  1. Earmark as in his contract? No. Can Loreal Sarkisian go to TexasOneFund.org and donate to just the football program herselfright now, or yesterday, and have a loose say in where that money goes? Eh......maybe. Probably better to make it anonymous or something though
  2. I really, really want DeBoer to stay at Washington. Holy shit would that be an amazing rebuff.
  3. Listen, if you've got a crystal ball that will predict the future and can say with certainty what kind of crotchety old fuck who thinks everyone in the world is interested in their stupid old anecdotes you will or won't become, that's great. When you're done, I'd like to look at some sports results from the future so I can Biff Tannen my way into an earlier retirement. Thanks in advance. P.S. no one ever thinks they're going to get old and thinks they won't act stupid and embarassing and talk ceaselessly about their own "in my day" shit, but inevitably, most people end up that kind of old fuck.
  4. This is an interesting post. It's a post that is framed in the typical style of someone reporting actual news, or something breaking currently. But in this instance, you've just pasted a few words with no context whatsoever, no background, and hard to interpret considering Jim Harbaugh is still the coach at Michigan and Norvell is interviewing with 'Bama. So are you calling your shot here, or what?
  5. What we really need is MSB or someone to find a fan poll that has Sark as the top choice and display it for these atavistic waterheads.
  6. Dont they? I guess all those hirings up the ladder and into the NFL dont count as "history of success teaching and motivating." Guess you think they were all Peter Principled?
  7. I agree, Quinnipiac isn't some jackleg partisan operation. That being said, those numbers, and without looking at their methodology and the numbers involved, just seems like they fucking got an odd bounce of answers and returns. I'm going to a party for a friend this weekend who's wife just graduated law school through covid and while raising their 3 boys, and it's quite an accomplishment. I joked with him, since he's very Republican, that I'm surprised he invited me since most of the guest list will be his Katy neighbors, aggies and the expected ilk. He said "I trust you have the social grace to handle that dynamic, and besides, you can just talk to my mom and brother exclusviely and talk them down from the ledge about biden's polling numbers." My response was "First, no one has ever accused me of or made the fatal mistake of assuming I have social grace of any kind, and you shouldn't be the first. Second, that's easy, polls are unreliable dogshit that mean nothing. Tell me how that red wave went in 2024." /csb
  8. On it's surface, I'm not interested in anyone from Tech's staff on general fucking principle.
  9. Dont be a disingenuous asshole. Maggie could fucking get it. She looked nothing like the Killsbury Doughboy.
  10. Well, this would be spelling, not grammar. Not that it matters, since you apparently don’t understand the difference either way.
  11. Yup. I had Tex for two or three years and 98 was my freshman year. So let’s not ignore the entirety of Gen X either, although that is typically what society does.
  12. Why/Why the fuck does he not have a final decision now? Aren't they fucking done?
  13. Imaginet thinking someone looking for discussion on our coaching vacancy WASN'T going to first go to the Football board, where this is a Nick Saban thread, and a Bo Davis thread. And then imagine someone going to the football board, seeing their stupid bullshit, and wanting to sign up to be a member of this site.
  14. Ok. Then break down why it's better, Mr. "They're all hot in their own way" before turning around and going from subjective to definitive.
  15. I doubt whether you would know that St. Cassian of Imola was stabbed to death by his students with their styli. I love how you're posting a tweet from an account with a whopping 7k followers like it's news.
  16. I guess you forgot that the portal just opened for all of Alabama's players, and it's almost certain it's about to open at another medium or big time school once Alabama fills its vacancy.
  17. Sure, but broadening the "prestige to other media markets" wasn't what we were talking about. We were talking about cities most attractive to major colleges for NIL purposes. Those other media markets have plenty of other opportunities for local business endorsement. It's why Austin is attractive. A UT player sponsoring something is more attractive in Austin than it is in Houston or Dallas, for all the obvious reasons. You're actually proving my point.
  18. When I pulled it up, I didn't look at the overall MSA's for Cleveland, Pitt, etc, just the population of the city proper. I know a lot of shit about cities and MSA's, but I'm not a fucking encyclopedia. But the MSA isn't 3.7 million. The MSA is 2.1. The Combined Statistical Area (CSA) is 3.7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Cleveland The fucking point is, any dipshit saying that Columbus isn't an attractive MSA to host a major college football program, or someone attempting to portray Columbus as some tiny hamlet compared to the other "major" cities in Ohio doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.
  19. I have to ask, why do you think a city of a million people with a college, is sending most of their gradutes, not to Columbus, but to cities with populations of 350k, 300k, 900k and 300k, respectively. Why are "Presumably" most of those grads going to either much, much smaller cities or to a comparably sized city in another state? And you think a city with a metropolictan area of over 2 million people is going to struggle to absorb 11k people anually...why, exactly? And no shit LA and Austin and to a degree Athens (atlanta) have advantages. But the origin of this post, which I'm guessing you don't remember, was another poster suggesting Ohio State falls below MICHIGAN and other schools becuase Columbus as a location was a demerit, as opposed to a positive. I'd argue Columbus is possibly the third most attractice location for a major university after Austin and LA. LA has major sports franchises and is full of transplants from all over the country splitting attention. Columbus and Austin, not so much.
  20. You know after reading Rimbo's last post, I'm enjoying having set this thread on fire and not resorting to stupid food puns. Pray to me, you deluded fools, you “anyone for tennis?” golf-playing, cocktail-quaffing pseudo-pedants, for you do indeed need a heavenly patron.
