re: Coach Harsin’s full presser today

This isn’t bait - pure curiosity: have you watched many of his pressers? Because from the moment he was hired I was pointing out that the motherfricker can talk a circle around you So far, he gives as much detail as Gus does but in 5x the amount of words.

I cannot agree with your last statement. I think he does give out more substance and info about players, the team, and football answers, but I think it gets lost, after he rambles on for another 10 mins.

And I also don't think he is doing this intentionally. I think it's simply in his DNA to explain, talk, explain, talk in his answers.
He reminds me of when I hear my wife answer someone, and I am hearing her bring in information or info she thinks is relevant, while I am thinking, she could have gone from point A to B a lot quicker without all that other information she adds to her answer. (I hope you don't know my wife, bc I will deny, deny.) :)

Want me to start making rumors about players getting arrested and whatnot? That will make this feel like a more normal offseason week before gameweek..

Start a rumor about scrimmage mvp. Just leave out that he’s a walk on and the placeholder

“SCRIMMAGE MVP ARRESTED FOR _______”

Good

I had the first one pegged

This whole sequence has me convinced we live in a simulation. Let’s summarize it:

- Throws a tantrum about Harsin handing out hats to fans and the media because media members are supposed to be impartial.
- A week later releases his book that’s essentially named “Suckling at the Teet of Saban”
- Basically calls Harsin and anti-vaxxer.
- Reaches out to a recruit’s dad to get his thoughts on how Harsin is handling COVID in an attempt to write a hit piece.
- Then when he is almost directly addressed in a press conference, continues to double down on Harsin being opposed to the vaccine.

I feel like I’m waiting on Ashton Kutcher to pop out and tell me I was punked

Ole Miss may just say, “check box A if you were vaccinated, if we get to 85% as a group we don’t have to test or forfeit games. Check box B if you weren’t vaccinated and wanted to be tested a lot.”

This may be true...but every team in the league already knows they are 100% vaccinated against the measles or they know they have the one out whatever it is that's parents were against that vaccine and got an exception. Again, getting 120 guys on a football team to do the same thing isn't that hard.

I'd say something along these lines to my team if I thought they needed to be vaccinated for competitive reasons.

“I think there's two issues when it comes to vaccines, First of all, we have a majority of our players who have gotten the vaccine, and we've given every player on our team the choice to do that. I think there's a couple things to consider. First of all, you have a personal decision, which comes down to risk -- risk of COVID, relative risk to the vaccine. It's the same thing. We don't really have a lot of knowledge about how this stuff is going to affect people in the future, so that's a personal decision that everybody has the right to make. On the other hand, you also have a competitive decision to make because you're going to be a part of a team. So how does the personal choice and decision you make affect the team?”
