Charlie Strong is sure getting a lot of mileage out of one 10 win season in a crappy conference.

Charlie Strong’s track record is as a recruiter and it’s pretty damn good. Look at all the Florida kids on Louisville’s roster. That’s why Strong is such a commodity. He was Urban’s recruiting maven at UF and he has “Florida ties” that other programs would/have tried to kill for

Full disclosure – I’m the grammar cop in my house.

My wife and kids dislike me sometimes. The I/me thing gets raised constantly.

wow there’s a lot going on in 2. you should give it another trial. 1 was more flash. 2 is revenge, destiny, self perception, etc. Carradine’s speech at end about Beatrix’s true identity is great.

I’ve never corrected anyone with somewhat proper language… it doesn’t seem like asking a lot to expect people to know the difference between a subject and an object.

presently I prefer Kill Bill Vol. 2

The two Tarantino movies I just cannot get into are the Kill Bills. Too much style over substance, in my view.

Some people just flat out sucked in English class no matter how hard they tried. Like me.

My mother has an teaching cert in English language I think, so it was stressed to me pretty young. I don’t think most teachers know the proper grammar now so it’s just not taught/stressed enough.

Even if you suck at English class, if you get a teacher who is strict enough, you learn the basics. I’m terrible at advanced tenses, just because I never learned them and hated the classes. If you held me at gunpoint and asked me what a subjective verb tense was, I’d just pull the trigger for you.

Also, why does Jones have one sleeve up and one down in the photo? Could it be the one sleeve is down to hide some … tattoos?!

/ Didn’t know Butch Jones was black
// Tattoos disqualify him from serving as college football CEO, right?

Pulp Fiction means more to me, but presently I prefer Kill Bill Vol. 2.

And I don’t buy the ‘it’s just a blog comment/twitter’ excuse; if you know the language/grammar at all, then the difference between a subject and object should be pretty natural. It’s not ‘extra work’ to have the correct grammar and your computer doesn’t autofill the ‘I’ every time. It’s just that some people assumed that ‘I’ is always wrong because they were corrected from saying ‘me and Eric went to the store’ once and never bothered to figure out why it was wrong in that situation.
