  1. I'm here to announce the Tupelo Waves' retirement from the TRF leagues.

     

    I enjoyed playing and being a part of a great bunch of good sports, but I've got too much on my real-life plate to play anymore.

     

    I wish everyone the best of luck this season and in the future.

  3. As of 10:30 a.m. CT, there are nine teams in the league. With an odd number of teams, we can't draft.

     

    If there's still nine teams by 1:30 p.m., I'll delete my squad (TB Permanent Waves) so the draft can go on as planned. I have a team in TRF1.

     

     

    UPDATE (1:31 p.m.) - Team deleted. Draft away and enjoy the season!

     

     

  4. I say eliminate the conferences. Who really cares about playing for a conference championship ...

     

    Keep six divisions, but under this setup:

     

    North - Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto

    East - Boston, NY Rangers, NY Islanders, Philadelphia, New Jersey

    South - Washington, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Florida, Nashville

    Central - Minnesota, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, Columbus

    Northwest - Colorado, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg

    Southwest - San Jose, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Phoenix, Dallas

     

    The six division champions and 10 wild-card teams make the playoffs with basic playoff pairings (1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15, etc.)

    Why aren't any of you commenting on the farce of what theh SEC is doing and in particular, what the NCAA is dong.  Auburn, and every other team in the nation, has been given a free pass for parents to pimp out their kids. 

    Do any of you remember what happened to SMU football?

    With its decision, the NCAA has created the "Sgt. Schultz" eligibility loophole.

     

    If the NCAA investigates an allegation of a player's parent/guardian asking for money, all the kid, the coaches and the college have to do to escape punishment is make like the character from "Hogan's Heroes" and say, "I know nothing!"

    Okay.  I'm over it.  Looks like it will probably be Greensboro, though I may wait to see what the rest of the year holds - perhaps Atl. will be added.  I got spoiled on my 3rd row seat last time and so don't want to take lame seats in back.  But I can't really justify travel costs AND another high-price ticket for the same tour.

    After expressing my early excitement over the Nashville date, I've thought it over. I might wait until the rest of the schedule is announced before making a committment -- unless someone is sure she wants to meet up with me in the Music City this time. If that's the case, then Nashville it is.

     

    It'd be nice to return to Atlanta since I had a great time at the show there in September. Kinda hoping for Memphis (only 90 miles from me) to show up on the upcoming leg, but I doubt it.

    When you start singing the chorus of "In the Mood" at 7:45pm

    I heard 'In the Mood' and 'Nobody's Hero' on the radio for the first time yesterday.

     

    Thank you, Sirius/XM, for playing real classic rock. It puts to shame the half-dozen alledged classic rock FM stations heard in this radio market.

     

     

    You know you're a Rush fan when you occasionally update your Facebook status with Rush lyrics and the same 10 or so people click the 'Like' link each time. That's followed by someone clueless responding to the status, asking me if I'm on drugs.

    A favorite George Carlin snippet:

    "Ever wonder why no one ever seems to get laid on Thanksgiving? I think it's because all the coats are on the bed."

    I'll think about that comment when I push the coats aside to take my annual Thanksgiving nap in my old bedroom. laugh.gif Thanks, Mara.

  9. Dear cute blonde Zumba instructor who attends my church,

     

    You tempt me with your sexy smile and firm body, and I like it when you give me a tight, squeezing hug when I serve as a greeter. Everyone else gets only a handshake from me. Also, when you stand in front of me during the service, all my eyes want to do is check out your fine butt.

     

    I'm so bad.

     

    Sincerely,

    Your friendly dirty old man

  10. I haven't been on much since the Atlanta show. I could say I went through Rush burnout or my work has picked up. But to be honest, my life since then has turned into the Eagles' song "Take it Easy." I got a world of trouble on my mind. laugh.gif
  11. Not only do we enjoy Thanksgiving at my parents' home, we throw an early birthday party for my paternal grandmother.

     

    My grandmother turns 94 this year. Here's a photo of her from last year's birthday.

     

    She loves her gospel music and her ball games on TV. We give thanks for every day this great lady is with us.
