  1. When you have the chance to live in the Gong, you have to do it.
  2. Is the fanbase happy if you basically forfeit the conference championship to a rival and they get a bye and you do not?
  3. I honestly don't know whether "shit under the hood" is a good or bad thing. It makes it sound like he's a bit of a head-case.
  4. But some conferences are doing greater than others... https://www.secsports.com/article/33821910/sec-leads-nation-16th-consecutive-year-nfl-draft
  5. That's obviously true, but what are the odds that the Pac 12 is getting two bids even with 16 teams - seems pretty low. 1 bid divided by 10 will definitely be more beneficial than 1 bid divided by 16...
  6. It remains to be seen whether the post-felony-domestic-assault-arrest Beard has the same level of success.
  7. He’s also bringing a lot more baggage to this job than he was to Texas. Heading to your alma mater to put together your dream job staff not far removed from being close to a championship is a bit different than heading to Ole Miss after being fired from your dream job for being arrested for felony domestic assault. Some of those guys may also feel somewhat personally betrayed.
  8. https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/blog/threads_and_laces/2015/11/in-wake-of-texas-mega-deal-a-new.html
  9. It looks like he'll be getting a little bit more in base pay (and 7 years).
  10. I know it is all under the larger Nike umbrella, but I'm not sure a Jordan deal would work with the Kevin Durant portions of our current Nike deal.
  11. New shit has apparently come to light...
  12. To be honest, if Eskimohorn is arraigned for felony animal abuse, I’m probably going to believe it’s true, even if the farm animals change their story after the fact.
  13. This is probably true, but that’s really the problem. The win over a 5 seed as a 4 seed is by far his biggest win in the tournament since he beat a 3 seed as a 2 seem in the sweet 16 in 2008.
  14. I mean… that’s not what the Supreme Court said. They might say that if they eventually take a case raising that issue, but they have not yet.
  15. U Penn I think.
  16. I will be interested to see how affected Beard is by his felony domestic violence arrest. I’m not as sure as others that he will just brush it off and get Ole Miss to the top tier in the next couple of years.
  17. No one is saying make the decision entirely about next year's team. It's more of a bonus. Any legitimate candidates are probably a crap-shoot, you might as well pick the one that has a good team set for year 1.
  18. Eh - I think it's more that no one cares what coaches let their players do. I think teams still care when their coaches commit violent felonies, but admittedly there is not a ton of evidence on that subject either way. My guess is that if Beard had come out after the incident with a statement like he did after the charges were dropped (i.e., apologizing for letting everyone down), he would still be coaching at Texas. Instead, his lawyer wrote a bunch of crazy letters to UT admins and he ended up getting canned.
  19. That's why he brought DJ Durkin on the staff, to control the injuries.
  20. What is the Texas bball coach hiring equivalent to Marquette post-time out? Are we going to hire Patrick Ewing now?
