What's an ex-ex-BIL?

Married and divorced his two sisters?

Or married the same sister twice?

In any case, probably made for some interesting family gatherings.

Two sisters, one went to Rice, one went to Tcu. I married the Rice girl, Tom married the Tcu girl. Each of us is long ago divorced from said former spouses, but at the time became United against a common enemy -- the mother in law -- we've remained fast friends ever since.

Well there is a scenario I had t considered. Thanks for sharing!

Not for mine.
I particularly enjoy watching SEC teams blow out XII teams. Hope Arkansas completes the trifecta.

How's that fancy TCU defense that you like so much?

Where did I say that I like "that fancy TCU defense" so much. They run a 4-2-5 and I don't like the 4-2-5. I thought I'd made it pretty clear that I prefer an odd front, either 3-4 or 3-3-5. What I've said is that if you're going to play the 4-2-5, I like their version a lot better than ours. But I have been no fan of the 4-2-5 going back to watching Ken's flexbone teams simply destroy New Mexico's 4-2-5. And that was a defense with Brian Urlacher in it.

Well, maybe the Lobos would have done better had Urlacher played more. In 1996 and 1997, the two seasons that the Owls met UNM, Urlacher rarely played, as Dennis Franchione seemed to have more confidence in upperclassmen. It was only when Rocky Long was head coach during Urlacher's junior and senior seasons that he really blossomed.
