Notes from a design guy on the revised Coke can. Was looking at this can last week and talking about the rev with someone…

Bummer, although you certainly don’t take things at face value.

Good times.

Not to beat the horrible personnel moves by Phoenix to death, but this blog post summarizes all the garbage maneuvers done over the last two years. Again, blame ownership, not the GMs.

Attn: Borders: TCU picked to win by Sunday Morning Quarterback.

Ha, awesome, bummer that the blog is no longer up.

I wish I were cool enough to get Bear Grylls to be my best friend. He rules.
[Not Suitable for Anyone Other Thank Mid-Major Wonks] Thanks for posting the TCU link. I’ve been peddling the “no-quarterback-who-knows-what-will-happen” line all spring/summer but I finally have to admit that I think Marcus Jackson (SO, QB) will be awesome. He was great in the opener against Baylor (when Ballard was injured and Jackson led the team to a come from behind victory) and every other game he was in was more of a mop-up/game manager role, and thus his stats are a little low but they also do not include any mistakes managing those games. I believed Patterson when he said that a QB did not win the starting job out of spring (between Jackson and a red-shirt freshman) but the Sullum comment makes me think that Patterson did not announce a starter so that he can stress the underdog/us-against-the-world mantra which has always been his way of motivating the team. Remember, former coveted recruit, Jason Snead, back-up to Colt McCoy at UT, wanted to come to TCU but Patterson wouldn’t promise him a starting job (he ended up at Ole Miss). Also, Bomar wanted to come to TCU after the OU car dealership scandal but Patterson declined. I don’t think he’d let those guys go unless he knew he had talent in the pipeline. [My point is enervated by the fact that Patterson chose to go with an injured Ballard over a seemingly healthy Jackson in the back-to-back losses last year and I'm concerned that their revered QB coach retired last year.] I could go on about why I’m pumped about this season (see Aaron Brown, Tommy Blake) but I’ll just indulge myself by listing why I’m excited for each of the non-conference games: 9/1 Baylor (the Baylor coach gave each of its players a dog tag inscribed with “Baylor-TCU; Sept. 1, 2007; Beat the Frogs” which probably describes where TCU stands more than any other preseason report); 9/8 UT (maybe the biggest game for TCU since 1984 with possible exception of the Southern Miss game in 2005); 9/22 SMU (homecoming, TCU’s natural rival and the team I would like them to crush more than any other), 10/13 Stanford (in Nor Cal).
Borders, I share your excitement for the new college football season. Shame Michigan and TCU aren’t playing…maybe in a BCS game this year?
