still no B Backdoors.

Hey, did Delta get ANYTHING out of this AA/USAir merger?? Everyone was talking cherrypicking, that we'd get some sort of fallout...
but so far as I see/know, we have gotten nada while JB and SWA etc. have grabbed a bunch of slots?

That thing is so ugly that when it lands they're going to turn off the surveillance cameras.

It's actually a C-17. Added bonus...passengers just walk up the ramp to board. They are still working on how to back it in to a gate.

Why don't they have mixed double luge? Maybe that's our code word for back door schedules. Mixed double luge.

College Football's Most Predictable Coaches
Lane Kiffin

What’s So Predictable: Driving a program to the ground



The Skinny

Lane Kiffin has been a black cloud for whatever team has taken a chance on him.

In 2007, the 38-year-old became the head coach of the Oakland Raiders. In a season and a half, he put together a laughable 5-15 mark before being fired.

Kiffin’s tenure featured several mishaps--including attempting a 76-yard field—leading Al Davis to claim, “I think he conned me like he conned all you people.”

It wasn’t long before the Lincoln, Nebraska, native found himself another job, becoming the head coach of Tennessee in 2009.

But just like with the Raiders, Kiffin’s tenure with the Vols was controversial. He called out Urban Meyer before even coaching a game, was involved in a hostess recruiting scandal and was a victim of a Steve Spurrier jab.

Oh, and there was the fact that he bolted Knoxville after one year to the dismay of almost everyone in the state.

Next up was USC in 2010. And although Kiffin spent a little more than three seasons at the helm, that didn’t mean it was positive.

Things began on a high note, as he led the Trojans to a 10-2 record in just his second year and had them ranked as the preseason No. 1 heading into 2012. But that’s about as good as it got.

From there, all that followed were embarrassing losses, players only meetings and getting fired in an airport parking lot after midnight.

We can only hope and pray—unless you’re an Auburn fan or Alabama hater—that his bad luck streak doesn’t continue as an assistant in Tuscaloosa.
