Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...

Rick Perry's stooge (Pres. Bill Powers) is up. He is not an inspiring public speaker.

Oy vey...............thank goodness he is done speaking.

When I lived in San Antonio in the '80s and '90s, I learned how the mountain cedars in the Hill Country shoot huge amounts of pollen down into San Antonio. The head pain was so severe, that I wished for amputation!

Well, the two, eastern and western cedars are different families, now I think of it. Our eastern cedars are actually junipers and they emit their pollen just when you wouldn't expect it - late winter through spring. Don't really know about cross-allergies...

Woody Hayes used to be one of my favorite coaches until the bowl incident. I just think like JoePa, the powers that be let him stay tooooo long.

Woody is one of the top 10 head coaches in college football history, but he abslutely lost his mind when he got mad. My father used to tell me that it wasn't fair to judge him by today's standards. He should have controlled his anger better, but men (especially athletes) used their fists more than their brains and it was generally accepted - we, as a society, simply didn't frown on it the way that today's society does. We have become more civilized.

All that said, when he blew up on the camerman in the 1977 Michigan game, he should have been fired. The problem - we had just won the Big Ten for the 5th or 6th year in a row. Mt father said that he asked not to be fired after a loss to Michigan so they gave him another chance. It really blew up on everyone because it was the very next year that he hit the Clemson player. Sad for everyone, but he really needed to be shown the door. It also changed the way that coaches were expected to behave across the country.

I was young when all this happened, but it followed our program for years.

Well, a little research shows that they are the same family, with the same allergies, pollen-emitting time and all the rest..
 
Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...

I guess Earle feels better about CNS staying since the conversation has evolved into Texas allergens and Woody Hayes :)

I have allergy problems in Hill Country from the trees. Flonase fixes it. It really is beautiful country and you should see it if you can.
 
Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...

Wow, more OT stuff. The cedar in TX is predominantly eastern red cedar. Didn't realize it'd spread so far west. In CO, where I lived part-time in the mountains for ten years, we had western cedar, but I don't remember the kind of reaction I have with the eastern cedar...

Now that we have the good news...is there enough liquor left for New Year's? You guys may need to stock up again. ;)

Cecil Hurt just sent his own tweet saying the same thing.

Don't tell Cuda.73, though. Make him watch the whole shorthorn dinner.
