My wife liked it and knows nothing about the games.
****POTENTIAL SPOILERS****



Honestly, my biggest issue is the lack of consequence to it all. There’s a large number of characters in the show at this point that have been added over the seasons. The threat is this terrible, merciless evil and somehow not a single character of consequence (other than ones that were very, very obviously at risk) has bit the dust in 4.5 seasons. It really dulls down the gravity of the circumstances when you know in the back of your mind they’re just going to pull something out of their arse and survive no matter how dire the situation presents.

Florida State would be royally pissed if they got left for dead in this next round of realignment :lol:
I know a couple people that will likely be on the search committee or nearly adjacent to it. Never say never, but I would be absolutely floored if Tulane hired Coach O. That is not the type of guy their board is going to go with. That’s not a knock against O—their higher ups just like a more “polished” public image.

Look, I get the optics of the whole thing but this is just flat out disingenuous. Coaches can get fired mid-season by schools and that’s fine but they can’t leave after the regular season? NBA/NFL players can demand to be traded mid season and that’s fine but this isn’t? CFB players can opt-out of bowl games to preserve their bodies for the NFL and that’s fine but this isn’t? This is done is some form or fashion everywhere.

I’m fine with someone taking issue with what Kiffin is doing—they’re entitled to their opinion. However, he’s throwing stones from a glass house with this “no other league would tolerate this” bullshite. What a whiny tool :lol:
There are maybe 2 teams a year not from one of these conferences that have a non-zero chance of making it past 2 rounds of the current playoff format. If anything, there’s too many of them included rn.

I get it, it’s going to be messy but they can’t act like they’re blameless. They can be mad at him for leaving all they want—that’s fair. But, there was a door for them to keep everything in place for a playoff run, they slammed it in his face, and now want to cry about him taking those assistants when they could control how it happened. That’s on them imo.

I don’t think LSU fans should be jaded on Kiffin either. He very well may do this song and dance to us. I’m not going to be surprised or whining about it because it’s what comes with the territory.

Ole Miss could’ve avoided this by letting the dude coach. If he’s not your coach, he’s got to start getting his next house in order and they’re upset with what they’ve sown. It’s routine for a coach to take assistants with him.
We do have it on paper, but the courts have narrowly interpreted the claim to the point that it’s essentially been litigated out of existence for practical purposes.
He’s always pretty emotionless in interviews :lol:

re: LSU coaching odds

Most people fundamentally misunderstand how non-binary result odds are made (and even those). They are set to make sure the payouts are net neutral while the casino keeps its take.
$10.75m per year for Drink makes $14m per year for Kiffin seem like a steal.
It’s probably a little early for a job like Arkansas, but I think Klein is going to do good things. Same mold/trajectory as Kellen Moore.
His OM contracts prohibits him from contracting with another school while he’s employed by OM. It would be cause to terminate him immediately and he would forfeit his buyout (which has no offset clause) if he did so. It is unlikely that he signed anything that would negate his leverage to keep coaching OM.

If he did sign anything, it would be a memorandum of understanding or a term sheet. High level terms like $$, years, and roster pool with the fine print going into a subsequent legalese contract negotiated out later once the dust settles a bit.
Science doesn't think they were fully covered in feathers like a chicken. Think like if a chicken had a feathered mane like a lion. New models are actually a little more badass than the movies imo. Also, they used the name velociraptor because it as a more intimidating name. The raptors from the movies were actually modeled after the species Deinonychus but they didn't like that species name so they used the name of the smaller velociraptor.
Just FYI, there are procedures for agendas to be amended on the fly.
This and more and more teams play on turf. It’s easier to get injured on turf.
Went to high school with the fan. Good dude and is every bit of 6’8” or taller. I could easily see him being able to get under Draymond’s charmin skin :lol:
This would make sense if the DOJ hadn't already charged him and plead him out to some minor offense before Trump was President. Even if he knew about it, what's he supposed to do if the DOJ already screwed the pooch on what they had investigated him for?

The Epstein stuff was fricked up and every single person directly involved should go to jail, but this logic could apply to literally every sitting politician in DC. They all knew, they all did nothing, but somehow only Trump has to take the heat for it?
Even if they have similar stats, it’s not really close unless and until the Ohio St two are almost unanimously considered the two best receivers in the league at the same time.
We have a mitigation clause. We can waive it if he agrees to take less money on the way out.
