Sugar Bowl - Ole Miss vs Fuck Baylor
Mulkey got told "You'd better take that LSU job, cause we're not putting up with your shit, anymore." It all came down to the new basketball arena. Mulkey wanted it on campus, in between the Ferrell Center and the baseball and softball stadiums. Baylor was in negotiations with City of Waco and some private developers to put it on the bank of the Brazos, on the downtown side of I-35. The arena project will cost $185 million. Waco's chipping in $65 million, and it's going to anchor a $700 million downtown river development. They told Mulkey several times to STFU, they were going to put a statue of her up in front of the new arena, and make everything look smooth on the outside. She wouldn't shut up. Completing the negotiations required meet and greets with a lot of people with serious money, and Baylor was tired of Mulkey showing her ass at every possible moment, and they weren't going to let her go into negotiation meetings screaming about having the arena in an area that was too small and was going to remove about 50% of the parking from the three other facilities there. She'd been a pain in the ass for years, and you can usually get away with being an ass when you're winning, BUT when the money boys tell you to sit down and STFU, you either do it or go someplace else. Both sides have been quiet about it, but it wasn't Mulkey's choice. The only coach who's voluntarily left Baylor since I started covering them in around 2006* is Matt Rhule, and he was writing his number on NFL bathroom stalls before he got the Baylor job. *Disclaimer: I don't cover anything except football, basketball and women's basketball, and I cover as little women's basketball as I have to.

Happy New Year to everyone!- Music City Bowl: Fake UT vs. Purdue on ESPN Now
Agree. Yeah, there have been some dumbass plays, but it's fun to watch a game where guys are busting their asses and actually give a shit.- Liberty Bowl: Miss St vs Texas Tech ESPN 5:45
User name checks out, but I could say that about 75% of your posts.- Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Just once for me. Had to hold it open so a doctor could insert a tube. Cottage cheese. It was awful. No, and I'll pass on that one.- Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Some of them never take their shoes off. The foot calluses sometimes literally grow into the socks. They hit an ER and take their shoes off for the first time in a month or two and you can smell it all the way down the hall.- Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
If you ever work in an emergency room, there are things you should know. Nobody ever accidentally sticks something up their ass, but you need to work on saying, "Damn, that's crazy!" If the object they "accidentally" got stuck in their ass is a cell phone, you don't have to ask. It was on vibrate. The only thing in the world that smells worse than an obese woman's vagina is a wino's feet. NOTHING in the world smells worse than a wino's feet, and that's coming from a guy who spent five years on a dive/recovery team. One shift in an ER and your back and feet will hurt worse than eight hours of ditch digging. ER break rooms have changed a LOT in the last forty years. In the 1980s, everyone ran on nicotine and caffeine. The break rooms had an ash tray the size of a sombrero, and looked like a camp fire had just gone out in it. There were at least six 44 ounce styrofoam Big Gulp cups filled with Circle K coffee.- which female lead from an old western would you have wanted to fuck, and why is it Angie Dickinson?
Arlene Golonka really caught my eye in Hang Em High. Especially after she spent all that time being sweet, innocent Millie on Mayberry RFD. But, back to Angie Dickinson- Christmas Party at Nakatomi Plaza Tomorrow
I did not know that. I do know that after watching Then Came Bronson, it was upsetting that hot, crazy girls didn't show up at the beach, take off their clothes, then jump on the back of my motorcycle.- Your childhood dream job vs your currrent career? Any ragerts
Should have been more realistic, just a cowboy, astronaut millionaire.- Your childhood dream job vs your currrent career? Any ragerts
Yeah, but you're in real estate in California. You should be able to buy out Chip Kelley's AND Sarkisian's contract with the money in your couch cushions.- Christmas Party at Nakatomi Plaza Tomorrow
She stayed hot for a long time. This was her in Then Came Bronson in 1969. Die Hard was 1988 and she was still smoke.- Your childhood dream job vs your currrent career? Any ragerts
When I was a kid I wanted to be an artist. Ended up being a firefighter and doing sports photography, writing and interviews on the side. Life's actually a lot better than I planned.- Act person you thought would make it big but didn’t
