My first job was with the city parks dept.
Mowing grass during the summer months.
I was 14 at the time and the pay was $.50 an hour.
My first job on the Railroad was $.66 an hours 7 days a week.
I was 16 then.

Amen to that.
At the age of 80 I know that is true.

Meanwhile back to this year's bowl contest. The cream has finally come to the top, after Tulsa destroyed Ball St. Well it happen again. I have to play second fiddle. You are the true champ at picking the bowl games. Back in July I did not know if I would be able to do the picks this year But as the...

I can be a bit of a computer nerd, but to be honest, I'm not all that good with Excel. I do have QBasic installed and I could use that for my own personal use. If everyone uses Notepad and the format then only final input requires Excel. I just thought it might be cool to let some guys pull their C...

What a big mistake I made.
I went against my own system and picked Boise St.
when It perdict a TCU win by one point.

I can't believe I forgot about this until a few weeks ago. I see I still pick 70 to 75% winners straight-up. Eric, isn't that about the average? I like these pics, it reminds me why I don't gamble against the spread! Of all the pockets I've seen my money in...it looks best in mine. But the bulk of ...

The way I look at this, Mack Brown doesn't have much to argue about. His people were part of the group that approved the tie breakers in the B12. This isn't a BCS problem it is a B-12 problem - if anyone believes it is a problem. It's the way the cards fell. My only real beef is: Who are the two co...

How'd that bowl game go for Hawaii? Put the warriors in the SEC, than let's talk. Hawaii went undefeated because they played a weak, weak schedule. Put them against a team like Georgia and the truth comes out. Hawaii was a Koi...Georgia grinned a toothy grin and snapped them up in a bite. Since 200...
