  1. Someone hung a 5 foot tall wreath in the hallway at my office. Whenever I leave to go to the bathroom or something, I see this thing in the corner of my eye and it looks like there's a guy, leaning against the wall like some 50's hoodlum. There's not a lot of traffic in this hallway, so it catches me off guard. Like, how did this MF get in? And then I realize it's that fucking wreath.

    When my wife went through breast cancer, I will never forget when the surgeon came out and told me the lymph nodes were clear.  I had been pretty rock steady throughout neoadjuvant chemotherapy and all that entails as a supportive spouse, but when I got that news, I felt like I needed to be mopped off the floor.  Because that really is the big question.

     

    Just a bit of advice, as part of the reconstruction process, she'll have drains.  They tell you in the hospital to keep them clean, etc.  But in the US, at least 10 years ago, they tend to leave the drains in for a while (and you get sent home with them).  What they should tell you is you need to keep a sterile field around those things at all times.  Reconstruction was a lengthy process with multiple infections, but we eventually got it done. 

     

    Working in your favor is that she didn't opt for immediate reconstruction, i.e., spacers immediately following the mastectomy, and she hadn't undergone chemo prior to surgery, which means her immune system is in much better shape than my wife's was.  But don't sleep on those drains.  You cannot have enough rubbing alcohol in residence based on our experience.  Stock up.  And all the best to you guys.

    Oh, the drains. Yeah, she had them after the mastectomy. Yes, I drained them every time she needed it, logged the amount of fluid I took out from each side, and I made sure to swab the fuck out of them with alcohol wipes. She hates the damn things. She got them out on Tuesday but the reconstruction is next Tuesday, so she'll only get a week's worth of relief. She said the drains have been the worst part of this whole thing, by far.

  3. My kids are grown and out of the house, one in another state. Both have kids of their own. My sister has been making some comments about how it isn't fair that they don't get to see my grandkids, and how my dad isn't doing well, blah blah. My sister's kids are losers and don't have (and will never have) kids of their own, which means my grandchildren are the closest she's ever going to get. I have told her and my dad that I can't control where my kids are on Christmas or thanksgiving or whatever holiday. We either have to have multiple get togethers or go without. Nobody wins and I have to hear about it.

    Very few assistants follow you to new job because you are a complete douchebag

    I'm pretty sure when Saban left Michigan State to go to LSU, he told his staff they could come too, and they all said no.

    A head coach leaving most of the time torpedoes a team's chances, except for Michigan basketball Fab Five.

    Not to be a pedant, but the Michigan tourney win predates the fab five. Those stupid fucks never even won the Big Ten, much less an NCAA title.

    So how the fuck did OkSt lock in the UNT coach, the lone G6 guy that is a QB guru and comes with his own QB, while we are seeing the SEC middlings fighting over the scraps?

     

    Make it make sense? How can’t pig, gator, clan aggy, or barn not provide a better option?

    Because Morris saw the last guy hang out for 20 years with only 1 conference title. Just win 8-10 games a year and you can do whatever the fuck you want, while making 7-8 million a year.

    So did OSU and Arky draw straws or something? Golesh’s wife’s family is from that area and might have been the difference. I would have been happy with either but reading about Morris’ QB whispering has me excited for what he’ll bring. 

    The Pistols Firing podcast said OSU told Golesh the offer and he kind of slow played it, wanted to see how the other jobs would shake out. OSU said "Good luck" and pivoted hard to Morris.

    I've heard that Alex Golesh at USF is at the top of the list and we may have already made contact. He was an assistant here in 2008 when he met his wife whose family is not too far away in Arkansas. If he makes the playoff (or maybe even if they fall short) he'll probably get thrown a stupid contract from Auburn, LSU, or Florida, so I'm not sure we can get him even if he wanted to coach here, but would be great. Other than that, I haven't heard anything other than the same names that get published for every opening plus Zac Robinson who I don't think would leave the NFL and who I wouldn't be super excited about anyway since he's never coached college. My guess is that it'll be a P4 coordinator whose name we haven't seen yet. 

    Golesh, Morris and ZRob have all interviewed, according to reports. Golesh and Morris are said to have knocked it out of the park, ZRob not so much.

    Word is they’re gonna support the women’s basketball team in Gallagher Iba Arena. Would be nice to get some crowds

    I've never been to a women's game but for some reason, I'm tempted...
