Methuselah

Malik Nabors is going to be drafted high. I don't follow college football in enough depth to know if there are 10 WR better than him, but it seems doubtful. Some team might take a flyer on JD thinking that if he washes out as QB, his talent might let them turn him into a RB or slot receiver type and use him as a special teams standout.

Dang, that's great news. Thanks for the heads up.

I actually have a set of Band of Brothers DVD's in really great tin, but I haven't had my DVD player hooked up in years, so this will be much more convenient.

For those who haven't watched The Pacific yet - it is good but a bit grittier and darker than BoB and since BoB is pretty much The Goat, Pacific doesn't quite reach those heights. On the plus side, Rami Malek steals the show as cajun Merill 'Snafu" Shelton in a brillant performance.

That kind of takes me by surprise.

Of course, playing Grambling likely helped that. On the other hand, most or all of the SEC teams have played at least one cupcake, and at least LSU has played one legit team.

Fan Sided article

It's kind of an obscure stat, but with so many entities needing to find things to discuss, I guess you'll see everything over time.

I can also tell you that the vast majority of union reps(outside the company) that I have worked with are radical democrats with some being ardent communists.

I've always thought that unions were one of the things that prevented a real struggle between communism and capitalism in our country. Union members tend to be pretty conservative on many social issues. They just want their piece of the pie.

Back before they came about, things like sweat shops, company stores, scrip, child labor, etc were causing real divisions.

I think a relative balance between unions and companies, along with a free press are some of the things that make us unique.

Are they free from corruption? No. But then again, neither are businesses. Heck, all you have to do is read about the old captains of industry. And it exists down to the small entrepreneurs. It's human nature. It's like the old saying about watching sausage being made.

Have you stuck with the same bowl cut or flattop since the first time you sat on the barber chair's child booster seat? Or have you evolved as some of the subsequent styles came into and out of fashion?

I usually keep the same style which is a side part when first cut. If I'm delayed in getting back to the cutters, I may go to a center part until I can get there.

Looking at old pictures, looks like my parents started me off with a crew cut, then went with the combed back Brylcream, Vitalis, VO5 look. (young me looked pretty sharp with the slicked back look). I even tried a mullet very briefly when groups like The Cars were big. Been pretty steady with the standard cut, though.

After losing it all in chemo, I let it grow back and went back to the standard cut. Surprisingly I had less rather than more scattered gray hairs,

Judging by those pics, she wears way too much clothes.

Sexy as hell in the green tank top, though.

Normally, we would blast someone for this, but you have enough gravitas on the board that it's fine. Could have gone with the invest number or whatever they call them while they're forming instead of "Future Hurricane Nigel", though.

There are plenty of places not named Louisiana with good public schools. Or you could drop some OT money and send your kids to boarding school

This. If the majority of people who send their kids to Catholic and other private schools would all send their kids to public school, and get involved with the school, they could have quality public education.

Of course, I understand why any individual parents wouldn't want to be the lead cases and send their kids to public schools as they are now constituted. It would have to be a mass movement, at least in each district.

The movement towards magnet and STEM schools have helped some. Charter schools are a mixed bag so far IMO and the jury is still out on them.

Nice work. Good to see you do one of the good guy's machines. (Though to be honest, I really like the Axis ones you make as well).

It's obvious that the coaches have decided that going with Daniels is the best option. Perhaps they think that he has the higher floor, while Nussmeier may have a higher ceiling, but perhaps a lower floor.

Here is where I differ from most: If they are going to go with Daniels, I think they should gear the offense to his strengths which are running and improvising. Everyone keeps saying he needs to try to improve his passing game by throwing into tighter windows, throwing downfield more, and throwing more and running less.

I disagree. The team needs to maximize what he does best - run. Put in a few more designed running plays for him. I'm not saying go to a full-blown option offense but utilize more option concepts. And quit trying to get him to go against his instincts by going through more progressions. If he thinks he needs to run to salvage a play, let him go with that feeling before it's too late.

I've even thought that they good experiment with putting both Nussmeier and Daniels in the backfield together once in a while. You'd have a strong passing and a strong running threat.
