This was my email after reading the comments on the TCU board and still being pissed off about the blowout loss to USC. Take that into consideration while reading it. Here goes...

Two of those deeps balls were initially tipped by a Bulls corner and then corraled in by the receiver. One deep ball was a jump ball where the QB underthrew the receiver in triple coverage and he caught the ball like a punt (it was a great adjustment on his part). USC averaged 2.8 yds a carry with the longest a 15 yard scamper on 47 carries. You might want to reevaluate things.

> You were on fire about your QB being better. Hell, the average flag football team has a better QB than USF. Our QB situation is in disarray. The supposed started, Pat Julimeste, can't hit the back side of the barn. Ronnie Banks, the backup, can't find a second option if the secondary laid down for him.

HIS RESPONSE

Well, that is your opinion and your outlook. You have to remember that

when I write these reports I do it using stats and facts. USF is not

as good of a team this year according to the stats. USF beat a 1AA

team 21-7, that is not very good in my honest opinion. TCU would have

beaten that same team 42-0 or worse, just like they beat SMU. You may

think TCU stinks after losing big last week but you would be sadly

mistaken. Thanks for your opinion but you also must remember that this

game is not in Tampa this year, so it wont be close.

Terry, don't use your work email for that kind of stuff.  Sooner or later you'll piss somebody off and they'll complain to your company.  Because it is work email, the company has the right to access your email at any time.  I'm sure if you look in all that paperwork you signed when you started, you'll find something about using your email for work purposes, and never for anything that could be construed as rude.

I have a buddy that had a serious problem from a similar situation.  He was using a work email address for fantasy football, and was getting raunchy in the emails that were flying around talking trash.  One of the guys in the league complained to the online customer service, and my buddy ended up getting fired...

So did you ever get a follow-up from him explaining why USF beat TCU?

Mikey's right Terry! DO NOT EVER USE YOUR COMPANY E MAIL FOR ANYTHING BUT COMPANY BIZ!!! It could come back to bite you! Corporations are very stringent about that, especially a mega player lite GE. Image is everything! Be cool dude, and get those new accounts!!!  Hopefully see you at homecoming.    Reap
