    Les Miles Football 101 - play down to your competition and the game MUST come down to the last drive or even better the last play or Les Miles isn't happy.

    A friend of mine who went to the Chicken bowl called earlier and said some guys had a sign that took 2 people to hold at the gate that read "WVU SCORES AGAIN". LOL.

    Seriously? That's the biggest complaint against Miles is that he always plays down to his competition like barely beating Towson and Auburn. Works great against top ranked teams and not so much against teams we should blow out.

    Because most LSU fans and at least some of the team don't care. What does LSU prove by beating Clemson? Not much. LSU has played in Atlanta several times over the last few years in the Peach Bowl and the SEC championship game so no excitement there. LSU didn't sell out its tickets because...

    My parents didn't have a problem. Dad works on a computer part time still at age 72 as a draftsman using AutoCad. Both got android tablets which are basically big smartphones like they already had.

    This might be the year that finally starts the end of the bowls as we know them. Orange bowl tickets are going for less than the shipping and handling price on the tickets, some as low as $1. Sugar bowl tickets as low as $5, Capital One bowl tickets for $15 etc....All of these aren't even last...

    After I got a 9" Lenova A2109 my mom borrowed it and liked it so she got one, before that she had a first generation kindle - which she still uses to read books but the tablet for browsing. After my dad played around with hers he got a 10" Asus but he normally sits it flat on the table and...

    That LSU deal was from pre season and was posted as a joke when they all missed a class, not a practice. I'm not sure why it suddenly started appearing everywhere today. Just cause, here's the LSU pump promo for the chicken bowl.

    Cheap ass Chik-Fil-A bowl. Here's the swag for the players. That's pretty blah compared to what LSU got even playing in the cotton bowl which included an Ipad among other stuff. In case anyone is wondering. You can get free stuff from the bowl and the school for making a bowl game. In real...

    It's just down temporarily. The NRA is receiving death threats. Today there was a march on their office in the DC/Fairfax area but only about 50 people showed up. 45 minute phone wait today for people wanting to join the NRA.

    Gun control

    The mildly amusing thing is before the 1994 ban you rarely saw anyone with an AR at the range or even at gun shows. Even at the countries largest gun show in Tulsa you might see 25 at the entire event. When the ban expired in 2004 it became the single best selling model firearm in the US...

    Gun control

    Except it makes people look like they learned all their information about firearms from movies, which is a great reason to listen to people. Most policeman aren't "gun people". Just because they carry one everyday doesn't make them a "gun person". Stop and talk to a cop you know and ask them...

    Gun control

    Ever notice how many mass shootings take place in gun free zones like schools, movie theaters that had the .30-60 sign out front (no guns allowed) even tho there were theaters in the area that didn't have the sign out front? I'm not saying you have to arm teachers or whoever else but you don't...

    I started to say earlier but I didn't want to throw gas on an already raging fire that if you wanted to kill a bunch of people in a gun free zone where you know you won't encounter a lot of armed resistance you could amr yourself with 6 shot percussion revolvers and go at it. For the first 5 (or...

    I don't want to get in someones face and argue gun control laws because I have done it in the past - partially profesionally and have no desire to do it again. But I thought I would add a little background if anyone is interested so everyone can be on the same page. I really don't get upset...

    While in college about 15 years ago working on my wildlife managemnet degree I read an article in the Journal of Wildlife Managment about how they were attempting to keep waterfowl off the field at Boise State. I believe their biggest problem were migrating swans.

    Just earlier this week a court ordered that IL had 180 days to come up with a conceal carry law. IL is the only state that doesn't have a conceal carry law for citizens. Even tho it's state law that has to be changed I did read that the alderman in Chicago voted to spend the money and fight it...

    Gun control

    Assault rifles already require paying a $200 tax stamp and getting the sign off of a local DA, sheriff or other controlling law enforcement entity as laid out in the 1934 National Firearms Act. It also requires that any gun meeting the requirement under the NFA be reported to the ATF if you...

    Retirement questions - any early retirees out there?

    Don't do it if you work in a sector where it's hard to get back into a good job. For me, my stuff hasn't changed much in the last 30 years except we do it on computers now isntead of paper. But some sectors you really have to stay tied in to keep up, if my job was like that I wouldn't even...

    Most politicians have never heard of the NFA (National Firearms Act) and even fewer can tell you what it covers yet they come out and talk about stuff that is already covered in the legislation.

    I didn't catch the entire article but I saw the headline yesterday about 22 kids being stabbed in China. I guess I should have looked more closely at it.

    Don't get me started on the BS Bama 2012/2013 bridge schedule that the Bama grad at the SEC came up with. Somehow they managed to drop off GA that was already on their schedule and pick up Kentucky in exchange.

    Home Theater In a Box ?

    I guess I am kind of an audiphile at the home but at the office I was just looking for some speakers. At the house I am old school, tube amps and reel to rell 95% of the time. People who have never heard a good 1/4" reel to reel would be suprised at the quality.
