Huddles are manly, I can do manly. I've always wanted to a QB too, everyone wanted me to play O-line but I wanted to be a star getting all of the pretty cheerleaders and not just the ones with the big British smiles... if I was lucky.

Speaking of cheerleaders, did anyone see the Dallas game in their new stadium last night? These things are HD, and I had to look this up, and measure 160' x 71' in size, there are 2 of them with 2 smaller but still gigantic screens on each end. Its 11,000 sq ft of HD. They're awesome, not only do they mess up punts in mid flight but your favorite cheerleaders are now 160 feet tall!! Thats sure to keep you distracted from the mess of a team down below. I want to see a concert there though, say Sugarland... mmmm... 160 foot tall Jennifer Nettles.

Sorry about the drift, please return to discussing MOU7, RJDC, Lawson, AE, VD, or the fact that the Florida Gators are ranked preseason #1. I still love the fact they've won two national championships, destroyed a lot of teams but are still 0-2 against Auburn under Coach Meyer.

But hey, I can cheer for Florda:

Mine didn't move so I think you are correct and that's how i read section 7 C7a2 as well. I think only AE, VD and reinstatement awards have to red bid the month or prior to their conversion.

Seems odd that we had so many for September, but none for October.
We have a lot of training starting next month. Might not be wise to sit there with a lot of SIL's....

I noticed the gaytors reference. Slip of the finger on the old keyboard, huh? If Meyer sees stuff like that, the first string stays in.

New K Now

Uh yeah, yeah.. my finger slipped... that's it. But I am flattered that you think my input would have any bearing on meyer's game plan. I think Kiffen has punched him in the mouth hard enough to cause a seeking of revenge.. but that's OK.. we aren't supposed to win, and what goes around.. comes around. But a serious comment: It's all gators' to lose. And with a lame schedule like they have, (the SEC ain't up to usual standards.. that you cannot argue) if they aren't playing for the trophy... well that's just sad.

DL's giving away more of our (or fNW) flying. Isn't it enough that we gave AS basically their entire route structure. AS is almost an overlay of the Western route map we dismantled in short order. Gets kind of old. Meanwhile I'm sure there's another route from Atlanta to BFE on the horizon.

We've gotta give them something so the overlap isn't too much for the DOJ when we announce the merger next year. Whatcha think, category and class or DOH??

Oh bite your tongue!!

Last thing I need is merger where everyone was hired 2 years earlier than me.

It does make you wonder what the SIL would look like, I mean on one side you have DAL, where nearly 40% of the flying is widebody international. On the other side you have Alaska, where ALL of the flying is narrowbody domestic...................
