Here are the cons:
You live in Baton Rouge.
Title expectations are just short of Alabama and Ohio State.
You have to live in Louisiana.
You are expected to complete for the SEC every year.
Pros:
Obviously a big up front contract.
Don't really need to compete to get all of the contract.
Sounds like a retirement plan job.

Have you ever flown in to Lincoln? It's not a very big airport to just blend in with the rest of the travelers.

Unfortunately, polls do still matter. They influence the committee on at larges. The G6 team and Notre Dame are probably the most impacted by opinion but the others as well.
As long as Notre Dame can not drop 3 games they'll be in because of their opinions, sometimes maybe even 3 given the national scenario.

re: Will you ever eat at Cracker Barrel again?
Posted by Robert Shields on 8/27/25 at 3:02 pm to CatsGoneWild
JoePa was still alive the last time I ate there and it was bad. I'd rather have waffle house for anytime breakfast since it is about the same quality, cheaper, and faster. The lunch and dinner is bland garbage.
Only remember the JoePa thing because the diddling scandal was just breaking.
I can't actually think of one major sit down chain I wouldn't pick over cracker barrel, never realized what a hater I was until this started making the rounds.

Think he's fine for now but once you have a sizable group of fans wanting you fired, there's never been a level of success that can make it go away completely. Honestly think had he lost the Indiana game along with the Michigan debacle he'd of been canned. Team is just too good to accept that. His overall record is insane. Don't know if a Tennessee loss would have got him fired but really think Indiana would have.

They can pretty much live on their own. I knew a couple that had a few and barely cared for them so if it is a pet it might be days before they know it's missing but apparently they can go feral too.
re: How many different states have you traveled to in the USA?

Alaska and Hawai, no.
Been to every state west of the Mississippi other than Kansas although it may have happened by a touch driving through but Kansas doesn't seem to have those kind of roads.
Northeast is where I haven't been. Build a wall from Illinois, Tennessee and north Carolina and I've never been up there. Been to Puerto Rico, it's a territory.

re: Dan Mullen is reportedly to be the next head coach at UNLV
Posted by Robert Shields on 12/12/24 at 8:52 am to JayAg
Even so, the best roster UNLV can muster will get smashed in the playoffs eventually, even with a bye. Maybe he's thinking he can parlay success to a better gig? He's already flamed out in the SEC. Maybe he wants a shot at a Big 10 contender or Notre Dame?

To everyone saying he can't recruit - one of his demands including having a roster management staff, which would also include a current GM of a college program, which would require buying out his contract. Curious to see what team he is planning on poaching.

re: Thamel: Gundy & Ok State in a standoff

Maybe in his mind he thinks his contract is what it is, negotiated and done. Now you want to pay the players? Fork over the money... I'd probably see it the same way, schools are throwing away money and he's proven (for that school).
If you want to compete, pay. If you made a bad contract, you pay for that too. Seems like OSU is trying to be fiscally conservative in a time when winners are not. This reversals of fortune for Gundy teams might have been him poisoning the well a little bit.
Hope he's not done as a HC but he's fine no matter what, just like having characters as coaches in cfb.

Posted by Robert Shields on 12/6/24 at 1:19 pm to nicholastiger
They could have just put SMU at 11 and moved everyone up. Then they would be in a situation with the B12 winner getting in that they'd know if they lose to Clemson that they would steal their bid. So unnecessary to make them fall out for losing a championship game while others are sitting at home and make people argue about it all off-season.

Just had my furnace serviced for the upcoming winter. Invoice was emailed and had a 15% tip selected as default. $125 for <30 minutes work plus tip? Shits gone too far...

Are you new? This is the life of an Arkansas fan.
Get used to it. Buy some Alabama or Georgia gear if you want to talk shite on a regular basis.
