We've had some great former posters mentioned on here and it sounds like they're all doing well, which is nice to hear. I miss 'em all. Personally, I remember outlawjoseywales. I learned so much from him in my early days on the board about defense and football in general. It was nice to see OJW post on here again the other day. I know he retired a few years ago and I hope it's working well for him. Also, I cringe when I look back at those early posts of mine. I hope I'm less annoying now.

I'm still here!! I just lurk more and follow others more than I used to. When I feel that I can make a positive contribution or lend some insight, I do. Otherwise, I just follow and read what others are posting, in part so as to not get sucked in and too distracted from other things that i need to do. That said, up until three years ago I coached high school football in Wisconsin. I teach now at the University of Oklahoma. I still love coaching and will coach if the situation is right.

Back to the important questions: Chekhov or Dostoyevsky?

I've taught classes on Chekhov and Tolstoy. I've taught Dostoevsky many times in surveys of 19th century Russian lit. My work is on Tolstoy and the ethics and practice of History, so, I'm more of Tolstoy person by nature. That said, I've come to love Chekhov. The plays are great, but I especially like his mature prose. Dostoevsky is fabulous. My favorite Dostoevsky text is THE DEVILS. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT is great, but its basically a super-charged detective novel. THE DEVILS is a narrative mess which makes it a blast to read and teach. It's also very germane to our world today.

I looked him up after someone mentioned him and he’s still touting the A11, but within the rules he’s come up with what I think he called the Super Spread or something like that.

It's interesting. Essentially uses G C G in the core and then T is split out wide. T wears ineligible number, and can catch a pass so long as it's thrown backwards and behind LOS, a lateral. Other receivers are shifting on and off the ball. I don't know if this is especially because of him or not, but the eligible receivers must raise their hands two full seconds before the snap or they are not eligible to catch a forward pass. Only problem ... It's not like high school officiating is good enough to where they catch all the guys who are allowed to go out for a pass and all the guys who aren't allowed. It's hard for them to see all of that so they get away with stuff. It was fun to coach against.

Let's get serious, the real questions for hemlock are not about Chekhov or Dostoevsky.... it's Leach or June Jones, or Mumme or John Jenkins???!??!?!?! P.S. While we're on the topic, everyone should read Chekhov's short stories. Really underrated.

Spreadattack, true indeed. My life is defined by irony and paradox. When I'm teaching I want to coach football; when I'm writing on Tolstoy, narrative, or lit theory and criticism, I want to be coaching football and studying football. When I'm coaching football I want to to read Tolstoy and write on literature. Go figure....

Go figure.... positively Chekhovian (More seriously, one nice thing about modern life/technology is there are now a number of ways to honor and give back to the game, while also continuing to pursue other interests/careers.)

For the engineer comment above.
Signs I’ve seen on aerospace engineers cubicles - Hardware is just a place for me to put my software. If it’s not on fire it’s a software problem. First rule of manufacturing - make it work.

fbdoc hasn't posed since 2015. He was a coach I really appreciated. Experience, insight, and a different perspective that always made me think. I always said his players must be very fortunate to play for him.

Chris Clement: I like Kafka...Kafka reads nicely alongside Dostoevsky's NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND. My interests in 20th century Russian literature range from the poetry of Osip Mandelstam and Boris Pasternak to Soviet postmodern prose from the 1960s on....Outside of Russian literature, I like Kafka, but I really love Joseph Conrad, in particular NOSTROMO and LORD JIM, although the SECRET AGENT is fascinating too. I also love 19th century western European Realism - Stendhal's RED AND BLACK, Flaubert's A SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION and MADAM BOVARY, and Manzoni's Italian epic, THE BETROTHED.

Why so much turn-of-the-century Russian lit? Who hurt you?
