    Saw the original at the Varsity Theater on Guadalupe my freshman year.  I have a lot of trepidation about revisiting a great movie after so many years but that trailer does make me hopeful. Fingers crossed.

    Glasscock herded roughly 50 guys into understanding where they stood with regard to NIL deals, or lack thereof, and kept them on campus. You cannot win football games with your starting 22 and zero depth. Look to ATM last year and in 2024 for examples of how that works out. Seeing a guy, however uncouth some of you deem him to be, that handled that two cycles in a row move off to another school that knows what it is doing in NIL and the portal, to a promotion no less, isn't a good thing unless you have an agenda to spin or didn't like how he ran interference on some important shit at times that protected everyone. 

    No agenda.  Obviously, he's good at some aspects of the job.   I felt the story was applicable, in light of the expected expanded role of a GM type (beyond a pencil pusher), and Sark seeming to be fine with letting him go.  The guy just came off really poorly in how he spoke about some of the players to people he didn't know.

    You guys do know that roster management has a lot more to do than just recruiting right? This is not an accident and wasn’t bad. It’s desired. Get in the mother fucker if you suck or can’t cut it. A lot of people don’t realize this is a lot more than the HS cycle. It’s the entire active player pool as well. Roster holes don’t fill themselves. 

    It’s the opposite. The earlier you can prepare someone to leave the better. 

    Yeah, I get that. Don’t disagree with you. But, I think there’s something to being being professional, especially when you’re hitting people up for millions of dollars.  If it’s supposed to be run like a business, which it’s going to be to get and sustain high dollar donations, he didn’t present well. Maybe that was a one off. Dunno. Don’t know the guy. Harris was better in my opinion, but was obviously figuring things out.

    Unless I’m misunderstanding his story, he wasn’t preparing the player and family for leaving. He was talking shit about them behind their backs to a bunch of donors in a group setting. That’s hardly high EQ.  Even talking to individual donors about each player in a private setting would be fine. 

    Correct.

    I saw Sublime with Rome this summer. I was drunk on a blanket at an outdoor venue. Rome Ramirez made some comment about the people in their 40s & 50s in the crowd. The early 20s kid setting right next to me booed. I looked at him and said, "These songs came out before you were born. Why are you here? Is there any artist from your lifetime that doesn't suck?" He had a sense of humor about things, which is good, because he could have knocked my old ass out if things got nasty. The moral of the story is this, I'll never get over the Oilers playoff collapse in Buffalo in 1993. All of the overpriced drinks at retro concerts in the world won't fix things. So, I'm alone. Always will be. I work a bit. I eat a lot of Chinese food. I listen to some podcasts. I'm just biding my time, occasionally shaving my back, waiting for the heart attack that puts me out of my misery.
