Hearing lots of noise from members of GamecockNation supporting Tate.

And no to the guy with ties to the fake national champions, UCF. Tanner thinks we'll be happy with a duct tape, glitter and cardboard national championship trophy so he probably supports him. We's smardur dan dat, Ray.

I wouldn’t take the UCF guy just because that school is absolute trash
I would get a full ride academic scholarship there

I’ll take the guy who went to Harvard and MIT , is a Biomedical Engineer then ran the Northwestern Engineering school

yeah hopefully we don't go the route of a Community Organizer Scientist. lots of publications/writings slap up the SJW alley on this person's resume. I suspect the Scientist a bit apathetic to athletics, too.

if we beat any more ACC teams in baseball I'm making a cardboard "ACC champ" trophy and putting it on my tater neighbor's porch.

what if he was just awarded the Theodore Roosevelt award - given to a former college athlete who's excelled in his pursuits in life? he's only been at Cent Fla a few months.

2019 Theodore Roosevelt Award: Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen Jr.
Discipline honed as football player and cadet at Army West Point laid the groundwork for a remarkable military career


https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/2019-theodore-roosevelt-award-lt-gen-robert-l-caslen-jr

TheSnake's already blessed him a nice potential welcome with these words ...

During Caslen’s time at West Point, he and those under his command drew criticism ranging from prayer after a football game to out of control parties, according to media reports.

In 2014, he took full blame for an incident when Army football players and recruits were taken on a chartered bus to a bowling alley, where recruits reported underage binge drinking and cheerleaders making out, according to a report obtained by The Gazette, a newspaper based in Colorado Springs.


I'd prefer someone that's gonna put their foot in the arse of everyone around the comfy Rice building and isn't apprehensive to tell the orange politicians at all levels in Columbia exactly what they can shove up their asses if it's for the good of USC.

That’s why we’d need someone smarter than them.
Politicians don’t like smart people

Eta: don’t really know that just making shite up

The one who is willing to fire Ray Tanner gets my vote.

But in all seriousness, William Tate would be quite a big deal in the post-Reconstruction South.

Probably why they were trying to push Mick Mulvaney on us. I couldn't believe it when those articles were coming out. Using a USC Presidency as some sort of political reward...

Look at the academic and professional accomplishments in the OPs article...it makes the idea of Mick Mulvaney even more laughable.

That’s why the one who will get hired is the one that won’t do that

The school likes that guy too much.

IMO the reason Clemson has been so much better is because they are in 2019 and we are treating athletics like it’s 1999

We need someone who hates Clemson like we do and doesn't give a damn about what we have to do to beat them. To hell with some Yankee academic, hire Rooster.

USC Upstate chancellor Brendan Kelly will serve as interim president starting August 1 after students protested the finalists for not being inclusive or whatever the frick. We had a shot at a former USMA superintendent and these assholes ruined it.

Essentially yes LINK

After a week of forums with university presidential candidates, the Board of Trustees did not choose a candidate to replace USC President Harris Pastides.

The board has selected Brendan Kelly, chancellor of USC — Upstate, to serve as the interim president of the university.

The Presidential Search Committee selected Joseph T. "Jay" Walsh, Robert L. "Bob" Caslen, William F. Tate and John S. Applegate as the four finalists to present to the Board of Trustees. The board interviewed all four candidates on Friday before not selecting any finalist.

The university has not made it clear what the next steps will be.

“Have infiltrated”

It’s been like this for a while now.

Most colleges are

Yea, I remember we started wearing panties around 2008 I think. Then the liberals took it and made it their own thing.

I feel like we're turning into fricking Mizzou when we let a few hundred ppl decide who is and isn't qualified to be our President. Who gives a frick if it's a woman or not. Who gives a frick if they interviewed one.

Interviewing one just to satiate demands of sjw's on campus means interviewing one less person who is ACTUALLY qualified for the position.
