  1. But his real name is Mr. Earl.
  2. Yeah, that's some solid reporting, all right.
  3. For me, I think it was the fact that they had clothes on.
  4. How can you possibly have 677 posts and not know that it's always his fault.
  5. Maybe it was just the camera angle, but when Lam took the baton he just seemed to explode past folks. Jesus, he could fly. T&P, man, T&P.
  6. Worse announcers I've ever heard. And that includes Loel Passe and Milo Hamilton
  7. At some point in the far, far distant past I may have given a fuck about Howard Stern.
  8. Even Daniel Snyder's not that dumb.
  9. . . . but TCU bought him his own 7-11 so he could rob it any time he wanted to . . .
  10. We're gonna' need a bigger bot.
  11. From what I've seen, Hand does fit the above description, and it's a breath of fresh air. There's been a lot of (justifiable) carping on this board about certain of our assistant coaches who either can't recruit, can't teach, or both. It seems so fundamental: First, if at all possible, get one who's good at both. If you can't, at all costs stay away from unacceptably minimal ability to contribute to one of the above facets. Then, if you have to settle for, say, a 60-40 65-35 mix, make it 60-65%% recruiting--GA's, analysts, ex-NFL program volunteers, somebody can coach 'em up--just get the talent in here.
  12. Agree, reluctantly. There was a time, early in his tenure here, when we really needed a contribution from him. Now, not so much, but still, another contributing OL would have been great-depth-wise. BTW, as you doubtless know, "semi-reliable Surly hearsay" is an oxymoron.
  13. Has there been anything definitive announced by Herman/the school on Patrick Hudson? I know he's currently not on the roster, but is that a permanent situation or is he rehabilitating with the possibility of coming back? It looks like he's gone but it would be nice to know something, one way or the other. I remember being elated when we got him out of the Rapelor meltdown, but now it looks like his chances of contributing are all but nonexistent.
  14. Maybe he'll become the poster boy for "Damn, I shoulda' listened to the coaches and stayed for my senior year."
  15. Crash Davis was in The Show for a cup of coffee, too. Then he set the minor league record for homers.
  16. The practical effect of those extra-early games is that the participants get more sanctioned teaching/practice time throughout the season. They get to start fall camp early, then also work during their schedule's off-weeks. Everybody covets bowl game appearances because of the extra weeks of teaching/practice. This is the same thing, only just for one week. Still, it's got to help.
  17. And why would they fudge the height and not "fix" the wingspan/arm length?
  18. Start a whorehouse; run it by hand until you make enough to get a few girls.
  19. Leave the fuckin' dirt burglars out of this discussion.
  20. Are we sure McCoy will be eligible?
