AN IMPORTANT INTERNET UTILITY FOR WEST VIRGINIA FANS
by Spencer Hall on Jan 12, 2012 4:22 PM EST
Email
PrintWe're working on a massive recruiting piece for tomorrow, but don't let this day go by without noting the departure of Clemson defensive coordinator Kevin Steele. There is a famous saying that coaches "hate the Air Raid because coaches hate an offense that is very good at getting other coaches fired," but this is unfair. Revise it to this: "bad defensive coaches or coaches where it's simply not working out hate the Air Raid, because if you are on a bad streak, that streak will hit is inexorable and sudden low point in the form of a seventy point, job-killing hemorrhage to a better Air Raid team."
Visual evidence of this follows.
Steele was definitely not quite right at Clemson, for whatever reason, and it showed down the stretch as the Tigers dragged into the barn with a ninth place finish in total defense in the ACC. The Tigers' defense allowed more than 28 points eight times in 14 games, including 45 points to Maryland. That's THE Gary Crowton, relieved of his duties after this season for being awfully Gary Crowtonish about how he did things at Maryland.
This is disturbing enough on its own, but include this from Shakin' the Southland, and the divorce is probably best for all concerned.
We have heard several disturbing things about Steele's possible psychological breakdown during the Orange Bowl game. Multiple sources have said that he was calling plays from his days with the Panthers, which aren't in the Clemson playbook, and as such the players were totally confused. It reportedly happened during the Auburn game as well. I do not know if that is true, and frankly think it a bit farfetched, but I do know that Steele has a reputation for being a nervous wreck on gamedays.
Most of the time we hear about something this insane we can laugh, but if this was really the case, then you almost have to feel sorry for him. Um, we mean HAHAHA POINT AND LAUGH AT THE COACH. Yes, that is exactly what we mean.

D was miserable against everyone not VT. But I thank him for guiding the D that allowed 13 combined points in two meetings with the Hokies.
The rest was hot garbage, though.

But what I’m hearing from the alumni grapevine is that we’re wanting to reschedule to another year instead of ditching the series all together.

Marshall, last year of the Friends of Coal Bowl and Maryland
Both are currently scheduled as Home games. If we did get Pitt as an OOC, it would have to be Away, since they came to M-Town this year. FSU as an Away this year is a squeeze.

This reminds of 1993 when, a year after joining the ACC,
FSU decided it had to drop one of its road games at Kansas, Notre Dame, and Florida (plus home against Miami OOC) to avoid six road games.
Actually, that’s not what happened.
I think this was just miscommunication and hyperbole
What Steele was really saying on the sidelines was “Jesus! Where the FUCK is Julius Peppers when you need him?”
College sports are to college what genital warts are to genitals. -- Fake Dan Beebe
Et Universitatis Ohioensis delenda est!
And this is the man that Georgia Southern AD Sam Baker wanted to replace Tim Stowers with instead of Paul Johnson.
And was only convinced otherwise by Erk Russell. The same AD who then scrapped the option when he hired VanGorder, who promptly shit on the entire program and left after a year. The same AD who less than a year removed from the triple option decided to hire Chris Hatcher (both of these were single-interview hires, NO ONE ELSE considered) to run an Air-Raid style offense at a school with no athletes for that offense. The same AD who said he didn’t understand the APR process, and that’s why GSU was at the very bottom of the SOCON, in spite of every other AD in the country having no problems with it. The same AD who made GSU miss out on a home playoff game last year (2010) because he failed at following instructions on the bidding process and said the instructions were vague (when they’re clearly NOT vague, and AGAIN, when EVERY OTHER AD IN THE COUNTRY HAD NO FUCKING PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING THE INSTRUCTIONS). Somehow, this AD is still employed at GSU after over 15 years of PURE. FUCKING. FAIL.
In short, FUCK SAM BAKER. Kevin Steele is who you wanted as our head coach back then!? You’re a bigger fucking moron than I had even imagined (and, as you can see above, I can imagine him being quite the fucking moron).
I apologize for the random, only partially on topic rant. But it just came boiling up when seeing all this.

