Dude.... you meant VHS.


Stupid Sony. They had two teams working on video tape technology. One cam up with Betamax - CLEARLY the better format - and the other VHS. Sony brass felt that Beta was so much better than VHS that they didn't patent VHS. WTF???

Basically all these other companies reversed engineered VHS making it dirt cheap. No joke, the Tokyo porn industry tipped the scales... they went VHS, and the world followed.

I just found this video of an interview Bowden did at a speaking engagement in West Virginia recently. He talks about his dad, brothers, his decision to get back into coaching, commitment, education, etc.

The more I read and see about him, the more I think he would be so great for SMU!

Apparently, PB didn't impress Orsini when he showed up at Ford one day in a Red Thriller Jacket while wearing Red Parachute Pants and a Sequined glove.

I disagree. That's disturbing and I will have nightmares. Thriller nightmares.

The original poster does not mention WHICH Bowden has been faxing SMU . . .

Would think that Bobby is more of the Telegraph type and Terry is more of the Fax type and Tommy is more of the email variety.

We all know that coach Fran does all of his correspondence via email . . .

But do you think Orsini would pay $1200 just to be able to email Fran?
