That's about the salary for park employees. I think the point stands. Just because it may be a miniscule part of the budget doesn't mean you don't need to question whether it's best served elsewhere.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 05:38 PM) What the f***... Just remember, none of this has been verified elsewhere.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 04:29 PM) Yeah, I feel much better about them interviewing a lot of candidates rather than jumping on a guy like Marrone immediately. I'm just a bit worried we'll outsmart ourselves and hire like some random linebackers coach or something that turns out to be a bust. Any coach can turn out to be a bust. But, when the pack hired McCarthy I thought they sealed irrelevancy for 3-4 more years. I don't think anyone saw Harbaugh being the great coach he is. You really don't know.

I'm glad to know we are thoroughly vetting numerous options. I'm starting to really believe in Emery. I was always told a bad plan is better than no plan at all. I think he knows what he's doing but wants to make sure he isn't running with blinders on. I really hope he ends up being for real. But everything he is doing is pretty much what I wanted the bears to do when running a football team. The seeking out of stats, the confidence, considering all options. Now all that he needs is results.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 04:40 PM) Good...KG is one of the biggest douches to ever play. eh, carmelo vs KG, no real winner there.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) So hypothetical based on the SEC's complete dominance of college football, if Alabama wins the SEC with one loss next year, and there are two undefeated teams from other conferences, would you vote for Alabama to go to the national championship game? I would put Alabama in without a doubt at this point. Undefeated in a BCS conference? No. Some mid major undefeated? Absolutely.

Well, I doubt we know about the efficacy of the program. Man-created wild fires are a problem in the western us. Is starting awareness as children more helpful than shifting the 200k to signage at parks? Would the 4-5 park salaries you hire provide more assistance in wildfire prevention?

That would be a good move. I wonder if he could recruit, however.

You guys think that's it for Scott Skiles? Or at least hire him for a year and then fire him immediately.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 05:05 AM) So, do you think Gameday is going to be at the Alabama/TAMU game next year? At college station? Hell yes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 05:02 AM) Rule #1 in college football, never bet against Saban in bcs title games. True, but in hypothetical good ball being played, TAMU finished the strongest.

For the record SEC will be what, 6-3 in bowl season. That's pretty good. LSU and FLA with clunkers but they were inconsistent all year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 04:59 AM) The 4 best teams in college football right now, IMO, are Alabama, Oregon, TAMU and Stanford. Absolutely, but I still think at this point in time TAMU would beat all of them.

Guys Taylor Martinez said Big Ten defenses are better than SEC defenses. SEC sucks!

Mizzou at least had a field goal at half. #nationalchamps2013

Here is the good NYT piece on it, which was much more thoroughly reported. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/17/sports/h...?pagewanted=all Note, that there was a local blogger that did a lot of work to keep this in the spotlight, has her name on the blog, and lives in the town taking all the heat. Takes a little more courage.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) Yes this is also very likely but also the information could still very easily be true given how easily such accusations can be suppressed in this town. I'm not saying it isn't true, just that when you have a bunch of people telling you the stories of the town, rumors will be a part of it. This place doesn't seem like it's that big on reporting.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 11:11 PM) I'm assuming they are recent findings by this hacker group 'Anonymous' that just came out and haven't been explored. I'm sure there's concerns with the legality of evidence obtained by this group also but to answer your question I really don't know. I do trust the information provided from that group though as they hacked and released the entire e-mail cache of the dude who runs the team fan site and what not and uncovered deleted tweets, instagram photos and whatever else. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out from a town wide perspective given the allegations at hand. I'm also guessing this group is also publishing hearsay as fact.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 11:08 PM) Seriously, can't some organization from outside look into and do something? Because trusting the local authorities in this is absurd. I heard that the girl was taken over state lines. Couldn't that make it eligible for the Feds?

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 11:01 PM) The mother f***ing loser in that 12 minutes video is "no longer a student at the Ohio State University" as of today. Good. If I was in college, knowing that kid was there, I would have my student judiciary that I feel like could have pushed expulsion for these things. He is a danger to the student body.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) Are you f***ing kidding me? Things you've brought into this thread: guns aren't the problem, black people are the problem we should ban gay sex because of aids as an analogy, right after claiming seat belt laws were getting off-topic

I second at least closing this thread.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) I don't see why Mary being a c*** needed to be blacked out - she's such a b****. Thankfully, she's finally married. And yes, Tom is awesome. His drunken rant was crazy, though, and I'm glad the cripple saw that he was drugged. I wonder how long we'll have to wait until Matthew decides to in fact save Downton? I hope that Matthew doesn't. How absurd for that family to keep their way of life by falling ass backwards into inheritances over and over. This series should make everyone love America.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 05:17 PM) Honestly, I'm not going to get into this talking about what weapons are suitable for home defense when I'm dealing with people who use words like "clips" and "assault rifles" over, and over, and over, and over. Oh please don't threaten to leave the thread!
