With Duggan graduating I'd accept someone putting TCU out of the top 5. It's supposed to be a poll about what happens next year.

How will the NCAA adapt to this new era of NIL and athlete's rights? If you guessed "it will strenuously try to make it so it doesn't have to" congratulations!quote:No one ever said it’d be easy to work with Congress. But it may be the only way forward, according to Baylor president Linda Livingstone, who chairs the NCAA Board of Governors, the organization’s highest governing body.

GD_American posted:Honestly, I expected him to be far more of an rear end in a top hat about transfers and NIL, but his ability to adapt to the changing landscape of the game has overridden his old-rear end man grumpiness so far. There's something admirable to me about his insane, ridiculous desire to win overcoming any theoretical resistance to things like that Like he initially threw a fit over fast offenses when Manziel beat him but rather than die on that hill he hired Lane Kiffin to make him a fast-paced offense of his own. Not a lot of coaches would do that.

Bird in a Blender posted:Did the SWC implode because teams decided to join the big 8/12, or was the conference already hosed up and the big 8 just picked up the pieces? Combo of the latter and politics. Texas was pac-10 bound and A&M was going to the SEC (so the SWC was doomed either way) until they were essentially told "you will take Baylor and Tech with you or the legislature will no longer be approving any of your construction projects" which essentially forced the big 12 into being

I guess to play slight devil's advocate given what a hellhole of long hours and stress coaching is at any level but especially big time college or the NFL, you probably place a premium on a guy you can spend those hours with without wanting to strangle him. Plus the safety of taking a known quantity who was good once vs a total newcomer. It's still dumb but it's understandable at a human level

Leach stories If people want I can post more for those without Athletic subs quote:Falk: We’re playing Oregon my senior year. We’re up by like 17. I’m checking runs and short, quick-game passes at the end, trying to run the clock out. We end up kicking a field goal with two minutes left to really seal the deal. I go to the sideline and he was so displeased with me that I wasn’t being aggressive and trying to score a touchdown. He was like: “What are you, just uh, uh, uh, a career bunter?” quote:James Whalen, Kentucky receiver: I made a mistake (in a game). He came up to me and was getting after me pretty good. I said something to the effect of, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” He looked at me and his eyes got big and, boy, he got pissed. And he said: “If we were in Rome, I’d feed you to the f—— lions.”

Leach stories, part 2Steve Spurrier Jr posted:When we were at Oklahoma, he had a plastic bag with two slices of bread in it. Every day, he brought two slices of bread. I watched him one day. He got a piece of bread and balled it up. One whole slice of bread and just balled it as tight as he could. I can’t quite figure out what he’s doing. Is he going fishing? He’s just sitting there for a couple minutes squeezing it. Then he took the ball and he put it in his mouth and swallowed it whole. So I asked him. He said: “Well, my wife said because I drink so much coffee and it’s not good for my stomach that I need to eat two slices of bread a day — and I hate bread. So I ball it up and swallow it up.” Hal Mumme posted:We make this big trip to Florida in 1991. On the way back, we’re driving along and I looked at him. “I think I might be able to get the job at The Citadel. How would you like that?” He looks at me and goes, “I don’t want to play soldier.” … He said, “If I was going to play something, I just want to play a pirate.” He goes into this long oration about how you could have a school where everybody dressed like pirates. You could have cannon practice and swing-your-sword practice.

I mean there are reasons as stated (you can find it just about anywhere) that the CW might be in some ways better than other non-major networks but I feel like the reputation hit would be a deathblow to the Pac 12 I assume this was thrown in there because it's too funny not to, not because discussion with them has reached some sort of serious level

I think it's more "the Bears are very stupid" I don't think draft analysts (that aren't directly employed by the team) have ever actually convinced an NFL team to draft someone But yes, Trubisky was not looked on kindly the moment he was drafted. Another great college player who we all knew would fail in the NFL was Manziel but he didn't get drafted til like 22 I think and it was the Browns so everyone's reaction was like "well yeah"

The Soviets did this thing where you had a 5 day work week with one day of rest in it that was randomly assigned (with no regard to if your spouse or anyone else you cared about got the same day or not) and there were 5 holidays for everyone in the calendar; there were no common rest days other than the holidays. They later made it a 6 day work week with one common day of rest for all workers because, among other things, they never had a chance to do maintenance on machines in factories if they were in continuous use (which was the point of the original schedule)

Bird in a Blender posted:There’s two explanations. First is that the star ranking is bullshit, which we already know. Kids will get stars boosted when they’re recruited by good or high profile teams, it’s mostly made up. It's not total bullshit. 5 stars are massively more likely to make the NFL than anyone else and the NFL isn't drafting based on their stars from high school. Getting less than a quarter of your 5 stars drafted is bad.

Spacebump posted:Aren't well ranked defensive players more likely to make it than offensive? I feel like I've read rankings miss on offensive players way more than defensive. I do not know although I would guess that QBs probably skew the offensive ratings down as it is notoriously hard for anyone at any level to properly predict QB performance. I would guess linesmen on both sides are easier to predict who will get drafted since they need physical attributes just to start with that are simply not teachable. Someone once said something to the effect of "there are only so many 6-6 300 pound people who can move in the world" so anyone that big has a shot unless they're just terrible

Bird in a Blender posted:I'm starting to think I'm the outlier in this group because I got my degree in 4 years and immediately went to work using that degree. I kind of wish I took more time off after college, I did take about a month, but I wish I had waited like two, and taken a second trip someplace. I have some friends that did Peace Corps, and sometimes I think I should've done that, but I don't know if I could've handled all that. I was definitely anxious about waiting too long to start work after college, I always figured I needed to get to work right away, otherwise I might not have any opportunities if I took too much time off. Oh well, can't change it now. I did this too but drank myself out of my industry and spent 7 years outside it either trying to break my addiction or trying to get back in (which I finally did in 2021) so take heart, just like you're never too old to go back to school, you're never too old to gently caress up either!
