    I was there. Pretty sure the stadium screen said 59 yards total offense.

    Why you gotta be so negative?

    I'm guessing someone took 5 yards off our one and only scoring drive, namely the all-too-frequent false-start/delay penalties we got on the first play of a new possession. We had run back a kick to the Arkie 44, got penalized 5 yards first snap, so that the real first snap was from the 49, and our one and only scoring drive covered 49 yards. The whole rest of the game we made ten yards. Ten. Fucking. Yards.

    One thing that is really interesting in all of this is his buyout. Lsu owed him $12. 9 million when they canned him and he settled for $1.5. I guess we know the reason why now. 

    Waitaminnit, who we talkin' about, here? I thought you said "Miles", but now it sounds more like "Briles" - which is it?

    I mean, if they called down to LSU and asked about his conduct while there and no one there told them.....just gave him great references....

    The AD clime have honestly said “Les never was subject to official discipline” and is eligible for rehire. Cause it seems as if all this stuff was off the books. their 

    Clime? Ooookay.  

    So, the appropriate position is that KU did their due, but LSU lied to them, so it's alright to terminate Les without paying off? Why would LSU lie to KU? Is the lie an exchange for Les "accepting"  $1.5meg instead of $9meg? 'Cause I could see that, if it were at the same time the job in Lawrence was in the works.

    I wouldn’t jump to that yet. I would be unsurprised if part of the deal when Les left LSU was that unofficially, this stuff stayed buried.  If he leaves and you start telling people that he was a creep who was barred from interacting with college students, then the question becomes “why didn’t you fire him for cause or officially discipline him?”

    Remember, this was blown open because of Guice and the stuff with Jade Lewis. That happened after Miles was gone and LSU had to let investigators sniff around the whole school. 

    Yes, but does that excuse KU from doing the due?

  5. It seems more like the dipshit Admin at KU failed to do their due diligence when the hired Les. It's not like the data weren't there, they just didn't duly diligize.

    If I were Les, I'd be looking for some lawyers to sue KU over this, unless there's verbiage in the contract that allows firing for cause based on pre-employment behavior that was not hidden. I'm not following this closely, but unless Miles has been doing the same sort of stuff... there may be a play there, but I don't know. Where the employment contract lawyers at?

     Just between us, I heard once that Casey Thomas is from OK.

    ... and his Dad played some at 0U, even got his pic on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    But neither he nor his Dad ever got beat up by a group of midget wrestlers in the bathroom of a bar. Or so they, say.

  7. The guy seems, quite obviously, broken. If, as seems to be consensus, he cannot be fixed, the only point of imprisonment in this case must be punishment. Yelling "Bad Dog" while whacking him over the head with a rolled-up copy of "Best of Kurt Bowls" probably won't do a lot of good... so what do we do? I dunno, maybe some Clockwork Orange therapy, combined with a Chemical Lobotomy? 

    Oh, and someone with a malfunctioning meter fell into The Sarchasm, but that's Life.

    Considering which, has anyone heard from South Austin's mom  recently?

    The majority of our tax dollars go to the profit margins of the contractor companies we pay to run our prisons. Something like .12 goes to the actual keep of the prisoners. He will not receive help and will definitely be a danger while he is in and when he gets out. 

    Thirty-nine megabucks, though... we should charge him room and board. Fed CDL of my acquaintance says prisons take half of any deposit over $50 to prisoners' commissary account, so that's a start...

    Clearly, this guy is an actual nutcase, i.e. needs help. But he won't get it.

    Someone calling you a sociopath and derailing a recruiting thread with a debate about ethical dilemma of strategic bombing campaigns, over final episode of Game of Thrones.

    Be fair, the world was a better place when we had freshly minted fantasies of Cersei, Sansa, and Roz... and, I'll admit it, Brienne, too.

  10. So gruntled that we have a society that thinks the best thing to do is to spend three-quarters of a million dollars keeping this dipshit clothed and fed for fourteen years. I don't recall the last change, so not certain if we're going to correct him or punish him. Both at the same time, maybe?

  11. Looks like plenty of blame to go around. The cars that got hit were parked/stopped on an entrance ramp, the first one having run out of gas, according to the linked story. That driver called a family member for help. The family member arrived, parked in front of, instead of behind, the first one. The helpful family member also brought the two children. Whether either of these two cars had hazard lights on is not stated.  Whether the helpful one brought gasoline or not is also not stated. The description of the accident is somewhat strange, since it says that Reid's Ram hit the first car in the left front and the second one in the right rear.

    The entire article seems heavily slanted toward making Reid the only bad guy here, but the idiot who ran out of gas on the entrance ramp must bear some  of the blame, and the helpful family member who brought the two kiddies should, as well.

    Bad deal, all the way around, but it doesn't seem, so far, that Britt Reid is the only one at fault. Yes, it appears that he's a massive fuckup, but he didn't cause the first idiot to run out of gas, and he didn't cause the second one to park in the wrong place or to bring kiddies. Trial lawyer friend said that, while he isn't familiar with Missouri or Kansas (whichever it was in), he thinks that his home state of CA will fine the shit out of you for running out of gas on a freeway. Let's see what the blood tests indicate.
