Yeah it was known for a while that there wouldn't be an extension with Russell, but I think this is the first time anyone within the athletic department actually has said they are meeting with reps from Nike, Adidas, or UA. I have a feeling that it might be UA because the are really pushing hard to eat Nike's lunch.

Why any athletic department would go with Adidas after seeing war crimes like Louisville's and A&M's unis is a mystery to me.

Does anyone other than GT still have a deal with Russell?

I think recruits like Nike the best but anything's better than Russell.

GT's SBNation site wrote a pretty good article last year on Tech's poor branding and how switching from Russell would be a huge boon.

Worth noting that

- That only tied the game; the Dawgs needed a PAT to take the lead and the kicking game was garbage that night; and
- Mizzou was on their way to getting in FG range for a game-winner but their dude straight up dropped the ball on a nice gain

His performance art could've ended much, much more tragically. He'll learn. You only celebrate UGA wins half a year later when the game is finally over, no one got hurt, no one got drunk and drove in the celebration that night, and no one got pinched for weed in the offseason.

I think the thing that sucked the most about that is that Eason dropped a loving dime for what should have been a game winning touchdown. It was a serious big-boy pass and he just chucked it like it was backyard ball. Losing sucks, but losing after that sucked worse.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
That last part is pretty indicative of how hard it can be to work any place where one side of the ball can't carry its weight. Try being OC at a place where the D is virtually guaranteed to be more talented and better coached and you have a coach who won't accept that fact as an excuse.

Savage writes that Kiffin said into his headset “dumb players make dumb plays,” which all the Crimson Tide coaches heard. Saban snapped back with “no, dumb offensive coordinators call dumb plays.” There were probably a few expletives left out.

Do you think internally that Kiffin believes he's a better coach than Saban, he just hasn't had the right opportunity?

I would have to think all coaches believe they are the best or how else would you survive the grind of getting to a point where you get a head coaching job, and then doing it?

Some might admit Saban is better than them but not publicly

"We'll see how the first year goes. But people better get us now, because we're going to keep getting better and better."
I randomly remembered today that, about two years ago, the University of North Dakota decided to change its mascot from the "Fighting Sioux". Before doing so, they had an online form for suggesting mascot names. Then, in a surprising move, they published what appears to be every suggestion they received. I got to wondering whether UND was still hosting those PDFs, and yes, they are.

Names Being Considered

Names Not Being Considered (this is the real good one)

code:
Name                      Description

Fighting Sioux            Only hippie liberal faggots are offended by this name, 
                          and has been a part of this region's culture since forever. 
                          Plus Fighting Irish is ok

interracial cuckold fags  similar to the first suggestion yet features a more 
                          'out of the box' and playful thought process surrounding 
                          it

It's worth noting that pages 33 through 159 of the non-consideration list contain only "Fighting Sioux", the old mascot name, over and over again.

There's also a solid chunk of "ermine" suggestions, which I like to think were all written by the same person:

code:
Name          Description

ermine        Awesome animal that's native to North Dakota

ermine        Based on my research, no other pro, college, or hs has this name.

ermine        Because I want to see signs in the stands that say tERMINEator.

ermine        Ermines are arctic stoats. Northern animals, fierce and territorial, 
              yet also adorable, soft, and furry

ermine        It is native to North Dakota, it's a fearsome predator; it's cute, 
              furry and cuddly (exellent markerting), and UND Ermine reads 
              "undermine."

ermine        It looks adorable while it's killing Gophers, Badgers, and Wolverines.
it goes on like this

Edit: I tried hard to make the formatting on this look good, let me know if it breaks tables

Tennessee hired Philip Fulmer yesterday as an advisor to the President. It's good to see him back with the university after years of some bad blood in regards to his firing in 2008. Looks like he's gonna be doing similar to what Spurrier does now down in Florida.

This comes a week or so after Keyshawn Jr. was busted with a few grams of weed in his dorm room; his RA smelled it. For context, he was living in Selleck Hall, a small, old central campus dorm that stays open during the summer for exchange students and football kids like him. He'd have had better luck getting away with it in the middle of class, probably.

All the Will Grier hype coming out of WVU seems like a little much. He was good by recent Florida QB standards but he had like three good games. I feel like every time a QB transfers his reputation increases like 20 fold. Like when people decided that Kenny Hill was always going to be September Heisman Kenny when he transferred to TCU.

Typically Florida QB's that leave our lovely offense have Heisman-eque seasons wherever they go next so there's some good hype.
