  - with a large enough tv, i could do it, - tRuMaN Nov 28, 07:23 2

- I bought an Aroma 6-cup one, for my brother, a few months back: Works great, less than $30, and is small enough to not clog up valuable counter space -- nm - Flavorize Nov 28, 06:52 7
  - that is our brand and we use it once every two weeks - seems fine. One thing I did learn - rice type makes all the difference - Epiphany Nov 28, 06:54 6
    - it seems the fuzzy logic kind is required for non-basic rice cooking? does anyone here *cook* in theirs? patryk does; he has a normal one, though. - amanda Nov 28, 07:05
    - and there are also grades of white rice. If you have an asian market anywere close, go there for your rice - decline Nov 28, 07:02 1

  - I understand they're the best but they're also the most costly. I need a training wheels rice cooker, not a Bugatti rice cooker. But thanks. -- nm - Amanda Nov 28, 06:29 3
    - but, but, but... it sings twinkle twinkle little star! -- nm - decline Nov 28, 06:36 2
      - more small appliances should sing. -- nm - Andie Nov 28, 06:42

What time does David check in. I'm seeing stuff all over the place about Gruden to UT and it involving partial Browns ownership. - volnelk Nov 28, 05:28 14
- In addition to what Kim has said, there have been four variations of the Gruden rumor thus far. - David Nov 28, 07:05
- Gruden "denied" it on Mike and Mike this morning. - Kim Pine Nov 28, 05:55 12
  - [deleted] 1
    - Gruden, Les Miles and Tommy Tuberville must have the same agent -- nm - Strongbad Nov 28, 06:37
  - Agreed. When it comes to this stuff, you never really know. - volnelk Nov 28, 05:58 5
    - If they don't get Gruden, the fans are pretty much going to reject *everyone* else. - Kim Pine Nov 28, 06:05 4
      - Agreed to both your post AND your IM. -- nm - volnelk Nov 28, 06:26 2
        
        There are all kinds of people here who claim to have info that says Gruden is the guy. I just don't believe any of them. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 28, 06:38 1
        
        I found the information that the "academic side" of UT returned $18 million (6 per year) to the athletic side very interesting. -- nm - volnelk Nov 28, 06:40
      - If they were smart, theyd throw a ton of $$ at Clemson's HC and OC -- nm - Strongbad Nov 28, 06:11
  - (I'm not David, but I don't think his opinion will be terribly different.) -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 28, 05:57 3
    - Also, something that will significantly alter coverage is that ESPN is his current employer, so they won't be reporting anything. -- nm - volnelk Nov 28, 05:59 2
      - The one thing that has been *very* interesting is that there have just been no leaked stories about candidates in to interview. - Kim Pine Nov 28, 06:08 1
        
        Saw that. They were talking about a "2nd round" of candidates. I was like, who was the 1st round? -- nm - volnelk Nov 28, 06:22
