Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

LES MILES DEMANDS A BUSTY QUARTERBACK

We thought brain injury, initially. There would be few other explanations for Les Miles starting Jordan Jefferson in the BCS Title Game, and fewer still for keeping him in the game after he began soft-tossing the ball up to Alabama linebackers in the midst of an extended and nationally televised panic attack. There is also the issue of the gameplan. Our LSU readers are now all having seizures and compromising already strained cardiovascular systems. We'll stop talking about it for their benefit.

The brain injury theory may have been shot down entirely by a new possibility: pectoral prejudice.

Around the 1:30 mark, Les Miles says this regarding Gunner Kiel, the ND commit who switched his commitment from LSU to the Irish in January.

We needed a quarterback. We lost two, we needed a quarterback in this class. There was a gentleman from Indiana that thought about coming to the Bayou State. He did not necessarily have the chest and the ability to lead a program.

Les Miles cannot possibly be speaking figuratively. When you think Les Miles is using metaphor, in his mind he is thinking completely literally. For instance, a normal person says, "You can't have your cake and eat it, too," they are expressing the sad cycle of desire and consumption. For Miles, he is saying this because he has just eaten your cake, which was delicious. He will buy you a new one of your choice tomorrow, and Geaux Tigers.

He also clearly values "chest" in a quarterback, and why not: the quarterback is the leader of the team, and many of our world's great leaders have boasted spectacular man-cannons. Mussolini, Chuck Amato, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Kiel, Nitro from American Gladiators, and Sergio Oliva all led pec-first with distinction throughout their lives in various fields of endeavor.

Judging strictly from photo evidence, Jordan Jefferson has the clear pectoral advantage, and got the nod as starter. Kiel would have attended LSU, but after failing the all-important Les Miles Chest Expander Test, he had no choice but to join the cave-chested Catholics of South Bend in their echoey grotto of manorexia and endless cardio.

None of this makes any sense, but if you want explanations that make sense, you wouldn't have asked us in the first place why Les Miles does things, would you? You'd already understand it all, because it wouldn't be Les Miles, and we wouldn't be a pioneer in the field of LMS.

That will be $5,000 in consulting fees, and a chicken dinner delivered to our Uncle Roscoe immediately. Uncle Roscoe is our pet wolverine. He's quite senile, but also still astonishingly violent. Proceed carefully, as this is an essential part of the contract AND a life-risking maneuver.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Orson Swindle

Fellow, Institute of Les Miles Studies

The Democrats passed a lot of laws trying to stop us from hunting. They say we can’t shoot certain animals anymore, unless they’re posing an immediate threat. Therefore, before we shoot something, we have to say; “It’s coming right for us!”

I love wikipedians.
The first was won by the Fighting Irish, 31-30, with Miami ending Notre Dame’s record 23-game winning streak the following year, 27-10.

What “record” would that be? Longest winning streak by a Division I Catholic school after the Vietnam War?

I think that was our longest win streak ever.

The ‘crush all who oppose us’ teams of the Leahy era had ties thrown in here and there. Though there was one class that never lost, only tied.

I vaguely remember it being called "record" of some heavily caveated type at the time, but don't remember what.

It wouldn’t have even been a school record if we’re just going by wins in a row. Leahy in the late 40’s would have that, considering he had a full 4 year class go undefeated (1 tie) in their time there.

I can’t for the life of me remember in what way it was a “record”, however.

I read a few weeks ago that he reported last January at something like 170 lbs.

Explains quite a bit why there wasn’t even the faintest whisper of him seeing the field last year. A 170 lb QB is in serious danger of being literally torn in half at any given moment.

Right, he was mostly just faking when they recorded early versions of it.

It wasn’t good enough to make it onto Ten (think about THAT – Yellow Ledbetter would be most groups’ best song, and it couldn’t even make it onto Pearl Jam’s first record) so he never went back and wrote sensible lyrics. It eventually got tossed in as a B-side somewhere and it exploded on the radio a while later.

