LaTech helmet in the background!
I think he was also on Packer's show on SiriusXM on Wednesday. Did not hear it, but heard the promo for it.
Yes,he was. Skip definitely presents well.Quote:

Here is the link to listen to the segment.
Thanks, and that's just a small segment of the interview. Skip probably talked for 15 minutes. Brando invited him to join him in the studio and to golf at Southern Trace before the NC State game.Quote:

Tim B. is a relative. Spent a good portion of yesterday with him at a family reunion in Texarkana. Not sure if he's just being PC and pragmatic, but most of the conversation around him focused on LSU, Arkansas, and the SEC in general. I saw no need to stir the pot and announce I couldn't care less about LSU, Arkansas, and the SEC in general. In his defense, he did NOT initiate the topic of conversation. He was just politely responding to questions and comments that revolved around the SEC. He was actually more interested in talking about his golf game.
For all you old guys out there. Is Tim related to a guy named Hub Brando who was on local TV back in the 50's?
Brando father, Hub Brando, was a broadcaster at radio station KCIJ in ShreveportQuote:

His younger brother, Curt, graduated from the Tech journalism program.
Curt and I started out in journalism together. He stuck with it. Was very good from what I remember. Really great guy. The last I talked to him, which has probably been at least 10 years or so, he was in Hawaii. Lost touch after that.Quote:

I don't know if you remember when Pat Sajak was attempting to get a daily talk show going ala Oprah, but he was doing that and Wheel of Fortune at the same time. If the talk show had been successful, he was going to leave Wheel and Tim was going to replace him. Obviously, the talk show failed and Pat is still on Wheel. They didn't want the word getting out at the time because everything was still in a flux.Quote:

You flatter me, HD. I could never look that hip. Actually, until several months ago, I was the last person in my immediate family to have to wear glasses. I went from not needing them at all to having to wear them all the time-bifocals. It just so happens, they look like the ones in this pic.Quote:

I have an idea. Why don't we talk about the thread being hijacked then go on to comment about how good we are at beating dead horses then go on to list all the topics we continue to discuss over and over again? Wouldn't that be ironic?
Irony about irony! Meta-irony!Quote:
