Reger Rants 11/3/11

- One of the biggest trends in sports that is also one of the biggest wastes of breath is when a coach says "I take full responsibility for this loss". Really? So what is your punishment? Do you have to do up/downs? Do you get assigned to watch film in solitary confinement? Taking responsibility with no consequence is not taking responsibility. Its a nice jesture but it has no teeth.

- Once a name or a nickname is established, people associated with it can't steal it. I'm sick of Kluge trying to take my moniker. When he moved I didn't say "hey, why don't you guys call me smoky?" Let it go. Kluge Rant has no flow and sounds terrible.


- The Kai is now 5-0 and still we can't get a recap from keith. Let me give you a tip. The road is a great place to post. In fact, I am driving right now. It is a great way to kill time and it helps you work on your periferal vision at the same time. Left and right as well as up and down.

- I wish I could just be a professional interviewer. I absolutely love them. The thing that sucks is that after the interview, you actually have to work if you get hired. I went on one last night for a surgical device company and just got my invite to go to Charleston for a final interview. I don't know / think i'm going to take the job (more travel, less certainty and I already have a good job), but I forgot how fun interviews are.

- What is going on with the college conferences these days? I can't keep up and really don't care that much. It seems like every day that somebody is leaving, and then they aren't, and then they sue, and then they drop the lawsuit. What is wrong with the NCAA just assigning conferences, like professional sports? Oh yeah, this is the NCAA (National Communists Against Athletes) we are talking about.

- T minus 1 year and 5 days until Obama's presidency will thankfully end. Like him or hate him, he has not gotten the job done. Our economy is getting worse and there is no end in sight. The Repubicans will control the House at least through his first 2 years (if re-elected) and it will be, as Obama so eloquently put it in 2008 "More of the same". He might have the best ideas in the world, but if they can't pass, it doesn't matter.
