London is an awesome city to be on an expense report.
Is this an Ex Pat assignment? If so, wouldn't your company pick up the tab on rent? Or at least up to a certain budget?
I think he owned that lot.
God what a great place. From about 1998-2001 I probably spent 30-40 Friday nights a year at that place. I don't want to do the math on what i spent. I lived with my cousin at the time and his office was 1/2 mile away. And 2 of the waitresses were good friends.
I drank cheap beer, played pool, ate free popcorn, and let Chester tell me dirty jokes. One St. Patrick's Day I convinced one of my waitress friends to let me put a burned CD with a dozen Irish songs in the jukebox. I put in enough money to play all songs twice. Natives got restless. About 8 songs in they unplugged it to reset the system. But they didn't take out the CD for at least another year. Every time I came in I'd play 2 songs off the CD.
And you relax 50 feet from a highway with a cold Coors Banquet on draft.
I just noticed there is one obvious omission from their initial draft list--Sam Adams. That would have been the chef's kiss.
That's fucking hilarious if true.
But I think you'd have 3 big problems:
1. Ball security. Little arms and little hands would have trouble securing the ball.
2. Play would take too long to develop. Picking up a 100lb human with the right grip after they take the handoff and then launching them over the line has got to take longer than a regular play.
3. I don't think you'd actually get enough momentum to get them over the top of the pile unless you did it like a hammer throw. But then the ball security thing comes into play.
a whole 4 days, huh?
Late last year my wife brought up something I said when we were dating that hurt her feelings. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in February. And it wasn't anything as stupid as what you said.
I guess from my POV verbal commitments don't mean a whole hell of a lot these days. No one will stop recruiting you just because you are verbally committed. At least if they actually want you.
"Pay" as in drop a bag (or an envelope), or some sort of actual binding contract? Because if someone gives me a bag of money to commit 8 months before I'm allowed to sign an LOI, I'd probably do that and then figure out where I really want to go.
That would be outside the Carolina family, which they haven't done since Dean Smith retired.
But there isn't anyone obvious in the family tree that would be a good hire. Guthridge and Davis were handpicked by legends and I think the university had to hire them. Doherty seemed like a good hire at the time based on his success at ND. Williams was a no brainer. I can't think of a sitting legend or up and comer that has Carolina ties. Maybe that allows them to look at Beard.
