Prior to the UF gig, Will Muschamp was the "HC-in-waiting" at Texas for what seemed like forever, what was his deal? - musubi Jan 7, 12:05 4
- He had a formal contract stating he'd be head coach when Mack Brown retired. - David Jan 7, 12:08 2
  - Ah, ok, thanks. (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 12:10 1
    - It was largely to justify his pay raise and secure his short term loyalty during coaching-poaching season. His salary more than doubled. -- nm - David Jan 7, 12:12
- I don't know but if I'm Mack Brown, I don't want to go out on last season's record -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 12:07

- Your playing MWC schools next year that in itself is an upgrade -- nm - eag Jan 7, 11:54
- I was hoping Texas might poach the DC you "gave" us, but they realized Miss. State's was better. -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:52 1
  - next year, just 10 men on the field! -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 11:55

  - though I think Hawaii will follow to the MWC, if they haven't announced already -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 11:51 1
    - I don't know if it's official, but acknowledged as inevitable. (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:52
- I'll never mock their schedule. If any of the "big boys" had any balls, Boise would play them. - Jim Jan 7, 11:50 5
  - it is amazing how "big" teams are willing to schedule the University of Idaho but not Boise State -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 11:55 3
    - The absolute best scheduling karma story was when Michigan cancelled their game with Hawaii because they wanted a cupcake - musubi Jan 7, 11:58 1

Does the Canon Rebel do multishot (that is, where it takes a bunch of pictures in sequence and gives you one single good picture)? -- nm - Mop (215 lbs) Jan 7, 11:49 6
- to answer your questions, the Rebel Xsi does not . Not sure about the newer models though -- nm - decline Jan 7, 12:14
- Here's an example of a digital CCD that does multi-shot (it's not a DSLR, though). -- (link) - Mop (215 lbs) Jan 7, 12:00 1
  - this mode takes 16 pics and arranges them in a 4x4 grid in one pic -- nm - marcel Jan 7, 12:07
- are you talking about patchwork panarams? (that's down with software afterwards) ? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 7, 11:55
- i doubt that it does it in-camera. very few DSLRs are able to do that -- nm - marcel Jan 7, 11:52 1
  - that is, if you mean that all the pics get combined into one picture. not just series of pictures and you pick one -- nm - marcel Jan 7, 11:55
"As you can imagine, I've been a little busy with the new job. Not a lot of time to post. If you jumped off the wagon, it's time to jump back on. - John Elway's Facebook Status Jan 7, 11:48 1
- That cinches it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:49
How would you like to go to school on a decommissioned aircraft carrier? -- (link) - Beaker Jan 7, 11:46 7
- I would imagine that for 99% of the crew its like dwelling 24hrs a day in a cave, when they do a daily FOD search (walk the flight deck for foriegn .. - zeitgeist Jan 7, 11:52 1
  - plus it a small ship actually - Danedukenuuk Jan 7, 11:54
- I wonder how closely the Chinese military will be looking over it -- nm - Roger More Jan 7, 11:51 4
  - won't be much to be looking at i presume -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 7, 11:53 3
    - China has purchased several old retired aircraft carriers to help it figure out how to make them -- nm - Roger More Jan 7, 11:56 2
      - well it's still the seller that decides how much the buyer will be able to make out of it -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 7, 12:12
      - I remember a few years ago Argentina offered up an old carrier (US WW2 surplus) for $10m and wondered if any dot.com'r would get it -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 7, 12:03
so, in this story about sisters being released from prison after one donates a kidney to the other, all i can think is: -- (link) - Andie Jan 7, 11:41 11
- $11 -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:42 10
  - and alredy served 16 years -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 7, 11:49

  - i know. it's insane. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 11:42 4
    - When the threat is "your money or your life" I am not interested in adjusting the punishment based on how much happened to be in the victim's pocket. - Max Jan 7, 11:55 3
      - so the punishment is in your mind both humane and uncruel? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 7, 12:00
      - i agree that they should have gone to jail. but far far greater crimes are given far lighter sentences. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 11:59 1
        
        Word you have murderers (they call it manslaughter) who get less of a sentence then these 2 idiots. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:00
ST Alert: Kylie Minogue has announced Canada and Mexico shows this spring! She's apparently adding a US Run in between them! - MDH Jan 7, 11:39 6
- Wow. she's running from Canada to Mexico? -- nm - decline Jan 7, 11:43 5
  - I will run to Canda if need be to see this. -- nm - MDH Jan 7, 11:49 4
    - we have a spare bed! you are welcome to it.:) -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 11:49 3
      - Thanks! I forget, are you in Toronto or Montreal? - MDH Jan 7, 11:52 2
        
