  1. I'd refine that a bit. The booster pays the player and his only payoff is winning. The owners (universities) can still benefit from the talent acquired by the boosters. If we recruited a lightning bolt media whore - a 2026 Manziel - but went 9-3, the boosters who paid him millions might be pissed, but our Athletic Department would be stoked at the higher ratings and licensed merch sales. How long that is sustainable remains to be seen. There aren't too many comparable scenarios where the person spending the money is completely disconnected with the person reaping the fruits off those investments.
  2. I said "cashing in". He is NOT a good coach and is currently riding a wave thanks to Klein and an embarrassingly easy schedule. If Klein leaves he'll be back to 7-5 or 8-4 in a good year and won't be a hot commodity. If he cashes in now, knowing he doesn't have an OC next year, and goes to PSU or UF for $10mm/yr he can get a several years and a buyout before reality sets in. That's a lot of money.
  3. This makes fat Elko cashing in and bailing damn near 100%. Klein is the only thing plugging the damn of mediocrity right now and if he leaves, Elko will be back to 7-5/8-4 for the foreseeable future. He'd be an idiot to not bail for PSU/FL/LSU before that happens.
  4. So you are saying they have a good chance against aggy?
  5. 40k was being charitable. This is a game supposedly attended by 90,000. You know you are fucking up when CBS puts down the Metamucil long enough to make fun of you on the social media machine.
  6. Oh so aggy gets carry forward credit for joining the SEC when Alabama was winning a bunch of championships 13 years ago? That seems less than relevant today. The fact is they manipulated the situation to have the easiest possible schedule this year while other teams (like us) are playing actual hard schedules.
  7. We have a better resume at 10-2 than they have at 11-1 (with us spoiling). They beat ND sure, but they are overrated this year and aggy needed some cheating to win that game. LSU won't be ranked after this weekend and aggy again benefitted by a shitload of bad and non calls. Absent that the game would have at least been close if not an LSU win. sure aggy beat MSST and Florida but (1) those games were at home; (2) the opposing teams were in a different place aggy sure as shit didn't have the balls to go on the road to OSU and only come up 1 score short. They continue to schedule powerhouses like Samford instead.....
  8. Thanks for triggering a lot of old trauma.
  9. Attention rules experts - is there a scenario where both teams can lose here?
  10. Fat Elmo to PSU keeps building up more and more mentions as the days go by. It will be interesting to see if he has a done deal and sandbags aggy the rest of the season.
  11. The SEC is getting bottom heavy and while tradition is grand and everything it doesn't pay bills when it comes time for TV contracts. If you look at the conference today for football MSST just doesn't belong (like a few, cough cough, others) and collectively they need to go. Blue Bloods: bama Georgia Texas On the Cusp/Good enough: LSU Auburn ou Tennessee Florida Necessary Evil: Miss pig SC Kentucky Doesn't belong: MSST aggy vandy Mizz
  12. She would not be happy with that 66-6 guy....
  13. I think Sark is being called out plenty this year. Whether he actions on all that calling out is the key question.
