    Auburn in 2011 comes to mind.

    Not sure it would really grab their attention. There's quite a bit of philosophical and religious stuff which they might find boring or hard to understand.

    imo the second book is pretty weak. Herbert admitted as much before he died. I'd probably go 1st book then 3rd book, then 4th book then the last two with Dune Messiah closer to the bottom. I've also read most of his son's Dune books that he co-wrote with Kevin Anderson and they aren't bad at all. More so the ones which try to continue the story where it left off then the ones which give back story though the one talking about the machine revolution was good imo. They aren't that long either. You can easily read one a week. I recommend to anyone to finish the original 6 by Herbert sr and to finish the story as written by Herbert jr which is largely patterned after outlines done by his dad.

    It might be Lombardi with only 96.

    Catching lightning in a bottle at a smaller school isn't that hard I would say. I can sit here and rattle off probably a dozen guys who did great things at some tiny fcs school over 2-3 years and parleyed that into a job at a much bigger program then proceeded to either fail miserably with better recruits and a much bigger fb budget or just be mediocre before eventually getting canned.

    Guessing some of those wins got vacated?

    I'd say if anything tosu shot themselves in the foot a few times or else Clemson would have gotten blown out. Clemson didn't play bad but they showed up when they needed to and pulled out the win.
  8. Surlybastard
    I didn't say they had won all of them. Only that all of them have been played in NO.
  9. Surlybastard
    Pretty sure lsu is 5/5 in playing all of their national title games in NO.
  10. Surlybastard
    In the mind of espn they did win.

    Texas has already been mediocre for long. He left tosu ready to cruise into the playoff as the #1 team in the committee's rankings. Rhule and ou can both go eat dicks together.
  12. Surlybastard
    I think he is just waiting for a serious offer from sc or ut and that's it. Until then he can just cash checks to sit in the studio. I think he'd also go to nd if they offered but they are probably too holier than thou to go down that road.

    Bitch ass player kissing motherfucker.

    That sounds like something Pelini might do.
  15. Surlybastard
    I think it was a combination of his on field meltdowns and 9 wins a year not being good enough for Nebraska. I am pretty sure he won 9 or more games every year he was there though.
  16. Surlybastard
    Ya but the thing is that Pelini had them winning 9 games every year and that wasn't that long ago. That's more than adequate. They haven't been truly bad for that long.
  17. Surlybastard
    Character issues aren't his biggest problem. Its more the entire thing of being a hc which isn't just x's and o's. Which is a lot.

    While all of what you said about the days he was at UF are probably true I don't recall that much about arrests and whatnot while at tosu other than the Zack Smith shit and even then the police investigated him multiple times and said they found nothing to prosecute. So I think at this point what Meyer brings is the know how to get shit done and probably not any more scummy behavior then you're going to find at every other major cfb program in the country. I can still see why people wouldn't want him as the symbol of the fb program but I mean things aren't exactly working out so well with the other options the university has been pursuing in recent years. It might be 20 years before another coach with that kind of proven track record is out there to be had.
  19. Surlybastard
    He can make tens of millions of dollars coaching anywhere he wants to. Nothing I wrote requires having incredible insight into anyone's mind either. Its a simple matter of comparing Norman, Oklahoma and the surrounding areas to most any other place a guy worth millions and his wife might want to spend 7-10 years of their lives in. So for the record, fuck off with your pompous bullshit.
  20. Surlybastard
    Two things wrong with this scenario: 1. Jerry will never fire Garrett. 2. I can't see Meyer wanting to live anywhere near Norman most of the year. He can have pretty much any job he wants if he waits for it. I don't believe the OU job would be that high up on his list of possible coaching gigs.
  21. Surlybastard
    They should keep asking him that until he says yes or just walks out.
  22. Surlybastard
    Not sure if he's actually a fraud or needed another 2 years at Houston followed by 2-3 years at a P5 school before he was ready for a big time program job. Herman didn't really work his way up and begin to understand what his weaknesses are. He just assumed like everyone else that he was ready to roll into any major job and start rolling off 10 win seasons like it was nothing. He is still under the impression that he is a top 5 coach in cfb despite nothing to actually prove that he is.

    I agree its mainly about appearances and nothing more. They are meant to appear menacing and not someone you'd want to mess with. Obviously you'd think the armor could protect them a little better than it does in the shows/movies but maybe the Empire just doesn't care much about the lives of its foot soldiers(which it most likely doesn't).

    ND isn't better morally regardless of its religious affiliation. Holtz and others were no paragons of virute nor is their school admin. They're just pious assholes who pretend they have moral high ground due to being a private catholic university and have some degree of academic standards.

    I was led to believe that being in mensa is the pinnacle of human achievement.
