    I don't think Texas necessarily did either, which is why we've wandered forever between the winds

    Yes. He would immediately start signalling for a ground-rule double.

    Two words. Deloss Dodds. McWilliams' hire took little or no thought or effort on his part. He was also the man whose "nation wide coaching search" for McWilliams' replacement consisted of a plane ride to Champagne, Illinois. The same man who then flew off to hire Gary Barnett and had to be instructed that he was wasting his time there because the next head coach was meeting with the real decision-makers in Atlanta.

    Certainly assures that you're the smartest guy in the room.

    Briles was never considered. He lied and said he was to leverage more money out of Baylor. President Powers was doing Mack's bidding, that's correct; however, Powers didn't want there to be any mistake that the Tower was ultimately calling the shots insofar as the football program. He saw Saban as a threat to that scenario. So, it was a win-win for both. Thereafter Patterson ultimately went on a Dodds-esq "nationwide coaching search" and zeroed in on Strong without much consideration for anyone else- just as Deloss did with Mackovic.

    Trying to seize the moment. Shake things up.

    Is it kid friendly?

    I don''t see Richard Peavy on the list and he single--handedly knocked Marcus Dupree out of college football. That's more than enough for me.

    Just the back?

    We did force Mack out for Strong. Mack did get Saban torpedoed, but he was done either right before or right after the event/convention the coaches attend in NYC at the end of the season. Strong was hired and Mack left town to kill it in Florida pout.

    Liking it, but not loving it. I'll finish it when it occurs to me to watch it. Not compelled enough to binge.

    Yes. I believe they are divorced now. You big dummy.

    I second Wings and Barney Miller. Will throw in the Odd Couple.

    I recommend "Man on the Moon", with Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman. I have not seen it yet, but there is a Netflix documentary on my to-watch-list called "Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond" that is a behind-the-scenes look at Carrey's efforts to play Kaufman. I don't know how to explain Carrey not getting at least an Oscar nomination for his work and can only attribute it to Hollywood not wanting to taking him seriously as an actor.

    Small world. Dude in the old style Astros hat and blue shirt is a buddy of mine. We had season tickets together when MMP first opened. Glad to see he's moving up in the world.

    This podcast has taken a turn for the worse. Two words. "Escape goat."

    Second on the "Atlanta Monster" podcast. I am on Episode 3 and there are some notable discrepancies between "Mindhunter" - Season 2 and the events described in the podcast by those close to the investigation; but, it is riveting and fills-in-the-blanks with great detail. Highly recommend.

    Anyone catch young Ned Stark as "Don't call me Elmer" Wayne Henley? That interview and the Dean Corll murders deserved so much more time. The actress that played Camille Bell should get an Emmy nod. The speech in the church after the Mayor was shouted down by community members is the high point of the season.
