  1. The 73-74 PNW box set is fantastic from the presentation to the era to the sound quality.

    Nice.  One of my favorite shows.  I just received the box set over the weekend.

    Honestly, how was this not a part of the list of shit to do when they initially conceived of this farce to save Urban Meyer's job in the first place? The list should have included paying Smith off with a signed gag order, paying Courtney Smith off with the same, hiring a private investigator to dig deeply into McMurphy, and then having a sit down with him afterwards, with an offer to shut up or the info would be fed publicly through someone like Snook. That's basic corporate corruption strategy when a cover-up needs to happen. 

    Given the amateur hour appearance of this stuff, I assume there's a bigger division in the rank and file of the power regime at OSU than we believe. Mary Jo White is not an amateur. I don't know what in the fuck is going on up there, but there's more to this ineptitude than we think.

    I assume that OSU concluded that paying off Smith in connection with his termination for domestic violence would have looked worse than him making a fool of himself on twitter.

    Hiring a PI to dig for info on McMurphy is a non-starter for a public institution in the FOIA world.  Even through surrogates, the risk of leaks is too significant.

    Courtney Smith probably isn't interested in signing an NDA at this point.

    The bottom line is that Meyer, his program and much of tOSU leadership believe that Courtney Smith is at least as culpable as Zach Smith.  The entire saga is comprehensible through that lens, misguided as their conclusion may be.

  3. The Texas job is always listed as one of the top 3 jobs in the country and is usually number one.  Ohio State is considered a top-10 job and is arguably top-5. 

    The resilience of the Texas brand is stunning given that Texas has only been in the national elite for one 6 year stretch in the past 35 years (2004 - 2009).

  4. I expect United to sack Mou and hire Zidane during the first international break (September 3).  Immediately resolves the Pogba and Martial issues, improves the style of play and eliminates the negativity.  

    Mourinho is his own worst enemy and lost his leverage once France won the World Cup.
