Your CBI bid is not just about record - it is how many tickets you can sell and if you can reach their minimum financial requirements. If we had stronger attendance last year, we would have been in. If the CBI concerns you, get your friends to go to the games.

Before we get to the thoughtful discussion to come, can I at least point out the disclaimer:

Maybe certain folks would be more comfortable with the GMG.com bowl if it supported her child?

bump - need this thread for work

People are catching on - are we really living the dream...together?

You can't spell "real vision and commitment" without the letters R and V.

Yeah - I know I never shut up about it, but I'm just passionate about things I like - like big business, live theater and Greek tragedies. Eurydice is a complicated biznatch. And I reviewed the shirt in four mirrors last night. It's a light aqua-ish color, but it is definitely green. Did someone say green? GO MEAN GREEN!!!!

I had a big presentation in front of the Board of directors today and really needed to make a good impression. I even wore my lucky kelly green tie to make sure I nailed it. So anyway, I am giving the presentation of my life and get to the budget portion of the event. Let's face it - 2008 was a rough year economically and I don't know when things are going to turn around. So, as I'm speaking about some different yields from investments, I get to one that hasn't quite gone as planned and one of the older guys lets me hear about it. "If I wanted that shitty of an ROI, I'd have fired Coach Dickey and hired a high school coach." Man, I just lose it. I know he is a big wig around these parts with his fancy SMU degree, but I wasn't hearing it. "Why don't we get mf'n June Jones and see how many more wins he has this year against D1 teams!?" I screamed as I lunged across the table with an Eppy paperweight I kept on my slide notes. I just bashed his skull into dust as the other board members looked on in terror. Then, I ripped his head off of his neck and covered my body in his blood, daring the others to attack me as I recited Housman's "To an Athlete Dying Young." Then, I threw his corpse against the table and predicted a 40-33 win this weekend and proceeded to mime out what necrophilia would look like with a headless man. We all had a good laugh about it and - long story short - we got the budget we need to really get our department rolling in 2009 (JUST LIKE TODD DODGE AFTER HE RECRUITS THIS YEAR!) GO MEAN GREEN!!!!111!!!!!!11!!!

They've reached the rarified and coveted "I'm too lazy to discuss or invest in this team, but I'll bitch louder than anyone when they make a trade, lose a close game or get in the playoffs status." They are right on the verge of the coveted "Git sum pitchin'" Rangers fan who heckles Hicks all game and asks you to sit down when the bases are loaded with a full count in the 7th.

and meanwhile San Antonio treads along within striking distance, waiting to let my SA in-laws have another chance to mock us all. Get ready for the Mavs to reach 7-7 and then fall to the Lakers again as the bandwagon gets confused and tries to stop the wagon by dragging their feet, only to suffer horrific feet injuries.

I was running drugs to Cuba last week and had a shipment of heroine tucked up in my colon real nice and tight in a balloon when I heard some funny talking Cuban Mexican ranting about "uno y nueve." I assumed it was a shot at our record and she was wearing blue, so I went into a sick rage. The ballon immediately burst and I was fueled by the strength of thousands of dollars worth of sweet, clean heroine as I picked a shark out of the illegal waters and swung it around by the tail and gashed her face with the teeth. I did this for what felt like hours until I woke up face down in Castro's villa with only my pants on. I turned next to me and realized I was sitting next to what seemed to be his decaying corpse until it immediately shot up and asked me if I thought Patrick Cobbs could keep things up against the Pats this weekend. I slapped him across the face for doubting PC and then stuck a Cuban cigar through his trachea and surfed his bloated corpse all the way back to Miami. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Until we make a financial commitment to more posters and stop trying to stop the leaky dam with our own Adobe-created abortions, we are only going to keep taking on more water. FIX THE PROBLEM!

Those empty seats in the fourth quarter really let Cuban have it.

I'll tell you one thing - you sure as hell ain't winning a Sun Belt title with Johnny Jones.

Playmakerz in your internets, writin up ur redundansees.

It's the perfect storm of shit and unrealistic unions. Just wait until global competition ramps up for airlines and the crap that passes for customer service from the Big 6 is put to the international test. Here's a good analysis to get the convo started: http://www.swelblog.com/

/serious face Agreed - but I miss being worthy of external enemies! /end serious I was talking to Lurleen at the Piggly Wiggly yesterday and she said that we should be embarrassed about how we've managed our program against MTSU. She went on and on about their up and down SBC play and large resume of non-conference wins. So, that made me think. I put on my thinking cap for a few minutes and then looked around the store for a bit until I saw the pet supplies isle. Then, I picked up an oversized chew bone for a puppy and beat Lurleen senseless for making fun of my boys and praising another team. Man, her orbital bone just caved in faster than a Minneapolis overpass!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!111!!

Lol - love the need for the distinction

We do win times of possession most games, which is really awesome for my NCAA TOP Fantasy League. I got UNT and Navy and am totally owning the guy who picked Tech.

Yeah - thank God Crockett showed up to turn that that battle around.

Do all black people look alike to Tennessee folks? That's a pretty weak look-a-like thread.

Check the Texas Monthly cover story sometime if you want to learn what they did. It's pretty genius and funny to see how "Texas Douche" was an active, well designed business decision that will keep them rolling in money for decades. There is really no reason - barring injuries or scandals (which they don't need) - for them to ever be bad again, and it was all based on the vision and hardwork of a few great leaders. They saw whoring the logo was the future of revenue way before everyone else did - so hats off to those magnificent bastards.

Weakest. Texas. Bash. Ever. And you know we share the same opinions here.

Is that why the quality of sports was so much better before the media was invented?
