Dave Hart, I fear for your very life!!!

http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2012/11/30/tennessee-do-you-want-underachieving-florida-state-coach-jimbo-fisher/

so, if what they're saying is true, who's gonna hold Dave Hart accountable for this COLLOSSAL screw up, and I do mean collosal,.. you had the "(gruden-er golden fleece") in the palm of your hand, all but signed, sealed and delivered, and you PASSED.. are you kidding me!! Make that face, just like Skip Bayless or Stephen A. Smith would,.. "seriously,..are YOU freakin' KIDDIN' me,.. C'mon, Man,.. this amounts to Athletic Director Malpractice, at the very least,.and I'd be a little more than surprised if there's not a serious bona fide assassination attempt on Dave Hart sometime in the near future,..and I'm not even kidding,.. these people are RICH, they OWN GUNS, they have lots of money for lawyers,.. and woh,.. ,..and they are (and I can't blame them),.. VERY PISSED off,.... are you kidding me, Dave Hart,... tell me you didn't pass on John Gruden, THE WHITE WHALE of
EVERY imaginable job opening in the last 20 years,..and you passed,. you can't be serious,..can you?!!!

So, let me get this straight,..
you like JIMBO FISHER for this job,.. the same Jimbo Fisher who just got CRUSHED by the Gators, in their own house,.. Jimbo Fisher, who has the Florida State gig,..which we judge to be a MUCH better gig than Tennessee, at this point,..and that's your answer,..no, no, no ,..
when they HAND you John Gruden on a silver platter,... and he has a few demands,.. you MEET THEM,..are you listening to me,.. MR. HART,. that's ALL you do, and you say thank you very much,..you don't push YOUR agenda on the Tennessee folks,.. you LET the booster do what they do,..and say thank you,...

what the hell,..this is athletic director malpractice, at the very least,..and worse,...

puh-lease,..

What do you think,..? Clay?

Peyton Manning - EGO-maniacal

what a friggin EGO this guy has,.. can you believe this - tell momma to hold the phone - Peyton decided NOT to come to Nashville 'cause he thought he would be too BIG of a deal here,.. this is Nashville, baby,.. MUSIC CITY, USA,.. we have REAL talent here,. not just folks that can choke away football championships,.. you know.

Okay, so, you're a Bronco now,.. you think THAT's not gonna be a fish-bowl,.. good luck with that,.. at least here you have QUITE a few stars to take the heat off, at least when it's not football season,..i'M PRETTY sure ALL that Denver has is the Broncos,.. while we actually have a few outside interests here in town besides Sunday afternoons,.. anyway, that's my take,.. gee whiz,.. can't WAIT - really hope we (the Titans) can get to the playoffs, at least long enough to knock the Broncos out at least ONCE over the next few years,.. that's gonna be my driving force,...

Peyton-a TITAN!!

Okay, so, I never really even considered this possibility, at least, until the other day, when ol' T.S. Bud Adams seems to have woke up and realized that Peyton was a free agent,..
then it was like,.. hello,..
anyway,.. this is my push,.. I'll add to the party, "come to Tennessee, Peyton,",.. make my tickets worth something next year,... and let's get you to that "Manning Bowl", that you're looking for,.. you know Eli can get there,.. as long as he gets his team focused, which they seem to do just around playoffs every  now and again,..

Let's get it on!!!

Peyton Manning to - the RAMS?!??!!

 Ya'll remember when Jeff Fisher pulled this particular stunt, don't you? So, not as crazy as it sounds,.. GAWD,..think I could get paid for this stuff, wouldn't you? I DO believe that's where our golden haired boy is gonna end up, think about it,.. you got to know he respects Fisher, and you know that goes both ways, hell, they probably got a secret love-child somewhere in Montana, don'tcha know.
Anyway, this makes god awful GREAT sense to me, and it should to you to, look at the case here,.. or I'll state it, then,
the Rams are WAY under the cap, and have exactly no offensive talent, Peyton could bring his slowly building entourage intact, he's already got Reggie Wayne with him, Dallas Clark, too, think Jeff Saturday's in, and who else did we hear, Garcon, the goober, believe he went ahead and resigned with the colts, no matter, got Steven Jackson, a BEAST, he's got at least this next  year to be good to go for,.. think how he'd be rejuvenated by the entourage,.. can you imagine, Peyton with a "punishing" running game,.. seriously,.. don't they also have the beginnings of a fair to middlin' O-line there, as well,.. they used to have the two biggest Tackles in the world,.. anyway,.. Saturday can get those boys in line pretty quickly,.. all that leaves is just a few tweaks here and there,.. on the defensive side of the ball, and what up?,.. who ya got,.. Jeff Fisher,.. pretty decent defensive mind there, on him,.. now that Gregg Williams won't be around to go all blitz wacky,.. think they may even have a legitimate shot at a ring, or three,..

Peyton, you've really got to give the Rams some serious, and I mean SERIOUS consideration,.. what ya'll think?

The Geometry of Surveying

In years past, I spent a considerable period of time as a surveying technician with private firms and government agencies across the United States. I was never a licensed surveyor, but I worked at various times as chainman, instrument operator, party chief, and office technician. One aspect of the profession that still attracts me is the geometry. The work of surveyors is intrinsically dependent upon the fact of certain geometric concepts.

Surveying procedures are based on geometry, but they propagate mostly through training and tradition. Unfortunately, bad practices are passed along the same way. By maintaining a connection with the underlying theory, we can understand our work better and perhaps avoid trouble. On the job, I sometimes tried to influence others on questions of procedure, but my success was spotty. People simply did not connect with those three-dimensional sketches that I would draw in the air with my finger. That is the motivation behind this article. After all these years away from it, I am taking time to explain some of my points properly.
