The thread right below this one nicely summarizes the thread below it.  So this thread is your chance to comment on the summary thread of the coaches poll thread, not the coaches poll thread itself.  

Bascially the summary thread summarizes the coaches poll thread.

This is thread that summarizes the summary thread.

Is it just me or do young people not smile anymore? Every young man I encounter walks around looking so glum. It must be video games and loud rock music. Also, facial hair. Just the other day I had this

"Hey, what’s your name?"

"Call me Ishmael."

"Why the long face, Ishmael?

"Some years ago – never mind how long precisely – having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world."

"Well, Ishmael, it’s like they say. ’Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present’’"

"It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off – then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can."

"Have you ever heard the phrase, ‘When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place?’"

"This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me."

"Huh? I’m not following you, Ishmael. Did Cato play for the Lions in the 90’s?"

"Hey, shit for brains, all my friends got eaten by a whale. Now are you going to pay for this fuckin’ coffee or what? You’re holding up the line."

I paid for the coffee.

But I declined to tip.

Customer service used to mean something.

Kids these days are so entitled.

It must be the texting.

Until we see a comment from someone who spent a summer running their own branch of College Painters, the debate will simply continue.  This is why 25% of all divorces happen as a result of repainting/redecorating arguments.

This is not the snark summary thread.  This is the coaches poll summary thread summary thread.  And I dont see where any of you losers are commenting on the nice summary the OP provided of the coaches thread.

Personally I thought it was a GREAT summary.

One of the top five moments of my life is basking in the aura of MGO's summary thread summary thread.