Seemed like everybody that was in American Graffiti had a solid career, but Paul Le Mat, that played John Milner's career never took off. It's pretty crazy how many of the even fringe characters became stars. Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss, Cindy Williams, Mackenzie Phillips, Kathleen Quinlan, Suzanne Summers, all went on to have solid careers. Le Mat was featured, and had solid on screen charisma, but never did much else.- no.2 overall recruit in the nation decommits from Florida State to go play for Coach Prime at Jackson State
I was never a big Deion fan, but the guy impresses me. He doesn't just understand the game of football, he understands the game owners and GMs play with players. He figured out how to jump from a dogshit franchise to getting a Super Bowl win with the 49ers, then jumping and getting another with the Cowboys, got massive paychecks both times, and got out of the game without a major brain injury. He also understands all the leeches that take player money and leave them broke, like the hooker chicks, agents and investors. If a kid is a true generational talent, Deion can show them the ropes on how to maximize their potential and not end up in a mobile home with other people spending the money they made. Also, the guy really broke one of my long standing beliefs that great players never make great coaches. My theory was that great players operated largely on talent, and the great coaches were guys that were okay talents, but had to fully understand the game, cause they couldn't just out-physical everyone. Remains to be seen if he becomes a great coach, but his record so far is outstanding, and he's got people talking about a school that hardly anyone knew existed a couple of years ago.- B12 championship game - Baylor vs OSU - 11am on ABC
I know one person...- CFB coaching carousel
Dammit, I still want to see Ed Orgeron go to Oregon, just to watch the sports journalists try to get through a story.- B12 championship game - Baylor vs OSU - 11am on ABC
Picked up two starting offensive linemen in the portal. Nose tackle Siaki Ika portaled in from LSU. Drew Estrada, caught one of the TD passes, transfered in. Dillon Doyle, second year starting linebacker, came in last year from Iowa.- 2022 Schedule is out
You can't wait until next October to make a prediction.- Brian Kelly to L$U
Nah, he'd react more like this...- Fightin’ Mike Gundys vs land thieves
The two biggest openings are Oklahoma and Notre Dame. Gundy to Oklahoma could actually trigger the apocalypse. I think Gundy's settled into that unique group of coaches who like where they are and don't want to move. A school like Oklahoma State doesn't get the blinding, annoying spotlight, but their name is good enough to make the playoffs with a successful campaign. It may be my "poors" attitude, but after you're making $5 million a year or so, the extra money is often for bragging rights. If you can't prepare for retirement with that salary, it's a money management problem, not a salary problem. Course, you never say never, cause anytime rumors come up, it's a possibility of a contract extension or salary bump for you, and if somebody legit approaches you with an offer, you have to listen. However, most of these coaching rumors don't spring up out of thin air, although some do. The only thing stupider than a journalist is a sports journalist. The "out of thin air" projections are from people who see a hot coach and say, "Hey! He once fucked a girl from South Bend. Notre Dame's going after him for sure." A lot of these rumors, though, are planted by agents to try and build impetus. Max Engel pitching Sonny Dykes for Oklahoma HAD to have been planted by his agent. Final note: Lincoln Riley's handling of the situation shows exactly why you should never believe a coach. They can come up with 99 ways to lie without actually lying.- CFB coaching carousel
Rhule's good at getting the most out of players. His recruiting at Baylor was suspect, but he had also started writing his number on NFL bathroom walls the day he signed his first Baylor contract, so he never looked at Baylor as a long term home. If you want a recruiter, not your guy. If you want someone to change a culture, he can do it. The turn around at Baylor was pretty impressive, considering he jettisoned about a third of the players, and the 2016 recruiting class completely disappeared. BUT, he never beat a ranked team while at Baylor, and in the ten win 2019 season, over half those wins were one score games. For Baylor, he was a home run hire, cause he got rid of a lot of guys who could play, but couldn't keep from breaking the law. They went 1-11 the first year, and got their asses beat cause they started something like 14 freshmen, including on the line, at various times that year. There were a lot of injuries, cause linemen usually need some time to develop. He never made a big deal about kicking someone out, but he wouldn't blink, no matter how good they were on the field. The joke around Baylor was someone was encouraged to be successful somewhere else. Been meaning to write this, but it's a consideration with Sark. He may have to clear the building before the culture changes. Rhule had to at Baylor, and that first year was brutal.- Lincoln Riley to USC
