Leach went to Pepperdine for Law School, I think. BYU for undergrad. Religious nuts errywhere?

Expand  

Pepperdine University (/ˈpÉ›pÉ™rdaɪn/) is a private Christian research university affiliated with the Churches of Christ with its main campus in Los Angeles County, California, United States.

 

The Churches of Christ, also commonly known as the Church of Christ, is a loose association of autonomous Christian congregations located around the world. Typically, their distinguishing beliefs are that of the necessity of baptism for salvation and the prohibition of musical instruments in worship

 

 

Churches of Christ generally share the following theological beliefs and practices:[14]

  • Autonomous, congregational church organization without denominational oversight;[22]: 238 [23]: 124 
  • Refusal to hold to any formal creeds or informal "doctrinal statements" or "statements of faith", stating instead a reliance on the Bible alone for doctrine and practice;[21]: 103 [22]: 238, 240 [23]: 123 
  • Local governance[22]: 238  by a plurality of male elders;[23]: 124 [24]: 47–54 
  • Baptism by immersion of consenting believers[22]: 238 [23]: 124  in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for the forgiveness of sins;[14][21]: 103 [23]: 124 
  • Practice of a cappella singing is the norm in worship,[25] based on New Testament passages teaching to sing for worship, with no mention of instrumental music (and also that worship in church assemblies for centuries in the early Church practiced a cappella singing).[22]: 240 [23]: 125

National Letters of Intent do not exist anymore. I think the only thing binding under the current structure is scholarship papers, which binds the school to the recruit, but not vice versa. Theoretically, anyone who just "signed" can just enroll somewhere else, correct? Kind of makes national signing day a ceremony and somewhat meaningless. 

Expand  

Correct on no more NLI’s, however, there is language in the scholarship papers that does bind the player to the school, once the paperwork is processed.  It’s new verbiage added this fall since the NCAA 86’ed NLI’s.

I was just thinking that the transfer portal thread needed an argument about religion. Oh wait, no I wasn’t, because that would be fucking stupid. 
 

take this shit somewhere else.

It’s a classic mike leach quote, you rookie fuckwad.

You grab CJ Donaldson because you have no clue how CJ Baxter will be next season.

It's intuitive. A CJ insurance replacement for CJ. You can't lose.

Expand  

There are just so many unknowns with that room right now. Baxter's health, does Blue come back, what do we do with Gibson, what do the freshmen look like, etc. 

If Blue is gone they might rather get a speed guy.

Yikes. There is a large disconnect between what Maalik and his fanboys seem to think about him and what college programs seem to think about him.

Expand  

He’s no longer a backup. Everyone knows the backup is no longer the best QB when he’s not a backup.

Didn't he have two bad fumbles to start the bowl game?

Best friend growing up in Dallas went to Pepperdine for one year…

1) He was one strike away from being expelled with the penultimate infraction being Empty Beer Cans found behind a couch in his suite. 

2) He and his group of friends all transferred away after one year. 
(Beautiful view, but not worth it because the school was run by religious nut jobs.)

3) Everyone I know who went to UCSB loved it. 

No one complained about religious nut jobs. Only person who transferred away chose to transfer to UT and I think that it was for financial reasons. (Instate tuition)

Expand  

A buddy of mine went to Pepperdine and said it was the greatest expweice he ever had. Said on the outside you wouldn't think they party, but that's a party school littered with rich kids who love giving away their parents money on beer and drugs. 

Sign me up, fam.

Is A&M looking to bring in 15 receivers?

 

 

Expand  

I don't really get what aggy is doing at WR. This would be their 3rd addition at WR of the same mold. Talented but very little production at the college level.

Do they know there are proven WRs in the portal with actual production? I'm confused but then I keep reminding myself that Wiggins is their WR coach.

Obviously the proven wide receivers with actual production are aware of aggy as well and prefer more actual production.

I don't know if I am a fanboy but I am a fan. He kept his nose clean, worked hard, represented UT well, and left on good terms.

The apparent psychological need that some of y'all feel to crap on him is disappointing, however. 

Expand  

Lol. He got shadow-benched for some kind of disciplinary issue while he was here. He also did not leave the team on good terms.

I don't know if it's "crapping on him" as much as people just finding it weird that these fanboys keep making up stuff in their heads.

It's actually weird how some have tried to hype up his play/ability.

How much drugs did you do, and where can I find them?

I was talking about Murphy too. Dude is a shithead that’s a uniquely shitty QB

Expand  

Wut?
 

Murphy isn't a shit head. He's a bad QB, but he's a hard worker and a good teammate.
