Dang, that looks purty. The amount of stuff happening on screen at one time is insane.
I waited 10 years, I can wait 2, or 3, more for the next. Then we get the band back together. We just swap two beer with the night shift for Ensure and early bedtimes.

Tuesday morning can't get here soon enough.
It's hard to look at that image and not hear A Flock of Seagulls playing in my head.

South Carolina QB Spencer Rattler is entering himself in the NFL Draft.
August 2021 was a hell of a long time ago for Rattler

And Johnson announced he is going to UNC
Good for him. Did the best he could with unmotivated receivers, terrible coaching and truly awful OL play.
He was gonna be third string at A&M anyway, so nobody is surprised. And now he probably won’t get the snot beat outta him every game. Hope his little brother stays, though.

O man I forgot all about Petrino being at A&M. What a dumpster fire.
And Durkin. And Addazio. It's like we put all the worst possible ex HCs together in one staff. Glad to flush the whole lot of em (except Elijah Robinson, gotta keep him).

At least Elko makes sense, if it's really him. Knows the place and half the players. Younger coach and probably won't have an insane contract. Might actually try to run modern schemes on both sides of the ball. Maybe he doesn't work out, but at least he has a shot.
Stoops made no sense at all. Why pay $75 million to fire Jimbo, then hire his clone? We'd have ended up paying both of em not to coach in a few years. And Stoops would've been at $10 million per year.
I'd love to know what really happened last night, but I doubt the truth ever comes out. My willingness to believe anything said on the subject is inversely proportional to how convinced the person saying it is that they're right. Craziest story I saw was the board of regents agreed on a target, but Bjork went rogue and tried to hire Stoops on his own. Figure I can rule that one out, as Bjork hasn't been fired.

Keep seeing stuff different places online about Ryan Day to A&M.
Near as I can tell, the ultimate source for every one of em is a parody post on whats left of Deadspin which was just screen caps from an Aggie message board.
Sounds reliable to me.

I got into the Beastie Boys when I was 12 and had no idea that Licensed to Ill was essentially a joke record. I recently texted my brother, asking him how the hell we never realized that.
For the same reason rednecks love Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother. People don’t want to know the jokes on them.

You get a buyout! And you get a buyout!
When was the last time two teams played each other, in a non end of season game, then both fired their coach afterwards? Gotta figure that’s not common.

Just hope y’all learned a lesson about guaranteed contracts.
Problem is, Lanning (if he’s the guy) would probably require one of those insane fully guaranteed contracts.
I’ve seen some ridiculous names thrown around today. Deion. Kiffin. Swinney. Meyer. Kingsbury. Dan Campbell.

Sports Illustrated is reporting that Michigan has discussed leaving the Big Ten.
They’re PAC-2 bound.
Part of me wonders if the timing of the Fisher firing is Michigan related. Maybe the BOR guessed Harbaugh is gone to the NFL, and landing your preferred target is a lot easier if Michigan isn’t also in the picture for him.

5 hours ago, JLowe said:They are apparently targeting DeBoer and Lanning. Some of the Regents really want UTSA coach Jeff Traylor, and that’s where they might end up. Good coach, tons of Texas connections, but no P4 head coaching history.
I’d be shocked if it’s traylor. Figure they’ll go after one or both of the other two, or Elko.
Shoulda let Jimbo walk to LSU two years ago and kept Elko then. Would’ve lost a few from THE GREATEST CLASS EVER~!, but the list would’ve overlapped pretty close with the ones that have already been run off or transferred.

Gonna be weird if Jimbo gets a stint as a Nick Saban assistant
I didn’t know I needed to see that till I read your post.

What a weird time to do it. I can only guess they were in a rush to snap up whoever we’re gonna money whip next before somebody else did. If not, why not wait till we lose to LSU to do this?
Goodbye to Jimbo and the worst collection of former HCs on the planet - Petrino, Addazio and Durkin.
Keep Elijah Robinson please. The rest can go.
now I gotta go to Mass and fight the temptation to keep looking at my phone the whole time

Wife's aunt died yesterday. Honestly glad she's at peace now. Wife and I volunteered in dementia wards for years, and I'm not sure I've seen a worse case.
So now I get to deal with my wife's family.
I can just about handle my inlaws. They're the sanest of the bunch. I just have to protect my wife from their low grade insanity, which never comes out if I'm around. I've had 25 years of practice at that.
And at least I won't (I think) have to deal with the worst of her family. The thieving bastards' (like steal a relative's life savings level of thieving) and gang members probably won't make an appearance, since they'd actually have to spend money to get there. (I had to stand in as a pallbearer at her grandfather's funeral after one of her cousins went on the run - the police were looking for him over a gang related shooting the day before the funeral.)
So this time I get to deal with the medium grade level assholes. My wife's jackass uncle who lives in a $5 million house, but didn't want to spend money on a funeral, despite his wife's very clear wishes. The cousin and her POS husband who couldn't possibly help with any of this shit for her mom, despite their supposedly endless wealth and lack of any real responsibilities.

And see that is where you're wrong... they weren't being loyal...
They wanted to take over:
I've spent all my spare time this week dealing with 18 months of my father's unread email, unsubscribing him from mailing lists and deleting thousands of conspiracy theory emails. I didn't expect the craziest thing I read all week to be on the weekly CFB thread here.

My current thoughts on the Michigan scandal: I do not understand how this could possibly both have been so complex (scouting all over the country, including multiple potential playoff opponents) while also being so dumb that this guy bought tickets in his own name.
Like if he had just had his network or whatever buy their own tickets and then sent them the money on venmo, it's entirely possible he/they never get caught. How in the hell is this guy smart enough to have graduated from the Naval Academy, and either been the point man on or have put together himself an elaborate college football spy ring, and yet not know that you don't leave an obvious paper trail.
Unless he's intentionally allowed himself to be positioned as the fall guy.
I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that SEC Shorts' dramatization of how this went down is 100% correct.

Decades ago during the later Montana years, the Niners used to roll a giant sound system out on their practice field and play Huey Lewis music cranked up before road games to simulate crowd noise.
When I was in grad school at Texas (late 90s), I walked out of the ENS building one November afternoon and wondered where all the yelling I heard was coming from. Then I heard the Aggie War Hymn fire up. It was loud as hell where I was, two thirds of the way across campus.

Someone who was 6 years old the last time Texas A&M won a national championship would be 90 years old currently.
Forget about national championships. A&M has only had three years that would generally be considered "good" since I graduated 29 years ago.
- 98, last conference championship won, with the out of nowhere win over undefeated K State
- 2012, 11-2, Manziel's Heisman year
- 2020, 9-1 in the Covid year

Back to coaching my sons baseball team again. I’ve had to tell the kids a lot of stuff over the last four years. But I’d never had to say “stop humping that sycamore tree”.
At least I hadn’t had to do that before last night.

Conner Weigman is out for the season after breaking something in his foot/ankle. If you're counting, that makes three years in a row that A&M has lost its starting QB for most of the year.
Please excuse me, I'm off to make a voodoo doll of Steve Addazio.

Auburn/A&M is absolutely miserable football, as expected.
The one nice thing about not having a break from 8 to 6 today is at least I can’t make myself suffer through watching that game.

So not having seen what happened to Chubb, and having no desire to do so, how catastrophic was this? Marcus Latimore catastrophic?

GTA 5 turns 10 years old this weekend. Somehow 5 is older now than San Andreas was when 5 came out.
Stuff. Not good. Not bad. Just...stuff.

Next time we have an active shooter in the neighborhood, it would be kinda helpful if the police let us know.
