    Just to make sure it doesn't happen.  Mike Leach to WVU.  

    I have been begging for that for 3 years.  Oh, to have him back in the Big 12, and closer to his Florida home, and his personality in Morgantown.

    They should hope not

    I would guess we are going to head in the "non-drunken frat boy" direction this time.  NTTIAWWT

     

    PS;  Also, if this goes down, this will be our first major hire while since being in the Big12, as both Huggins and Dana were here before we joined in 2012.

    Saban is a native West Virginian. It's happening!!!

    Some dumbfuck will be tweeting that by tomorrow night.  Remember that Jimbo is also from WV. 

  4. My buddies and I are now leaning that Dana is going to go, but what the fuck do we know.  The fun will be who his replacement will be.  This will be our AD's first big shot here to show what he has or can do.  Oliver Luck got us into the Big12 and brought us Dana.  Shane Lyons came to us when Luck left.  He was the asst. AD at Alabama.

    I have no idea if these guys have a clue, or not, but this having to be first with breaking news is ridiculous.

    What's funny is that most of us are pretty ambivalent about whether he stays or goes, so maybe that should be a sign that it is time for him to move on, especially if the UH big cigar wants to money whip him.  One can buy a lot of Red Bull with $20MM.

    MHver3 is one of the least credible twats on twitter.

    Is he the same guy that would blog several years ago as something like "thedudefromWV" when the conference realignment stuff was going on?  Damn if he didn't get a lot of internet traction with no knowledge and throwing mountains of shit on a wall.   Never seen someone so wrong so many times.

    Sinn makes some special edition 956 you can see on display at the Frankfurt showroom.

     

    Roadtrip?

    I think I've only seen less than 10 Sinns in the wild since I started really appreciating watches 8 years ago. 

     

    I sometimes think that I have the only one (now two) in West Virginia.

    The woman acted liked an entitled ragey bitch. I wouldn’t want to spend 2 seconds of my life talking to her, but she’s still a her.

    Troph- I will ask the following seriously looking for an opinion, not to mock, and apologize up front if it is offensive. It's not intended.

    Is there a time period when someone is transitioning that if they are still very masculine looking, that unless they are looking for "stares" or "a reaction", that they shouldn't dress outwardly in traditionally female clothes?  To many, it could almost seem that they want a confrontation whether it be a misunderstanding or from someone being a jackass. 

    I think that you and I  have talked about things before at the other site, not about whether or who is right or wrong, but for many of us old folks, what a change this is to our world view in how we were brought up, trained from a religious background, to even a medical/psychological professional standing.  In some ways, trans is harder to comprehend than orientation, because while I cannot judge or say to whom you are attracted to by gender, the outward change of clothing or identity still seems very culturally oriented or biased. Think of a society were men happened to wear skirts and women wore suites or pants.  It doesn't mean anything other than local cultural norms.  With power dynamics changing so much in the past 20-30 years in the workplace or authority, this makes the trans idea or position (without a non-normative orientation) ever more difficult to understand for many.  Again, I'm trying to understand, not judge or bust balls  (yea, that was on purpose... lol)

    As an aside, years ago I had a gay friend tell me, and I'm not sure that I fully agree or not, that what scares most traditional uptight folks is not the outlandish Dore Street Fair gay pride parades with the over the top craziness.  That is easy to make fun of.  He said what scares or is hard to accept is the normal couple of dudes or chicks who buy the house next door and get up and go to work and mow their lawn and walk the dog just like me.

    Fair enough, the geographical reason makes sense. He's seemed out of place in Morgantown. 

    Yea, a little.  Some of the stuff you've see written on the internet is complete bullshit about him and his family and living arrangements and Morgantown.  Heck, one person was writing about his kids being back in Texas ,all the while his son was actually the QB at the high school here in Morgantown and is headed to Bowling Green next year, and Dana's dad is living with him at the house they built here.  Dana can be a bit of a surly bitch, and isn't exactly a corporate smoozer type with alumni.  That's fine if you are winning big, but not so much if you are mediocre, especially with what we had gotten used to the years before he arrived.  Another contract extension that they were working on is stalled right now, but that's just business these days most of the time.  

    Dana is an excellent top notch WR coach, a very good OC, but still after 7 years just a mediocre to "ok" head coach.  Middle of the pack in the Big 12.  Can we get a better one here? Yea, if it is a young one that is just a stepping stone.  Hit or miss there though.  Also, nowadays, maybe 7-8 years is about it for a head coach no matter the level.

    If he and WVU can't get along and part ways and he still wants to be HC, why not?

    Because it's Temple.  Again, he may leave (our current AD didn't hire him, Oliver Luck did), and it may be time for a change for him, but it won't be for Temple.  I could see UH or some mid-west G5 school more likely.

    funny if _iaz goes to Miami and Temple swoops in and takes holgar before UH can lock him up

    He very well may leave, but you are saying that there is a possibility that Dana leaves WVU to go coach Temple?

    some ADs are going to have to play a game of Rich Rich Todd

    it is kind of the opposite of Duck Duck Goose where you go around in circles and put your hand on the head of a coach and the next to last one playing gets Rich Rod and the loser gets Todd Graham

    Saw a story that Rich Rod was in Oxford, Miss this week talking to them about the OC job.

    Just had an amazing night out with 4 of my high school friends. We graduated 38 years ago. Some of the guys I have known since 4th grade. 46 years of my life I have known theses guys. 

    I fell right back into the same bullshitting and checking as I always had with these guys. Nothing had changed. The stories started flowing and I started to wonder. Does everyone have these same friends ?

    Do people still, at least casually hang with friends from 30 or 40 years ago?

    Of course you younger fuckers, 30 thirty and below, can just fuck the right off. But, think about the friend you would have at my age. A friendship as long as your life today?

     

     

    Is "checking" a Texas term for gay butt sex?  Because if so, then no.........NTTIAWWT.
