And OU #1? I'm fine with that if we implement the OU rule. No matter where OU is at the end of the season they don't get to go to the BCS National Title.



Speaking of college football. Where can I hit LIKE on this forum? I like ^^^^ the name.

I can get in on that one T. Perhaps I should have told FTB that the cheerleaders and overall quality of the coeds are better in Tuscaloosa!

Hey tsquare, my wife & I are Nebraska fans, she went to school there, remember 1997? I felt sorry for Peyton that day!

Nebraska is embarking on a journey into the Big 10 Conference this year after leaving the Big 12 because the U of Texas got the majority of the proceeds from that conference.

This year the Huskers play Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin...it'll be a fun year of college football.

Orange Bowl? Yup.. I was there. That is the day that chris fowler uttered that famous phrase that will forever place him just one rung below lane kiffin on the all time UT most hated people of all time. He said.. on air... "Tennessee fans are nothing but trailer trash." While that might be true, he has no right to say that about our pledges.. only WE can say that about our pledges..

And I think coach D said that 80 or 90% of our team is freshmen and sophomores. This year might not be so good, but I feel great about next year..

I think they did not use reduced/FLEX thrust.

FO Polehinke is attributed as saying something about FLEX in the CVR at the gate:
Polehinke: (5:56:34) Right seat flex takeoff procedures off of um ... he said what runway? One of 'em. Two four.
But according to the NTSB "Group Chairman's Factual Report"
www.courier-journal.com/assets/B257636117.PDF ref page 19
"The Operations Group determined that at the accident conditions of an aircraft weight of 49,087 lbs., a temperature of 24° C and a departure from runway 22 at LEX, the Thrust Setting chart indicated that a Reduced “Flex” Thrust takeoff was not available. The FDR indicated that the accident flight performed a full power takeoff."

The CVR transcript is here:

I admit that was a little mean. My buddy came up with that rule but he went to Colorado.

I will say I meant more after the 04 debacle by it turns out it should've been OU vs AUB all along.

Default Buy Delta...

Another analyst today recommends buying Delta:

"In a similar vein, I recently said the management team at Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL) was doing well by sharply cutting expenses in this era of economic uncertainty, holding off on any major investments to focus on continued free cash flow generation. The airline industry is a notoriusly bad place to be when the economy slows, which is why shares are falling sharply. But Delta's management team is rewriting this history with a much wiser approach to cash management. Might the airline industry weaken in 2012? Sure, but Delta's weaker rivals are likely to feel much greater pain, cutting back in places that allow Delta to seize the advantage."
