re: Hey UCLA football

They'll be winning 10+ games and competing for the Pac 12/Playoffs in no time.

This has a lot to do with our decision. We are looking at moving this year, we don't have anything tying us down... maybe Arizona, maybe North Carolina, maybe Pennsylvania. All that matters is where the opportunity is. It's a beautiful thing to have that freedom.


Growing up, we were relocated from Michigan-New York-Tennessee-Illinois. My parents had no problems hauling a family of 5 to new states.

I hear this a lot. I said it is as well. Truth be told, it hardly ever happens. Maybe 1/100 times someone actually does this.

Life gets boring after 30 and you have everything.


We were bored. This is difficult to describe, but we felt incredibly stagnant after a certain point. The "slip-up/pregnancy" was the best thing that happened to us.

I thought the same when I was posting my first response.

Why settle with one woman? That just limits your freedom that much more.

My wife and I didn't want kids. We planned on not having them. We had a slip up and now have two kids. I couldn't imagine not having children now.
Really, having kids turned out to be the best things for us.

Prior, we were selfish. We were irresponsible. We were Todd and Margo from A Christmas Vacation. We had no fulfillment or purpose. We worked hard and could only spend so much on a new restaurant, bottle of liquor, drinks at a new bar, trips, etc.

We weren't a an unhappy couple, but we weren't a complete couple. We just had no purpose.

If you don't want kids, then by all means, don't have them. This world has enough shitty parents out there. But I think it is something you should both take some time to just ponder by yourself and then bounce the ideas off together.

Come again? I don't think it's even higher than 1,000 feet. I know that may be mountainous to you Louisiana folk, but not to most others.
I don't get the appeal of Nashville at all.

-Town that builds and brands itself off horrendous music.
-Horrible architecture with no character (rust belt meets hodgepodge, cookie cutter town homes).
-Town that isn't that scenic (very few hills, located on a dirty river, and a dirty lake).
-Town with very little food and drink presence compared to comparable cities.
In your opinion, what are some of the more recognizable license plates on the road?

There's this mythology that Vince Young was Superman


He accumulated 467 total yards and 3 touchdowns:

---30/40 - 75% completion rate - 267 yards
---19 carries - 200 yards - 3 touchdowns

Texas had huge second and fourth quarters from what I remember. They made the plays when they had to, defensively and offensively. If that isn't telling, then I don't know what is.
Does he even like or claim Purdue?

Pretty funny how he is only working part-time this upcoming month. No big deal. You're just the head coach of a P5 team.

Yeah because having 5 Power Conferences and only 4 available slots makes a lot of sense.

I'm not saying that Thursday night games are great for the players, but I've found most of the losing teams are the ones who complain about having to play them.
I love it at first. You have the Christmas lights up, warm and comfy home, hearty soups and pot pies, hot coffee and hot chocolate...

re: Notre Dame, LSU who you got?

I think Guice and Key won't suit up for LSU.

Notre Dame - 23
LSU - 21
Which day would you rather have off?
Are you bitter about being taxed for having to educate them?
What are cameras going to do about it?
As someone who doesn't know much about Tennessee, what makes the job so unattractive?

-Poor administration and fan support?
-Revolving doors of Athletic Directors?
-No money?
-Poor recruiting grounds?
-Constant instability?
-Is Knoxville a terrible place to relocate or raise a family?

On the surface, everything looks great. Tennessee appears to be a vertical move to most of the coaches they have been targeting (Gundy - Oklahoma State, Brohm - Purdue, Cutcliff - Duke).

It wasn't that far removed that they were beating a strong Michigan team in 2002 and winning the SEC East in 2007. What's going on here? How did they get to this point?

Talk about settling. Nebraska should be all-in on Frost.
I really thought he'd be signed up at Oregon State. It seems like a perfect, mutual fit for the two.
That's pretty surprising to me.

-Gundy is known not to see things eye to eye with Pickens.

-Tennessee is, historically, a better program than Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State is always second fiddle to the University of Oklahoma. Although Tennessee has struggled lately against Vanderbilt, they are still the premier program of the state.

-I assume recruiting is much easier in Tennessee (Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and the close proximity to Atlanta).

-Maybe Gundy is comfortable with Oklahoma State's expectations and is well-paid. Tennessee plopping down $7 million probably wouldn't be content with losing to Alabama, Georgia, and Florida every year. Oklahoma State is fine with beating OU and Texas every so often.
I'm surprised he hasn't thrown in the towel. He's won two Super Bowls and has been in the league for what - 14, 15 seasons now? He's made plenty of money and he never struck me as that guy that just lived and breathed football or New York City for that matter.

He could buy or build an amazing home in New Orleans or the downtown Square in Oxford and kick back.

I'm fully aware that he's a former player (QB) and this may be his dream job (I'm nor really sure one way or the other).

He's a phenomenal coach and always has his team playing above their abilities. Wisconsin...pound for pound...arguably gets the most out of their players' abilities.

I think he'd be a consistent winner at one of these programs.
I'm just worried about seeing two rematches:

Clemson-Auburn
Alabama-Auburn in the Championship
That score sums up Bennett and Bo Ryan/Gard basketball for you.
