Thank you Tom for sending me this article by Steve Kelley in today's Seattle Times.
While his argument is neither original or particularly dynamic, it is dead-on. (A couple interesting points---my favorite that Ty would need to go 19-5 in the next two years just to equal Bill Doba's record that he was fired for this week.)
Simply put: Ty Willingham might have a chance to improve the UW program---but if you can bring someone in who has a better chance to do so, you have to make the move. Ty has had three years and it is time for him to go.
That is some SERIOUS SH*T...
Okay...I did hot yoga last night.
People laugh at the "workout" that yoga is...and okay--it is exaggerated stretching and contorting. I agree---it alone isn't enough to get you in shape.
HOWEVER...doing it in a 115 degree room for 90 minutes is a pretty f***ing good start!
I can honestly say that my body has never been so tired as it was last night...I tried to come up with some comparisons on the difficulty scale--this is all that I came up with:
-Swimming across the Atlantic Ocean without breathing.
-Doing 3,000 crunches while someone is kicking you in the head.
-Attempting to brush your teeth without using your arms.
-Climbing Mt. Everest without oxygen (which, coincidentally, is Jon Brockman's greatest ambition.)
-Getting in and out of Kinko's in under 30 minutes.
Still don't believe me??
I weighed myself before I left. Then, during the prep, the workout, and the drive home, I drank approximately 100 oz of water...then I weighed myself again...
I LOST FIVE POUNDS!!!!!!!!
More on San Francisco...
I was asked by one of the Arnolds yesterday what part of the weekend I am looking forward to most...
Hmm...
Here are some possibilities:
-Mo getting off of the plane early Friday and within four seconds of saying hello, asking when we're going to start drinking.
-Seeing if Josh has the courage to wear the plaid pants again.
-The anticipation at lunch, knowing that McCaw got on his flight with about 20 Southwest Drink Coupons, wondering precisely how plastered he'll be when he meets up with us at 3 PM.
-McCaw's girlfriend flying home about four hours after getting there and telling McCaw to never call her again.
-A certain new-mother who is inevitably going to get drunk and, while her husband is around, start talking about all of the guys we know that she's slept with.
-Our annual trip to the Safeway at the Marina that will inevitably put one of us in prison for stalking.
-Jon BROCKMAN and the UW Basketball Team playing Oklahoma State on ESPN at 2:30 pm on Saturday.
-McCaw's breakfast Jager shots.
-Counting the number of bars that the New Zealand-Montana duo get kicked out of, and the number of times they make disparaging comments about each-other's wives.
-Wells Fargo ATMs on every street corner that make it feel like I'm not spending $500 a day on nothing.
The winner though??
-Enjoying the irony of 72 hours of complete debauchery in celebration of the birth of Jesus.
I'd love to do a mailbag tomorrow... mcflyblogs@gmail.com