The shame is that a lot of their other stuff is really good (See: All Kinds of Time, Hey Julie, Valley Winter Song). It’s just that Stacey’s Mom was unlike anything else they ever did, which created problems.

Really, it happens to a shitton of bands.

The more wedded to just trying to make music you are as opposed to whoring yourself, the more likely that you’ll suddenly find yourself with a hit single then seemingly disappear altogether.

I use Dream Theater as one of my biggest examples here. They had a big hit single, MTV-driven, off their second album, and then as far as Joe Average is concerned they disappeared.

Yet every single album they’ve released in the Amazon era has topped their best-seller list for at least a week after release. Three of their live releases are among the top 100 selling live albums of all time. They’ve all gone gold. But no hit singles = “Who?”

Also,

sometimes the one hit is unlike all the other stuff they ever did. They just stumble onto a hit by accident, and have no way to recreate the sound that the mass market craves. See Fountains of Wayne, Del Amitri, and to a lesser extent Plain White Ts.

Hmm. Okay, technical definition, got it.

I think of a one-hit wonder more as “had only one song that was played on the radio, then was never heard from again”. I’d put both of those (and probably some others mentioned) as “had a few/many good songs, only one made it into Billboard Top 40”. One Hit Wonder to me is more like Chumba Wumba.

the one flaw

is that a song has to officially be released as a single. So a song can be a massive radio hit, and not qualify, i.e. Stairway to Heaven (I think; subsitute whole lotta love if you prefer)

by Yail Bloor on Feb 2, 2012 6:59 PM EST up reply actions  

This is indisputably correct.

The thing is, the argument is even more valid in the pre-CD era than it is nowadays in the iTunes era. Stairway to Heaven was not a “hit” in any rational sense, because it had almost no mainstream penetration. You couldn’t punch it up on a jukebox, because it wasn’t a single. It wasn’t getting any airplay on any station other than AOR stations.

The reason we think of it as a hit is the same reason someone who used to listen to a college rock station in the early 80s would think of a random Pere Ubu song as a hit.

I mean, there are really famous bands that have had long, fruitful careers that aren’t one-hit wonders because they’ve never HAD a “hit”. The only reason people want to argue about this is because they perceive “one-hit wonder” as a derogatory term.

I do believe this is supposed to be somewhat scientific, meaning you need to use a consistent metric. The only way to do that and get any real data is to use the Billboard charts. There are tons of great bands that never get a “hit” and there are tons that suck that get lots of hits.

Footnotes are awesome.
B ^ “Live Forever”, “Champagne Supernova”, and “Don’t Go Away” were released in the United States as radio singles, which were not allowed to chart on the main Billboard Hot 100 there at the time of their release. The chart positions denoted for the three are their positions on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart.

That said, it doesn’t apply to D’You Know What I Mean, so the OHW list is wrong.

hint: laplace transform on the diffusion partial of c with respect to t = D times the second partial of c with respect to x. inverse laplace transform of e^(-(p/d)^(1/2)x) / p equal erfc(x/(4Dt)^(1/2)

What quality level?

SN is usually really expensive for their regular pale ale. $10.99 is average for it. Your big 3 macros in bottles are usually $5.99-$7.49 for a sixer depending on where you go/who is having a sale. Sam Adams is rarely less than $9.99 for six. Schaefer is the only really true cheap beer at $5.99 for 12. Some of your ass beers are a little more than that.

Plus NY charges a $0.05 bottle deposit per bottle and more sales tax than most places. And this is Long Island, not the City, where I have heard $14 for a sixer of Blue Moon at a corner store.

A good IPA like SN’s for $7.99 is great.

“Measure” was never really defined in the report, but the legend says he stopped into his local for a nip and was pounding black russians. Being Bonham, I’m sure the servings matched his size.

I take a stab at this, although maybe Londonjoe or Devil Grad know better....

The typical shot glass in British bars when I was there in the 70s was 1/2 a gill or 1/8th of an Imperial Pint. As I remember the conversion, that’s just under 2-1/2 US fluid ounces. If this math is correct, he drank around 3 US quarts of vodka that day.
