Oh, Coop.

You really are a sad little man.

Very true, graysnail, unfortunately.

As for NolaCane, no you are not back, and you will not be back until you get a decent OC. Beating a crippled VPI, whose offense was anemic when healthy to start with, does not prove anything.

Given the way things are heading, I see Miami losing to Tech, so that everything will make sense again.

Nobody in the ACC is scared of Miami’s return, certainly not their former coach who is about to win the ACC title with inferior players.

In the ACC, “do your thing” means an upset loss, Coop.

Orson hit it on the head week 2. Go ahead and shut the door on us, but we are 7-3, 6 points from 9-1 and we played Florida closer than anyone this side of Ole Miss.

And we play all freshmen.

Go on ahead and ignore, we are reloaded and we will see you in August.

Alright, Carolina. Do your thing versus the Twerps on Saturday, and you will, then State, only school in the nation with a campus uglier than SCar’s, and if you are lucky enough to get past the fightin’ Cutcliffes, we are are a tough out…

on to Tampa to work the Florida School For Women or the Baptists.

Then, hopefully Tejas or Oklahoma arrives for an ACC upset.

Oh, and I hear the Vols have already realized what everyone in the ACC already knows, and are now interested in pirates. Not like we did not see Butch not leaving or anything.

Shocking, really…

If VT won this game, I would have just spent the rest of the season for John Swofford to take off his human mask and reveal a robot Coach K sent to destroy ACC football.

What are cover letters?

@BigHead – I used to be, so I completely understand.

My cover letters are about as generic as possible, but every print reporter job has different specs, so I have to write a new letter every time. It’s fucking maddening, especially since the cover letter is just a weed-out and the actual content is largely irrelevant. Even then, I keep mine to four paragraphs, only two of which are new by any definition of the term. It’s a good thing I’m a great interview because my documents are for shit. Always take notes in the interview, kids. That’s a tip.

I’m in radio, so we are expected to be half retarded.

@26 – That’s the way to do it. And sometimes I’m too lazy to do even the change the name of the potential employer bit. And I”M A WRITER! (No matter how much the current gig has tried to turn me into a graphic designer.)

There is a certain eeriness to watching a Miami game at the stadium formerly known as Joe Robbie. I blame the combination of the tropical night and the lack of people in the stands.

@ She Blinded Me With Violence. I didn’t say I wouldn’t be fierce, but it is a bitch finding Ferragamo pumps in a men’s 12.

Just landed a new gig, but I was looking for about 9 months with the same cover letter, just edited with name/station. I emailed it out with my demo shit, and I couldn’t tell you how many times I left the wrong name/station/city on it.

Fuck me. I lucked out.

LMAO @ 23 and the rest of the related thread….

Big Hate for cover letters here too! I’m looking for a new gig, and so far I’m up to about 8 cover letters the past month or so. I haven’t gotten one response. Maybe I suck at cover letters?
