep, but with the right perspective, I'm in.
Now that I can see the Hallmark Channell clearly, yes Mrs. CoTex, I would like to watch this show with you.
Their censorship is ridiculous. They censor the word "butt."
