  1. Personally, I think Buddy was less referring to the Bills being super active on day 1 and more on being active on more middle-tier guys to fill holes than top of the line talent. And I'm totally OK with that this year. They made their big splash last year; fill some holes at CB, LB, TE and then go out and draft a QB at #8 if Geno or Barkley are still there; follow that up with OG depth in round 2, where there's a lot of talent available.
  2. I used to hold that opinion of Texas until I moved to Austin. Not sure about Houston (haven't really been or lived there), but Austin and San Antonio totally aren't like that.
  3. I hope all people that have attitudes like yours hate Texas.
  4. 12 AM Saturday March 9th = now.
  5. Here in Texas, we just build cities really spread out, so no one bikes around.
  6. I ride my bike down my neighborhood road and into the local park. Screw you, Chef Jim!
  7. Did Whaley have any influence on that?
  8. Check out this post J2 made on Buffalo Rumblings, great stuff: http://www.buffaloru...icks-at-combine Explores a potential link between strong combine performances and Buddy Nix drafts.
  9. I think it's cool you like ****ty quarterbacks
  10. All of you saying he's getting paid too much are saying it too soon IMO. We have yet to see what the structure of the deal is like. His agent wanted him to be the highest paid QB in the league, and the Ravens weren't going to let him go. They may have gotten creative with the structure of the deal with a plan to restructure him in a few years.
  11. I think UT did probably the biggest one:
  12. Has no one in this thread watched Better Off Ted? Really think it fits with this board's sense of humor: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Better_Off_Ted/70140361?locale=en-US
  13. That doesn't apply to posting skills, right?
  14. I've seen this happen a few times at my office, although thankfully the one person I hired that was a personal reference seems to be OK. You will be looked at (for better or for worse) as someone who recommended her if you're listed as a reference, they know you, and they get hired. It will also be obvious that you two are friends to your coworkers when she gets hired - and you two will be connected, whether or not you want to be. In my opinion, your best bet is to be honest with her. Let her know that while you want to try to help her get an awesome job at the University, you're worried about her particular fit in this department. Explain that you think the work environment might not be the best for her and lead to conflicts that would look bad on her, whether or not it's her fault. Give a couple examples from the previous role of where the work environment is similar. Also explain to her that you'll tell them all the awesome parts of her, but that, due to your position as an "insider" in this org, you also have to be honest about your experiences in a similar work environment in the past. If she's a good friend, or a professional worth hiring, she'll understand.
  15. It's titled correctly. It's just that the list in your head is "The funniest comedies of all time to an old fart".
  16. Seriously lol. One big ommission IMO: Better Off Ted. For all you wondering about Party Down: http://www.starz.com/originals/partydown
  17. Pretty damn good list. Arrested Development, Seinfeld, Party Down, 30 Rock, and Curb Your Enthusiasm are all great shows. I'd probably order them: 1. Arrested Development 2. 30 Rock 3. Seinfeld 4. Party Down 5. Curb Your Enthusiasm But it's pretty close.
  18. We'll see. Part of the reason why they didn't do another season of 30 rock is because Comcast (who now owns NBC) wanted to make shows that appeal to a more "universal" audience. Probably means I'll hate them.
  19. CBS: The least watched network with the most #1 shows.
  20. TBH, I don't remember, because it had to do with specific configs. I read a while ago that certain combinations of hardware + certain games were having performance issues on Win 8, and one of my friends ran into it with EVE Online.
  21. Unless you're gaming on it. Gaming performance on Windows 8 in some situations isn't as good a windows 7.
  22. That's funny, NBC is the network out of those I watched the most. Because 30 rock was awesome. Other than that, nothing great on network tv.
