Is there another failed former Nebraska OC out there on the market?Â
Barney Cotton just had a new heart installed so he should be good to go.

Managino, Paul Johnson, and Charlie Weis too.Â

The issue is that it seems like Aranda should be in line for a much better job. He’s arguably the best DC in college football and has been for years - and he’s going to UNLV?
How many people even knew UNLV has a football team?
There also moving into the new Raiders Stadium and get some of that sweet Fertitta booster cash too.

Pastor Olson likes to remind us that if you object to refugees that you haven’t been paying very close attention to what Lutherans like to do when you’ve been showing up on Sunday’s.Â

I enjoyed it thoroughly especially the Gravity’s Rainbow joke. I was probably predisposed to like it because I was raised by a mom who loves mystery novels and Murder She Wrote, and it rubbed off on me

I think we are starting to see a swing back to coaches quitting earlier and going into adminstration like they used to do in the 70's and 80's on a more frequent basis. All the guys that have been HC's since their 30's are probably getting good and sick of this shit, and don't need the moneyÂ

Curious why this proposition from five years ago is suddenly “news” in right-wing circles.
Someone typed California and crime into a search and then emailed the first hit that they hadn’t emailed alreadyÂ

except that 17 & 18 year olds that have never lived away from home don't have any experience or life skills for dealing with a sudden influx of $100k. Â You can say all you want about how their parents should have taught them better or prepared them better for "real life", but I'd be willing to bet that plenty of people on surly or anywhere else would willingly admit that they would have fucked themselves up pretty good if someone had said come up to them their first day of college and said "here's $100k, have fun".
My point is not that the players should not have any responsibility, it's that the organizations, coaches, etc. that all go on and on about "molding young men" and "educating people that wouldn't normally be able to go to college" and the purity of student athletics shouldn't just say "hey guys, you're adults, figure all this shit out on your own, this is not our problem."
Â

I enjoy all the handwring about kids getting a sudden influx of cash and what they might do with it, yet the same collegiate system doesn’t seem to worry what kids might do if we loaned them a big chunk of cash instead.Â

They're already in the entertainment business. Have you been UT the last several years? I mean they have their own network don't they?
No shit, I'm asking if it makes any sort of sense to keep going that way.Â

To quote the oft overlook line from "The Program"
when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment?Â
Doesn't mean those 80,000 people showing up to watch are doing the school any good. Is there a good fucking reason to expect a bunch of state owned entities to be in the entertainment business? At some point, wouldn't it make sense to let schools be schools, and the sports entertainment business be the sports entertainment business.Â

As for T9, I get that money from 3rd party endorser won't apply...now. BUT, do we not envision that being challenged in court? Â
Or say a school can't directly pay it's players, but players can receive payments for endorsements and their likeness...... that's not "fair" to the track and field or swimmers who don't have video games to benefit from. Or the female BBall or softball players who can't even fill a stadium much less get endorsements or games made. Â
I think this system will result in a widening of the gap between the haves and have-nots. This resulting lack of parity will cause 2nd tier programs to fold up shop. The result will be disastrous to women's athletics and non-revenue sports.
Well at a certain point, you probably have to ask how athletic departments are serving the interests of providing educational and research opportunities for students.Â

I hope this ends up like the Boxers in Thailand that fully adopt corporate names like CP Freshmart, etc.Â

I've lived my whole adult life reading Jimmy C was the worst president not named Andrew Johnson (and now DJ Trump).
Is the power of time so strong that, reasonably removed from short term thoughts and memories, the warts and grit of legacies and reputations are sanded down to a nice smooth sheen so that we now have people who love GWB because he hangs out with Ellen and tickles Michelle Obama at funerals and Jimmy Carter is now a great president?
Or are we so brutal and stupid in the moment and present, completely lacking awareness, so that those topical opinions can never be trusted but for the passing of time?
At that this point, who gives a shit how good of a President he was? He clearly among  the best of a class in being a damn good human being.

Looks like he may have cracked a little and I'm guessing might have been on the QAnon train. https://twitter.com/francis_cimino

Hmm, story linked says he was inside causing a disturbance, went out to the truck, rammed the CFA then got out with some sort of weapon. A BNSF Agent (Railroad Cop) shot him outside the building. It was the first line in the story. Where does the drive thru confrontation and the LPD cruiser story come from?
Earlier updates before the full press conferenceÂ
-
Apparently the dead guy went nuts while an LPD cruiser was behind him in the drive through line and the officer engaged him immediatelyÂ
-
A disgruntled Chik-fil-a customer rammed his truck into the restaurant after causing a disturbance, and got shot to death by somebody(not clear if police or other at the moment).

he's a wizard, no question. but did you read the articles. more specifically, did you read his "coaching" to his qbs. not sure what the secret sauce is but it's clearly not conveyed in his words.
qb: coach, what did i do wrong in throwing that interception.
leach: you threw an interception. don't throw interceptions.
qb: ok, gotcha.
Â
I bet Shawn Watson would have drilled deeply down into the mistakes the QB made, and made adjustments in his exquisitely detailed playbook.Â

Just think, some Ole Miss administrator probably had to blow a FedEx guy to get those tents delivered.

Colorado is rolling out aluminum cups for beer this Saturday for Nebraska’s visit to Folsom Field, I figured I should mention it now so people aren’t surprised when that ends poorly.

Why demote Tim Beck to hire Tim Beck with a different name, and without the same defense and special teams structure to surround him?
