Sadly you are correct. That is some fucked up shit.
-
What I am struggling to get my arms around is that these are supposed to be people who have the benefit of a classical education. How can those that are by any metric intelligent, do so many unintelligent things? My guess is that gold is a powerful mother fucker. How did this group, along with the administrations of any number of institutions that have made the news for all the wrong reasons over the last few years manage to land their jobs in the first place? The level of incompetence is difficult to measure. All of them however have shown the exact same characteristics. They have no problem telling a lie, cheating, or covering something up. Whatever means necessary to hide their mistakes/crimes. This is what is shaping the young minds at these schools? Man, the only thing I can see is what one should do, or not do, if you get caught. And if your status is high enough in the club we will run cover for you. Even if we have to allow the president to look like a buffoon.

We have already beat this to death. It ain’t a problem, until it’s a problem. Mike Price showed us why going to the club didn’t fuck him. It was when the stripper stole his wallet and university credit card......and then bought $2000 worth of shit with it that fucked him. Same shit with Herman. So fucking what, he likes titties? He isn’t the one with the “I like to go Mike Tyson on the old lady” problem. That belongs entirely to Smith. Those types of salacious headlines are only applicable when the shit hits the fan. And even then, it is only because it makes a lazy journalist have something to start their story with. Being at the club in of itself is a non story, unless the bosses/contract specifically told you not to go into such establishments. Fuck Bucknutz, they are bleeding and can’t stand that everyone sees their true colors. And it kills them to admit they are the Dirty low down pieces of shit they are. What they should be concerned with is that our guy was smart enough to get the fuck out of that shithole.

I haven’t seen this yet, but if true. What you are seeing is a young man who just realized that he made a huge mistake trusting the organization. That doing things like that dumb ass ESPN piece, only served to help OSU and Urb, not him. The time to deal was before the report was made public, forcing the grand inquisition to change the language if he spoke out. Regardless of his indiscretions his message would have been gobbled up by the media coming from a remorseful Smith. He could have then laid bare any and all tawdry details that we all love to hear about any one but ourselves. Now it just appears as simple blackmail. The dumb kid thought the university, as well as Urb would take care of him. And at the very least find him a landing spot. It probably just dawned on him when he tried to call around and realized his number was blocked. And no one will take his calls.
-
That is a fair response. There very well may be enough diversity in companies that are still willing to take a risk by allowing an employee to visit such a club while on company business. And are also willing to deal with any blow back should an incident occur while their employee was there. Including any embarrassing press that could impact conservative boosters. A good example that applies in this case is of course Mike Price. He spent, what, one day as Alabama’s head coach before a dancer lifted his wallet and university credit card? Had that not happened Alabama was on the hook for 13.5 million. But they used his visiting the club as the cause for dismissal. And he was the victim of a crime! The university wrote ambiguity into his conduct clause. And though it didn’t specifically spell out clubbing or exotic dancer, it gave them leverage over any claim to guaranteed money the university was liable for. That said it is hard to believe any organization would allow such a situation unless they were confident that neither public opinion or any authority over the company simply doesn’t mind if an incident occurs. Just my take on the optics of this case with how the situation with Smith played out. Because I’m sure you noticed that it took all of three minutes for the media to jump all over him being at the club.

What level of management were/are you in? I don’t wish to disparage you so please don’t take my comment personally. But my experience is with a company that I was employed with for over 40 years. And with a law department of over 30 attorneys. I can assure you going into a strip club was a huge problem. And every year that law department required All managers to sign a Code of Conduct contract. Every fucking year!
-
Unfortunately yes, it ain’t the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s or 00’s anymore. Almost every company considers those that are traveling while on company business to be “on the clock” while on the road. That they represent their organization the entire time. So yes, behavior such as blowing on G-strings while doing shots of Pappy is verboten. I’m sure there are exceptions, but most employee handbooks spell this out very clearly. A direct result of the Information Age, and law departments that have found themselves embarrassed and liable for an employe’s behavior while on the clock.
-
Hell, I had no feelings one way or the other on OSU. Other then the road trip up there years ago where that Neolithic fan base demonstrated that they were not familiar with modern plumbing. And English was their second language. Im upset that I believed that I was absolutely correct in thinking that the SEC was by far the dirtiest in the room, and now I have to reconsider. The Big10 with it’s a rapin’ and a plundering makes the SEC buying players like commodities look pretty fucking good. How does an institution of higher learning that enjoys millions of government funding allow this behavior? The members of the BOT that were shown entering the meeting room, and I apologize for making assumptions. Looked to me as if they had not a single worry in the world. Their expressions were that of a carefree bunch headed out on vacation. A nice diverse group that proves that wealth, real wealth can corrupt ANY man or woman, of any race or background. And that is a fucking shame. Not a single dissenting voice amongst them.....only show me my money. They could not give one fuck for any of those “small people” caught up in this.

