  1. I think the last number I read was a little under 6 million. It seems he’s good with that along with better assistant pay and facilities upgrades. I guess that’s alright and his family live in his neighborhood. If that is what brings him happiness good on Dillingham. I obviously would like him to stick around and make ASU into a top 15 team each year. That seems doable if there is money to be spent on, oh I don’t know, GOOD OFFENSIVE LINEMEN. Not sure how Raleek Brown did as well as he did this past season with that line in front of him.
  2. Just pay the man. He cares about the school and spending on the football program could get the school closer to being financially solvent with the athletic program. Breaking even overall would be an accomplishment and keeping Dillingham should be the top priority for the administration on the athletic side of things.
  3. The best part of getting older is you’re still here experiencing life. I have a friend who is a comedian that made a joke about that once during a show that was basically “I’m 20 years older than you, but if I died today I got to experience so much more life than you.” It was a lot more to it than that, but basically getting older is cool. It sucks that Rob and his wife had their lives cut short, but what a 78 years he had on this planet. He impacted millions of people in a good way and he left behind a fantastic legacy of who he was as a person, not to even mention what he accomplished in his professional life.
  4. Well yeah I learned that from The Waterboy!
  5. The conference this year was Tech and 15 randos. No one else in the conference did anything that mattered, including ASU. The runner-up in the conference had two shots at Tech this year. They totaled 14 points in 8 quarters. They had a grand total of 455 yards IN EIGHT QUARTERS of play. I will never not find this funny when it comes to BYU supposedly being good at football now. They are not and will not be. However, Tech can’t help any of that. Their money guys threw obscene amounts of it at the team and it worked out. Money won’t win it every year, especially when the head coach is a middling buffoon that would have been fired and looking for a job right now if not for getting that cash infusion. McGuire is who he is and he’ll hold Tech back until Tech realizes it needs an elite head coach to go along with the players. Tech’s defense should be good enough to keep them in the game no matter who they play in the playoffs. Offensively I am not convinced because they don’t really have an extra gear there. Defensively though I like them and @Iceman deserves something good from the football program after having to watch those clowns toss Leach out in favor of the James Family. I’ll also pull for Tech because one of my best friends had a daughter who played soccer for Tech and was really good before she graduated and went overseas to play professionally. I also always enjoyed the teams coached by the Pirate so Guns Up! Wreck ‘em Tech! Bring some tortillas to toss in the playoffs.
  6. It was a beautiful movie start to finish. I loved it. The friendship he forges with the retired actor was pretty emotional to watch. Japanese culture is different, but in a good way and this is part of what makes it good.
  7. Tee that man’s face up and hit it with a frying pan repeatedly. Just the worst human beings.
  8. Kansei didn’t win the Lou Groza award, but he’s a first team All-American which seems to be a nicer accomplishment. He’s the first one to make the first team in the history of Hawai’i football. Really happy for the young fella.
  9. I mean what does it even mean to salute the vets by giving them this match-up? Is this some form of art imitates life college football-style?
  10. I can’t remember what I was doing 30 minutes ago, but I see that 57 Oilers jersey and immediately can recall Lamar Lathan. The human mind is pretty humorous.
  11. My high school used that as their motto back in the 80’s. “We may be small, but we’re slow.” Got them five straight district titles.
  12. Who wants to be the person who tries to play the course wearing a shirt with a picture of Obama on it?
  13. Before there was Shohei Ohtani there was TFG. He was so good at baseball that people begged him to give up the sport because he was dominating it at a level that wasn’t fair.
  14. If I came into that level of money the only thing I’d do is build a moderately sized house in a South Pacific country and give the rest away to people in that country who need it.
  15. Should’ve went. Could’ve gone as the pedo bear for that game.
  16. Because teenagers don’t care about being annoying.
  17. I’m glad SOC is ruling the roost like this. I hope they go on a title streak like the basketball team did 20 years ago. DISD got laughed at for so long about no commitment to football that it’s pretty cool that SOC was the one to bust down the door and stay relevant.
  18. Well there you go. That’s a good reason. The Horns have had some phenomenal backs over that span. Ricky is still my favorite.
  19. I shouldn’t laugh, but that’s hilariously funny. Can’t wait to see Mickey and Minnie’s Bonnie and Clyde remake.
  20. I mean how is this possible? This is a school that had Bettis, Lee Benton (great college back), Ricky Watters and a whole host of other talented backs over the years. It doesn’t seem possible.
  21. Not as upset as the employees you pay like day laborers.
  22. So how does one guy claim three different awards? It’s cool and whatnot and doesn’t matter, but just more curious than anything. I don’t keep up real well with this stuff.
  23. I like their coffee and their main location is right down the way from me. I’ll be buying that for sure.
  24. Your understanding of fascism is something. I don’t care one iota whether you agree or not. He asked the same question repeatedly. I answered it the first time and he kept asking the question even though I answered. That’s it. Your state is a clown show and your state is getting exactly the representation that it desires. She has an 0.0 percent chance of winning a senate seat in a state run by fascists and is wasting the time of a candidate that has a greater than zero chance (Not much, but greater than 0) of winning so yes this is a waste of 3 or 4 months of time doing this.
  25. He drained the swamp the same way Houston does. Clean it up and then deluge it with the next big hurricane. He’s Hurricane TFG. He drained the swamp and installed a bigger and better swamp that you’re not gonna believe!
