I'm not altogether sure there is a whistleblower (though I'm sure they can cast one, albeit from a limited pool).

Like to know if any of the people pushing this will go on record as having physically met and conversed with him.

Report came out last night that alleges that there is a memorandum summarizing the White House meeting on May 10, 2017, between Donald Trump and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, a meeting at which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a foreign agent, and at which he also told Lavrov and Kislyak that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the previous day had relieved “great pressure” on him.



Wow, that's awful convenient. Interesting how the same guy who keeps pulling the football away as you try to kick it, was so sloppy.

Sunk by a memo. Who would have thought? I mean it's not like he has had reason to believe he was being spied on by his own intelligence agency since before he took office.

But you know how it is. Got to document every little thing, y'know? No way, no way that would ever be leaked.

I’m getting real tired of the countless injuries we have under Muschamp


Yeah. It really is insane.

There have always been coaches who had physical practices. Some of them coach now.

But no one has as many players injured as Muschamp. How is it even possible? If it's Dillman, what could he be doing?
I really don't get all the Mizzou shade, but whatever. I don't feel that way, but not much I can do about it.

But I'll tell you this, if I had a magic button to reset everything to when Carolina first joined the SEC, I would.

I hate this playoff crap. And the BCS before it.

I wanna go back to the old Big 8/Orange Bowl, SEC/Sugar/Open, etc system.

Screw the new age. I've seen both, and the old way was infinitely better.

Love to see the Nebraska/Oklahoma game back. Lots of others.

Get off my lawn.

shite. We can't get out of our own way when it comes to injuries. Geez. I'm on the fence when it comes to RS him. Yes we need him to have our best chance of winning but we don't want to blow a RS bcuz he gets hurt after week 5 or 6.




Our doctors are as good as anyone's I guess. And Muschamp, or no Muschamp, I can's see a Doctor giving the Ok to play Hilinski if it clearly isn't possible.

Look some of these require immediate surgery. Some of them will get better on their own, even if you play on them. (It helps that throwing a football is nowhere near as much of a strain on your arm as a baseball.)

Sometimes these injuries can be acerbated by another injury, or just from use. If that happens I have every confidence the Doctors will pull the plug on it, whatever anyone on the coaching staff wants. Or even Hilinski himself wants. Not on our watch.

But we don't know how effective he is going to be throwing. He looked like crap slinging it until the halftime cortisone shot, or whatever that was.

To be honest, that backwards pass/fumble was a bonehead play, but I can see lots of guys mess that up. It happened in a split second.

His bad throw in the end zone is more troubling, but over time I've seen lots of guys, and not just freshmen make that mistake. So growing pains? Bentley never seemed to grow out of them.

But make no mistake, this guy has the best arm we have ever had here. It's like Blake Mitchell's but better. Dondrial Pinkins probably could sling it further and harder, but by no means was he in the same ballpark as a passer with the other two guys.

Hopefully Hilinski will progress. If he does, he will probably leave after his junior year. I'm not joking about that, he has all the physical tools, size, arm, some athleticism, plus he doesn't let things get to him.

If he progresses (unlike Bentley) he's gone in two more years.

So if the Doctors ok it, let him try to play.

We run into this same thing where some Mizzou fans will do their best to try to drag down the current regime because they didn’t like the hire. It’s so counter productive I have a hard time believing they actually want to win. I truly believe some of them are happier when we lose because they can wallow in sorrow and for some reason that is more enjoyable to them.

It’s weird



The flip side of your argument is it can be apparent that something is bad, and needs to change.

But some people don't see it, like a battered housewife whose husband beats the sh*t out of her: "He's really changed this time."

Funny. I watched all the media availability today, and Coach and every other player asked said Ryan was back to normal today in practice. Hasn't missed a rep all week.

This smells of pot stirring.




I was seeing references to this last week about the severity of the tear.

Depending on where it is, and how serious, surgery may not be needed. And even baseball pitchers have kept playing with minor versions of this.

But from my reading you don't see this injury in football from throwing too much or too hard.

