    I was just listening to the Afterbuzz podcast episode for this episode. They mentioned the part about Lily being cut. They were like, “Who? Who’s Lily?” If you didn’t know her cut was coming and hadn’t been paying super close attention throughout the season, you would have no idea who Lily was. It’s obnoxious how much time was spent on so few people.

    I listened to more of the podcast. When they got to the part where they mentioned Yuko’s car accident and concussion, they were like, “Who’s Yuko?” ? They’re not exactly the most knowledgeable folks regarding DCC. At least, they seem well intentioned.

    Following.. 

    I sure would like to know what the conflict(s) was. I didn't see the need to resign the next business day after the meeting in Kelli's office- ie June. Hopefully the woman waited at least until July - a few more weeks of training camp.

    • She is the office - the expectation to be at every SMU game seems a bit much. Especially at a away game. I would have gotten that straight with or with a DCC conflict .
    • College football started - like now 9/1. So just when was the conflict? She wouldn't have any DCC responsibilities until preseason - early August - when the team is announced. Any appearance before then are done by the veterans.
    • It's a little early to be worried about future non-game DCC appearances that conflicts with SMU after Sept. Make the DCC squad first.
    • "Recruiting Operations" - just whom are you assisting/helping/arranging recruiting in the summer? Other than welcoming the new freshman when SMU starts camp- and I would think that would be the mostly job of the football staff.  Now yes, when HS starts, you could be busy.. How much is her job outside of 9-5 M-F?
    • Does training camp meet alot (like the alumni session she missed) during 9-5 M-F ?
    • I am probably reading too much in when she said her mgr gave her an "ultimatum" regarding the schedule. I guess I don't like that tone, that implies towards an employee, who appears to be coming to you in a humble spirit. Esp. for day/time away in the future. I guess I expected the answer to be something - make sure your duties are covered, go w/o pay, work extra, etc.
    • Here are game the schedules - side by side.

    If she is involved with recruiting SMU football players, her activities would pertain to potential recruits, not the people already playing at SMU. The NCAA has very tight restrictions on when football recruits can be contacted. I would assume it requires a lot of planning and organization. According to the NCAA Recruiting Calendar, there are strict dead, quiet, and contact periods to organize. The first dead period when there is no contact (I think) is August 1-31. June may be prime time for organization and booking travel and lodging for coaches and scouts to evaluate or meet the players. I would imagine the recruiting schedule would be quite different than a regular football schedule.

    Kind of how I am with Rachel and Molly :) 

    I call Rachel and Molly "the clones." (I've been watching too much Orphan Black lately.) I think Rachel and Molly know they look alike. In group photos, they are often together. I think I saw a comment on a photo once where one of them joked about being the other's twin.

    I just found an article from last year called "19 Things The Dallas Cowboys Prefer You Forgot About Their Cheerleaders." https://www.thesportster.com/football/19-things-the-dallas-cowboys-prefer-you-forgot-about-their-cheerleaders/ #9 is that the cheerleaders lack "job security." They have to re-audition every year, stay in shape and on their game along with the incoming rookies, and there is a picture of Tara. This part of the article is really bizarre.

    S10.E05: Becoming World Class

    in S10

    When some people become anxious, their brains shut down. It's a survival mechanism built into all of us which should only kick in during dire circumstances, but if a person is more sensitive, the brain goes blank. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it's fairly common in creative-minded people.

     

    I think that is what happened with Megan B. That's why she seemed kind of spacey and hard to follow. Most of us didn't notice her until this episode. She probably hadn't had any negative attention on her until something was said about her dreamy face which is one of the most mild criticisms I've ever heard of a TCC, if it is a criticism at all. Megan B. seemed to take it as a criticism. When she went into the meeting with Kelli and Judy, she her anxiety level was probably through the roof, and her brain shut down. 

     

    I agree with the person who posted earlier regarding Kelli's, "We're looking for leaders" comment. They can't have 36(?) leaders. That is a dysfunctional organization. They need 36 confident people. Anxiety issues are extremely difficult for performers to overcome. It's not just overcoming publicly performing in front of millions. It's learning how to properly interpret what is and isn't criticism and how to deal with that. There is that mental toughness stuff that Jason Garrett was talking about. It's hard to do if your amygdala isn't behaving how it should.
