  1. I know, Comer was a great one. Awful injury. Back then 6’3” 230 was prototype NFL tight end. Hell, he was bigger than most of our OL those days!
  2. I don’t think it’s sexism to assess profitability. Lots of things go into that. Lots of men’s sports at the collegiate level don’t make a profit.
  3. Gotcha, because you directly responded to that play against arky. But you were actually discussing a play that occurred dearly a year before.
  4. Crashed into who, Street? That didn’t happen either. Peschal? Who could that have happened?
  5. You do know Street threw into bracket coverage on that play.
  6. Tough to get recognized if you’re not an employee, and today’s NIL gives them every incentive not to be.
  7. Courts will be striking a bunch of this down.
  8. I’d say in this case it worked well. She was the featured player of this tournament.
  9. Pete Lammons could play too. A great TE who held the career receptions record at Texas for 15+ years, he even intercepted Joe Namath twice in the Orange Bowl doing double duty as a LB.
  10. So Luck wouldn’t do what you or any reasonable observer wouldn’t have found objectionable. You think that’s a good thing? We can only guess if Luck could find a capable coach. Perhaps he wouldn’t have had the temerity to poach a good one from a quality program because he avoids conflict and other unpleasantness.
  11. When you have a 30 year incumbent AD who refuses to do his job, what do you do? Unload him and get a replacement to finish the job. You end up with a Patterson because “better” candidates like Luck don’t have the sack to do what’s necessary. If Luck really thought he would be insulated by having the President or some regent fire Mack first it only doubles his spinelessness and naïveté. Do you believe Luck would have been tarnished in any way by firing Mack? Wouldn’t you want a guy who can come to grips with the more unpleasant aspects of a 7 figure job?
  12. He would have been better but not what we needed, wouldn’t have been an upgrade over Dodds (who I considered second tier) and a sorry excuse for an AD of Texas’ standing. Anyone who’d turn down an opportunity like Texas because he refused to clean up his predecessor’s mess doesn’t deserve it. Remind me again about that Arizona team he did wonders with.
  13. What are the Arizona Coyotes? Did I say “he was the same” as Paterson? If so please copy and paste.
  14. A guy who won’t take a job because he has to do the obvious is not a guy built for the long haul. He might have been an upgrade over Patterson but he couldn’t pack CDC’s lunch. Remind me again of Luck’s incredible career accomplishments since 2013.
  15. Luck can only blame himself. What did he think an AD does? As bad as Patterson was, I doubt Luck would have been much of an upgrade. With CDC, we’re in far better shape than Luck could have gotten halfway to.
  16. How did Mack kill the Saban hire? Or Jamail for that matter?
  17. Do I see him yucking it up with BMDs and alums? Absolutely Do I see him involved in practice, recruiting or evaluating? Not a chance
  18. Syntax issues aside, everyone understood the context.
  19. The only official offer comes after all the details are sketched out, negotiated and agreed upon.
  20. Correct. Think Saban turned down a job only because the predecessor was being difficult about leaving?
  21. Which rules don’t they play by?
  22. If it’s coming down to us and ND for the last spot in a 12 or 16 team seeding we’ve got bigger issues than ND.
  23. Odd timing given they were just in the national title game.
