If I recall correctly, she was working in the athletic department at Tennessee, not sure if as a promising student/intern or already a graduate and Lane Kiffin convinced her to go work for him at USC. That’s how Sark knew of her, and now she’s Sark’s right hand woman in the Football offices. You’ll see her be one of the first people to approach the coach after games.

By the way, WFAA.com (weird source, but it is what it is) had this long feature on Loreal a couple weeks ago, and all seems good with the couple. It mainly focuses on her personal stylist ambitions.

Quote

Loreal is in Dallas for the 89th Cotton Bowl Classic at AT&T Stadium on Friday. A win would mean a trip to the national championship in Atlanta. 

“Winning is fun but, it’s hard to win and I don’t think people who maybe aren’t in the sport day in and day out, where it’s the job, understand winning is actually a luxury. Everything has to work on all cylinders for everybody, at once, and it’s a special moment when that happens. So every time we win, that’s something I think about," she said.

Sarkisian also got a little more personal on what a win would mean for Coach Sark, because, “I get to see him all day, every day, authentic self, involved in his craft and he is not only a student of his craft but, a master. It matters to him. I respect it and I appreciate that, knowing how hard he works at it day in and day out and what it actually means to him and especially the journey he’s been on to this day personally and professionally.”

She looks like she belongs on a red carpet. I thought she was a celebrity in the picture.

That seems to be a confusing situation, unless it’s been clarified and I missed it. He started wearing his wedding ring again, I think she’s worn her ring in social media posts (some from games if I recall) and Loreal was on the stage during at least one of the bowl win celebrations. And no, I’m not confusing her with UT Football exec Kyrah McCowan, like some have. It’s Loreal.

I didn't know her name or position until this post.  I thought she was his side piece/bodyguard.

There is a chrome extension that blocks the google AI from posting that above your search.

Yes. You can set your default search engine in your browser to https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14 or just bookmark it. It definitely reduces the enshittification of google search but by how much is debatable.

When that Ohio State kid chooses us, we're in good hands. Take another 1-2 and we're cooking. It allows the younger kids time to learn and also get some action..especially Sharma. We'll be fine with Brevard, Shaw, the Ohio  State kid with another 1-2 to groom the frosh on what to do and learn.

What's funny is that after all the gnashing of teeth, if we get the tOSU guy and pick up a quality starter like the Clemson guy in the spring, we will end up better at DL than we were this past year.

Oh, easily. We will be feared. We will demolish Georgia on our way to an SECX3 championship. Stockton is a dead man walking.

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children; and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”

I honestly didn't pay much attention to A&Ms class this cycle. Surprised they ended at 6 considering we were pantsing them almost at will this cycle. OU falling off seems to have improved the margin for error.

247 Composite had them at 9th. Classes 7-10 were within 2 points of each other, which is a minuscule difference. So they pretty much finished just inside the top 10 on most sites, which is where they end up most years, and this was Elko’s new coach bump class.

The great news is, no matter how good their recruiting ranking might be, we know the ags will squander it and go 8-4 (TM).

I know Jonah Williams is a stud in baseball, but man does he have the potential to be something special if he decides to focus on football. 

Have you seen the size of those baseball contracts? If you can get that, forget football.

Is 7 Top 50 defensive recruits good? With 5 stars at Edge, linebacker, corner and safety?

John Mackovic would think that was awesome, and they'd all end up at WR by the end of their first summer drills.

But then you have to spend all summer, every summer, living constantly on the road playing a boring ass game, that takes 3 to 4 hours, 5,6, or sometimes even 7 days a week. 

Plus, baseball is much more of a specific skill required sport than football and harder to make it to the major leagues at all, much less be a guy commanding top dollar like Ohtani. It, along with hockey, are the major American sports where raw athleticism doesn't go nearly as far on it's own. You can make the NBA and NFL pretty reliably with elite athletic traits and size, not as true for the MLB or NHL.

Anyone still worried about our DC?

I think I have a post in 2022, or maybe in 2023 after OU drove down the field to win the game, in which I said something along the lines of "It's time to accept that as long as PK is our defensive coordinator, we will never have an elite defense. Period."
