The dispatcher said they had 6 turnovers??!!

And what happened to Bama?

I taped them all on Uverse. I've watched the second half of the FSU-Oregon game three times. I've watched the OSU-Bama game once. BTW, I'm going to JNB tonight to take my family on a safari. Tried to convince them that the Wild Animal Safari down in Pine Mountain, GA was just as good.

So we can shoot the animals a the wold safari at Pine Mountain? Freaking awesome. It'll be more fun than that day Satchip took down the deer at the petting zoo in Sylacauga.

This is the Oregon fsu game on YouTube. Someone cut out everything but the plays and big replays. Goes from a four hour show to 1:30.

Watch "2015 Rose Bowl: #3 Florida State Seminoles vs #2 O" on YouTube
2015 Rose Bowl: #3 Florida State Seminoles vs #2 O: http://youtu.be/0fAswo1rkjQ

This is the greatest game in history:
Watch "Alabama vs Auburn 2013" on YouTube
Alabama vs Auburn 2013: http://youtu.be/-a9j8jLrU-I

And Bama game also snipped...

Watch "2015 Sugar Bowl: #1 Alabama vs #4 Ohio State" on YouTube
2015 Sugar Bowl: #1 Alabama vs #4 Ohio State: http://youtu.be/QVe917rkOzo

And in all fairness the Auburn vs Wisconsin game.

Watch "Wisconsin vs Auburn Outback BowlYouTube
Wisconsin vs Auburn Outback Bowl Highlights:

That letter from our new President indicates to me that the transformation is complete.

Even more telling than the sentence you quote is this one:

"In many ways, traditional unionism doesn't work for us."

Dave Behncke just rolled over in his grave.

ALPA is now in complete partnership with management. Moakism is here.

I have serious reservations about the wisdom of going down this path but the membership has clearly endorsed it.
Maybe it will work. We've been really cooperative and given management pretty much everything they've asked for over the last few years. Hopefully they will see fit to reward us with a few contract enhancements.

What I'm wondering though, is why this new age labor/management paradigm should still cost 1.9% of my pay? It seems like we should be able to make some cutbacks to all the negotiating budgets and grievance staffing and strike preparations and contingency funds and a lot of other stuff.

Thanks for the You Tube game links FTB, I owe you a 12 pack of Torpedo for that! Since my Patsies have the weekend off, I'll be watching Jamis pay for his sins, and Bama pay for...well...just for being Bama!

Hey Nick, got a second?? ;^)

The only way I can make any sense out of this 'new labor relationship' is if National is so afraid of our politicians allowing cabotage, NAI, Emirates into more major US Cities, etc. they have promised both the A4A and the wh0res who vote in all the new laws up in DC, that there will be NO work stoppages anytime in the near future, over contract disputes, etc.

"Thank you sir, may I have another" seems to be their battle cry.
