  1. Counterpoint: the feds are exactly as harsh as they need to be. I truly don’t get the desire to let people like this rehabilitate in our communities. Truly glad if they are sorry and changed; you can demonstrate that in prison.
  2. Almost no coaches got fully guaranteed contracts till the 2010s. And for that matter, almost no NFL players get fully guaranteed contracts. You put an early termination clause in that is agreed to. That’s why so many players try to front-load.
  3. Fully guaranteed contracts are relatively new. Coaches and schools were willing to forgo that in the past because it was understood both sides might want to make a change midstream. Mack’s last contract had a 3.5 million buyout that went down every year he remained at Texas. https://amp.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/texas-approves-brown-contract-extension
  4. You want us to go in together on a compact? Yeah, we can likely help with a down payment. You’re thinking what, a Civic? Corolla?
  5. (Somewhat) oddly tear gas and riot control agents are banned on the battlefield for escalation reasons but not for civilian riot control use. The U.S. and most countries use it for riot control. Not that I trust modern ICE with it, but under other admins I wouldn’t blink an eye.
  6. I did a bit of a search on this and can’t find anything but this Substack as a source and I’m frankly really skeptical. The United States does not posses or produce chemical weapons. It’s unclear what missiles the warheads would go on and what platform they’d be used with. There’s no missiles in the DHS inventory to use.
  7. We gotta do better than ChatGPT Facebook posts.
  8. Tortilla throwing was fun and cool. I was a kid at the 1995 Cotton Bowl and the tortillas and the Song Girls were deeply memorable. They should let them have a dedicated tortilla throw time. Every step to suck the uniqueness and fun from CFB is bad.
  9. Self-licking ice cream cone?
  10. I mean, we will see how long this lasts and what it means long term. I see a bubble that will explode. A lot of athletic departments would be distressed assets if state institutions weren’t ultimately on the hook here. Its like NIL, which was sold as “let the kids do car commercials but morphed into ‘pay the backup TE 300 dollars directly.” I think it’s all headed for a crash landing. But maybe Saudi PE is the answer, PE works everywhere!
  11. Yes. At this point, if you don’t have to fire your corch you should wait. Cignetti came up from the FCS ranks. But that worked because it was IU.
  12. Counterpoint: The revenue comes from people buying tickets and making donations and those costs are spiraling to where bringing up the next generation in the stands is cost-prohibitive to families on a reasonable budget.
  13. My post was more tongue in cheek about how casually college FB fans talk about eyewatering amounts of money that should lead to failed corches leaving generational wealth.
  14. 20 million here, 20 million there….pretry soon you’re talking real money.
  15. I’m beginning to think that contracts need to require HCs retain an HC and DC who call plays from the box. It seems that it’s nearly always lackluster when the HC wants to retain that. HCs need to do game management and strategy, the plays need to be called from upstairs. And an unwillingness to allow that flags that someone may not be HC ready.
  16. ““Not everybody’s the perfect person in the world. I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever.”— Tyrelle Pryor and RFK Jr, probably.
  17. Fuck the media. “No, you can’t write “excrement.” That would be unseemly.”
  18. SEC scheduling has been weird for a long time, trying to preserve historic rivalries and every-year non-con games. We’ve also never been to Lexington. LSU-UGA only played twice in the regular season since 2009. Last win in BR was 1994, last game was in 1995 in CS (a win for A&M) until the 2011 Cotton Bowl.
  19. What? A&M beat LSU five in a row in the 90s before the series went on hiatus till 2012.
  20. This summer the Florida system in general got a court decision allowing schools to reach beyond that fee and redirect other student-derived fees to athletics. Texas as a state is not better, this is just an indicator of where the whole thing has gone off the rails for most schools.
  21. Plot twist: The poop video was meant to be a hype video and the people getting shat on by DJT are his voters.
  22. Good investment for whom is the question? I’ve yet to see a direct, non-funny math explanation of college athletics helping make school more affordable or better in quality for the students of a given state. Which is ostensibly why state colleges exist.
  23. Yep. And in Florida, student fees go to athletics. It’s insane and higher ed/college sports needs to get a hard reset.
  24. Maybe they shouldn’t have hired the Hugh Freeze experience and gone full Righteous Gemstones. Auburn being bad and losing close, boring games is a great SEC experience.
  25. A lot of fan bases are going to be really disappointed and some mid coaches are going to get some crazy paydays. Wait till Auburn enters the chat.