        Toronto. directly north across Lake Ontario from Niagara Falls. - Andie Jan 7, 11:55
        
        It's all the same city. Canada's so small -- nm - Roger More Jan 7, 11:53
repost - billboards go up around Columbus taunting Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee -- (link) - crash davis Jan 7, 11:33 2
- That is good -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 11:37
- LOVE this story. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:35
CAN'T YOU SEE THIS LUCK IS TEARING US APRT!?! -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:32 27
- Can't we go back to arguing something less controversial like Ralph Wiggum's sleeping habits? -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:39 1
  - or the rules of Wipeout -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:41
- I can't help but think that since you, David and I all agree on this, the rest of the board should just admit they're wrong - Jim Jan 7, 11:33 24
  - hey, I'm all for Luck staying school too -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 11:43
  - Add me to that list... - Fighting Stephen! Jan 7, 11:39 1
    - See? Now this topic has bridged the gap between liberal and conservative. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 11:40
  - As if you three aren't almost alwasy wrong anyway. (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:37 11
    - I'd be a lot more worried if *you* were arguing on my side. Ron Artest and Pedro Astacio say hi, by the way. -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:40 10
      - You wouldn't like me arguing with you because I acknowledge when I'm wrong. (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:50 9
        
        *waits for it today* -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:51 1
        
        I haven't been wrong today. You, however...... (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:54
        
        All evidence to the contrary as demonstrated by your IM! - David Jan 7, 11:51 6
        
        What in the blue blazes are you talking about? (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:54 5
        
        Inception. -- nm - David Jan 7, 12:05 2
        
        So you're telling me that Pedro Astacio was a dream? (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 12:07 1
        
        His success happened on a level of the dream that only you can access. -- nm - David Jan 7, 12:08
        
        I think he's starting to get all of your wrongness confused. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 11:55 1
        
        There is just, So. Much. Of it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:56
  - how can I be wrong if I have no idea what you're talking about? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:37 1
    - or don't care? -- nm - Roger More Jan 7, 11:38
  - However znufrii's on your side as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:34 5
    - Honestly, znu does not really grasp what is going on. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:37 3
      - Some jock must have really done a number on him in school. -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:39 2
        
        I wonder what her name was. (nm) - Fighting Stephen! Jan 7, 11:42 1
        
        zing -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 11:44
    - stopped clock and all that. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 11:35
  - *this* -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:33
WE DON"T WANT YOUR CHARITY! -- nm - Charity Jan 7, 11:30 29
- I'll settle for a 'pity' f*ck -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 7, 11:49
- I'll give you 10,000 used shoes, and you'll be grateful. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:31 27
  - all left ones? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 7, 11:46
  - Whoa, you really are a hoarder. -- nm - Amy Jan 7, 11:32 2
    - good one -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 11:33
    - *snort* -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:32
  - I bet people who don;t have shoes would be. -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:32 22
    - were you not around last year when we were discussing donating money vs. stuff to Haiti? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:33 21
      - a local SPCA/Humane Society is a different kettle of fish from an impoverished 3rd world country -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:35 20
        
        it's still best to ask the recipient what's best for them. and even easier in the case of dealing witha local org. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:37 16
        
        yes. charity should be based on need, not based on what you want to donate. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:38 15
        
        ... unless it is something you know they will use. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:38 14
        
        which means you asked them what they needed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:39 13
        
        You are right, and Beaker is wrong. No way stray dogs and cats need food or blankets unless they tell me so. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:41 12
        
        If you are goign to donate food, you need to ask what kidn of food they want. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:42 11
        
        I'm gonna go off the board for this one and say, "dog and cat food." - Jim Jan 7, 11:43 9
        
        if you show up with a pallet of Fancy Feast in tiny cans, you arenot helping the shelter. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:44 8
        
        what do you have against Fancy Feast? -- nm - znu's cat Jan 7, 11:44 7
        
        it's the tiny cans part. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:44 6
        
        Eh, an employee takes it home for their cat instead of stealing dry cat food from the shelter. Same dif. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:48 5
        
        that's a completely wasted donation, then. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:49 4
        
        I think it's a moot point. I can't imagine any Humane Society office turning down sealed pet food. - Jim Jan 7, 11:54 1
        
        I think mine would. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:56
        
        No, the employee does not steal the food that they *will* use. As I said, same dif. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:51 1
        
        so it works great - loosilu Jan 7, 11:54
        
        Agreed. I am going to go ask the cats and dogs what kind of food they want. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:43
        
        are they? They still have to store donated items if they can't use them. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:36 2
        
        if a SPCA or Humane Society doesn't need food it would be a first that I could recall -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:38 1
        
        maybe they don't want the kind of food you're giving. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:39