I have no idea what went wrong in that game...aside from the obvious "everything."
Defense shit itself. Last 2 years it has actually been our strong point. About midway through the 3rd quarter, the Clemson fans left in the stadium were just laughing because at some point it gets depressing. Past that depressing point, it just gets hilariously funny. I remember when we got that interception jumping up and yelling, “The momentum is ours! We’ve got this!” and all the donor section was cheering with me.

Currently watching the "Ancient Discoveries" marathon on the History Channel
So, everyone has heard of Vlad the Impaler and knows he got the nickname from the “Field of the Impaled” when he had 20,000 Ottoman soldiers put on spikes near the border to send a message to the Turks. There are some obscure texts that claim that these people were kept alive for days on these spikes to the point that the spikes were coming out the victim’s mouth. It’s long been believed that that is impossible because there’s just too much vital organs and arteries between the entry and exit points.
Apparently the History Channel has used some program that models the internal structure of the human body and found that you could indeed find a path from rectum to mouth that would allow the victim to stay alive until they died from infection or dehydration. They hypothesized that given the massive number of people that were impaled it’s likely that Vlad found out how to do this with semi regularity.
That might be the single most horrifying thing I’ve ever comprehended.

Here's the thing, Harry Turtledove rights revisionist history
We know the “Field of the Impaled” happened. Now instead of it being a relatively quick, albeit, painful death, it’s possible that 20,000 people had a pike shoved in their ass to the point that it came out their mouth and they had to stay their screaming in pain for days.
Reality will always find a way to trump fiction.

Some of it is good and accurate but you would hope that the viewer wouldn’t have to sift through the BS when the channel is called “History”.

I got one for you...
That program that models the human body that you refer to…ever think of how they did that? Saw a show about it once, years ago. Apparently they had a death row inmate (Texas) that donated his body to the project after his execution. Healthy guy that died by electrocution leaves a body and organs in pretty good condition. So what they did was freeze his body in a block of something or other and then use a superfine saw to cut away the block millimeter by millimeter, taking pictures of what was revealed after each pass of the saw.
As for my vote for most horrifying: BodyWorks.
They've had slices of the human body on display at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry since I was in grade school.
And i’m pretty old…

Chances are
KG is the first guy that he has taught in years to know he is wrong.
Besides, he’s an art guy…getting the history correct is secondary, at best, to this guy’s POV.
Worst part
it’s a lecture hall class, so if I raise my hand and tell him he’s an idiot, everyone else is just thinking “shut up so we’re not here after class ends”

Have been in similar situation
Raised my hand and proceeded because all those other people you are concerned, however mildly, aren’t going to be people whose names you will ever bother to learn.
I transfered and my last semester or two ended up taking 100 level classes because the Admin would recognize credit from another university. Needless to say, considering all the lost credit hours, I sat in classes where I had significantly more credit hours to my name than the TA teaching the course. Had a pretty good relationship with one in particular and he use to teach the class for 45 minutes and then finish the final 5 by asking me if there was anything he thought should have been included. That helped ease my workload in his class.
So, approaching him in the right way could smooth your way to an easy “A”.
Yeah, that's why I'll talk to my friend first.
My biggest concern is that if I write my paper on something, and he’s this ignorant on the facts, that I’ll be “wrong” even though I’m not. I’d have to hurt him.

Only seen very briefly in about two episodes.
The show is nuts, all around. There’s no real sense of timeline on when it takes place (constant references to the Soviet Union, yet lots of anachronistic technology and references), and just about anything Krieger (the guy driving the van) does is strange, impossible mad-scientist type stuff.

I could care less about their popularity.
It’s their quality that’s the problem. The good news is that music is so factional these days that you can mostly ignore them, no matter how popular they are. Detroit halftime shows notwithstanding.
That too
They don’t warrant it. If they would’ve stuck with their older sound, I could see it. Some of their old stuff has serious metal riffs and very original lyrics. But now…it’s all the same and now they’re being marketed as pop

That because Rock music is so fractured now the only way to become the “biggest band in rock” is to make mass marketable music and that’s how Nickelback became so popular.

