oil + red wine vinegar + salt = the only dressing ever needed

I agree. I also really really want an offense where I can confidently say we can get at least 4 yards on any play, whether it's on 1st down or 4th.

I was at Lane when Cuse came in with McNabb as a Freshman. It was windy and freaking cold. Cuse played in their cozy dome and could not do anything that afternoon. I forget the final score cause we stayed thru the whole game drinking peppermint schnapps. Had to do something!!!

Probably has something to do with Chipotle putting that hell-herb cilantro in every.fucking.thing.

(Please note: I've only eaten Chipotle once, back before they got really really huge, and there was no option other than cilantro rice. I have zero idea if they've changed things in the meantime, but the amount of money I paid for a piece of trash I could barely choke down disinclined me to ever visit again)

Thank you - very concise. Is the score adjusted as more data comes in to better make opponent-adjustments, or are only future scores affected by future performances?

Steve Addazio looks like a cross between Bald Bull and Soda Popinski and thinks Glass Joe is a legitimate, formidable fighter.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Watergate salad!

I was actually behind someone who pulled a maneuver like that. Randomly drove up onto the curb, swerved back into the road, and accelerated across two lanes of traffic and diagonally across an intersection before jumping another curb and trying to mount a car stopped at the light. Stuck around to give the cops my account of what happened and listened in. Lady driver did not remember any of it, but was on a restricted license for seizures and drove anyway. Police/EMT seemed to think she'd had one.

I will say we had a pretty good stadium experience. We were tailgating out at "The Landing" (behind the drag racing strip). We got into the stadium around 6:15 with no issues. I bought water once at the end of the first quarter and the line wasn't too bad. However my brother was gone from the end of the 2nd to half way through the 3rd getting a basket of chicken tenders and fries. He was pissed about how long he had to wait. I noticed there wasn't much space on the concourse for lines to form. I noticed a lot of people confused about where the back of the line was because of the crowds walking around and lots of people standing around who weren't actually in line.

There was a ton of Tennessee bias and I noticed pretty much everything that has already been mentioned (fireworks, band bias, announcer bias, etc.). One thing that I didn't see mentioned above was that Butch was shown on the jumbotron between every damn play and we saw CJF shown maybe 3-4 times. Not that it matters too much but it was definitely noticeable.

Getting out of the stadium and out of the lot wasn't too bad. We walked all the way back instead of waiting for a shuttle. We were back to our cars before most fans in our lot so we got to the main road in less than 5 minutes. I know the lots that were closer to the stadium were being held for an hour but the lots further out had no restrictions so we were on the road pretty quickly.

My favorite salad is: 1) Take a plate of lettuce, add tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and carrots. 2) Throw the plate away, 3) Add biscuits and sausage gravy. 4) Enjoy.

Yes, we do play LOLUVA, so the chance of a 1-win season is probably even more remote than the probabilities suggest.

But we might not need to assume a bell curve. Simulations show that the probability of going winless the rest of the year is approximately equal to the probability of winning the rest of our games, assuming the probability of victory in each game in the above graph is used.

When I bring fish into the office, I eat it cold. Because I'm not a dick like Steve Addazio.

I remember that play, and watching it live it seemed to me that Evans was trying to go to Shai and Bucky just picked it out of the air.

I go for it on 4th-and-short in my opponent's territory even with a kicker that is accurate from distance. The numbers have shown this over and over, and yet relatively few coaches actually go for it. They are much too conservative on 4th down, and fans are way too critical when they do and don't make it.
