You commented on the contents of the interview after actually listening to it??! That's pretty unusual around here. Most of us prefer to revert to our preconceived notions and dust off our standard talking points when discussing our "impressions" of the interview and just skip the whole 11...

Bill Snyder, Bobby Bowden, Frank Beamer - through some combination of luck , innovation and skill, these guys went into places that had been backwater posts in the football world and made them prominent nationally. It's telling that those schools typically regress to their mean (as has UM)...

I may be crazy but it seems like there was a rumor linking Paul Johnson to the Auburn job a few years ago. While it would have been fun to see the outcome, CPJ doesn't strike me as a guy who wants to schmooze with boosters. I don't know many coaches who would. If I were a coach, the NFL would be...

You are obviously close to the situation there. If this is true (and I will assume that it is) would you consider the Auburn athletic department to be more poorly managed than our own? From the outside looking in, that place appears to be a dumpster fire that is run by the boosters. I know a...

I have no issue at all with your complaint. We just don't have the resources (imo) tpo scrutinize every single post. I have always said we are like the police...we catch some of the speeders some of the time but not all of the speeders all of the time. Is it fair? If you said no I think that the...

Boorish behavior is unacceptable...no matter its form. Again, just an opinion. It is obvious that most disagree with mine on this issue.

True but "back in the day" your discsussions were limited more or less to your circle of friends. Like any decent conversation, after people said what they had to say once or twice they moved on to new talking points. For whatever reason, when people are venting through a keyboard, apparently...

This would be fascinating if he got an NFL offer. I wonder how coaches evaluate other coaches? I ask this because I am currently a teacher. The students I teach in HS who have the skillset and drive to do well score well in all the various and sundry tests that we use to measure students and...

This is a mistake that each and every married man must learn for themselves. Wisdom is not passed along from generation to generation although you can try. The young men reading your words of wisdom must learn this for themselves. You can read the Bible and see that this is so...we cannot or...

Well, she does need new tires on her car. I am thinking abut Michelins because she does deserve the very best after all. Actually we eat out rarely...but we do have a favorite restaurant. It's very pricey but worth it. I hope it's not to late to book a reservation but it probably is. Thanks for...

This is status quo with that group (NCAA) imo.

Feel free to use it as you see fit. My art, such that it is, is meant to be shared rather than hoarded. ;)

My good fellow, how would you expect any of US to be able to answer with any degree of certainty this question? Most of us dumb enough to pick GT as our school got out before you had to be smart to get in. ;)

I have had two recent conversations with HS coaches that confirm this. It's not hurting the blue chip guys, it is hurting the questionable or lower ranked guys. College coaches (per the coaches spoke with) seem to prefer gambling more on a 21 year old coming from another program than an 18 year...

It's odd...we got the exact same question (with a slight twist) via PM from Techster this morning. He too was asking for a friend. Do y'all have a mutual friend or something?

IIRC, the local city government wouldn't yield to the Spartan's owner's demands for a new stadium with luxury boxes so he threatened to move to a city that would. Detroit, Flint, Sheboygan and Toledo were all considered and submitted bids but the owner was from Akron and there has always been a...

I am a broken record on this topic but for me, by far the biggest reason I don't like going to games in person is the wasted time for commercials. This is not inclusive to Tech games either. I have declined tickets to games in my area as well for this reason. I may be in the minority on this but...

I watched the recent interview with Coach Chip Long. One thing he said that jumped out at me regarding players on the roster...."if you aren't recruiting them, someone else is". It slid by in the interview discussion here but I interpreted his comment to mean that tampering happens and is out in...

This is a very generous offer Nuke but are you sure you want some of these guys posting in the basebll forum going forward? Think it over, I can delete this if you wish. ;)

I will be interested in how or what shakes out. I play golf regularly with a group of guys who graduated from SEC schools (not Bama or Uga). One of them is a ND grad. Interestingly enough, the conversations with them echo most of what we say here in that the college FB has jumped the shark in...
