  1. The $15M buyout is less than half of some programs’ annual roster payroll. It’s a multi billion dollar industry. But remember the people actually creating the product aren’t employees, they are
  2. Any takers?
  3. His 170 wins is 108 more than any prior coach. Multiple top ten finishes and BCS/NY6 Bowl games. The program was a club sport prior to his tenure. He’ll be honored eventually, at least the ring of honor. He’ll also remain my avatar, a high honor indeed.
  4. Sounds cool and all but this is a temporary victory until Rubberstamp Roberts and his court gets the appeal. I’m good with the strategy though but it’s not hoping to win in court but funding yourself hoping things go back to normal in 2028. Yeah still a longshot but more hope than the certainty that SCOTUS will allow this administration to do anything it wants.
  5. Wait, there's an ICE facility off the highway between Schlotzky's and FedEx Office?
  6. And I’ll reiterate that it doesn’t matter as long as unqualified dipshits are coaching and the defense folds like a cheap suit at every pivotal moment. Also that half that list is dumb af. I mean I assume you copied and pasted the list and forgot to delete JJ McCarthy, lol.
  7. I guess I missed something. What did aggy and I guess Clemson “question” about the system?
  8. Zero chance ABC does anything to exacerbate the situation. They’re just praying for this one to pass.
  9. First two episodes were great. The background setting was mostly the square mile around me. I can’t be objective though. Sterling Harjo’s humor is really close to mine and I’m a huge fan. Hawke is excellent in the role.
  10. Cool story but no thanks on the coach. Sounds like Gundy who also said he finally “embraced” it and clearly did not and was still bitching at the end. I don’t trust anyone at this point who has complained about the new system at any time. I want someone who fully bought in to the portal and NIL from the beginning and will use it correctly at a place like OSU. Expect some players will get poached and genuinely wish them well publicly and privately. Have a plan to find a portal replacement. I’m starting to see a dichotomy of old timers (and old souls) who will never adjust and young guys who are all in and embrace the new system. I want one of those young guys. All assuming the OSU administration has the donor money lined up by the seasons end of course.
  11. I’m pretty sure Weiberg had to do it to now to keep the BMDs and therefore his job. Rumor is if he couldn’t pull it out Mike Holder was gonna be called to get it done and keep them happy. His contract expired this summer and was renewed today.
  12. So….. the Harvard article all the dipshits are citing says they have found some correlation and are continuing to research possible causation. Also that the correlation only exists for moms that take Tylenol for four straight weeks (WTF?). Oh and the kicker is that they still recommend using acetaminophen when needed because fever is far more dangerous to the fetus. So they took this and ran with ”We solved autism, don’t take Tylenol ever! It’s bad!” This. Fucking. Timeline. https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/using-acetaminophen-during-pregnancy-may-increase-childrens-autism-and-adhd-risk/
  13. AD Chad Weiberg said at the press conference that they did not discuss him staying on for the year but I don't believe him and think he just want's to avoid that line of thinking since Gundy turned it down.
  14. bro...
  15. My collie station experience was as a member of the OSU marching band (NERDS!!!) and we were told to keep our equipment close because their band/corp was known to try and steal shit. The corp was later caught trying to steal the OSU flag and were confronted by the male cheerleaders who took it back from them. The corp "leader" then pretended to yell at them for trying to steal our shit but was almost certainly for getting caught. Oh, and the aggy parade went right by us pregame and when the kids with shovels following the horses went by we yelled at them "Way to shovel that shit bro!" or something to that effect. They were not happy with us lol.
  16. More time to spend with his bookie.
  17. Yes, the culture and vibe are better, isn't that enough?
  18. I'm a city guy and loved my 4 years in Stillwater as a college student. Lots of football people are from and like small towns. Stillwater is smaller than some other college towns but everything you need is there and Tulsa and OKC are only an hour away. It's not for everyone but there are people who prefer it to larger cities and towns. And yeah, no fake armies. Boone also started at aggy and transfered to OAMC/OSU way back when.
  19. I haven't taken a deep dive and likely won't but I posted earlier in response to who my top three would be and as far as I can tell from the names being floated out there I went with GJ Kinne Jon Sumrall (Tulane HC) Will Stein (Oregon OC)
  20. That's just media coming out with lists, his name has and will come up a lot for these openings. He's not someone I'm particularly interest in hiring but who knows he could have a big year.
  21. The defense was worse than last year and the OL had some defenders pass untouched. Like literally, our guy is directly in front of theirs at the snap, and a half second later the defender is unabated to the RB/QB. It was hard to even tell on slow mo how it happned. It wasn't just losing those game, we didn't even look like a functioning football team.
  22. As I said earlier, they got the funds for the buyout, I assume those same conversations included NIL budgeting. Word is that AD Weiberg is going to get his contract extension so he likely made this happen over the weekend. The hire will be telling. If it's some no name from DII, it means we don't have the NIL package to attract a good coach. If that were the case, I think they would have just let Gundy ruin his legacy for the next several years.
  23. Failure to adjust to the NIL era. To Saban's credit he at least recognized he didn't care for it and peaced out.
  24. Counterpoint:
  25. Y'all are weird. Him calling frustrated fans last year poor and stupid was far more relevant than the fucking t-shirt.
