Lambright was terrible. He was handed a Ferrari and crashed it. He invented football in Oregon. D+ grade.

Also D+ for embarrassingly groveling for the cotton bowl and for the virtual husky schedule poster

That poster gets an A+ from me and I will stop at nothing to find one for the cave.

That photo is from eBay. Go get it

Truman:

1) wife kept her bitch-ass mother-in-law around way too long
2) the Missouri political machine put him in office
3) Dem party picked him as VP for FDR because they knew FDR would croak and didn’t like the liberal VP
4) nuked Japan and ended WWII
5) started the Cold War
6) defended Korea from Korea (and the Chinese commies)
7) shit canned MacArthur who was advocating turning all of China into glass (probably his best move)

Not sure how any of that relates to Petersen

Don’t overthink this, boss.

Guilty

@YellowSnow

Speaking of Truman, have you read Truman by David McCullough? Seminal door-stop read.

That is all.

Great book. Starts to get a little TL;DR for @CFetters_Nacho_Lover attention span though.

McCullough is fine. The English guy who wrote Stalin’s War was tough.

Adding Truman to my list. Just finished Coldest Winter and have a newfound appreciation for Truman as president and my hatred of MacArthur has only increased.

Antony Beevor (spelling?) was the author of Stalingrad and Berlin. Great books but exhaustive.

MacArthur was massively overrated. Nimitz was/is the man
