ETA: WTF is Les Miles thinking

Doesn't that pretty much sum up his coaching career? He just happens to be the luckiest SOB in history.

I don't know. He runs a great program, but he's freaking crazy. You could made an argument that if Nick Saban wasn't in the SEC that Miles would have won another NC last year and be in it this year.I think there are only 2 coaches that I would want other than Miles. Saban and Meyer I know it sounds petty, #####ing about a guy who averages 10 wins a season...but dude is insaine

What did Keys do?

Stiffed K4 on her Secret Santa gift last year and then disappeared from the internet.

He's still very active on the Internet, just not here.

That's interesting. He defriended all of us(?) on Facebook, including people he knew in person like Woz and stryker.

Yeah, I was defriended as well, which I didn't take too terribly personally. But I did get concerned about the guy several months ago when he never came back, so I did some Googling. It appears that he's gotten very, very into Magic the Gathering (I think that's the game), plays online competitively and even flies to various cities for tournaments. It's all there in the public Internet.

Oh.

Watching the Taxslayer.com ( ) Gator Bowl, and aside from MSU's atrocious QB play and coaching, the only other interesting development is NU's use of some crazy oversized picture board for calling in plays. Looks like Coach Ditka is on one of the panels.

it's awesome.Orange Ditka Vegas something...

Totally awesome. Also awesome that Northwestern is about to win.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Can we live bet somewhere that MSU will frag their QB after the game?

WHAT?!? We should have him killed.

No, no. We need to stage a very public fellow wizard intervention, led by Barry the Beige.

OK, so everyone start thinking of some wizard aliai. I think it'll be best if we do this is as a group.

Man, great win for our Wildcats.

This needs to be done somehow on that website, so that we embarrass the hell out of him at his new haunt. And someone needs to be his IRL wicca-loving psycho ex-girlfriend.

He's just there as a figurehead to call timeouts, ##### at the refs, and do all the media work this week. The team asked him to do it. The assistants are doing all the work.

More of a full-figuredhead.Donna Shalala is calling the plays, unfortunately. It's an ugly offense.

Makes about as much sense.

 

[Mr Capicollo]

On the way home at 4AM last night we cameUpon a 5 car 3 fatality accident on PCH. Scary stuff. Cop said the bodies were still on the road and wouldn't let us through. I wish everyone would've been responsible and cabbed last night. :(

It's kind of racist of you to imply that the only way home is a cab for Asian females.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I doubt anyone's ####ed up more than I. I ran at least two wonderful women off (and a 3rd, who was probably the best match I could ever hope for but got wise enough to not marry me). You're a young guy, right? I was serious about the therapy thang. My corporate insurance gave me 7 or 8 free therapy sessions. If yours does, take advantage of it.

Yeah, I've done the therapy thing several times. A couple times during my marriage to try to work things out and again after my divorce. My job also requires me to identify unstated emotions and motivations and I'm damn good at it. So I got this covered

Yeah, but it's different now Gush. You're NOT married now and you thinking/emotions are different. "Once" don't fix it. Plus, you're too smart for your own good.I identify with all of this. You don't need us to break you down, but would it it hurt if you did it to yourself?

Last time I went to therapy I was supposed to have 10 sessions, the therapist cut me off after 3 sessions because I was basically able to unravel it all on my own. I dated one of the top psychiatrists in the city and when she described our first date to her friends, they said it was like dating her. She thought I had some general training in psychiatry because the way I think and approach things apparently follows the basic tenants of how they are trained Not saying there would be no value from it, just that I generally do a pretty good job of psychoanalyzing things on my own

Sorry for hammering you on it, G. I know you're a smart dude and will bring it home safely.

[SofaKings]

Received a couple SS items today.....

A CAT shirt and a new toilet cleaner for Mrs. SLB! Thanks GB Sofa!!

You are welcome but I think there is more.

So everyone got thier SS gift this year? I think I got Keys'd I'm trying to recover from last night. My GB (who homebrews) had a few people over last night. We did fondue. I guess that's why I have blisters in my mouth.

Hammer the Badger today if you like free money.

Nope...didn't get mine.

[Gadzooks]

Sofa: your SS gifts are coming soon

Homer: i had a dream about you last night, weird

Guster: i love you

Thorn: Little Zooks tried to steal my Reeses shirt, i almost kicked him, but my threats were enough to scare him away from it.

SLB/Frosty: if either of you have a new years resolution to get divorced, please let me know.

I haven't gotten out of bed all day. 2013 its shaping up to be "The Year of Zooks"

She has gained a few pounds recently. Should probably cut bait.

[General Malaise]

Quite certain I've gained 30 pounds in the last 10 days. People in Michigan like their food and like their beer and when it's sub-freezing all day every day, there ain't much in the way of outdoor activity. My god...I can't fit in my pants anymore. Will need to wear a towel on the plane ride home.

I took a flight a few weeks ago next to a woman who had split the front of her pants. I think they were sweatpants. They weren't jeans.She also hadn't been on a flight in 20 years, and was freaking out during take-off. But she loved the in-flight trivia game.
