  1. He won’t be WR1 at OU which makes the money play more galling. This won’t be about playing time. Or he will be seriously disappointed if he think it is.
  2. The annual swimsuit calendar has been discontinued due to inability to keep them in stock. Instead, a new Gerry Hamilton bobble head doll with a 5.0 in one hand, CFA nuggets in the other and a Mayo drenched corn dog in his mouth all be sent out. There is also a bobble of Burton yelling “Boom!” While he accidentally kicks his router, and one of CJ Vogel wearing his Mateerix Reloaded shirt throwing his hat. Manufacturers declined to produce a Jeff Howe doll for safety reasons. That much sexy on the dash would be distracting to drivers. Also the Rod Babers doll shook its head so fast that testers reported that they thought they had consumed Rogue Shop beforehand, and Coach Shipley’s too closely resembled Jimmy Buffet on a golf cart.
  3. Tre is getting bad advice, and will probably find out in the portal ( he’ll most certainly find out in the NFL) that he’s a role player and not a starter. If someone wants to pay him starter money then the joke’s on them. Winnerness can only overcome so much. I wish him the best. He’s been a gritty warrior for Texas, but I think this is a mistake. He could have been beloved contributor during a hopeful MNC run. I fear he’ll be just a guy somewhere else. May he prove us all wrong. Good decisions rarely follow bad ones.
  4. I believe in real life that actor Daniel Stern only allowed them 1 take with an actual spider on his face. Incidentally, that is one more take than I would have allowed. His being electrocuted in Home Alone 2 still gets me deep in my gut. Right up there with the flying horses in the exploding fake Rock Ridge from Blazing Saddles, Jeff Daniels intestinal distress scene in Dumb and Dumber, and Mike Meyers getting a cart stuck in a tunnel in Austin Powers.
  5. Makes him look younger. Also, the inevitable progression from a thinning pate to a solid bit of chin whiskers.
  6. I can watch the snow shovel to the face all day.
  7. Kinda surprised a man who runs runs an offense that conservative, boring and uncreative managed to run his game in an office setting. Sherrone Moore sucks. He sucked when he subbed for Harbaugh, sucked at running his program, was destined to fail and the university was likey looking for an out. Only his continual improbable wins against OSU kept him around. I’ll be curious what Michigan Man Big Blue can drum up to run their program. Wouldn’t surprise me if they kicked the tires on Harbaugh again.
  8. He’s got about a month to do some real tampering…errr….yeoman’s work in the portal.
  9. They probably take a few above the 85 limit that they want to hang onto or want to bring in, or have to, as you well noted, increase the number of women’s sports on campus. I mean. How many soccer teams can you field? Full contact Quidditch?
  10. Sherrone Moore endeavors to bore his opponents into defeat.
  11. So who are your top 20 extra must haves?
  12. Urban Meyer is tanned, fat and rested. Also, Kelly seems to have some free time on his hands.
  13. It’s apparently harder for Flood to find than the C spot.
  14. Yes, but our shopping list is lengthy.
  15. Need to pay attention to the USF AD. He’s been on a heater with football coaching hires.
  16. A good rule in life is to never follow the GOAT. Besides not starting land wars in SE Asia, another good rule in life is to not follow the lame duck who followed the GOAT. I use lame duck advisedly as DeBoer is a very good coach, but he will be run out of Tuscaloosa for not winning 7 national titles sooner than later imoho. Also, PSU is desperate for actual offensive football after watching their teams struggle with the forward pass for a decade. They might throw the kitchen sink at KD, and he might be wise to accept it. His leash will be longer.
  17. Alabama did it too. We’ve reached the tipping point in the chase for money where major schools have priced out the average fan for games worth watching, and the best return on investment is suites for big donors and corporate interests over raw attendance.
  18. No, it’s good. Not great. The OL, RB, TE, S aren’t good. Fix the first three and the WR room will look a lot more effective.
  19. The ability to win a national title.
  20. Gonna be hard to afford a dude for a good position room when we have so much need at other spots.
  21. The Governor of the state of Louisiana is always involved in some way. Or they’re incarcerated. Sometimes both.
  22. Most of us knew that when we saw how bad our OL was in the non conference slate.
  23. Somebody preemptively fired their HC, is going to find that there’s not enough big names to go around, will stumble into hiring Petrino on the cheap and be very happy they did it. Also, he’s very welcome to advise our offensive staff if he were to be so inclined.
  24. Jimmy isn’t living forever, and the current model, like much about CFB, is broken. Coaches no longer require 5 years to get their guys into the program and develop them from HS players. That’s still a part of it, but now the nation is your oyster if you need to supplement, or in some cases completely flip, your roster and have access to blue blood funds. Someone is going to be smart enough to offer a premiere coach $12-14M a year with no buyout and only the guarantee to payout the remaining contract if fired along with guarantees for athlete payroll. The coach will still make generational money, and the AD won’t be hamstrung with huge payouts to former employees if it wants to move on. You can kill the golden goose, and someone’s going to figure out that there’s more money to throw at the program and players if the athletic department and donors aren’t tapped out paying absurd buyouts. $50M guaranteed over 4 years is still a very fine chunk of change, and athletic directors won’t be tempted to tack on silly 10 years contract extensions. The NFL has largely figured this out, and it’s developmental league will wrap their collective heads around it in short order too imoho.
  25. I think big buyouts are going away, and there will be quite a few someone’s willing to deal with the wild expectations and fertile recruiting grounds at LSU for just $7-8M per year.
