1917-1991 world history goobers don't know. Storming now,

I remember reading Descartes' Discourse on Method with Mr. Rosen in 1993. He was busting my ass on my various essays, which I had to write every day for two weeks. Told me to listen to Steven Miller Band Jet Airliner and Falco Rock Me Amadeus. Gave me week and had me come to his house and read my essay to him. He told me it sucked, but I was getting better and that's all that mattered.

Switch to German for precision because it's a language that has a unique ability to concisely combine the meaning of words.

Both of debates were in German and English, which are the standard high level academic languages.

Seen jokes about Arch winning a Nobel Prize. Watched Mr. Rosen debate Nobel Prize Economics winner Amartya Sen on the principles of capitalism. Mr. Rosen was a free market capitalist all the way who loved Reagan. Watched him debate Nobel Prize winner in thermodynamics Ilya Prigogine, The debate was on the epistemology of astrophysics and theoretical mathematics. Writing formulas on the board and arguing about the epistemic precision of numerical symbols.

I remember being at a conference at the University of Toronto in 1994 when I was a grad student at Chicago. My professor Stanley Rosen was debating an Italian lefty nut job named Gianni Vittamo on Nietzsche and Heidegger. Started in German, which I could understand. Vittamo switched to French. Couldn't understand. Then Ancient Greek, Latin, Italian. Then Rosen switched to English and Hebrew. Next week I asked Mr. Rosen, "What was he trying to do?" Rosen said, "He didn't know what he was doing or who was dealing with."

I think I mentioned this before, but I still can't believe it. Most languages ever spoke in a professional sports postgame press conference: four. Kobe spoke English, Italian, Spanish, and Slovenian in a postgame press conference in 2008.

Pencil goobers gonna ride this efficiency nonsense to the collapse of the league. "NBA Finals Game 2 Ratings Lowest Since 2007." Let's see. Fans won't watch, but it's more efficient. Let's continue the geek version of efficient until we go out of business. These people are really stupid.

Reminds me Kobe kicking Kwame Brown to the bench about every third game. Be about five minutes in, and Kwame would raise his hand to come out at a dead ball. Phil would ask, "What's going on?" Kwame says, "Kobe told me to go to the bench because I'm not playing hard enough."

Speaking of Arch... We've heard about Arch taking over as the leader and hardest worker. Here's a recent interview with Indy Colt great Marcus Pollard, in which he talks about Peyton's work ethic and leadership. "If I tell you it's Easter, you better hunt eggs." You can scroll the bottom to get to the Peyton parts.

I like Kelly more than most, but I'd suggest he concentrate on finally winning an opener this year against Clemson rather than worry about Arch. As for Nussmeier, cut down the ints, play defense and establish a run game to help him out.

Heard some guys talking about Alabama gearing up to get the $599 system going. That was funny. On Saturday I listened to Alabama guys actually talk about that exact tactic and how to use it. They were pretty excited about the possibility of returning to the old days.

Criminal sooner motto. Switzer has been giving Nagy the lowdown for months in anticipation of the opportunity. Problem for the criminals is that the courts will blow this up before the old bag game can be reestablished.

Moss best outside receiver in the history of football. Couldn't stop him in man. Deion best man cover corner ever. Got smoked. Like Kobe against the Spurs one on one. Reason the pansies literally changed the rules.

True, but it doesn't change the statement. Jahdae didn't follow Smith. Man on man Jahdae would have shut down goober. Didn't have to do that. Not Deion against Randy Moss. Moss won against Deion by the way.

Gerry said Texas couldn't stop Jeremiah Smith without playing press man. One catch for three yards. No press man. Played one corner with a safety over the top. Don't think Smith is the greatest receiver ever.

Don't know. As a Texan, my favorite coach is Tom Landry 1977.

Ain't nothing compared to Mia Scott. Made every possible play. Reminds me of Kobe 2001.

Look at Trevor Goosby there bigger than everyone.

Great Longhorn stuff.

I'm thinking 1987 might have been the greatest year in the history of Western civilization.

Lock that woman down, CJ. Good as it gets.

I hope Baxter and Mia Scott produce some Texas legacy players.

It should be noted that players in sports that don't generate positive revenue won't have a legal leg to stand on in court. The whole premise of this is that schools are making a ton of money and refusing to compensate those who generate the money. If the sport doesn't generate positive revenue, there's no money to share. That's the cost of removing the veil of amateurism.

You know the clearing house stuff won't hold up in court, but there is a good chance the revenue share component won't hold up either. The way this is being set up by the schools is to have players sign "publicity rights" waivers in exchange for some money. If a player can prove that such a waiver is financially limiting, the rights waiver will be struck down also. The rights are inalienable. Again, it will be individual players that sue, not the schools. Then why did the judge agree? The judge agreed because she doesn't care how stupid the schools are. It's not her job to make sure they can't be held accountable in the future. Without an employment agreement there is no legally tight way to establish the limit. I've read a couple of legal assessments that argue the NCAA is intentionally setting this up so they can stoke public discontent and get Congress to grant an anti-trust exemption. You can't have an anti-trust exemption without an employment agreement, so that's a wash at best. They could've already taken the employment road and truly "settled" the issue, but they're stubbornly resisting that outcome.
