At 9 years old I am skeptical that he can help us on the line of scrimmage which imo is our biggest area of concern. ;)

Going forward, let's bunt in every single game this year then! (I am assuming CDH wants to win.) This really could be the year. ;)

I think it's a good thing. Losing innings isn't a big deal as people playing in mop up duty aren't getting real practice. How many time have you seen a team down by 45 points in FB at the start of the 4th quarter score 21 points against the 3rd and 4th team to make the score respectable to the...

I disagree somewhat....I don't think the meaning of that word has changed at all. WTBS, its so overworked and cliche now it has lost its potency.

Pepper had many quality athletes on his teams in addition to the more renowned guys like Kent and Drew Hill, Lucious and Eddie Lee. I got acquainted with a few of them (Don Besseliu (sp?), Roy Simmons , Al richardson, Lawrence (Sweet 'n) Lowe come to mind through mutual friends and there quite a...

Sat next to Coach Bill Curry on a flight from NY to ?. IIRC, he was no longer at Tech but maybe Bama or even Ky. We got an opportunity to chat on various Fb and life topics. To this day, one of the most charismatic people I have ever met in person. Certainly made the flight more enjoyable. I...

Just curious as to what type of work you do? One of my Tech buddies was (before seling out and retiring) a principle in a design and consulting firm in the large commmercial construction field. Some years back, he stopped recruiting at Tech bc he said the Tech kids weren't interested in doing...

Your wife is more than likely a lovely person...but as I said before, I don't believe there has ever been anyone whose opinion I respected who ever used that word in the context that Mack Brown did. It's akin imo to believing in the Easter Bunny or the Great Pumpkin. Perhaps if I ever met your...

I have never met any grown up (M or F) that I ever took seriously use the word "fair" in a sentence, unless it involved Tilt-A-Whirls, corn dogs and tractor pulls. I had no real opinion of Coach Brown until now, but this comment makes him seem like an adolescent imo. Who above 18 in their right...

Of further note, Freer and Moore are engineering majors. The people with the ability to accomplish that AND play D1 P5 sports are very rare indeed. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around that. I know or have known many engineers through the years as well as many guys/gals who played one...

I am the absolute worst at creating thread drift and was aware of this even when a moderator. I am in the minority here but I enjoy the occasional side bar discussions about flying elephants or etymology or whatever infinitely more entertaining/stimulating than any more takes on "do stars...

Although she has never used that specific phrase, this is what my wife has in mind when I am on the Swarm or fishing or playing golf. Or to paraphrase WC Fields....I spent most of my time on wine, women, games and song....the rest of it was wasted along the way.

And honestly, I imagine if I were still working a "real job" (i.e. a "high paying" job), I would be using it too. I used the buzz words liberally (corporate code switching if you will) in my day as I needed the paycheck.Had mouths to feed and bills to pay. Survivalism in the postmodern world. It...

In a weird sense of deja vu, I think that our Congress also closed shop awhile back and forgot to tell anyone, although they do keep cashing the checks. The probability of Congress to intervene in anything in a meaningful way is exactly the same as waiting on Batman, Isis, the Justice League of...

I get the strong sense that the NCAA disbanded a year or two ago and forget to tell anyone. I think the probability of intervention in anything by either the NCAA or any one of the following: Odin,Zeus, Superman, the Great Pumpkin or Jupiter have essentially the same probability.

I left the corporate world about that time. I worked with a process engineer who made up (or copied the idea) of "Corporate BS Bingo". he would pass these cards out anytime we were on a conference call with the fine folks at corporate and it had all the latest jargon and buzzwords on it. If you...

I am curious. How many of you knew that "ideation" is a real word? I didn't until I looked it up but it is a word I have never heard anyone actually use...kind of like the words "chortle", "guffaw", "effete", "eschew" or "insouciant". you see them in books but never hear anyone use them in...

100% agree with the last statement and somewhat agree with the first one as well. With this caveat - it is really, really hard to mess up eggs, grits and bacon! (especially when served to young men in their late teens.) At that age, I thought the V and Zesto's was fine dining and Long John...

I know we are talking at the extremes but the guys I hated playing with (or watching on my team as a fan) is the guy who gets his total points per game via numerous attempts (high x-coordinate, low y-coordinate). Those types have a somewhat immeasurable effect on a team, and it's generally not...

I am in shock and awe. Such optimism and faith in the human condition. I would no more walk into that place expecting a good meal as I would walk into the Skiles building expecting to enjoy the next 90 minutes of a calculus lecture. That place (Ma Tech) robbed me of my youthful enthusiasm. ;)
