  1. I feel the same about Lane.
  2. My father, were he still alive, would have likely said "Son, I love you, but I think best if you don't bring me up in public. Ever again, un" (To get the full joy from this message as I got from typing it, imagine it coming from a man with a heavy Italian accent.)
  3. I know we've talked about it before, but as someone with family in Canyon I have to grin and make a comment about it when it comes up. Small world and all.
  4. Oh we're in full agreement. Honestly, if the company I was working for didn't expect me to hang and socialize I'd often bail too. Even though I go to networking events as a part of my career, I dont love them. So, I'd be pretty hypocritical if I expected speakers to want to hang after. That's the very reason Lou Holtz really stood out. He enjoyed engaging with people, answering and asking questions. Genuinely getting to know people in a friendly way. It was cool and unique. (Confession- He even had nice things to say about Texas and Mack Brown but I'm not repeating them for fear of negbalivion. )
  5. Yeah, that a much more apt description. Some air of underlying control issues too, but that all tracks logically for an HC, football or otherwise.
  6. I've met quite a few football HCs from corporate speaking engagements at national corporate events and other similar shit. Honestly, most of them had a strong air of true asshole. There was one who hung around WAY after his "allotted time" chatting with various groups of people for hours. It was Lou Holtz as much as I don't want to admit it. So.. being a dick seems like a prerequisite for the gig. He and Dick Butkus were the nicest NFL folks I personally ever met. I am ashamed I didn't include Earl Campbell in the group of nicest people I've met from NFL/coaches group of people. He's right up there with with Dick and Lou. Plenty of other kind humans but those 3 stick out as really kind people persons. Ricky was super nice just didn't love chatting with strangers, but there's a good reason for it. /thread derail
  7. Hmmm, I didn't find him particularly compelling nor ill suited for the roll. He didn't stand out to me so can't say I agree with that take. I mean the character was written as a bit of a scum bag with very questionable motives so while it wasn't pure evil, it wasn't that much of a departure from that role either. So.. my take is some people likely have a hard time making that distinction crossed with he wasn't outstanding either.
  8. Will getting it wet void the warranty?
  9. Apparently Putin is unfamiliar with the failures of Germany during the Russian invasion during WW II which seems.. curious.
  10. Some might say it would cripple the program or end it all together.
  11. Quit stealing my takes and making them your own!! (Also you forgot SOS) Mosley would get in the rotation.
  12. Like I said, lots of shitty coaches still getting jobs.
  13. And all of those teams have a good to great OL with a good to great RB then look at SOS of the teams vs Texas.
  14. And while Farve was a shitty human, it's not like he was a shitty QB with his Super Bowl ring, multiple MVPs and NFL records.
  15. This is no defense of Coach Rape Enabler, but the number of truly shitty, morally bankrupt coaches in college and the NFL is amazing. Jeff out front should've told you.
