M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

We have a local HS coach who is very well liked and respected. He raises his voice a lot, but has always told his players to "listen to WHAT I am saying, not how loud I'm saying it". That is a pretty good approach.

It doesn't work on my wife. She just keeps telling me to lower my voice.

[Tony G]

The screamer approach was far more prevalent 40 years ago

[UMStan White]

You haven't been watching Kelly at ND

[Tony G]

I didn't say it was extinct. :-)

[Mike]

Or effective.

[WingsFan]

I wonder what the ohio fans here think of this?

[hack]

They're prefer it to a lot of things, actually. Even if it means they have to take a shower.

I've seen the exact same shirt being sold by Hawkeye vendors and Illini vendors. I think entropy posted a link to the Iowa one, which targeted Nebraska rather than Michigan.

The Illinois one still favored Michigan.

I wonder what the ohio fans here think of this?

Stay classy, Ohio.

Love McCarthy!

Sean:

My son tonight: "I know Tim Peters won the truck series race in the Toyota 17. Will you DVR the end of the Nationwide race so I can see who wins? I hope it's not Joey Logano."

Poor kid.

talent, your son's IQ appears to be a good 2 to 3 standard deviations above the mean for your state. Perhaps he'll share his mother's good fortune and graces and choose to pursue her alma mater, as opposed to the "lemming approach" the rest of you seem to adhere to! Heh!

Kid knows his NASCAR! Hope he got to see a recording of last Saturday night. That was "Old Bristol"! Bruton got it right. I'm telling you, when you and your brother decide to go, go Bristol or Darlington.

I never thought I'd ever watch NASCAR, let alone enjoy it. But I really look forward to watching races with him. He gets so excited. Even the Nationwide races -- I watch them with him if they're on before he goes to bed. He can even watch most of the race -- and definitely the DVR'd end -- only taking a break to race his cars.

One day, hopefully soon, that energy will be diverted, a bit, to football. For now, though, I'll settle for watch races with him and enjoying his enthusiasm (even when my car(s) goes behind the wall).

Talent, This is my Tennessee buddy (GOTNVOLS13) , radiologist, so he's good for it with respect to the pool. He is attempting to solicit a few of his co-workers as well.

[iam416]

Thanks for letting me know, OP. A friend of mine in Nashville is also in the pool and he's been soliciting folks, too. I assumed that was one of his.
