  1. Saw them in '07 at the Congress Theater in Chicago with a good friend who passed away two years later. Shane was a drunken mumbling marble-mouthed mess. But he nailed the vocals. It was fucking awesome. I'm so goddamn happy I got to see them live, and will always cherish that memory. Listened to all of Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash and If I Should Fall From Grace of God yesterday. RIP to an absolute legend.

    Steve Earle is absolutely bonkers coked up in that interview. Hilarious.

    Everyone thought our DL was gonna suck this year and it was the strength of the team. I ain't worried about DL unless Bo Davis gets in the motherfucker

    Valid points. I don't feel that DL will be a team weakness next year because of Bo Davis. But I also think it's fair to be somewhat concerned that we will have difficulty replacing the production of the guys that are leaving. Perhaps we'll be surprised two years in a row. But hope isn't a strategy.

    WTH? Is this a bit or what?  If legit, please post some background and details  as I've never heard this before.

    That is not a topic we want to revisit at all and we should all neg Vertigo for even trying to open that stupid fucking cloak room can of worms. 

    Edit: Talking about the activism part. The plane thing was about Tom and Michelle getting hammered on a private jet and fighting with each other and her trying to open an emergency exit mid-flight. Allegedly.

    And here we are a short time later, 9-1, in the playoff picture, another solid recruiting class and they're looking for a new coach and paying off a fully guaranteed 100 mil contract. 

    They're only looking for one new coach. The head coach. All the other coaches are staying because the only thing wrong was the head coach.

    IF Elko turns them down they are in a world of hurt. there is no reason for that guy to say no and his success will depend on his offensive hires - he is a very, very good DC and i can't wait to hear the gnashing of teeth in college station when he brings Santucci back with him

    Elko's not turning them down. If you believe that scoundrel @closetojumping he's actively lobbying for the job. He just gave a non-denial denial re: his interest in the position. 

    That being said, if they fire Jimbo and end up with fucking Elko, I will laugh heartily. 

    I'm still rooting for Dabo so we get to ride this rollercoaster again. It's a really fun ride.

  6. This is inherently the problem with hiring these type of coaches. 
    When Florida hired Napier the argument that everyone was screaming from the roof top was "the lack of quality wins at ULL is because it's fucking ULL." You're only reiterating why these type of hires are huge risks. 

    I don’t disagree. I just don’t think you can call it a red flag.

    I would not be surprised to see a Sark type hire - either an OC/DC who has previous HC experience who is available for 5-6 million per, or a younger G5 coach who would be looking for that P5 promotion. 

    I think you can basically eliminate almost all of the current P5 coaches as candidates (other than maybe Elko).

    While I don't think the next hire is going to be able to demand the same stupid contract they gave Jimbo, I don't see any scenario where someone takes the job for less than what they're paying their former coach annually. The floor is the $7+ million they're paying Jimbo to fuck off. You can't still be paying the old guy you fired more than you're paying the new guy.

  8. I guess they can always come up with the money, but having to pay Fisher for the next eight years means they better get it right with the next guy. Because if they fire the next guy after 4 years, and will likely have to buy the next guy out, they’ll be paying three head coaches at once for a year or four.

  9. What was with the timing? You fire him after a 51-10 win? Wtf? Are they trying to fuck with players' 30-day transfer window?

    I think they wanted to make it official before the unlikely scenario of an LSU upset, which would have been even more awkward. If you know you want to fire the guy, get it over with.
