Cynical

Oh, please tell me this is sarcasm.

More details regarding the UM investigation: http://www.miaminewt...-you-know/full/ Regarding the Jackie Sherrill investigation: Want to know why Bama people really hate the NCAA, and get agitated when somebody starts discussing the Albert Means fiasco? From the article: Side note: The U of Tenn HC and one of the secret witnesses being referred to in this article was none other than Fat Phil Fulmer. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.

This. In his second or third year, during a pre-season game, in the opponents red zone, DJ ran three straight running plays towards the middle of the field. Even in preseaon, when there was nothing to lose, the SOB still played for the FG. That was the most infuriating thing DJ ever did. Or the game where the Jets blitzed Revis 29(?) consecutive times. DJ stood on the sideline looking clueless on how to deal with that. When it came to strategy, DJ was a mere child in a man's game.

You disagree? You practically agreed with me. The scheme, the Tampa 2, is based on a particular philosophy. The bend, don't break philosophy is inline with his beliefs that games are decided based on the battle for turnovers and field position.

His failure had nothing to do with schemes or a competent OC. It had everything to do with his coaching philosophy. DJ coaching beliefs were the epitome of play (coach) not to lose. Actually, go back and look at DJ's time in Chicago. He did the same thing there. When he lost his first OC, who did he promote? His QB coach. It was pretty obvious DJ was a big believer in continuity among the coaching staff.

Mularkey went 5-11 the next season. Technically, a split hair better than half of nine. But wait! Mularkey's overall record was 14-18 (you can see it coming) for an average of: 7-9 a season.

Mike Mularkey and his 9-7 record would like a word with you.

Pretty funny. He does make some valid points, though. My daughter in law has an HP Win8 laptop. She loved it for about for the first 2-3 weeks. Now, she can't stand it. (it was an Xmas gift, so returning the item is not option). She likes to borrow my son's laptop (a Win7) because she "can get $&%* done". One of her biggest gripes is the "swipe" issue brought up in the video. She says that alone will annoy and frustrate the hell out a person.

For $1500? No. Now for $2400 ... http://www.advanced-intelligence.com/glasses.html Now, if you poke around a bit, they do offer some sample shots. (NSFW by the way)

A car accident waiting to happen. After a few hundred or so, another piece of technology to ban while driving.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--ncaa-firing-vp-of-enforcement-171556026.html I'm shocked, I tell ya, just shocked the NCAA would choose to ignore it's own policies in an investigation. Further down in the article is this tidbit: Pfft. Of course not. Hey Emmert. It's not broken, it's just plain .

Pardon, who's gums were itchy? http://youtu.be/2GMSVfWs8qk

She got married. Wouldn't be shocked to learn her marriage is the reason he spoke up. Give a teenage boy steady sex for about 10 months, and then stop it. Yeah, he won't be a happy camper.

Whoopsies. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8917370/mike-leach-lawsuit-texas-tech-red-raiders-dismissed-judge

Yeah, I would bag her.

First pass play - underthrown second pass play - stares down the WR third pass play - overthrown Hope you got a better highlight reel than that.

The correct call was made. Did you even hear the announcers ask the official in the booth and on the air? The fair catch signal was clearly made. The ND player was clearly within one yard of the receiver. The rest is moot. The only questionable call was the catch for first down. And Gholson MAY HAVE gotten it picked. Or ND MAY HAVE scored a FG. Hell, maybe ND does score a TD. Would that made the game very different? No. Stop kidding yourself. Gholson is not Johnny Football. He's not Aaron Murray, or Mettenberg, or Bray, or Tyler Wilson, or Deynard Robinson, or AJ McCarron. One score would not have greatly altered the dynamics of the game. One call at most. Bama. First 3 possessions = 3 straight TD's. What put ND in a huge hole was the inability of ND defense stopping the freight train known as the Bama running game. And this, we will agree on.

Petey was also the HC of the Jets and Pats at one time. How do people forget this little factoid every time his name comes up for the question of successful college football = successful NFL coach. I think he was referring to Jim Harbaugh, the 49ers HC who came from Stanford. Unfortunately, Jimmy spent a couple of years on the Raiders staff before heading for the collegiate ranks.

Should have left it buried.

Interesting. I'm a literalist because I take people at face at what they say, while other people can take the same quotes and pull **** out their azz as to "what it really means" (and no, I am not claiming you are doing that in this thread), when "what it really means" is "what I want it to mean". How dare I challenge such logic. To make amends, I will spend the next 3 weeks dissecting and discussing what Russ really meant when he said "is".

Are we supposed to believe Nix based on what he literally said, but we are not supposed to be believe Russ when he says Nix is the GM? If Russ is lying about that, what else is he lying about? Furthermore, did not Nix state that previous NFL HC experience was NOT going to be a requirement this time around?

I explicitly said I wasn't predicting who made the Marrone pick. I pointed out a similarity between the two choices with the implication being how can you say, with certainty, he did not?

You can list all the differences you want. Unless I missed something, prior to the current situation, Nix's entire HC selection portfolio consisted of one hire. I find it odd people can look at that present hire and state with a certainty that Nix had nothing to do with based on what? His one previous hire?

An NFL coach that became a HC at the collegiate level where he posted a rather unimpressive record in a predominately basketball conference before returning to the NFL, and HC of the Bills. Now, where have I seen this before? Not trying to predict who made the Marrone pick, but just noticing a similar pattern.
