Lifted from a post on 247...
" You are not inheriting a train wreck or a dire situation, but you are inheriting a train that is running without the benefit of tracks and one demanding some urgency, i.e., a rudderless vessel desperately needing a strong hand to steer and guide her. She?s a grand old girl, but she's off on a dirt road and badly needs some immediate fine-tuning, an oil change and possibly a new direction in some of the personnel charged with keeping her going."
That's rambling and incoherent and chucks made the world a dumber place for spewing that.
He could have just said, "We're a complete and total cluster17."
And he would've been right!Quote:

The funny thing is I have no idea if he's talking about their football program, the baseball program, the mascot, or the University.

Steinbeck. There’s your man....
Oh, and Chuck, I don’t know how much you know about trains, but a train without tracks is in dire 17in straights, bro.

If Gilligan were to respond with "some immediate fine tuning and and oil change" the new direction in some of the personnel keeping her going would be a pretty good idea.
