  1. PM Coach Beard
  2. IBM Selectric typewriter font ball. Interchangeable multiple fonts available. Descendant of the cylindrical font heads on teletypes (TTY).
  3. ... particularly if he is carrying a tool, a musical instrument, or a piece of sports gear.
  4. I choose to believe that Bill is aware that Life Its Own Self is visiting upon him a Karma Rebalance of epic proportions, to make up for having Tom Brady create the myth of the indestructable Coach Belichick for him. He is not happy about it, but he understands the futility of fighting against it... and there are certain benefits attached to the process.
  5. We got fucked because our own conference coaches diddled the rankings, and because Bob Stoops is smarter than Mack - Bob ran up 7 or 8 TDs in every single game, while Mack let the opponents off the hook. We also got fucked because Mack's brilliant game plan put us in a 19-0 hole in Lubbock before we ever scored, including sticking with The Script and handing the ball on basically a draw, to our 250-lb running back standing stock-still seven yards deep in our end zone for a highly-predictable safety.
  6. You say that like there's something wrong with flame-broiling...
  7. It's Louisiana. One half of $17 million is $16 million, the other half is $1 million.
  8. Cam loses credibility by routinely appearing in outfits that seem to have been created for him by L'Oreal's even less discerning little sister.
  9. The best path for us is for committee members to recognize that Texas is the premier team for them to monetize more eyeballs.
  10. This is all anyone needs to know about Lane.
  11. If he gets fired, it'll be "for cause", but probably kept internal and promulgated as "mutually agreed". He'd get a few million to help him get by and keep his mouth shut. He's busting his ass trying to MackBrown his way into the Rose Bowl CFP. Maybe he can do it, and more power to him.
  12. Insightful. DM Del Conte.
  13. Life experience. You wouldn't believe the trouble you can get in by removing the wooden micro-pallet from the bottom of the mini-fridge in your hotel room and leveling the damn thing so you can actually hear yourself think.
  14. There's a whole sloppy thread about how to get into the Group of Twelve with three losses. Yes, it's possible, albeit with extremely low probability. The point here is being ready to play after - let's see: 8 months, two weeks, and two weeks - of time to actually get ready. We weren't, all three times. The stories of personal problems, rehab(s), benders would seem to explain the lack of preparation. If true, it seems entirely reasonable to suppose that CDC has kompromat on Sarkisian sufficient to cover "for cause" firing, if it comes to that. My thought is that Del Conte believes reasonably-sober Steve can helm a winning program, and that he believes Steve can manage his problems. I agree that it's possible, and I think CDC and Sark have had that come-to-Jesus talk, and that it led to a list of achievements required... what we're seeing right now, with Sark advocating tirelessly for that CFP slot, is the result of that meeting and those trquirements. Here's hoping it all works out for all concerned... including us.
  15. It's exactly that simple. Getting into the show with three losses is only possible in extremely rare circumstances, which, as it happened, didn't occur. Not losing the third game, and especially to Florida is the way in. Substituting someone else for Florida is pointless, but you just keep on pointing.
