The big difference is that in the coastal areas and the upper Midwest, the true rich daddies can legitimately buy a sports team, like Steve Ballmer who bought the Clippers for $2 Billion bucks--which was roughly how much he earned between February and May of 2014, the year he bought the team! Compared to the likes of the pro sports owners, the Auburn drama is basically some minor country bumpkin intrigue.

Hey, Brent Musberger! Doesn't surprise me he could announce for LV. The only market for which he's not too much of a degenerate gambler.

Forde-Yard Dash: Auburn's Coaching Search is Already Off to a Comical Start https://www.si.com/college/2020/12/15/college-football-auburn-head-coach-search-comical-start?utm_source=reddit.com

Loses the current lawsuit against her from a former employer while in office? Gets the 'rona at a political event? Gets evicted from her in-laws' joint, no longer lives in the district? Is found to be the woman that set fire to the homeless camp this week?

Is this bad? this sounds bad:

Yeah, but true to form the Auburn big cigars are significantly dumber.

Sounds like an upstanding gentleman(fun parts in bold): Robert E. Lowder (born ca. 1944 in Alabama) is a former American banking executive, and founder and former longtime CEO of the failed Colonial Bank and Colonial BancGroup, Colonial Bank's former parent company. Lowder is an Auburn University alumnus, graduating with a B.S. in Finance in 1964. He is also a former long-serving trustee of Auburn.[1] The Lowder Business Building on Auburn's campus is sometimes thought to be named after him, but according to the AU website, the building is named for his parents, Edward L. and Catherine K. Lowder.[2] Banking career[edit] Lowder was Chairman of the Board and CEO of Colonial BancGroup, positions he held for 25 years. In 2006, his total compensation was $2.77 million and his five-year compensation total was $11.23 million, making him one of the 50 most highly compensated banking executives in the United States at that time.[3] He retired from Colonial Bank on May 28, 2009, but remained on the Board of Trustees at Auburn University. Colonial BancGroup was reported to be under Federal investigation for possible criminal activities of its financial dealings in its mortgage subsidiary in August, 2009,[4] and on August 14, 2009, Colonial Bank was shut down by banking regulators, with its deposits and branches purchased by BB&T.[5] Auburn University Board of Trustees[edit] Lowder began serving on the Auburn University Board of Trustees in 1983. In 2001, the Board of Trustees at Auburn summarily dismissed President William Muse, inspiring anger and votes of no confidence in Board members. The widespread belief on campus was that Lowder exerted tight private control over the Board, and thus over the ostensibly public university, using his clout to place some of his close friends in positions of power.[6] Lowder has long been regarded as one of the nation's most powerful college boosters and power-behind-the-scenes trustees at Auburn.[7][8] In 2003, when then-University President William F. Walker and athletic director David Housel secretly spoke with University of Louisville football coach Bobby Petrino about taking over Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville's job, it was Lowder's private jet which they flew to Louisville.[9] In the Spring of 2011, Alabama Governor Robert J. Bentley was the decisive vote on the five member nominating committee, which chose to re-appoint Lowder for another twelve-year term on the Board. Some claims suggest the Governor voted in favor of Lowder due to his wife's donation of $25,000 to the Bentley campaign on September 21, 2010.[10] Following this vote, a former alumni association president, Andy Hornsby, filed a civil lawsuit in Lee County Circuit Court, claiming that the appointment violated the state's Open Meetings Act.[11] Just a few days later, on May 16, 2011, Lowder contacted the Governor's Office asking his name be withdrawn from consideration for reappointment. Lowder's tenure on the Auburn University Board of Trustees ended on April 10, 2012, when the Alabama state senate voted to replace five of the fourteen members. Lowder's successor on the board, M. Clark Sahlie, was elected to a seven-year term.[12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Lowder

Most city charters have removal procedures for Council or board/commission members with excessive unexcused absences.

"Demanding safer conditions for our homeless population"

That seems to be the fate of the 10-1 system. A solidly liberal council with occasional conservative bomb-throwers. Let's see how good her arm is.

Just moved to 6:30 CT, as the IU-Purdue game got cancelled. Too bad, a Friday afternoon Big 10 doubleheader would have been decent TV.

Is SMU going to bitch out of a game at their home stadium?

Plagiarism. Illinois did that exact same post after they beat Neb.

Saban is going to clown him so hard.

It's pretty amazing, but it's gotten to the point that if you last long enough as a major football coach, you will have earned enough for several generations of your family to be rich. I don't imagine DKR's family is rich because of his successful stint at Texas, yet a guy who gets fired after 8 years at the 'Barn now is sitting on a huge fortune. Mind bottling. Imagine 40-50 years from now when Gus's, Mack's, or Harbaugh's adult grandchildren are explaining where their family money came from. Weird way to become old money, if it works out like that.

That UNC run proved you correct.

Texas not part of the carousel, per the AAS just now. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/2020/12/12/texas-ad-tom-herman-remain-longhorns/6521741002/?a=a&utm_source=statesman-News Alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=news_alerts&utm_term=news_alert

I think the Big XII game is even more unnecessary. Just award it to ISU.

Man, Sumlin's running up a hell of tab later. Dude's cooked.

I agree. Vandy should probably go the Wake Forest/Duke route and air it out a good deal. Or at least that seem like what those schools do during their successful years.

I've toured The Star in Frisco. They actually have a set of practice goal posts that are pretty similar to that at their outdoor field. A lot of good it does.

That NFLshop.com ad amuses me. Like anyone would buy "Washington Football Team" gear.

AC story about how she had an Infowars contributor make a video for her. Totally mainstream candidate. https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2020-12-08/council-candidate-tapped-infowars-contributor-to-make-campaign-video/

If they're playing on Tuesday night and MACtion doesn't break out, it's a ripoff.
