  1. Jay Culter, Gloria Vanderbilt, Anderson Cooper, and Mack Brown (before he transferred to FSU). So.... No. No fans.
  2. Probably only needs a title company to help with closing. They plan to pay with ones.
  3. Crud - meant to edit, but quoted myself. Sorry, folks.
  4. To help all of surl understand the new rules, how would they have been applied to Tom Herman? When could the "Fire Tom Herman" thread start? Warehime hired After he uncomfortably hugs Mack Brown at intro press conference After intro press conference Warehime clogs toilet and swears like a sailor on at Walker Little's house Admission that he watched zero film of players Runny eggs and burnt toast Halftime of Maryland Game (down 30-14) End of Maryland game (0-1 meets less than 50% criterion) Other?
  5. As a reminder, his 1998 staff: OC - Greg Davis OL - Tim Nunez RB - Bruce Chambers TE - Tim Brewster WR - Daryl Drake DC - Carl Reese DE - Hardy McCrary DB - Everett Withers ST - Mike Tolleson SC - Madden Staff was the same in 1999, if I recall correctly; Oscar Giles and Tom Herman were added as GA.
  6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Alabama_Crimson_Tide_football_team Kirby Smart.
  7. Urban: We're putting the band back together. Charlie: Forget it. No way. Shad: We're on a mission from God.
  8. I'm curious why these guys feel the need to publicly declare who they turned down. Ego and projection of relevance. me: Boss, got a 2x offer from competitor. Boss (option 1): pack your bags and fuck off. Boss (option 2): we'll match. If option 2 is chosen, boss and I don't skip down the halls declaring he just doubled my salary. We'd both be universally hated. I guess I am about to answer my own question - they announce this shit so that (1) coach's ego can be stroked and (2) program's ego can be stroked (3) BMDs ego can be stroked.
  9. You misspoke. Thats Ms. Honorable Fitlump, Esteemed Leader and Representative of the 6th District of Austin for its Confederacy of Dunces (aka City Council).
  10. Bill OBrien will make sure that doesn't occur.
  11. What exactly does that mean? Was he off-limits? And - how is anyone off-limits?
  12. Overall academic reputation - yes; absolutely. Athletics, on the other hand, will not be encumbered in a similar fashion.
  13. Bad attempt at a joke on my part, I guess. There's an occasional theme that UT admin and AD - in their occasional perceived apathy or inaction - are trying to turn the UT AD "into Cal" with academic standards and other agendas. If Cal was able to get Marshawn Lynch and DeSean Jackson on the field, their "academic standards" are allowed to slide...
  14. DeSean Jackson? Holy shit, we are turning into Cal.
  15. My strident post from ~ 1 month ago did not age well. Steelers finished out 1-5, including the playoffs. Cleveland finished out 4-2, including 2-0 against the Steelers.
  16. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30685827/houston-texans-ignored-search-firm-hiring-gm-nick-caserio-sources-say If only Texas had ignored K-F, too. That said, it looks like the Texans screwed the pooch here. Khan and ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Louis Riddick, who are both minority candidates, were the two finalists before Texans owner Cal McNair changed his mind, ignored the recommendation of the search firm he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do weeks of work and hired former New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio, sources said.
  17. First, not a fan of Jeff Fisher. Second, if Tennessee brings him in and he follows the ASU/Herm Edwards plan for building a staff and program, I think he could be successful. Tennessee's most successful years corresponded to these programs being down: Bama, LSU, Texas, Auburn, etc. Plus, they cheated their asses off. ASU treats its program as NFL-prep. I see that as Tennessee's best option and worth the risk.
  18. Yes. He had around 250 passing and almost 100 rushing.
  19. Collective IQ of both Vandy and Auburn will go up.
  20. If we'd only been a little more patient... He's Herman level unlikable.
  21. Being out-coached by Kirby Smart should be a disqualifier for the Texas job.
  22. Not sure if you're serious. Wisconsin scored 7, 6, and 7 against NW, Indiana, and Iowa this year.
  23. https://tucson.com/sports/arizonawildcats/football/kevin-sumlins-contract-includes-10-million-reasons-to-stick-with-arizona-for-at-least-two/article_03b988ae-e36a-5285-882b-c71afd942962.html Article from Jan 2018.
