My Lightning McQueen crocs are comfortable, flashy, and they light up. We could have the croccleats sync to the 3rd quarter light show. Would be a bold statement - I support it.

I would seriously vibe with NU going with New Balance for their new apparel partnership.

If you wanna pretend like Saban's tenure at MSU doesn't qualify under your metric (not mine) of "sorta-not-too-horrible at a s#!tty school" it's pretty obvious you're only trying to win an argument and not actually engaging with the real discussion. I never said Stoops' UK record is as good or about as good as Saban's. I said Saban's qualifies as "sorta-not-too-horrible at a s#!tty school". The point being that coaches doing ok at low-resource programs aren't fated to not being able to do any better than that. Sometimes that's the best they can do, and other times they do better with a better opportunity.

I'm sorry I thought the metric was "sorta-not-too-horrible at a s#!tty school". Nick Saban's tenure at MSU 100% qualifies as "sorta-not-too-horrible at a s#!tty school". Didn't know you would then back the goalposts up to pedantically flex they're not the 100% exact same because they don't have the exact same win percentage and one finished 9th while the other finished 11th. How about aka the Les Miles at Oklahoma State justification then?

Also aka the Nick Saban at Michigan State justification.

Pop quiz - who just had the #1 recruiting class with the highest ranking of any class ever in history?

Surely Michigan's recruiting couldn't have improved because of hiring Jim Harbaugh. Also surely their recruiting couldn't have improved because hiring a great coach led to them winning more games.

We have been able to at times, and we haven't even tried at other times. There's been....no games where we actually made an honest attempt to establish the run and failed.

We did that with Pelini and Frost. Your whole perspective is that we are entitled to success because we're soo important. We're not, and we aren't owed or guaranteed anything.

because it looks bad

Or a very savvy businessman with great marketing getting everyone to talk about twitter by just being loud. Shaking things up and getting attention is a classic takeover move, although I don't really know if there's a master plan here. Hard to fit inside the brain of an autistic socially inept genius clown.

Agreed. He's 62 and he's been at Utah for 28 years. Don't know if he has a brand new rebuild project in him even if he was interested, but he would've/could've been a great steal 6 years ago.

cue the "i deeply regret my actions and apologize to any I've offended, this does not reflect who I am as a person..." in 3....2....

Banking on something without a guarantee like that does not at all match up with Trev's personality.

Obviously Tierre Green

"if it bleeds it leads" Good motto to view all cable news through

This is a good move. We all know that jokes aren't funny if they don't have a disclaimer saying 'this is a joke' very apparent.

Sucking for a while is no reason to take good candidates out of consideration. That's fear-based decision making and it's the type of mentality that leads to hiring somebody like Mike Riley. Doesn't matter if you haven't won a game in a month or ten years - you find the guy you think is the best fit for the job and that may or may not include previous head coaching experience. Oklahoma after the 90's wasn't too scared to hire unproven Bob Stoops 'given the importance'; 23 years later I'd say that given the importance they did the right thing.

Oregon is a pretty terrible example since the Nike money and attention is a massive part of their status as a top brand now.

thank god the boomers have figured out how to solve our fan problems by giving the kids a blues clues game on their phone so they can pay more attention to the team going 3-9. the fan support is saved!

I learned when I woke up at 3p today that the game was at noon

This wasn't posted in this thread but figured it's worth highlighting anyways. Newspapers have nothing to do with free speech and never have.

Their classes from 2019-2021 were #4, #6 and #8, and they lost to Appalachain State and are 3-5.
