Is Pete a History Nerd?
Fellow history nerds of the bored - if there are any - did anyone notice this today in Ted Miller's piece today on the Pac 12 Blog: "Petersen subscribes to the Harvard Business Review -- "Ideas and advice for leaders" -- and he said he's a big fan of Jim Collins' "Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don't." A favorite non-fiction work is Doris Kearns Goodwin's nearly 1,000-page tome "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln."
I've been high on Pete for a while, but this gave me one more thing to doog about- i.e., a coach that can enjoy a dense 1000 page piece of non-fiction, albeit an endlessly fascinating one, like Doris Kearns Goodwin's study of Lincoln. For the sake of comparison, does anyone here know what sort of taste in books Sark had?
I also love seeing Pete absorb the historical lessons of Lincoln. Remember Honest Abe wasn't about instant gratification; he had a couple of tough seasons in '62 and early '63 and many wanted him fired. But once he had his own guys in there - i.e., winners like Grant and Sherman - he was plungering the SEC (I mean CSA) big time.

And finally, I'm sure he Google searched this term: "how to bang sluts for dummies". As a warning, don't search that on Google images at work. Just don't. -

I'm as happy as anyone Pete is killing it this year, but I hope this board doesn't turn into a drool fest. "Pete like history!" Yes!

Goddamn it! I thought there might've been another book by the warrior poet but that last Google search on how to bang sluts really distracted me.GrundleStiltzkin said:

@RoadDawg55 seems like this place will always keep its "cult of negativity" feel. At least I hope so.RoadDawg55 said:I'm as happy as anyone Pete is killing it this year, but I hope this board doesn't turn into a drool fest. "Pete like history!" Yes!
