  1. Dont be a disingenuous asshole. Maggie could fucking get it. She looked nothing like the Killsbury Doughboy.
  2. Well, this would be spelling, not grammar. Not that it matters, since you apparently don’t understand the difference either way.
  3. 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.
  4. Why/Why the fuck does he not have a final decision now? Aren't they fucking done?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I'm sorry, are you under the impression, despite multiple posts on the topic, that Ohio State is located in the city of Cleveland? As has been broken down in several subsequent posts from the one you've quoted, they're comparably sized cities and MSAs and at some point youre being a fucking pedant for the sake of being a fucking pedant. Sources differ. Wiki has a difference of 200k. The real answer is WhoGivesAShit.gif you fucking pedant. It's irrelevant to the initial point. But it's a destination paycheck.
  14. Listen dude, you google this shit and it's all over the place depending on the source or the year/census data being used. I'm not researching a disertation here. They're comparably sized cities, which was my point. If you want to split some hairs in the other direction, well ok. Enjoy yourself, I guess. They're both citiies of 900k or so, and they're both MSA's of slightly over 2 million.
  15. Wait, he did let him talk? FUcking why?
  16. Columbus, OH, is as big or bigger than Austin, TX, from a population perspective. It's the biggest city in the state by far and fucking dwarfs cities with pro teams like Cincinatti and Cleveland. I'm not super familiar with the kind of business and industry in Columbus, but I'm betting it's fairly decent.
  17. Auburn fucking counts. They've won a recent national title, gone undefeated again, and been fucking relevant. This is a bad fucking take. Ok. Tell me about the *real* journalists that are the ones driving the UT program into the dust from 2009 - 2022. We'll all wait. You brought it up as a major contributing factor, so lets fucking have it. Pretty easily. They've never won anything, of note, in 3 major sports, in almost 100 years. I can substitite Vanderbilt and GA Tech into that list, some of the numbers shift, but it would be almost as compelling an argument. But if I overaly Michigan State to your graph, it's pretty identical as well. Are they in your top 5? Notre Dame isn't completely independant anymore, they're partially in the ACC. And there's usually more than 2 games, dude. THey played 4 ranked teams (at the time of playing) plus Clemson this year. I don't think kids give a fuck about being independant either way if the program is wininng and competitive in big games. Me. Feel free to bring us some super substantive open coaching position news or discussion if you're so inclined. You've got some Sark scoop that isn't just manufactured clickbait bullshit, feel free to fucking share about it. Otherwise, get fucked.
  18. I would list Notre Dame's largest outstanding issue at this point to be a combination of higher academic standards, as well as a reduced ability to recruit nationally becuase they've been on a down streak. That is reversible. If you wanted to throw in a general decline in interest in organized religion for young people, I wouldn't argue. Bama's recruiting ground is fertile if you're calling it the entire southeast, including Florida. But that is a high level of competition, and it's not entirely the same as the advantage Texas has, or Florida schools, when they have programs chugging in the right direction. And if they're sharing a footprint for recruitng with schools that have greater alumni resources, like say Georgia, or say the Gators, I'm not seeing your clear cut advantage at all. I find the idea that the players have a target on their backs by cops or local journalists as being a huge detriment to a program like UT to be laughably dismissable. You think Kirk Bohls has an outized influence on why we've sucked balls the last decade? He's an irritant to superfans like us. Meanwhile, lets look at the arrest records of UT football players the last decade versus, say, College Station. WE look real good. When was the last time we showed up as a contender on the Fulmer Cup?
  19. A&M appearing in the top 10, but also being tied with 'Bama.
  20. Have they not been price constrained? Or have they been able to operate at a discount because of Saban's name and reputation of putting dudes into the pros? Texas A&M hasn't been price constraned until about 3 months ago, that's a fact. How's that working out for them?