Kyler Murray - The Savior or Satan of OU Football
Hamttx replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I don’t know about savior, but aggy is not exactly the place to look for player development. Sumlin had no idea what he was doing. He beat the teams he beat by simply having better players. Totally wiffed on the greatest aggy of all time by not even winning their division. So what this kid did while enrolled there really doesn’t mean much. He is now in year two of a system that has shown it can work if everyone does their job. Though I struggle with his ability to make the same throws that Mayfield did. I see him as a grab the snap, take a quick look, and run like hell kind of guy. Combine that with OU’s traditional sieve defense, and I don’t see them winning any of their tougher games, including us. -
It’s times like this I fall into the fantasy world where some unheard of university president comes out and refuses to play a game until they remove the offender. i know, I know it would never happen, good old boys and such. It is just something I do when I witness a complete lack of justice motivated entirely by the love of gold. The deleting of text messages on a company phone is more then cause. And should have been a solid footing to refuse the payout. Destroying possible evidence that could impact not only this event, but some other future event should not be tolerated. Is there not a single decent person in that state that is willing to say NO? I don’t wish harm on anyone, not even for this. But man, we as a society have lost our bearing and sailed far, far off course. I miss the ridiculous days of the Switzer types. Who cheat their asses off with stuff like fucking coaches wife’s, and buying players. You know, Burt Reynolds types of infractions that both parties agreed to participate in. Where personal harm or injury were not part of the equation. These days of rape, murder, brutality, and destroying people’s lives should be stopped by the very institutions that these events are taking place at no matter the drop in the polls. Yet that is not what I see. I see a group of very wealthy and influential people. Comprised of black, white, male and female all in concert attempting to spin these events as single occurrences. All while totally ignoring the victims of these actions. Urb’s entire statement never once addressed the victim. Instead purposely allowing ambiguity, when he personally knew this woman for many years. He had talked with her many times, and she was a friend of his own wife. That by anyone’s definition is a piece of trash, and needs to be taken out to the dump. Fuck the damn game, this should not be allowed in a civilized society.
-
Herbie is the classic definition of a toadie. And let’s be honest, it has served he and his family well. However he will under no circumstance construct an individual thought without “running it through the big guy” first. But the good looks, smile, keen wit, etc. Is just window dressing. Get His ass away from the cameras and reporters and he becomes the same type of individual. Not to mention his greatest accomplishment which was sitting on the GameDay set for years eating SEC cock when we all knew exactly how he truly felt.
-
There is a reason you don’t know much about them Vic, truth is no one does. They are irrelevant in all things except baseball. And even with that most still debate whether they should change the fucking channel during the college World Series when they get there for some Gilligan’s Island reruns.
-
Urb is a fucking piece of shit. Look I get it, he can coach football. He may even possess some redeeming qualities that I know nothing about. However, when you consult a staff member for instructions on how to delete text messages on your company phone. An action in of itself is that is incriminating. And depending on the language in his contract could be construed as failure to adhere to his personal conduct clause. And is an obvious attempt at a cover up. Failure to disclose to your boss that you not only have a current employee undergoing treatment. But, is also receiving outpatient care from a source outside the university’s umbrella and oversight. A supposed condition that may or may not have been diagnosed by a real doctor that involves memory loss that he takes medication for. That based on what we know apparently never appears to impact him while on the football field coaching his team. And where the fuck is the NCAA? Guys who have sold their own shit have received far harsher punishments then this asshole got for enabling a culture of abuse, lying, and cover up.
-
Grier is going into protect thy draft status mode. With the crop of QB’s slated to come out he stands a good chance of going High come draft time. So he really doesn’t have to do anything great, just don’t do anything stupid. Most importantly don’t get hurt. If he lines up and sees the possibility of getting hammered by a quality defensive front he will think far more of himself then of the team. Expect quicker less accurate throws, leaving the pocket early, signs of a guy playing cautiously.
-
I could be wrong, but I believe Saban has better control of his business. He is still a snake oil guy, just not in the same way as Urb. Saban will cut loose a guy that is cancerous believing he can find someone else just as good. But I could be full of shit too.
-