You get it when a ... the word they used was "hyperextended" elbow that undergoes a sharp blow.

Kind of got the idea that if you actually got this injury in football (and it is not unknown in the sport), by the sheer manner in which it happens you usually got one of the auto-surgery versions.

I'd put up a link to the elbow injury/Tommy John thing, but if you are curious you can find that yourself.

If it was my kid I'd advise him to get surgery - if the doctor thought is was the thing to do.

This is something he can have done and have absolutely no future side effects, or it could end his career possibly if he really aggravates the injury.

Or maybe he doesn't have any torn ligaments. Tend to think he does though.

Hypothetically if Muschamp went 1-11...

Posted by Sunbeam on 9/24/19 at 2:13 pm
Would he resign? Or go on to next year?

No doubt if he resigned, everyone would be so relieved that some kind of generous package would be cobbled up, just to have him go. Wouldn't be as much as if he dragged it out, but he is going to be one unhappy camper while it's dragging.

Or does he come back, with the full intent of turning it all around? Coaches are wired that way.

I say that, because I can see us losing to Kentucky - again. On paper we ought to win this, with Kentucky's injury and general rebuilding problems this year.

But I can easily see him losing this. Tennessee and Vandy ought to be winnable as well, but I dunno. Then we have Appalachian State...

Just saying I can imagine 1-11. Does that break Champ, or does he come back for another joust at the Windmill?

I have an idea what Sexton will tell him to do.

If you believe that nothing matters but the playoff anyway, and you are already out of it for the season, it makes total sense.

Yea, he’s leaving. Should’ve been on offense this whole time, but he only wanted to be a DB.

Despite the fact he was clearly in the wrong position, I think things are about to get really ugly with recruits and current players.




It doesn't help us, but if you look at it from a business standpoint of sorts it makes sense. He'll be within the 4 game redshirt window. Just like the qb from Houston.

The more I think of it, that Houston kid had an effective idea. He's not going to go to Oklahoma (cause Rattler), but I could actually see him landing at say Alabama, Georgia, or Florida in our neck of the woods.

But what the heck is Jam's plan? Unless he is on track to graduate he can't grad transfer, so he'll sit out a year or Juco for one.

And is he staying at DB?

I agree. He wants to be a pirate, so it would be perfect. He'd bring excitement back




Mike Leach is 58 years old, doesn't make much less money than we'd pay him, and his machine is already built.

He doesn't seem to mind living in Pullman. One day in the next 10 years he is going to decide he wants to ride off into the Sunset, and he will.

In his shoes I'd stay at Wazzou till I was ready to retire, and see whose season I could ruin, all while having fun.

Frankly I was surprised he was linked to the Tennessee job at all a few years ago.

Insane what his coaching tree is like now.

Hmmm I see both attended Jacsonville State University (which I thought was in Jacksonville, FL BTW).

So they are already... Gamecocks!

Probably too early for this kind of thing, but do you guys think Bill Clark would take a P5 job if offered?

Seen his name mentioned here and there, and just got a feeling about him.

Of course I wanted to hire Willie Fritz when we were looking before (and I think he is too old to do all this job jumping now).

And I'd love to find a guy like Chris Klieman. Clark doesn't have a resume like his, but I get a good vibe off him. And I think he can recruit the South, which I'd wonder about with Klieman.

I think UAB is building a stadium though? And he wants to stay at least to coach in that? Or maybe he wants to stay at UAB?

Yeah, but where does he go from here though?

He's not going to recruit at Georgia's level, or Florida's if they ever get recruiting going again there.

You guys have done well there, but in this new college football age you are going to have to amp up the offense if you realistically want to improve past what you had last year.

I've enjoyed your posts.

But I'd kinda like this season to go away. So just not up for it. Sorry.

Apparently uh... acting isn't really that lucrative unless you make it to the point of someone like Hanks or Depp (at one time) was.

So lots of actresses turn tricks. Lots of expenses involved with being perceived as an actress, particularly one supposedly up for good parts.

Works the same way for pop singers.
