Football Media Day Plati-'Tudes

ak, as some of you may know, was wrongly fired by the Oakland Raiders because Sports Illustrated had some unflattering things to say about their late owner, Al Davis. Davis’ son, Mark, is now running the team and basically had a hissy fit that someone would write negative things about a team that has a 49-111 record since its last playoff season (10 years, zero seasons over .500)

Awkward moment....
 
That Plati-Tudes was one step above unreadable and meandered about on stuff so off topic to the typical Buff fan, I'm sure most lost interest before seeing the below. This made me laugh:
It was reported by some last November that we (CU) was on the cheap and wouldn’t buy bottled water for the football offices. For the record, no campus department can generally buy bottled water with state dollars per university policy (it’s a waste of money and not efficient). However, we can all have 5-gallon water coolers; football had those removed because they simply preferred individual bottles instead of refilling personal containers. Also, they wanted bottled water for recruiting purposes (so kids could carry those around), which we could reimburse for; Jon coordinated purchases of those on his own (or through his assistant), and when he did so, was reimbursed for those costs. As for Jon buying his own desk, he didn’t like the one his predecessor, Dan Hawkins, had been using or any that the university supplier could offer, so he decided to buy his own. The university/state will thus not reimburse if you don’t select from the vendors on the bid lists. So that’s the story behind the story. (Desks are very personal; I’ve had the same one my entire career.)

Having the same desk is all fine and dandy. What we all really want to know, and are afraid to ask, is if he's had the same chair all those years.
 
I've had ten different desks in my career. Ten. Thats just at my office. My home office has had six desks in the same time span. Some are left handed, some right handed. Some with one of those pull out slider trays for my keyboard, some without. All various shapes, sizes, configurations, colors and designs. No, desks are not that personal.

Do you make over 500k per year? At that point you can demand a personalized desk.

When it comes to personal, it's not the desk, but who is under it.

I said this in the other thread but Dave needs to learn to let **** go, taking shots at the raiders reaction, or rehashing the WB thing is totally pointless and petty. This is wy he sucks at the internet, sometimes you just have to leave it be....