Not sure that would do it. Winning championships is big medicine. That fan base could give a rats ass if Urb himself raped Smiths wife, just bring home a title and beat UM’s ass. Regardless how any of us feel about it a winning football program is simply worth to much money to let something as trivial as ethics enter into the conversation. And why not a single person of authority in the state of Ohio has bothered to voice even a snippet of dissent regarding not only Urb, but all the other abuse issues currently surrounding Ohio State.
-
I have always been in the camp of playing those dumb fucks. We pretty much have their number. So we have never had to go to long without payback (FEd-Ex years excluded). And yes I have heard all of the arguments about fuck them they left. But, to me beating their ass was never really an issue. It took a tragedy, and a benevolent Texas head coach for aggy to even sneak a win. Not to mention they, both the school and the fan base, chose to act like a pack of dicks when Texas extended an olive branch during a difficult time. I hate to admit it, but watching that group wonder around mumbling like they have rocks in their mouths after losing to Texas is a shit load of enjoyment for me.
-
Ha, ha, after Georgia’s loss, guess the first thing that hit the local sports talk shows this morning? Hawaii’s birth certificates. Wondering out loud how old is the kid who hit the HR.
-
Phil trying to get those * off off of his majors that Tiger didn’t play in. Lumpy may have a round or two left in him. But stretch him out and he will break down. The auto-immune disease he is forced to deal with is now a much bigger factor (anchor) then it was just 2 or 3 years ago. The impact it has on ones stamina is impossible to overcome.
-
No offense but you’re wrong. I am one of those that think hitting it long is by far the easiest way to score at Augusta because of the simple reason it allows you to hit a lofted club into the holes that typically sink players. I would gladly go holeby hole, but no one wants to read that. Most players get in trouble there because though they hit the green, they hit the wrong fucking side because they were forced to hit their approach with a mid to long iron. Anything other that a true golf shot very well may land on the green, but so fucking what. Undulations that can be measured in feet, and are super fast, with breaks measured in double digit break make most look silly. You must hit the correct location of the green! In full disclosure I have played the National well over +50 Times going back to 1975. From the days I carried a 3 to my current 12 handicap. Many times shortly after the tournament. And though the greens had settled down from the tournament setup running +12 on the stimpmeter, they still ran quick as fuck. Evening going back to the early days before the sub-air, Tift 31, and immaculate grooming. Length off of the tee is so fucking important for two simple reasons. But hell, don’t take my word for it. Pull up every scoring record since its inception and look at what the player who set a scoring record scored on the par fives. Tigers record shows the most discrepancy. He wasn’t much off of par on the 4’s, but he obliterated the 5’s. While he was putting for eagles the rest of the field were settling for a birdie. And why he lapped the field, averaging 341 yards off the tee. However the most obvious advantage today’s longer hitter gets to enjoy (besides the putting for eagles on the 5’s.) is the competitor that can keep his +340 drive where they mow on a 500 yard par 4 has given themselves the huge advantage of hitting a 9 or wedge into the par 4’s (like Brooks was doing at the PGA). Offsetting the courses primary defense design that Jones and McCalister built into it. They knew that very few (if any in any era up until the wound and or Balatta ball) could hit the correct tier and quadrant with a long iron back in those days (it is still fucking hard to do). But with the 45” shaft driver, the solid core ball, and the more athletic player hitting the +320 drives naybe has not neutralized this once solid defensive measure. But brought much more of the field into play. The National’s secondary defense rests on a player being able to hit both a left to right AND a right to left shaped shot. But Brooks just won a major that didn’t have a SINGLE dog leg right. He was so solid he shaped his preferred shot shape perfectly on almost every dog leg left. An impressive display of skill. And I will give you the very hole that this can easily be a two shot swing almost every time if you can’t hit a draw....10. If you have been there...and walked that hilly bastard you know that if you hit the draw, just an average carry of 260, you will have no more then a 5 maybe 6 iron in your hand for your second because of the extreme lay of the land. And that’s ME! And I’m 60 years old! But hit a fade? And your ass is looking at 3 or some type of utility club. And you better catch that bitch on the screws, off of an unlevel lie, to a green that is ass fast, undulating and enticing you to miss left.....which if you do your fucked. But, I made my original prediction pages back based on Brooks ability to duplicate his driving performance during the PGA. If he doesn’t he will see why Trevino hated the fucking place. And full disclosure I have played the place with Trevino. His fued with the man I will not write about in this Forum because it is against protocol was a shame. I really believe if he would have played those years he very well may have won at least one Masters when you compare him to the eventual winners of that period. So you don’t have to agree with me, as it is just my opinion based on how I see the layout. But it is based on my own experience playing the course as a golfer. Not some fucking observer.

