It?s pretty great so far. Not at the same level as Band of Brothers (that?s a pretty high bar), but every bit as good as The Pacific.
I keep waiting for the mustangs to make their appearance. That changed the daytime bombing considerably. Also, my pastor, when I was a kid, was a waist gunner on a B17. 25 missions but went on one more when a crew was down one. Spent rest of war as a POW. Found Jesus, as you can imagine, in the Stalag and it stuck.

Same here at one time I was given God privliedges on a Vax system one weekend (something to do with classification of data) Only crashed it once, when I was scrubbing the memory. I agree on VMS, really easy to work with In the same place we used DEC equipment, the mainframe computer was a Univac 1110, filled a HS gym sized room Drum memory, lots of 7 and 9 track tape drives, etc. Had a row of hard disks, 13 platter hard drive packs that stored a few megs and crashed, a LOT. Ran on FORTRAN and all the terminals were dumb Installed a front end comm computer that I swear who's only purpose was to say "Host down, site terminated" when the mainframe crashed Those were the days BTW, nowhere in my CV is there any reference to programming skills Nothing good can come of adding that .... Wonder how many kids today would even know what JCL stood for? I worked in the UT computing center at the spam can for my grad degree.

Seriously, it literally feels like we walked through a desert for a couple of decades and are now at the Oasis. The athletic department is rock solid and so is the University leadership. Boling would have been proud of this.

When are they going to end the Harper regime. She can't recruit. She can't coach x's and o's. The team looks like a group of ghetto whores with all their eyelashes and extensions. There I said what most Vol fans are thinking. They are 12-7. What will they do against the better SEC teams? Heard someone comment that the girl in the middle was the laziest player they have seen. They said it could be hard to tote those 50 lbs of hair extensions around. Why prolong the inevitable and git rid of Kelly? Pretty sad way the Lady Vols have fallen. Not even a relevant program anymore. Someone needs to start recruiting. Next year doesn't look much better. All our top rivals have better players all over the court. Can't expect to win like that.
Racist much?

12 teams. The 5 highest ranked conference champions (which will by definition include a mid-major), and the 7 highest ranked remaining teams at-large. Now most years, those 7 teams SHOULD include 1-3 out of the Big 10, and the SEC gets the rest. But will politics come into play? Will they try to impose an artificial conference quota and throw an extra ACC and/or Big 12 team in there? When I look at the SEC for next season, I see at least 6 teams capable of making the field. Maybe more depending on how LSU and OU reload. If they all play up to expectations, will they make it? Or will 1-2 of them get snubbed in favor of a middling Clemson or Texas Tech team (for example)? You know, out of "fairness". What you are saying is that if ANY team will get screwed over, it would be us.
