An 8 team playoff would allow all competitive teams to decide it on the field, and I can't see how that isn't a money maker - look at how much the networks make in March. Millions of people who know fuck-all about college hoops get in on brackets and get excited when Colgate beats Wichita State. No one gives a shit about the current bowl system before Jan 1st. Know who is playing in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl? That's right: 8-4 Florida International vs. 6-6 Marshall. Someone explain to me how that's a money maker but a playoff isn't. Give the Top 4 Conference’s automatic bids, but make those AQs dependant on conference performance (so a 7-4 UConn doesn't get in to a BCS game like last year). Give the other 4 according to the final BCS. This year your 8 playoff teams would be: AQs from the 4 best conferences (in my opinion): LSU Okla St Oregon Wisconsin 4 Wild cards: Stanford Bama Bosie St Arkansas If you think the ACC is better than the Big-12 then Clemson would be in and Arkansas would loose the wild card to Oklahoma St. The only 1 loss team not in the picture this year would be Houston, who in my opinion doesn't deserve to be. In years past this would have given Boise St & TCU shots at the title that so many think they deserved. It also would have given the undefeated 2004 Auburn Tigers the title they were denied. I think if you go back every year since 1998 and looked at a suystem like this, no one is loosinga legitimate shot at winning it off, and no one is VOTING on the best team. And if the NCAA insists, we can still watch 8-4 Rutgers play 6-6 Iowa play in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

I flew with an O-6 a couple days ago in the AOR and he told me "a couple" MC-12 guys are being show the door for doing barrel rolls in the King Air. If its true that could have had something to do with it.

I'd call the registrar at the TN ANG and verify that you actually have a class. I was scheduled to do requal academics/sims at LRAFB and then fly in Nashville. About a week into academics a Guard guy in my class said his unit had called to say the Nashville gig was cancelled and he'd do the whole thing at LRAFB. Turns out that was true for my whole class, although neither the TRS at Little Rock or my old base ever bothered to tell me. I firmly believe that if that dude wasn't in my class I would have driven to Nashville and been told to go back to Arkansas. The reason they gave at the time was they didn't have enough healthy tails to run a requal class, so maybe they have turned it back on. At any rate I'd do some research before you make plans to stay in Nashville (which should be epicly awesome if you can swing it).

The very next post: Sorry that just made me laugh out loud. I was a casual Lt at RAF Lakenheath with the 493rd FS. Guys started comming back from lunch saying a plane hit the WTC and speculating on the reason. I initally thought of the B-25 that hit the Empire State Bldg and figured it was a similar case of bad weather, etc. After the base went Delta and we turned on CNN to see a clear sky I just sat there like a fly on the wall listening to the Eagle guys start chomping at the bit. I was still a few months away from UPT so it was an incredible experience to see a fighter squadron gear up for war, send guys down range, and then see them home 2 weeks after they left when we found out the Taliban wasn't interested in playing airwar. I do remember for a couple months at least there was speculation that the squadron would actually deploy back to the states to support ONE.

Is anyone on here currently stationed with Chief Doucherocket? The lack of posts here and the Military Times forum (took me 3 days to get to the end!) from dudes there - except for some kiss ass 1st Shirt - makes me think they got put under a gag order of some sort. And for your enjoyment, what appears to be another 386EAW/All email:

So now a sortie is defined as a group of Airmen with more inportant shit to do getting Chiefed? This absurd abuse of aviator terminology has got to stop.

Ahhh yes. The Human Weapon System - how could I forget that little gem. Choke yourself. His name and pic are already posted. Here is his bio from what I assume is his home base: MOASC (Mother of All Shoe Clerks)

From that thread: Please SOMEONE post one of his previous messages.

I stayed at Ratama Ranch when I went through PIT. Average place, but reesonable rent and they allowed dogs. Can't remember if they had furnished places or not, but I rented a basic apartment setup through Aaron's. It's at the end of Pat Booker just of the Loop - maybe a 6-9 min drive to base (as long as there isn't a train!)

Don't think it was. His predecessor was the OG when these gals showed up in theatre. If it was a FunBurglar production, it came to fruition pretty quick. EDIT: "Upon further review" I found these pictures from a while back: So he at least was the OG by the time they flew. I swapped out of OKAS just 2 months before though and he wasn't the OG then.

Those G-town players will fit right in in the NBA.

What AT-6? It's already been pointed out that the picture you posted is a Tucano, not a T-6. You can tell by the 5 bladed prop, rounded as opposed to triangular starter air intake below the left cowling, FLIR (or whatever) in the nose as opposed to under the cokpit, and the fact that its has a Brazilian registration number (but odly that looks like a Colombian roundel on the aft fuseladge).

Above average flight overall, unfortuantely it's an UNSAT for landing. Chairfly.

I never want to stare at a computer screen that long without scrolling ever again.

Someone bump this thread when they fix it on driod.

Meh, he's a f*ckin' Marine, I'm sure he couldn't spell it either.
