Texas ATM and future recruiting - ThatsAllSheWrote on 11/24/12 at 7:56 pmWith A&M surprising in the SEC and Manziel looking like a shoe in for the Heisman I'm afraid they are going to be a very tough adversary in recruiting for LSU. What HS player isn't going to want to play with Johnny Football for the next three years? Ironicallly its Miles that is going to have t...
re: Will the fanbase show character and provide the needed emotional edge - ThatsAllSheWrote on 10/8/12 at 10:45 pmWhat am I talking about? I answered your question and you replied with how stupid it was. That's when I defended my answer by stating you're probably a sunshine pumper. That's all. You're asking a fricking question then don't get all critical about the answers you get....
re: Will the fanbase show character and provide the needed emotional edge - ThatsAllSheWrote on 10/8/12 at 10:36 pmDude, did i hurt your feelings by critzing LSU. It's a message board....on the Internet. If you want to have sunshine pumped up your arse simply skip over the posts you deem as too negative for you and move on to the cheerful posts. No need to respond to me dickhead....
Game Changing Play - ThatsAllSheWrote on 10/8/12 at 9:39 pmAmazing how the entire momentum of the game changed when the Charger pass rusher was called for knocking Brees down after the interception. I thoughts for sure it was 31-14 and GAME OVER. ...
re: Call me a poor sport, I don't give a shit, umps fricked us all tour - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/7/10 at 8:46 amHere's how you fix the ump issue. Earn the luxury of hosting a regional by having a winning record in the conference. That way the shitty calls will go your way. We get those kind of calls all the time when the games are played at the Box....
re: Reason for token cleanup effort by BP - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/4/10 at 7:32 pmBP net worth is around 120B from what I recall. However I think people are underestimating the cost of this thing if it runs until august. Claims could easily reach into 100B. The Florida tourist industry alone is worth 60B. Then the seafood industry. I saw the other day that 1/3 of the GOM is ...
re: Reason for token cleanup effort by BP - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/4/10 at 4:56 pmIt would be my guess if this leak continues as is for another 2 months the claims against BP will far exceed BP's assets. This is not inconceivable given the location of this disaster....and yes I'm aware of the strength of BP's balance sheet....
Reason for token cleanup effort by BP - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/4/10 at 4:33 pmIf this thing runs unchecked into August or later I think BP will more than likely be forced into filing for bankruptcy I believe the reason we're not seeing any significant outlay for cleanup efforts is because they are waiting to until they can get accurate loss estimates. We all know that'll hap...
re: Why not build a massive containment dome... - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/4/10 at 11:47 am[quote]A cofferdam like that was actually Plan A. They tried it and it failed.[/quote]
That was placed over the broken riser and they didn't plan for the hydrate build up. With lessons learned and increasing the size of the dome seems like they could make that idea work....
Why not build a massive containment dome... - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/4/10 at 11:44 amWhy couldn't BP build a massive dome that would cover the entire BOP? I'm talking something along the lines of 10 stories tall and 100ft in diameter. Plumb the thing so they could circulate hot water throughout to prevent hydrate build up. Seems like this little top hat doesn't have a chance i...
re: Links to live feeds from remotely operated vehicles (ROV) - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/4/10 at 9:17 am[quote]just saw a clip from a morning interview where Doug Suttles said there are currently 4 open valves that they will be closing throughout the day today[/quote]
I also read this somewhere. Amazing how BP always manages to leave some glimer of hope dangling out there. The only thing they've...
re: BP CEO Tony Hayward: "I want my life back" WTF!!!!! - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/2/10 at 1:48 pmI'm sure it was an honest mistake but this is definitely a major gaffe on Hayward's part. Imagine how upsetting a comment like this would be to one of the family members of the 11 people that were killed....
re: Saw is Stuck - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/2/10 at 9:30 am[quote]Well in their defense it had to be a perfect storm of things going wrong for this to happen (I'm talking about 4 or 5 things had to fail...)[/quote]
True. But it'll be interesting once all the facts come out and whether or not pure negligence contriubuted to these failures. My car has a...
re: Saw is Stuck - ThatsAllSheWrote on 6/2/10 at 9:15 am[quote]It astounds me how people don't get the complexity of the remediation operations..[/quote]
I think the average person does understand this is difficult. However I also think the average person is frustrated that BP (and others) have been conducting drilling operations in an environment wh...
re: Links to live feeds from remotely operated vehicles (ROV) - ThatsAllSheWrote on 5/28/10 at 7:54 am[quote]theres your problem[/quote]
Now I know I'm really reaching but maybe they could use that 100 ton containment dome that's sitting on the bottom the ocean to reclaim the mud. Recirculate it over and over....
re: Links to live feeds from remotely operated vehicles (ROV) - ThatsAllSheWrote on 5/28/10 at 7:45 amJust a thought. If BP is able to keep the oil at bay by pumping in mud then why stop even if it won't form a permanent seal? Keep sending the mud down until the relief wells are complete. This is what I suspect will happen assuming there is enough mud available. Can anyone with industry knowledg...
re: If a storm this year brushes the coastline - ThatsAllSheWrote on 5/28/10 at 4:28 amLike the old saying goes the solution to pollution is dilution. In other words spreading the oil over a larger area of the gulf and coast line might be a good thing rather than have it all concerntrated in one spot. This is all assuming they stop the damn leak....
re: Washington post: Top kill failed so far - ThatsAllSheWrote on 5/27/10 at 9:57 pm[quote]I'm wondering if Obama wishes he could go back in time a few hrs and not accept responsibity for stopping the leak, now that he knows it isn't working. I believe the DC folks actually thought this would work and that's why Obama came out and wanted to take responsibility as they were going to...
re: Links to live feeds from remotely operated vehicles (ROV) - ThatsAllSheWrote on 5/27/10 at 6:55 pmJudge - no problem. I don't mean to be pessimistic but I'm very pissed off right now (as many are) about this situation. I assure you I'm not a casual observer that is looking for any opportunity to spout negativity. I have a vested interest in this as well and want nothing more than to see this ...
re: Washington post: Top kill failed so far - ThatsAllSheWrote on 5/27/10 at 6:19 pm[quote]they're stopping it to see how it had progressed[/quote]
Translation. It's not working and by the way we're sorry we didn't tell anyone we stopped the ops. Too much oil is going out of the riser and not going down the hole....
re: Washington post: Top kill failed so far - ThatsAllSheWrote on 5/27/10 at 6:16 pmI've been very optimistic about this until now but I'm starting to get extremely concerned. The only purpose for these attempts to plug the well appear to be to appease the public while they drill the relief well. I'm beginning to doubt that BP can even pull the relief well off. This could be one o...
re: Links to live feeds from remotely operated vehicles (ROV) - ThatsAllSheWrote on 5/27/10 at 6:05 pmBP COO just said that they are finding that too much mud is escaping out of the riser. They "need to make adjustments". Unfortunately it appears to me that BP is beginning the process of slowly letting the world know the top kill isn't going to work. :banghead:...
