My only point is that the vast majority of the teams were not even mentioned.
That’s because if your team is not in playoff contention, they are hardly in current episodes. However, the current coaching carousel which many teams find themselves a part of, is ripe for comedy. It makes perfect sense.

The only thing better would have been Kentucky and maybe one other not ready to buy yet, but just “browsing”

Pure gold and the best one this season IMHO.

Hard to use with cause, when he's canned for not winning.
It’s impossible to fire him with cause because of the language of the contract. He must be given notice of the reason cause is why he’s being fired within a certain time frame of being notified that he’s being terminated. That time lapsed before they even hinted at it.
Now they’re trying to say that he wasn’t really fired because Woodward didn’t have the authority to fire him.
Good luck with that argument! :lol:

LSU just giving any top coach a reason not to come there. What a disaster this process is turning out to be for them.
Agreed. Politics aside, which has been a factor since the Huey Long days, the shite show of having no internal leadership in an AD or President has complicated the situation.
Whether they took the interim tag off Verge (Asst. AD), don’t really know if he will be the AD at the end of the day or if he’s just a public face and placeholder until the hiring of the next coach.
Finally hired a real President , although some are not sure if he’s really up to the job.
Finally, if they don’t hold up to their end of the contract and this stretches out much further, most big coaches and even some G5s and Assistants that are in demand will not take the job for fear of them being treated the same.

Yes. Really they’re based on needs or means. However, there are outside scholarships based on academics and other factors.
Admittedly, I don’t know how much money his family was making, but grants aren’t necessarily needs based.
Believe me, there are ways to do it that don’t require you to get into debt if you want to do there. Especially if he’s smart enough to get in.
It’s about what is important to the person. (Personally, for an undergraduate degree, I’d go to a prestigious state school if I had been in his shoes)

re: Has Ory Williams been discussed?

Yeah. I like Scotcho’s depth charts and was disappointed that he stopped doing them after the Florida game.
But I’ve seen lots of different depth charts on different websites and remember some of the reports coming out of Spring and Fall practices. Therefore, I like to look at depth charts before the season begins. That usually shows where the players were getting the most looks as far as position, even though it can change during the season.
I know Ory has been listed at RT in the majority of the depth charts I’ve seen. I believe that’s probably based on the relative athleticism compared to other tackles. Looks like the coaches have confidence in his abilities at LT.
On some websites, Curne is listed as backup at the start of the season at both LT and RT.

Also was Davis injured vs Bama or just benched?
Honestly, I don’t remember.
As far as Curne goes, I believe he was originally supposed to be a guard, but he has tremendous athleticism so they used him at tackle

Was he always at RT
He’s always been an OT. I believe that he’s always been projected as a RT from out of high school to every depth chart I’ve seen in his 2 years at LSU

Maybe he wasn't able to get up to speed mentally or physically yet. If he hasn't played, I'll take the coach's opinion that sees them practice everyday.
I agree as to your second sentence. Since I’m not at practice, I can’t weigh in on that.
As to the first, he must’ve come up to speed recently I guess.
As to the whole, I think this may be a further indictment on Brad Davis’s performance. Not only is his coaching ability suspect, but his personnel decisions are questionable as well

Correct me if I’m wrong, but in today’s game are there really “every down edges?” Seems like there’s a lot of situational types of players.
This is more a general observation or opinion than a comment on this player in particular
