Nov-17-25 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: <FSR> Almost the same record as NE, beating up on losing (record) teams. MIN 4-6 LVR 2-7 CIN 3-7 NYG 2-9 WAS 3-8 14-37 record. Besides the MIN loss, they lost to DET (week 2) 52-21 and BAL (Week 8, but game 7 due to bye) 30-16 Of CHI's remaining games (7), only one ...      Nov-16-25 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: Not super important, but I see ads on players' directory page.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 573 OF 749 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-07-15    Shams: <JB> I think Sark is getting bad advice and I'd be surprised if the University offers anything more than a face-save if that. If I may speculate, Sark cooked his own goose when he signed the behavior agreement (soon to be violated) after his first embarrassing drunken rant. Also this just looks like a man not wanting to take responsibility which isn't exactly what you want to see from an addict. If he continues down this course he might bounce himself out of coaching altogether. Dec-07-15    Jim Bartle: Head football coach at a major university, one that is typically in the mix for a national championship, is like being CEO of a mid-sized corporation, and with hundreds of thousands of extremely passionate stockholders. It's a tough job, and requires a lot of organizational and public relations skill. Football knowledge is only a part of it. I don't know if it's always been that way. When I was in college John Ralston was a fairly relaxed guy. I didn't get the idea he worked 20 hours a day. He had a good staff, though, maybe they did a lot of the work. USC has made some bad choices after Carroll. Kiffen was a disaster, as could have been predicted. UCLA had excellent coaches for a long time: Prothro, Rodgers, Vermeil (just two years) and Donahue, who was great. Hasn't been so great since, and Rick Neuheisel was terrible. Dec-10-15    chancho: Thanks <WannaBe>. Dec-11-15    WannaBe: Much needed rains are here. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/artic... Dec-11-15    WannaBe: Just saw a licence plate, "E30 NUT". Could be a chess player. Dec-12-15    Shams: <WannaBe> As it happens, <parisattack> has just persuaded me to take a look at E30 from the White side. If you see that car again, flag the driver down and get his email for me. Dec-12-15    WannaBe: Ucla@Gonzaga, down a point, with 11 minutes left. C'mon Bruins!!! Dec-13-15    WannaBe: Bruins win! Bruins pulled off the upset at 'Zaga!! Dec-13-15    WannaBe: More rain here at NorCal. =) Dec-13-15    WannaBe: The rain is now a minor storm, wheeeeeee!!! Dec-13-15    WannaBe: Finally, got all my Christmas cards done. Phew... Dec-13-15    WannaBe: Raiders are on the board (finally!) Dec-13-15    WannaBe: Raiders win, Raaaaaaiders win!!! Dec-14-15    WannaBe: Finally saw "The Martian", solid "A" movie. Dec-14-15    chancho: Yep, excellent movie. Dec-14-15    WannaBe: <chancho> Groovy music/sound track, funny lines. Plot reminds me a bit of "Apollo 13". Dec-14-15    jessicafischerqueen: Thanks for the heads up <MannBee> this is a Ridley Scott film and I hadn't even heard of it yet! I put it on my watch list. Dec-14-15    NakoSonorense: <WannaBe> I finished reading "The Martian" by Andy Weir just a couple of weeks ago, but I still haven't seen the movie. Have you read the book and if so, how do you think it compares with the movie? Dec-14-15    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Did not read the book. I vaguely remember it when it was released, and I saw it on Amazon.com, glanced at the summary/reviews, but had no interest. <... how do you think it compares with the movie?> The book's better. =) Dec-14-15    WannaBe: So... All day during work, there was words of hacked 'leak' trailer of Star Trek (reboot) 3, in German. Then Paramount did release the 'official' trailer shortly. Just got a chance to view it. As an "old" time Trekkie (and I use that term in a very endearing way.) I have very, very, very, very mixed emotion about it. Almost like Spock going through pon-farr. Dec-15-15    chessmoron: It really looks like Fast and Furious meets Star Trek. Dec-15-15    WannaBe: Freezing here, over-night low is 40. Gonna to be in Reno Sun-Tue for a little R&R and it's a low of 17 degrees over there. Maybe I should move back to South Dakota and enjoy the balmy -20 degrees. Dec-15-15    WannaBe: Ucla won against Univ. of Louis. Lafayette, 89-80. This would count as a 'loss' for the Bruins, 9-points? At home?! Dec-16-15    WannaBe: Apparently someone in Houston decided to shutdown a major freeway (with help from friends) just so he can propose to his girlfriend. And have it posted all over the 'Net. According to him, that's her favourite view of the city. http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/16/us/ho... That, my friends, is called "BRILLIANT"!! Dec-17-15    WannaBe: Hoo-ray! More rain coming! Gonna be a wet one next week! http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/artic... Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 749) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 573 OF 749 ·  Later Kibitzing>
