Yep. That's why I love that picture of Linus and Lucy. The look on Linus's face....he knows he shouldn't do it. I mean, he's not stupid and he's seen this movie before. But...the possibility that maybe, just maybe, he'll get to kick it this time has him thinking "What can go wrong?" ;)

Yup. Me too. Sigh.

That might be awesome. I could get other people to pay for my sports-watching :) Isn't Bally already starting down this path? I realize that it is Sinclair + someone else and they just sold the naming rights to Bally, but that's where they are going don't you think?

Yeah, I struggle to understand what our value proposition is with high-end coaches much like I'm struggling to understand what our primary pitch should be to 4+* players. If the coaches (and players, now) are really special we are just a stop along the way to better things. The only thing that...

And it was the only time I could get away with drinking a Zima!

What makes you think any information from the AJC is worth $0.50? I've seen no evidence to support that through a few dozen years...

I'd veto VT and Miami from being a permanent if I had the power. I like Clemson, Duke and FSU/UVA.

The IRS cares.

Yes, it's a classic mistake for leaders. Not understanding who is 'their team.' Bad leaders think that 'their team' is made up of the people who report to them. They often rally 'their team' in ways that isolate it, alienating their peers and stakeholders and ultimately create an increasingly...

If being a con-man was the goal then the strategy was never "Fake it till you make it." It was always "Fake it until they figure you out." That's a different strategy. I don't believe that CGC set out to do anything other than what he's stated. And I never attribute to conspiracy that which is...

Well, it does beat being a miserable pessimist who keeps looking and looking until they find something to whine about and then wondering why they don't have any friends who'll listen to them anymore.

And proof that "Fake it till you make it" is a bad strategy.

The portal has taken a lot of the fun of college football away. You used to be able to see a guy get recruited, and wonder about how he'd develop, then root for him as he progressed. Now, you see a guy get recruited and just wonder how long he'll be around. I'm no longer loyal to them as many of...

It's one thing to express frustration, particularly occasionally. It's another thing entirely to actively try to convince others to be miserable and frustrated as well. Or, even worse, belittle them because they aren't as miserable as you.

Ug. Tell me about it. Steel prices went up 2.5% per month last year. A project we are working on is up well over 50% of the initial estimate from last spring. This is what's going to burst the bubble...inflation will put a stop to new construction projects, which will see a huge drop in jobs...

So do we five think that this strategy or just happenstance? You could, strategically, decide we'll only recruit above a certain level and use the portal for any gaps we can't fill by targeting four-star kids who aren't happy having to wait behind three five-stars.

At this point of the season all we have is talk. So I'm not real sure what your point is here. All he can do is talk. All we can do is listen and speculate. If you aren't into one of those two things then coming to The Swarm is probably a waste of time for you right now.

FIFY

By "portal" do you mean that thing that throws light across the darkened kitchen when I open its door around midnight?
