I;'m not sure about that. I think rather that Smith thought this was an inevitable consequence of widespread adoption of markets. This is one reason why he had no particular qualms about governments stepping in to keep hangs straight. Wealth of Nations is largely taken up with what the...

I enjoy acting like a boomer. And telling young people off when they get on my case about it. It's a good history lesson for them to suddenly realize that their elders went through stuff they can just barely imagine. I usually start out, "Alright, show of hands: how many of you know how to bring...

Ah, but remember what Smith said: “People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.” Yep. That's it alright.

Bingo. It isn't as if you can't get in trouble more easily in urban areas. You can. The problem is that the hypotheses is incorrect. There's a reason cities are so big and people abandon rural life so quickly when they have a chance. Cities are fun (hence the trouble) and that's where the...

That sound you just heard is my breath letting out after learning that Smith was coming back. The RB room now has 3 decent members. Maybe out OL will improve enough to allow Faulkner to give him 15 - 20 carriers a game. Somebody has to do that for the run game to work. Let him have enough time...

Coach Leach is right, of course, and I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't see this first. It is a matter of distribution and getting all the skill players involved from sideline to sideline. Both Os had this in spades and still do. I sure do hope that Tech gets back to this, one way or the other...

One thing to remember here is that, like Bean says in the book and the movie, his thing doesn't help in the post-season. The number of games is too small and the teams too well matched for any kind of metric to work except bum luck. The whole Moneyball thing is using metrics to get to the...

As in: I think Paul would agree with you. Key too, I expect. Fromayan was one in a long line of OLs getting chewed out for missing assignments.

I htink Billy Bean proved that you can't have one without the other.

Well, this is a welcome change from the SCHEDULES FROM HELL Tech has had to face for the last three years. At least Tech has a fighting chance against most of this schedule, provided we can get our many, many O issues solved during the spring and fall practices. And that will, I think will be a...

Well;, this is just awful. I loved Mike Leach as a coach and a person. As Coach Kingsbury said, football "… was better because of Mike Leach and is far less interesting without him." Truer words were never spoken. I especially feel for the Good Dogs. He was poised to make MSU an SEC power...

And if he does well, he may very well leave Tech for a higher salary. But I'm assuming that the incentives in the contract - and, of course, a renegotiation if he wins consistently - will make Brent's situation more competitive. Besides the obvious love for Tech he has, I think Brent's...

Now, will someone tell me if the staff is trying to talk Knight out of leaving? Since he is, you know, the most experienced LB on the roster, a physical phenomenon, and, apparently, what we need.

Oops. I didn't realize that. Sorry, PVDad; you would know best, of course, and your take on the situation is very encouraging!

Clavicle injuries can be tricky to heal. Obviously, both the coaches and Taisun have a better view of how Pyron's is working out. I'm hoping he'll be cleared for the spring, but I'm betting he won't be. He ought to be ready to Rambo by fall, but …

Given that there is absolutely no guarantee that Pyron will be ready to play in the fall, much less in the spring, I'm surprised that Phommachanh is thinking about the portal. There's nothing to say that he couldn't beat out Gibson and, if he started in the fall, Pyron might never see the field...

FIFY. With Smith you have to give him opportunities. With our OL most of last year, he was going to be stopped in his tracks many times. More carries = more opportunities to break a long run. And, with a full head of steam, there aren't many people who can catch Dontae from behind. He needs...

I wish he could stay, but time's up. And, like Mason last year, some pro team will get a whole lot more than they bargained for with Thomas. He's one of those special players who goes to the ball like a heat-seeking missle on every play. Fast too. Someone will probably be tempted to make an SS...

There'a a difference between selectivity and snobbishness. A snob is selective because of the antecedents of the people involved. "He's not our kind of people." So when Harvard and Yale didn't admit Jews, it was because they didn't want "that kind of people" to be in their circles and thought...

And you're right. About both the kids and the other stuff. See: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2021/10/08/want-to-be-a-billionaire-these-are-the-most-popular-majors-of-the-richest-americans/?sh=4b2b83a526ef NB: 2 of the top 6 are lib arts degrees. Including (ahem) number 4: political...
