  1. I see Del Conte - communicative, engaging, forward-thinking, insightful, seemingly trustworthy and very candid / honest, and on and on.  And then I think back to that deceitful, duplicitous lying, sack-of-shit, lowlife snake-in-the-grass Patterson, and how different the two of them are and how the fuck we hired the latter to begin with.

    Joel Klatt is maybe the best color guy in college football and he's absolutely one of the best analysts outside of calling the games. I don't know why people here don't enjoy him. He calls it straight and calls the SEC bullshit out on the reg.

     

    Klatt is really good.  You can probably take the "maybe" out of the above.

    In '88, Barry Sanders didn't rewrite the records books, he incinerated them. He rushed for 2,850 yards, scored 44 touchdowns and broke 34 NCAA records. In the years since, offense has exploded in the college game, while the pace has quickened. And yet, most of Sanders' FBS records remain intact.

    The #s were and are insane.  Some of the stories behind that season are just as crazy.

  4. And if you've not read the report itself, some of your summary findings:

     

    Coach Meyer did not, in our view, deliberately lie. Overall, Coach Meyer impressed us with a sincere commitment to the Respect for Women core value that he espouses and tries to instill in his players.

    Alabama has a show on ESPN highlighting their players getting fed with Steak and Lobster & meeting Kobe. 

    tOSU has a coach who forgets that his assistance beat their wives.

     

    It's Saban's world and all the other coaches are just living in it.

    Bama with steak, lobster and Kobe Bryant for an hour every 4 or 5 days for a couple months?   

    Wonder what would happen if a school could get an entire channel of ESPN dedicated to it...

  6. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Dan Cooper knows Teddy Bridgewater's heart like few people do, because Cooper cut open the quarterback's leg on Sept. 8, 2016, when pro football's most stunning comeback began inside a Dallas clinic.

    Amputation was no longer a feared possibility, and yet what the surgeon faced that day was something one might see on the set of a sci-fi film.

    "It was just a horribly grotesque injury," Cooper said.

    The good doctor was talking about the quarterback's left knee, which had exploded without warning nine days earlier while Bridgewater was dropping back to pass, untouched, in a Minnesota Vikings practice.

    "It's mangled," Cooper said. "You make the skin incision, and there's nothing there. It's almost like a war wound. Everything is blown."

    Great read:

  7. Interesting.

    RIAA's platinum status was once equivalent to selling one million albums or songs, but in 2013 the company began incorporating streaming from YouTube, Spotify and other digital music services to determine certification for albums and songs.

    Now 1,500 streams of an album is equivalent to an album sale. Also, 10 song downloads  1 album sale.

  8. Blame the Statesman and some of the first candidates to be laid off w/ its pending downsize.

    John Mask, a lawyer for Kearney, and UT spokesman Gary Susswein had confirmed in June that a settlement was in the offing, but they provided no details. Mask said last year that Kearney was claiming damages approaching $4 million, including the value of a new contract that had yet to be signed.
