I suppose you are entitled to not know from one sip of wine that the rest of the bottle might be good.
In my anology....I had not opened the bottle yet. In my anology your taste would be the equivalent of seeing 1) how your new assistant coaches you hired perform in the spring game and 2) how the overall team and individual players appear to perform in the spring game especially as it relates to your new coaching hires 3) reporters stories and first hand observations on how practices are going 4) evaulation of new recruits in Silverfields first recruiting class.
We played in something called the Cotton Bowl. Near Dallas.
That was the swirl and the sniff, before the sip.
What a beautiful weekend. It was so nice; I spent most of it outdoors. So now I'm back and here is the deal with your posts in this thread.
Quote:I know a lot about wines.
I spent 10 years in the restaurant business; 7 as an owner/operator, and 3 years running them for others. Each year our wine list had at least 60 wines on it, with wines being rotated in and out. So through tasting to build our wine lists; being mentored, guided and helped by dozens of people in the business that knew a lot about wines, and enjoying wine and dining out, I have probably tried 3,000+ wines. I would never say that I know a lot about wines. As a matter of fact, nobody I have been around that knows a lot about wine would ever say something like that.
I never heard Mike Norvell, Justin Fuente, Cal or Penny say that they know a lot about coaching. I did hear Tubby and Pastner say that they did. If I had a dollar for every "I know a lot about wine" guys that raved about $8 bottles of wine that I told them were $50, I would be rich. So my advice to you would be to never say that to anyone again. It will always reflect poorly on you by people that know a lot about wine, and people that don't know a lot. It is incredibly pretentious and you will always come off as a blowhard.

What you are saying is that you are clueless about wine and clueless about coaching, and it's a dumb analogy, especially since he has already coached a game, has a dynamite coaching staff in place, has a lot coming back, and kept all our recruits.
