[quote]He was great in college. I don’t understand how kicking field goals would be any different in the NFL.

I think he was trying too hard to take his preparation and technique to a new level when he got here, and he admitted as much himself. He felt like that he, as a highly-drafted...

[quote]You really believe the time in-between the loss and the press conference is the only time posts like that were made?
I know you don't believe that.[/quote]

[quote]Nothing against Reese but she came here for money. she’s good at what she does, I have nothing against her. But the way Caitlyn plays and reps Iowa. She’s the greatest that will ever do it and she’s the underdog against all these NIL super teams. And she’s just incredibly exciting to watch. I...

re: Washington Post (different writer) wrote article on Kim Mulkey 3 months ago (paywall link)
Posted by TigerCard on 3/26/24 at 1:47 pm
This is a great article, by one of the best and most respected sportswriters in the business. Sally Jenkins goes out of her way to dismiss the easy media caricatures of Mulkey. Here's the opening paragraph:

NCAA to discuss changes to football recruiting calendar
Posted by TigerCard on 2/28/24 at 3:24 pm
According to Sports Illustrated, the proposal would move the December signing day up to early in the month and add a summer signing period so players could sign their LOI if they're sure of their decision and put recruiting behind them before they enter their senior season. February signing date wo...

I was at LSU from 78-81 and saw Rudy, Dwayne Scales, Ethan Martin, Greg "Cookie Man" Cook and the rest of those great players. It was an exciting time to be a Tiger basketball fan!

re: Tommy Rees to Cleveland as TE coach
Posted by TigerCard on 1/22/24 at 6:49 pm
If he sees his future in the NFL, this would actually be a good entry-level job. Stefanski puts a fair amount of emphasis on the TE position, and Rees would learn a lot and , if he does a good job, build some cred as a solid NFL assistant....

Here's an article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer about this. Looks like it's a pretty serious possibility.

A lot of good coordinators or position coaches don't succeed when they transition to head coaches. That doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't be good additions to a staff. Time will tell......

I agree. I always thought Jimbo was fool's gold, and I definitely didn't want him at LSU. Elko seems more like a solid hire. I think he'll do well at ATM. ...

There are so many variables ... If a coach is truly on the fence about where to leave, a counteroffer might persuade him to stay. And some coaches look for offers for the sole reason of getting a raise from their present employers. But coaches don't always leave for financial reasons. It could be...
re: Complimentary football is needed
Posted by TigerCard on 1/6/24 at 12:04 am
