And losing the homecoming game can be devastating for the career of the home team coach. The most recent casualty is one Mike DuBose, head football coach at the University of Alabama, who had the unmitigated gall to lose his most recent homecoming game against the University of Central Florida (which, as one of the newer football teams at the top level of American college football, is a popular homecoming invitee). Unfortunately for Mr. DuBose, the Alabama faithful had returned home to watch this game.
Mr. DuBose had also been accused of other indiscretions recently, namely sexual harassment, but those activities were not perfomed in front of the monied alumni.
I certainly hope Gillian Anderson felt as foolish as she looked in the "cyberpunk" geek gear.
There seemed to be only two things they were trying to accomplish: get the Lone Gunman on screen during the Feb sweeps and have some lame discussion about video game violence and sexism.
Of course, the violence had to turn out to be real (in a weird and never-explained way) in order for it to be an X-File.
Was the oriental gaming guru who got sliced a nod of the word processor to Stephenson's Hiro Protagonist character from "Snow Crash?" If so, you'd think they'd let him swing the blade once before dying.