This shit is going to blow up in their faces. The NCAA and its outdated policies and draconian methods of punishing only those that don’t stop the flow of money has reached the end. Allowing a professional into the conversation of the traditional school, player relationship has re-started the process of when does the player become not just a student, but an employee? And do labor laws come into play that protect the player? What about salary, commissions or contracts that could possibly drag the NCAA into court if and when there is a breach by any party? The NCAA should have been torn down years ago. Under their watch they have ruined football. And would have already have killed basketball, but March Madness saved their asses.

One thing I know for sure. The powers that be are going to be burning the midnight oil at the National for the next several months fearing what Brooks may possibly be capable of doing next April. If he averages off the tee what he did during the PGA he will chipping into 6 of the 14 holes after his drive. And will have nothing larger than a fucking 8 iron into all of the par fives. Woods averaged 341 when he won in 1996 and destroyed the course. And strangely the bigger Woods got, the shorter he became off the tee. 310 yards in 1997, and 280 in 2001. So the club felt as if they had “Tigger proofed” the tract enough to protect the courses 90 year history. When in reality Woods simply wasn’t hitting it as long. Now we have a bonafide big hitter in Brooks who can hit it where they mow, with three majors on his resume that is in that rare air of averaging +330. AND is pretty damn accurate. Not to mention he has great touch with his wedges, and putts damn good. No one else in the field sans Dustin Johnson (who has a million dollar power swing, but a 10 cent head) can equal Brook’s combination of power and touch. So I am very much looking forward to the next Masters. And don’t be surprised if we don’t hear a story come out of the blue how Augusta plans some necessary changes. They have already purchased the tract adjacent to Augusta Country Club which would allow them to extend 13 if they so desired. But damn the history that would become irrelevant. Number 8 is stuck in between two holes that would have to be completely reconfigured to accomplish. Can’t do shit to 2 unless they cut it across what was Berckman road. It is going to be a very exciting 2019.

Amanda Bolionas. Diversity followed by tight tops and dumb ass questions. Her best line “what were you trying to accomplish today”? I would absolutely love someone to say “play a little golf and get laid”.
-
It has been my experience that most of the time a real badass is the man who is able to communicate without talking that he is in fact the more willing, able and ready individual in the disagreement. Size or shape never really had much to do with it. Especially with a lot of gym rats. They believe that their big biceps and ability to bench 300 is intimidating to a smaller man. When in reality that guy who weighs in at 175 and looks like a fucking accountant is more then willing to stab his ass is by far the most dangerous of the two. And for the record Brody played a Merc, and they mist definitely come in many different packages.
-
Not just that, I knew a shit load of Sargents as a military dependent that coached our baseball and football teams, acted as our father figures while our fathers were deployed, etc. Guys who had zero athletic ability, but were damn good at doing Army shit, and knew how to do their part to keep an army in the field. Paul was a fucking perfect fit for that role.
