Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

Les Miles on the BP Oil Spill


Okay, he's only a football coach, but dadgum Les, can you sound at least a LITTLE intelligent?  (from a friend of mine on another site)

 

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/23/les-miles-oil-spill-inter_n_656989.html

 

 "Well, it uh, the impact is more of a ... you know ... anything, anything along the ... the uh ... the ... shore and those issues are very serious issues and there ... the impact is on the ... the uh (long pause) you know, what is, the natural resource of our country, uh, but ah ... I don't know that it's, I don't know exactly, uh, to what extent it's being handled well and managed or mismanaged I have no idea.

"The only thing I know is it's very sincere and it's, it's uh, it affects more than Louisiana and it affects (muffled pause) ... the ocean."

Man I'm glad we have a coach who can articulate!  (not to mention a coach who knows how to do clock management!)

Ok,

I was cool the second time this got posted, but three times is a bit much. Check the fanshots, please.

That's a pretty poor transcription

There were a lot more "uh"s, "ah"s, and stuters than that. “The Ocean” at the end also sounds like it should be a separate paragraph.

Here's my attempt

RADIO HOST: Since you got to Louisiana, first you had Katrina to deal with, now you got the Oil Spill working its way to ya I’m just wondering. How that’s going about, what, what that’s impacting y’all, and what kind of situation y’all are facing.

LES: Well, it’s ah, the, the impact is more of a ah, ah, you know, anything, anything along the, the ah, the, the, th-th-the shore and those issues are, th-they’re very, they’re very serious issues and they’re, uh, the impact is on the, the ah, ….., you know, what is the, natural resource of our country. Uh, but uh, ya know, I-I don’t know that it’s, I don’t know exactly, uh, to what extents, ya know, it’s, it’s being, uh, handled well and, and managed and/or mismanaged. I-I-I have no idea. The only thing I know it’s very sincere, and it’s, it’s, uh, it, it affects more than Louisiana, it affects us.

The ocean.

Sorry guys

When I opened up the link, it appeared to me that the story had been posted THAT DAY, but the date at the top was just the day’s date typically at the top of this website. The article was actually posted on July 23.

I didn’t see the earlier posts. I don’t look at fanshots too much. This seemed like a fan post candidate to me. The different places that you can place different flavors of posting is a bit confusing to me. Not criticizing, just saying that from a newcomers point of view, this is different than what I’ve experienced.

I don't care so much

but I thought it was funny that we had 2 comments telling you that your post was redundant, so I figured I’d add my entry to the department of redundancy department.

I wasn't trying to ruffle feathers either

but didn’t want a new member to get discouraged.

Fanshots are great to post

links, photos, quotes, pictures, etc. And you can even add your own commentary under said link. Fanposts have a word minimum so you don’t have to post a transcript to whatever you add. I like to think that the fanposts are great for facilitating discussions like “what’s you favorite Alabama team/Who Hates Tennessee” and topics like that, whereas the fanshots are more for the smaller, quicker things. Also, it’s rather easy to search other posts beforehand to make sure you’re not stealing someone else’s thunder (search bar in upper right-hand corner). Dont worry about it though, took me a while to get the hang of things here.
