      @JJ Husker gotcha, I thought you were commenting that it was weird he hadn't heard it because he should have by now, but you were more commenting that it was weird to have not heard it (as in poor him). Subtle difference :P

       

      I actually never really got into 70s music. I probably haven't heard the entire song more than a couple times. I was more into 60s stuff and was obsessed with The Beatles.

      This kind of stuff always reminds me of this great scene from The Shack.  I choose to have no judgment of him or this situation.  Selfishness can be so ugly and hurtful.  May love, patience, kindliness and tolerance happen for all those harmed ... period.

      Oh totally...but the thing is in some markets the basketball players are basically freak show gods and a lot of the seasons are short so they can come back to the US and run some camps and get paid here too.

      Good players can earn up to $100,000 a year in Europe. D-league contracts usually hover around the $20,000 range. College players earn ??? 

      I wouldn't fault them for leaving, is what I'm trying to say.

      My son's basketball coach this past season played in Europe for around 10 years.  I guess he was a decent player at CSU, and then make a good living bouncing around Europe.  Now, he's in his mid 30s, back in the U.S. and is a realtor.

      Unless Vedral gets a release from UCF *and* wins NCAA approval, he's not going to count against our limit until next year, right? Or what am I missing here...?

      I believe @VectorVictor is correct; he'll be a walk-on this year, and will count against the limit next year.

      UCF won't release him to us. So therefore they can hold onto the scholarship for as long as they want (would be dumb because then they only get 84).... Unless I'm missing something.

      Having women in this role is actually pretty common in football now.   A majority of the ACC and SEC have women as their on-campus recruiting director or in the recruiting department.   

  12. Chernobyl is, easily, the best television series I have watched in the last five years. Its powerfully bleak true story is well written and impeccably well acted by an amazing cast and crew. I highly, highly recommend both it, and the podcast that accompany it.

      @ZRod @Enhance Did they ever revisit the guy from the roof that tore his boot open?

      @Cdog923 I haven't seen episode five just yet (my wife works evenings and we're watching it together, so we'll probably see it Friday or Saturday).

       

      However, after listening to the Chernobyl podcast (through episode 4), I'm going to assume no. I'm guessing the directors used character to represent the dangers of working on the roof and the likelihood that many of the men who helped clear it were injured or put at severe radiation risk. It could also be a true story, but not one they felt they a) had time to tell or b) thought was overly relevant to the bigger story.

      I am checking to see if Iowa has become champions of anything or a pipeline to the NFL overnight because that is not the moniker they have carried at any point under Papa Ferentz. And, Ferentz Lite is right, Iowa's lackluster history is something that sits squarely on the shoulders of the current staff. Good luck selling that to your fanbase, recruits, and players.

    3. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      This does raise the topic that Iowa hates Nebraska while that is not reciprocated down in Lincoln. This has given them an edge in games we play in late November. I would like to see the same level of vitriol coming out of the program toward the Hawkeyes (and Badgers for that matter). Call it a rivalry or not, but when someone is trying to take something away from your program, you need to meet them with the same intensity and bad intentions.

    4. ScottyIce

      Agreed TTRR.

       

      I don't necessarily consider Iowa a rival, but I hate them to pieces. I also hate Wisconsin. Although not quite as much.

      I think that a more seasoned media member might have asked it a different way and it wouldn't have sounded so bad.  I saw on Twitter that if the kid asked "Coach Riley, you have been coaching for 30 straight years, how does it feel if this is the end of your career?".  It's basically saying the same thing, but worded a lot better.

      did Fox post the whole feed to get the context of his tweets or did they just post his "offensive" tweets?

       

      (pretty sure the link said Fox)

      Cdog923

      @desertshox I haven't seen any reports from Fox, but the person who originally posted the tweets provided no context, let alone proof of Gunn's apologies and contrition since these were posted. 

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Yeah, the reason the tweets were left up was because Gunn didn't want to hide from his past--he acknowledged it, apologized for it, and moved on. He was (and is) pretty candid about all of that. 

       

      Also, there's an online petition circulating to reinstate James Gunn that's at 160,000+ signatures, and there's been rumblings that most, if not all of the GotG cast may take a powder if Gunn isn't involved in some capacity. Plus, Gunn was the one that not only has the first (and only draft) of GotG 3, he was going to be taking on a larger role in overseeing the next phase of Marvel movie development.

      Also, Disney is rather quiet about all of this...makes me wonder if they'll walk this back in some capacity--after all, they're still making money off Powder, right?
