Okay, in honor of American Idol and the fact I just got SC for tomorrow, I'm going to do this one pic for Satch.

You see a couple of years ago when Satan, I mean Saban was new at Alabama they were very pitiful. They lost to LA-Monroe of all teams right before Auburn whacked them for like the 6th time in a row I think. And there was this Alabama blog that I'd hurry to go read just to enjoy their pain but it was funny, every time they lost the blogger would put up a picture of Katherine McPhee to make his fellow Roll Tiders feel better.

So here you go Satch:

Too bad you have to be a NewK, or a NewK knock-off like Tom Selleck, to get a McPhee.

So you should treat for a round too because Bama did beat UT:D. Maybe you could join us for an SEC golf outing.

While the near-term outlook appears to be improving and could get even rosier with another big merger, the long-term picture remains as challenging as ever.

Is it just me but are the waits for scheduling unacceptably long? Here it is 0630 and on hold listening to elevator music for 20+ minutes. Every time I call it is minimum 10 minute hold. I hate to say this but other than irops never had to wait this long at Nwa. Are that understaffed due to the merger or has it always been like this?

I agree the hold-times are unacceptably long. I never waited this long before the merger (I'm a former DAL-S guy) so I'm betting it's the increased call volume coupled with all the administrative position reductions. They tried to get them to do more with less, but it's not happening. I wonder if there's a system for keeping track of hold-times. Should we just start doing COR's everytime we give up and hang up after 10+ minutes on hold?

She also said they have a much less technologically advanced system, & still do some scheduling with pencil/paper. No joke, her words exactly. I think they're a little strained right now.
