Well, I just heard a Howard Stern segment from probably 7-8 years ago where Uncle Luke recalls how much he loved pissing on girls and would take players (unspecified pro or college) and they would have "sacrifice days" where they would basically take a girl and defile her up to and including pissing on her. He also mentioned taking the Fab 5 to a strip club where they all got blown on stage.

Nutt is offering to settle with Ole Miss for an official apology and 500k to start a state commission on sports ethics.

It seems to be a no-brainer choice because nobody but fans of those teams will even remember this happened in a few years but Ole Miss likely isn't smart enough to see it that way and will drag this out and probably lose.

Or they could just corrupt that commission early on in the process, defund it, and make it have zero power.

I automatically assumed that was what would happen. Mississippi, ethics, and a lot of cash, it just kind of spells it out for you.

He's also not entirely wrong. Jackson has huge flaws in his game that he currently overcomes at this level with phenomenal athleticism. He won't pull the same act in the NFL, he'll have to actually sit back and pick apart defenses and read coverages. I think he'll do something in the NFL but I'm not sure how long he'll last.

As neat as those anonymous coach hot takes are, that's one Clawson probably should have either kept to himself or filtered it a bit better.

I'd totally believe someone poisoned the well for Nutt on interviews. He wasn't so objectively bad he'd be forced into other work, he was more than capable of coaching at G5 or lower P5 schools until retirement.

What was his Arkansas scandal? The Ole Miss one was just recruiting, right? He just bent the poo poo out of the rules until they fixed them, that wasn't particularly scandalous to me, it was actually textbook SEC.

There was also something about his friends undermining Mitch Mustain I think with letters to newspapers talking poo poo on him.

Ah, I at least remember the Mitch Mustain madness. Been a long time since Nutt was at Arkansas.

My favorite part about all this is Hugh Freeze raised expectations so high at Ole Miss (because he cheated) that they're going to be massacring the next 4-5 head coaches they get for not meeting up to what Freeze did (when he was cheating). The next like 20 years for Ole Miss is going to suck hard unless they manage to find a prodigy hire which they can enjoy for like two years until LSU hires him.

Maybe the suspension will prevent the punt reception turnover that would've doomed us.

You only need like 10 points to beat Michigan anyway.

VT names Josh Jackson starter. Former Cornhusker AJ Bush made a tremendous push for the job and by all accounts will still probably see some decent PT but JJ was pushing Jerod Evans last year so he's no slouch. Fuente's shown to be an awesome QB coach so whatever he says is good with me anyway.

Vaccines lose efficacy over time but because of herd immunity you rarely see breakouts because between the young and the old it can't establish a foothold and spread. However, if someone that never got vaccinated for whatever reason got it and then was all in and around people who got the vaccine 20 years ago then yea, something might happen.

Vaccinated adults don't get something like chickenpox out of the blue essentially. Vaccinated adults in constant close contact with someone who has chickenpox might, though.

The notion of that seemingly permanent immunity is kind of false. Everyone typically needs a booster or two for this as they age. Usually, though, provided you don't work with the sick, young, or elderly on a consistent basis you can typically avoid these boosters but people like teachers, nurses, etc. should be getting boosters and staying on top of their schedule.

99% of coaches don't know poo poo about technology or FOIA. At best some are capable of posting emojis and tweets but very few would understand a burner phone concept or the necessity for them since they don't know about public colleges and FOIA.

What you should be shocked about is Ole Miss didn't have this stuff included when/if they had an NCAA compliance-type meeting for the staff. I would think at the bare minimum each school should have these each year to explain such things and oh hey if you're going to do anything illegal which we're sure you wouldn't for the love of god don't use a phone the school owns.

If Butch gets canned you can say goodbye to what is turning out to be a very very good 2018 recruiting class. We were up there in the top 5 weeks ago but I haven't checked lately. Those kids probably go elsewhere if we struggle to a 7-5 year with a few bad losses.

*whispers* Jon Gruden

A school like UT should never sacrifice a recruiting class for a coach that needs to go. If this was VT I'd say yea, sign that class then move on but UT recruits good regardless of the coach.

That said, there's no way Butch is there in 2020.

GT just pulls that old bullshit VT used to do ages ago where if they were at all favored or ranked they'll inevitably poo poo the bed but they're a goddamn unholy terror to play if they're the underdog and not talked about much. Expectations make GT crumble, I think every time they came out of the blue to win the Coastal and/or the ACC the next year they do awful when they're picked to win stuff. They're a pretty popular dark horse candidate this year so I'm not really sure how to take that.

Weddings aren't wastes of time but they are wastes of money. You can 100% spend that money in better ways that will benefit you more as a couple. Blowing that kind of money in a 24 hour period is loving retarded.

Schiano got them to a relatively consistent 6-8 wins and Flood coasted on that for a couple years, otherwise they have sucked rear end since they started regularly playing major conference opponents instead of Princeton and Bucknell

And one could argue, quite successfully, that those win numbers under Schiano were greatly increased with VT, Miami, and BC no longer in the ACC.

This semester I am taking a graduate seminar on the university (both critical theory about universities and university novels). Our first reading is The Higher Learning in America by Thorstein Veblen. It was published in 1918, but I believe he started working on in the 00's. Anyway, I want to share this footnote with you all. The sentence that triggers the footnote (it actually has two) reads: "Little need be said of the threadbare subterfuges by which (ostensibly surreptitious) pecuniary inducements are extended to students and prospective students who promise well as college athletes; or of the equally threadbare expedients by which these members of the guild of sportsmen are enabled to meet formal requirements f scholarship imposed by shamefaced intercollegiate bargaining. The first footnote tells of a university paying a player $40 a month as a bookkeeper for the janitor of one of the dorms. The second footnote reads:

Was there a third footnote that argued the validity of Piggly Wiggly national title claims?

Rutgers would probably have beaten Miami more from 2004-2011 than they would BC. Don't know how you could look at BC during those years and go "what a lovely program glad they're gone".

Like just for the sake of argument, these are the teams from 2004-2011 (when they chose to leave for the ACC and when Schiano finished at Rutgers).

How does Rutgers not benefit massively from those schools no longer playing them?

VT was 20 yards from tying Clemson, NCSU almost beat them, Pitt did. Seriously, go look at their post-FSU schedule. No quality win whatsoever and they struggled massively with a lot of teams they shouldn't including finishing the season by losing 3 straight and getting manhandled in two of the games.

And Louisville needed a miracle to beat an abysmal UVA. UL's not better this year than they were last year. They won't go 4-8 but they're not pushing Clemson and FSU to the side en route to the ACCCG either.

Conference solidarity is the stupidest thing. I want every other member of the big 12, especially OU, to get housed as often as possible, especially in bowl games.

It's an underrated aspect to how college sports can work. Recruits buy into that poo poo hard. Bad SEC football programs recruit because they can tell kids "come play against Bama in front of 100,000". It works similarly in basketball for ACC teams, you just sell kids on playing against the best of the best in front of packed houses.

In both major revenue sports the more successful your conference is the better it is for your school. More bowls/NCAAT means more cash for your school. If your conference looks really good you can even swing a network deal which is serious money. I don't like a lot of ACC schools but if them winning doesn't affect VT I'm all for it because in the end it's usually to VT's benefit. I usually view those situations as win-win because either they win and the ACC looks better or they lose and I can revel in their misery.