This doesn't have a whole lot to do with it but except perception

I read the article, proclaiming this the "deepest Syracuse team ever"
and saying things like this after half a year is irrational.
Right now, the only team that could beat Syracuse is Syracuse. Sure, on any given night a team can come up flat. There are so many talented contributors, it is hard to believe all 10 will have the same bad night.
"Well they can't test for LSD, so I started frying on weekends"
it's certainly the deepest team I remember
though pre-1992 my knowledge of Orange basketball is only through myth and legend. JB actually playing more than 7 guys against Big East teams (outside of walk-ons in garbage time) is really strange.

If you’re more adventurous, take a drive down into PG County or St. Marys County once the weather gets nice and look for one of the roadside stands along Indian Head Highway or Route 5. I know people who swear by those.

You're right I had it confused with something else on the time lines, now that I know which one it is, it's definitely a soap operapera-ish to me
Much of the focus is on the need for a male heir to the Grantham estate, and the troubled love life of Lady Mary as she attempts to find a suitable husband. The device that sets the drama in motion is the entail that accompanies the (fictional) Earldom of Grantham, which endows both title and estate exclusively to heirs male. This is complicated as the estate had been in near financial ruin, and was only saved when the present Earl, then the heir apparent, married a rich American heiress.
There’s also talk of marrying cousins and surprise heirs. If it were Spanish instead of British it’d be mocked relentlessly

The Wire is a police procedural
It’s just an incredibly well done police procedural. The focus of the Wire is how the Baltimore PD does their jobs.

I'm on record as saying The Wire is one of, if not the greatest TV shows of all time
I watched all of it in its initial run and I own the DVDs, but it’s still a cop show.
Defining something with its genre is not a statement on its quality.
"Well they can't test for LSD, so I started frying on weekends"

That’s taking a very, very broad stroke approach to genre, and misapplied if you want to go by the definition.

Curiosity, not snark:
How would you define a police procedural? Because The Wire, to me, is one- it’s based on how the Baltimore cops are certainly a, if not the, main focus of the show.

Procedural basically means you don’t have to watch every episode to understand the story. The opposite term is serial, which is what The Wire is.

So you get hyper specific about whether a show is a serial or a procedural, but then you define a different show by the incredibly vague term drama
I don’t care what the producers call the show. It’s got superficial plots that rely on interfamily squabbling and fantasical twists.
That’s a soap opera.
Grey’s Anatomy and House are both “Medical Dramas” one is primetime soap. The other is not.

Definition
Procedural dramas are television programming series which rely on an episodic format that does not require the viewer to have seen previous episodes. Episodes typically have a self-contained, also referred to as stand-alone, plot that is introduced and resolved within the same episode. This format is often referred to as “case-of-the-week”.

The "find a brewery and try the samples" is really good advice
because it’ll let you know what type of beer you like and you can go from there. You’ll probably want to avoid super hoppy beers like IPAs at first. As far as hard liquors…er, likkers…I’m a fan of a lot of types of bourbon, but you might not like drinking super strong stuff right now. It’s probably better to try them at halfway classy bars with a decent selection until you find something you like. Buffalo Trace is pretty good single barrel bourbon that is fairly reasonably priced if you’re looking for a sippin’ liquor.
I don’t know nothin’ about wine.
Go gata!
IPAs and stouts/porters may be a little much at first.
Actually, just beer in general may be a little much. It is an acquired taste. Start out with pilsners, reds/ambers, and lagers…maybe some pale ales.

I'm going to tell you something no one else has mentioned yet
You will not like the taste of alcohol the first time you have it. Beer will taste incredibly bitter and all you’ll taste of hard liquor at first is the burn.
It’s not considered manly, but you may want to start with something like Mike’s Hard Lemonade to ease you into the idea of drinking booze. They taste good, have about the same amount of alcohol as beer and are available at nearly every bar in the world.

