  1. All caveats aside about the legitimacy of the NCAA and their crack enforcement team, don't the rules about grad transfers state that a graduate transfer has to have "graduated" from his previous school (i.e. no "1 class remaining" Leinart type shit) and that he be transferring for "Graduate school", specifically a program not offered at his previous school? I guess maybe LSU offers a very long-term graduate program in online studies with a course requirement of 1 class a semester. Are there not also rules about scholarship athletes at least having to be "full-time" students? I thought I remembered something about my student loans or scholarship stuff stating that I had to be a full-time student (meaning something like 12 credit hours/semester) to qualify. I suppose that if a school didn't give a shit about keeping a player in their last year eligible then anything goes, as long as they don't mind the hit to their APR.
  2. Yeah, Ray Stevenson could be good. What about Dave Bautista or Jon Bernthal?
  3. Why not both?
  4. I thought the issue was with Moorhead.
  5. Don't you get the ball on the 25 like a touchback if you fair catch anywhere inside the 25 on a kickoff? That seems better than running it out of the end zone and starting on the 14. The worst thing would be to signal a fair catch on a kickoff and then drop it. Thank goodness our coaching staff would never tolerate such a mistake.
  6. It's like our own version of the annual Aggie rollercoaster, except instead of the peak being "we're going to win a national championship", it's Graham Fucking Harrell. and a hearty fuck you to Herman and the 9.95ers for making me have that thought
  7. Yeah it must be cheaper to hire a coach who made a shitload of money as an mlb player, he doesn’t need the money
  8. Who can remember link addresses exactly, just look it up on altavista
  9. you do know that Leroy is a dog, right? I mean it's right there in his twitter picture.
  10. So funny I pissed myself
  11. Figured either it was sarcasm or you had lost your last marble, wouldn’t be surprising after watching this season (these last however many seasons)
  12. so your whole deal in this thread seems to be all "let's get introspective, break things down and analyze what's gone wrong and how we can fix it in a realistic way." and then your conclusion is "let's go hire a young rising star of an NFL coach away from one of the most storied franchises in the league, the day after they absolutely destroyed another of the leagues most storied franchises on national TV to move to 10-1 on the season, a season which is looking increasingly likely to end in the super bowl" One thing's for sure, you're certainly right about some of us going full aggy.
  13. so does that mean you're going to be giving the press conference instead of coach Herman?
  14. Oh no, we suck again
  15. Hey man, people didn't like the MBTF stat diarrhea press conferences, make up your mind
  16. except that 17 & 18 year olds that have never lived away from home don't have any experience or life skills for dealing with a sudden influx of $100k. You can say all you want about how their parents should have taught them better or prepared them better for "real life", but I'd be willing to bet that plenty of people on surly or anywhere else would willingly admit that they would have fucked themselves up pretty good if someone had said come up to them their first day of college and said "here's $100k, have fun". My point is not that the players should not have any responsibility, it's that the organizations, coaches, etc. that all go on and on about "molding young men" and "educating people that wouldn't normally be able to go to college" and the purity of student athletics shouldn't just say "hey guys, you're adults, figure all this shit out on your own, this is not our problem."
  17. Fuck the NCAA, allowing kids to make money based off of their talents/likeness whatever is the right call, but the NCAA is so institutionally stupid and clumsy that there is just no way this won’t be a complete and total clusterfuck. man, some kids are gonna get fucked over, probably in ways that can’t be foreseen yet, but an obvious one is some kid signs with a school for 50-100k, acts like the kid he is and spends it all, doesn’t do well on the field, no money after that initial payment, but now the taxes are due and he spent it all thinking he was gonna be paid in college until he went in the first round of the draft. I mean, if you think about NFL busts who end up broke and with a shitty life, it’s gonna be worse for lots of college washouts. Just as many friends/relatives with their hands out, less money, and a much higher bust chance. If they really wanted to do right by these kids, they would need to be very careful in writing the rules here and making sure schools or some other centralized entity takes some responsibility to help manage things- set aside money in escrow for taxes, etc. I’m sure schools will find ways to monetize this too, “sign with us and you’ll get access to a marketing department and financial guidance, for just 20% of your earnings”
  18. This is worse than the ending of game of thrones
  19. Well, bye Cole. fun while it lasted
  20. And now for the sweet release of death
