I price out that configuration at a cool $3847 before tax or any extra installed software or peripherals. I thought droner was the only one around here who could throw that kind of cheddar around. I'm looking at getting a new iMac myself, but the 5K display is a luxury I can't afford. I can afford it, just not gonna. My most recent IT purchase is a $129 Acer tablet from Sams.

Or anyone for that matter. I am going to attend this year. It's open to the public for three days, June 19-21. I can't seem to find a schedule of actual flights. Do you happen to know if they wait until the last minute to schedule those, or...? Also do you know if it sells out quickly. Thanks!

Maybe Hart should call his counterpart in Lexington for some advice on that dilemma. It seems to have worked out pretty well for them. Ah, ya beat me to it. But if Kentucky can.... At some point, Karma is going to just destroy both Kentucky and the crimson cesspool to the south. Or so I say....

And even with all those one-and-dones, only 5 QBs have more career playoff wins than Manning.
Teams win. Teams lose. If it was all about the QB and only the QB, Bart Starr would be considered hands-down the best NFL QB of all time, considering his seven league championships. Yet he's never in the conversation. Why? Oh, because the QB was less important in the '60s. Well, if that's the case, why is Brady considered by the wins-trumps-all crowd to be better than Manning? After all, didn't Belichick stealing signals Adam Vinatieri play a bigger role than Brady in two all of those Patriot Super Bowl wins?
FIFY

I'd like to find an archived version of O-Zone from back in early 2007. I'd bet those people were saying the same things or worse. Yeah. I almost retched having to hear Urban talk about how this was a "great college football story" and how the players came together and all that other shizzle. I am very glad they beat bammer but I hope this is the last one he wins for awhile.

Saw a NFL insider tweet that said....with the addition of Steele and Orgeron LSU now has the best defensive recruiting staff in the country.
Bama has been getting some top defensive recruits out of La. lately. This might somewhat stop it.
Maybe. But we tried the "bammer LB coach as a DC" and it was a disaster. I suspect it will be for LSU also. Steele does have a history as a DC, but it was not a good one. He was also HC at Baylor and went 1-31. Good luck with your hire LSU>

I think being thrown into the fire against UF last year just killed any chance he might have had. A QB only has so many chances to prove himself, and he dug a very deep hole that day. Good luck to him, and in the future may Butch learn to not take advice from fans on who our QB should be.

Bobo was not a very good SEC-level offensive coordinator.
Right. They were no. 8 in the country in scoring offense this year with a QB who wasn't that great. The ability of football fans to just completely ignore facts altogether never ceases to astound me.

Ugly game, good ending. Though I am on record as saying criticism of Cuonzo was overdone, there is definitely a refreshing difference in our offense this year, at leas there was in the second half. How nice to have scoring threats...
