  1. Elliott out tomorrow for disciplinary reasons. Not that he would make a difference. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42152540/source-cowboys-rb-elliott-due-disciplinary-reasons ATLANTA -- Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will not play Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons because of disciplinary reasons, a source told ESPN on Saturday. Elliott was originally slated to be active for the game. He did not accompany the team on the charter flight Saturday. Elliott's agent, Rocky Arceneaux, could not be reached for comment.
  2. Geez - that sure looked like textbook targeting by Auburn on the Vandy TD.
  3. Good! Hugh Freeze and DJ Durkin on the staff...
  4. Great car. Does it also come with knee high tube socks, jorts, and a Corvette hat?
  5. I saw them losing 2 of Colts, Bills, Packers, Colts through this point. They won both Colts games, beat the Bills, lost to Minn and lost to Packers. 6-2 is about right. No one thought Minn would be as competitive. I see them as 1-2 against Lions, Chiefs, and Ravens and maybe 4-2 or 5-1 against the rest of their schedule. Let's call it 11-6 or 12-5
  6. J - E - T - S. Jets, Jets, Jets. Woody Johnson letting the inmates run the asylum. Good.
  7. Well, of course. The question I addressed was "what happens if 4 teams are 7-1 in conference play?" It was not, "what do I think is going to happen?" I should have quoted the specific post.
  8. Those are the final SEC conference W/L. Given the above scenario, LSU can finish 7-1 in SEC. Loss to USC does not affect conference ranking.
  9. EDIT: should have quoted @UTexasFight post from above, where he was curious about the tiebreakers if 4 teams end up 7-1. That is what is modeled below. NOT what I want to happen nor what I think will happen. Assuming the below is correct... Texas ends up 4th. https://bball.notnothing.net/sec.php?sport=fb
  10. Aggy 5 is a moron
  11. I love that booger McFarland, with all of the wealth he is attained in his life, never got that fucked up pinky fixed.
  12. Brian Kelly seems to have lost his Louisiana accent. I guess all that dancing around in those fucking weird recruiting videos cured him.
  13. This is clearly one of the meteor games. However, Brian Kelly is just so much more unlikable than fat Elko at this point. That said go LSU
  14. Yeah. Embedding not working, so.... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAm-ivUOGCM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  15. Not really, but many of our fellow Surly-ites would allow this fact to distract, scurrying to find out who was worse.
  16. Not so fast...
  17. It will be interesting to see if PFF grades McCord worse than "6 turnover worthy plays" given he actually had 5 turnover plays last night. Records are made to be broken...
  18. Thanks for posting that. It almost looks like what a pickup game at the Surly tailgate would look like today.
  19. A couple of followup comments on this. Regarding Franklin's "step back and point" response to questions, any leader, lawyer, or "whatever" affiliated with PSU would have had a canned response ready - in advance - for the coach to make. It would have been succinct, clear, etc. If a followup question is asked, he could either say, "I have already addressed that" or he could repeat the prepared answer, adding "that is all I will say about this topic." Something that makes him look (1) professional and (2) prepared. A while back, going directly to the coach made sense, even if it was the wrong decision. Go to police. Before the PSU, MSU, and Baylor debacles, there was a general distrust of the police, especially on college campuses. Moreover, there was a ton of victim blaming going on. And the police oftend did not take things like this seriously. "Oh, she got drunk. She was wearing blah blah blah." Go to university administration or dean of students. Similar to the police, but the "problem" would eventually make its way to the coach. Wrong... Going to the coach directly. The perception is that the coach is an authority figure for the player and reporting to him could cut out 4-5 levels of indirection. And, the hope is that the coach is a moral/decent human being and would punish the player or kick him off the team. A coach's incentives revolve around winning, and a morally bankrupt coach... That's how we get to the above problems festering. Bad people are supported by bad leaders and bad authority figures; in many cases they are rewarded for it.

  21. Excerpt... A longtime assistant coach, Abdur-Rahim spent time on staffs at Georgia, Texas A&M, Charleston, Georgia Tech and Murray State. While on Tom Crean's staff at Georgia, the Atlanta native helped the Bulldogs sign top-five recruit Anthony Edwards, who went on to be the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA draft. Before Abdur-Rahim left Georgia for Kennesaw State, he called Edwards to get his blessing. "Signing a guy like Anthony, that's a relationship that had been four years building and in the making. There were people around it that I had real relationships with that trusted myself and the coaching staff at Georgia, that trusted me to be there," Abdur-Rahim said on the "Coaching Origins" podcast in 2022. "Before I accepted the job, I called a few people, I called Anthony and I just said, 'Hey man, I got this opportunity, but if you need me here, I'll stay. I'm perfectly OK with it.' "I wouldn't have been able to recruit the players that I've recruited if it weren't for those, I call them, real relationships. Whether I got the kid or not. That person over there was going to be OK with me no matter what, and I was going to be OK with them."
  22. Franklin stepping away from the mircrophone is a horrible look. The SID should have prepared a statement nearly identical to what the athetlics department shared prior. And the AD should have had Franklin first read it and add some sort of comments sounding like he had an opinion - this is bad, guys are no longer with program, let legal system do its job, etc. That entire department is broken.
