    Criminal sooners competing with Wisconsin and San Jose State for recruits. Good job Venables.

    I'm thinking Tech can't do anything we can't do. Football more important than anything.

    Reagan destroyed the Iranian Navy 18 April 1988. What did they do in response? Nothing. What could they do? Who is going to retaliate? Gotta love Netanyahu. Balls of steel. Grew up in Philadelphia. Man is the greatest US ally ever. Orders strikes and tells his people to buckle down. We gotta love this man,

    Don't get it. US told Israel to hit em or they wouldn't have hit em. They hit em with US weapons. Markets clutch pearls. Ain't no clutching. Only thing more certain is that sun will rise tomorrow.

    Rosen literally told me Protestantism is scientific skepticism and the Enlightenment. "Do you understand that's the greatest development in world history?" "I think I do, yes sir." "Then explain it to me in writing."

    Wrote thesis on the transcendental analytic in Kant's Kritik der reinen Vernunft. Rosen hammered me. Said I failed to properly analyze and explain the Kantian cogito. He could have told me that while I was writing the thesis under his direction, but he didn't. Had to write it again.

    The next year we were studying Kant and Hegel in a class on German Idealism. Won't say I was lost, but I wasn't killing it. Again, went to his house. His wife gave me cookies. Then I talked with Mr. Rosen and his daughter, who was the same age as me, about the use of profanity and violence in Pulp Fiction. Then he took me back to his office. Like talking to the Godfather in the inner sanctum. Told me Nietzsche was a pansy and Hegel was Jules and Kant was Vincent and I needed to deal with it.

    First Title IX lawsuit has been filed after the House ruling. Don't think this has legs in the long run. Title IX is opportunity equity, not money. May get a district court to pull a wild one, but won't pass higher levels of judicial scrutiny. Differently stated, it's about monetary revenue. Keep pointing this out, but media doesn't seem to get it. This is about an individual proving that he or she is being financially harmed by the terms of this deal based on the real level of their contribution to revenue generated or the willingness of a third party to compensate them with a marketing deal. Absent a contractual agreement from the players as such, there's no legally binding limitation.

    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.
  23. harveycmd
    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.