No, I only had two beers my first night.
I was handed a Fat Tire at a friend’s birthday party. It disappeared with such rapidity that he was aghast; the next one was a Bud Light or some such trash.
I guess it would probably depend on when you have your first beer
If it’s late enough in life that you’ve adjusted to bitter flavors like coffee it’s probably better.
I had my first beer at 12 and got drunk for the first time at 13
"Well they can't test for LSD, so I started frying on weekends"
My first beer was a Pearl.
Stolen from the cooler at my parent’s party on 12/31/1986. It was delicious. If you’re interested in the math I was born in 1979.
The first time I got rip-roaring, shit hammered drunk was at the hands of my older brother. Our dad took us to his homecoming and his fraternity held a toga party. That was the night I decided I was definitely going to college. In my dad’s house there is a prominently placed photo of 12 year old Jon with a mug of beer in one hand and my other arm around a girl.

Quality of alcohol and pairing with food makes a big difference.
Cheap macros with friends? I didn’t hate it but wasn’t ever crazy about it either.
Good wine with my parents at Sunday dinner? Completely sold.
Well, I got to sample from Dad's glass when I was like 14,
but he only ever drank fairly tame macrobrews. The scotch, however, was the good stuff.

I fully endorse this plan.
Make sure the first one is top shelf all the way, using presidente, milagro, or patron tequila. Triple sec should be replaced by Cointreau or Grand Marnier (or both). I personally prefer my margarita on the rocks (and without salt on the glass) because the blended ice tends to water down all the flavor but that’s just me. After that just have a shitty house margarita and note the difference.
Then you get to come back here and be a tequila snob. In all seriousness, how does a non-drinker tolerate this forum?

Nimrod is only an insult because people in the 40s didn't understand Mel Blanc's sarcasm
Nimrod was Noah’s great grandson, and in the Old Testament, is one of the world’s greatest hunters. Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd, “a regular Nimrod” to mock his abilities as a hunter. People didn’t get the joke and assumed Nimrod meant “idiot” and it stuck

Actually, I wonder if the folks in the '40s got the joke
and us kids watching it did not, and we made the “idiot” connection.
Folks back then used to be more familiar with the classics and Bible stories than we were in the ‘60s watching them as kids. And those cartoons weren’t for kids, they were shown before the feature. So you might have gone in to see “The Big Sleep” and get a Warner Brothers cartoon too.

A glance at yesterday's box score reveals that he played two minutes, scored one point, and pulled down two rebounds.

The students take up the ENTIRE lower section.
It’s undergrads on three sides and grad students behind the basket on the north end. Grad students have a separate entrance at the north end and only have to camp out once during the year (in August) for season tickets since they have less free time than the undergrads.
The far side (opposite the benches) has the press tables, but they’ve always reserved those for print media and confined the broadcasters to what can best be described as a crow’s nest up in the rafters. The entire place is tiny, though, and they’re still not that far from the floor. Back before they added air conditioning (not ‘til the late 1980s), the broadcast box was basically a sauna, and I’m told it still gets really hot up there after 9,000+ people have been in the building for a couple of hours.

Meh. They literally spend the smallest amount of $ on basketball in the ACC
The fact that he’s making it to the tournament is shocking in itself.
In exchange, I pay the least amount of attention to FSU basketball. Which is for my sanity, because it’s unwatchable.
If all sports fandom is a form of emotional gambling, football is poker and hockey is Russian roulette.
Is the low expense due to playing in an off-campus venue, thus splitting a lot of cost with the city?
The civic center and basketball building are top notch facilities even if the atmosphere is tepid, but that’s on the students more than anything. The tickets are free and they have the rare home advantage of selling booze at the games. If the program were spending more on marketing (the one area where they could really bump it up IMO) would you reciprocate with support?

I used to work screenings for one of the studios. The main purpose of screenings is to show it to critics on Wednesday to they can have their review ready for the Friday release. The rest of the crowd is there to (hopefully, from the studio’s point of view) provide positive feedback to influence a better review. Everybody gets in free, but people would complain because they didn’t get shirts or anything. “Whaddya mean no shirts? Well then, what do I get?” “Um, you get a free movie before it’s officially released.”

They don't tend to organize them into series very well.
