Woody would have likely moved on the second he knew that a huge part of his job was managing an open transfer portal, the ego's of boosters that essentially bought his starting QB during recruiting, the fact that every team in the Big 10 was going to get big money from a TV contract, and thus, be in play for every player he was thinking of recruiting, etc. Hell, having to be interviewed by Holly Rowe walking off the field would have been a shock. He, like us, would have longed for the days of Jill Arrington.

Unless....someone offered him a lot of money to put up with all that crap. Well, the money flowed, so job security was the next domino to fall.

I hate most of the evolution (I think NIL is fine or the portal is fine, but not both in conjunction) today, but lets not act like they had the problems or the resources back then, because if they did, the second Michigan State hires that day's Mel Tucker....boom goes the dynamite. Taking us back to that timeframe means we are all huddled around a radio 70% of the time and reading box scores in the morning. I prefer this era for the access it gives us, even if it costs folks a lot of money to get rid of a coach. However....with the portal and NIL together, a lot of that will end soon. This isnt becoming the NFL. The NFL has very structured contracts tying a player to a team.

For business travelers, checked bags are the bane of our existence. Unless it significantly reduced boarding time, no chance in hell I would be in favor of standing at baggage claim for 20+ minutes waiting. I have damn near needed a shoe horn and Crisco to get clothes packed in a carry on vs moving to the bigger suitcase just to avoid that crap.

That certainly wont apply to all, but for the ones in the airport multiple times a month for only a night or three of travel, to hell with checking a bag that would only move my wait from sitting in my seat while the plane boards to staring at the conveyor belt trying to determine if a bag tag is mine when I could be in an uber already.

Ha, I should have stated, buddies from different cities. If its all local folks, sure.

I bought my lifetime subscription around 2007 as well. The few times I have switched trucks since then have been fun when the rep tries to tell me that they dont honor it any longer. After an escalation or two, I'm back in business.

I seem to recall this guy, had a flat top and a thick NYC accent. Might have played ball at St. Johns. He's not Steph but Chris Mullin could flat out shoot it.

She sure did, but I think she gets a pass on the cheating thing. Bro one died, bro two (Pitt) left for years and told her to move on, then Bro three stepped in. Why she didnt just move back home as opposed to hanging out with Anthony Hopkins in the middle of nowhere was curious.

If we're talking about movies that were competently made and acted and filmed and everything was put together like it was a real movie but the result was a fricking abomination, then it's The Last Jedi and I will fight you if you disagree.

+1. The Rise of Skywalker was bad, but it is freaking Casablanca compared to The Last Jedi.

He also was tortured in Payback. The toe thing in particular.

His consistent verbal abuse of Darnold last night was funny, but borderline unprofessional at times.

I told my wife that Aikman was going to need a bodyguard to keep Darnold's agent from murdering him. I used to find Aikman boring, but this season he seems like he has been more IDGAF and it has been much better.

i am going to exclude anything I would have chosen to listen to. It would be some song that I would absolutely change but cant due to being in a store or at a kids game with music playing, etc.

From today: "I've got my mind set on you" by George Harrison. I do not like this song. The soccer facility my daughter was playing at had it on. I have hummed it at least two dozen times and cant wait for the jukebox in my brain to find a new go to.
