    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...

    Interesting, I'm really curious about this.  Do you know what they were doing with Chase and Zelle?  Were they receiving payments through Zelle?  I can't imagine why Chase would cancel anything if you were just sending money.  Could it be possible these people weren't maintaining a checking account balance with Chase (i.e. just passing money through) such that it wasn't profitable for Chase?

    Several years ago, I heard that zelle was used for illegal transactions, i.e. drugs. It got popular through word of mouth and of course, people can't keep a secret, so it came under harsh scrutiny. Now zelle is "frowned upon".

    Anthony Thompson was a stud at RB for them back in the day and Randle El was good as well. Was a good little rivalry with UK with some good close games between them. 

    AT should've won the Heisman. No disrespect but fuck Andre Ware. 

    Randle El was ruined by Cam Cameron.

  5. My dad was born and raised in Bloomington. I have heard all of the lore and legends about the basketball team for 50 years. But football? Only "The Rose Bowl Team" was ever mentioned. No, they didn't say what year it was, as it only happened once. 

    One time, while visiting family, I said "Hey, why not drive past the football stadium?", my uncle looked at me like I was retarded and said "Why would we go over there? Nothing to see".  This little renaissance has been amazing, I almost don't believe it. 

  6. If you are too short, or too fat, or your windows don't roll down, GTFO of the drive-thru. I can't stand seeing stupid fucks trying to calculate how far they need to pull forward but still being able to stretch their arm back and reach the window. Go park your car and waddle inside.

    The highlight was Aykroyd's eugology ("John was grand")

    I thought this part might have been the part of the whole film.  I told my buddy that it sucks to think that no one would ever speak about me in this way.

    My wife and I are going to London next week for 4 nights.  Just a quick getaway.  We are squared away on almost everything, but she wants to fit in some shopping, more of the higher end variety.  What's the best market/area for that?

    Knightsbridge or South Kensington. Or just go up and down Oxford street and Regent street.

    My SIL was a dental hygienist for years. She was always pressured to "upsell" procedures. Her dentist would send her to seminars that had nothing to do with dental work. It was all about selling additional treatments.

    My current dentist quoted me $2300 for a crown. I refuse to pay that much. He can retire at 50 on someone else's $$$. I called a friend who has been a dentist for 35 years and runs a small single dentist practice. He quoted me 1/3 that price. 

    And the biggest dental scams are places like Aspen dental. They pressure the unsuspecting public into unnecessary dental work worse than time share salesmen. 

    25 years ago, I moved and found a new dentist near my house. I have a very small chip on one of my front teeth, I don't even know how I got it. But the guy would mention it every fucking time I saw him. "Say, you wanna get that chip fixed? We can take care of it!!". After 2-3 visits with this guy, I ditched his ass. Just clean my teeth, FFS.

    Not one of the dentists I've seen since then have mentioned the chip.

  10. Cig ain't going anywhere. He already makes 9MM+ and his buyout is 56MM+. The university has a shit-ton of money, fucking Mark Cuban just donated money to athletics for the first time ever. He's coached 19 games and he's already a legend. Plus he's already 64. He owns Bloomington.

    They had texted me a couple of days ago from my credit union's number

    I got a call from scammers. I guess they had spoofed the number from my CU, the same number I've been calling for 35+ years, I know it by heart. They had an indian accent, but don't 90% of these call center people these days? They tried texting me codes and shit but they wouldn't go through. I got suspicious and hung up. Called my CU, got the usual Okie accented chick and was informed that I had been duped. At least they hadn't been able to access my account.

    What ruined it for them was that their accent was so fucking thick, I could hardly make out what he was saying. If they had used an AI voice thing, I def could've been fucked.

  12. Well, my daughter has offically moved away. She and her son were staying with us for the last week to wrap up things here before joining her husband. I still think it's a poor decision and we aren't being told the whole story, but I'm trying not to dwell on the negative. I miss having my grandson around. I was in the guest bathroom and saw his baby wash/shampoo and got sad. They're supposed to be back in a few weeks for my birthday, so I have that to look forward to. And my other daughter and granddaughter are still just across town, not even 10 minutes away.

    The sun will rise tomorrow. (And it'll be right in my damn eyes, as I drive due east to work)

  13. The standard work day should end at 3:00 pm. Nobody gives a shit after 3. Only morons who can't get their shit together and are always late (i.e. women), try and do shit right before 5. Just sit on it till tomorrow, please.

    Obviously this doesn't apply to the usual suspects of police, fire, hospital, etc. Just us office fucks.

  14. I tried to buy an Ioniq 5 twice, from 2 different dealerships. One pulled a bait and switch on the price "Oh that online price (that doesn't mention leasing at all) is only for leasing the car". The other lowballed the shit out of my trade, buy the tune of $6000. When I showed their sales mgr my carmax offer, he told me they couldn't match it, as carmax has "no overhead", and said I should sell it to carmax and return to buy his car. I told him sure, and that he should definitely hold his breath as he awaits my return. 

    I wound up getting a Model Y back in June and I really like it. Not buying gas is just awesome. 

  15. It kind of sounds like you're bragging that your wife doesn't treat you like a fucking weatherman. "Do I need a coat today? What's the weather supposed to be today? Is it supposed to rain today?". I've told her 1000 times that she has a weather app on her phone, which is apparently glued to her fucking hand, but my words go unnoticed.
