re: Why would Kiffin pick LSU over Ole Miss or Florida?

When you consider:
1. just how much time these coaches know they’re going to be spending either out of town or in the athletic facilities;
2. That the coach KNOWS that he’s going to end up buying some multimillion dollar brick mansion in a double gated community, that every college town has one, and that they’re all practically identical to each other, and
3. They have practically unlimited access to a private jet owned by a booster

I just can’t see the choice of city weighing that heavily on the choice of a head coach. If a program is willing to pay me $11-12 million a year, my family and I will live in an ugly city without a farmer’s market to go to on Saturday mornings

Meh. Shite's happened for years.

Tons of "rankers" would routinely place David Cutcliffe over Les Miles.

Then the season would happen and Miles' team would compete for a natty and Cutcliffe's team would be excited when they won more than 7 games in a season

Even everyone's new beloved Cignetti's contract is for six years (seven now that the automatic extension happened)

Whole lot of distractions

His bungling of the Derrius Guice assault was a black eye for the university too.

Ultimately cost F. King Alexander his job (rightfully so)

I'm shocked no one remembers how bad things were. I remember Miles running the same QB block plays with Jordan Jefferson that he used with Jamarcus Russell - only Jamarcus was 6 foot 7 and 300 lbs and Jefferson... wasn't. Jordan would get stomped

Looks like a rerun of Matt House as DC.

In what universe? The defense isn't particularly great but it's demonstrably better in almost every statistic compared to last year, and we have the potential to finish this season with the same record as last year, only with vastly inferior quarterback and wide receiving corps. I get it's not popular on this board, but we're really not regressing nearly as much as everyone claims.

You can barely even see that there’s a tiger in there because of all the metal. They could throw a stuffed tiger in a cage and parade it around and no one would notice.

I'm not a giant PETA supporter either but this is so ridiculous - does seeing a tiger get paraded around the field in a trailer for 2 minutes REALLY make the game experience better for anyone?

Lonzo Ball has his own page on USA Today's website devoted to news about him. What do you all think the bigger factor behind that is - him playing in the second largest market in the country (if so, where are Kuzma's and Ingram's sites) OR his family acting like a bunch of asshats?
Bigger market exposure can't be ignored but in the NBA personality is everything.

Someone refresh my memory - was the sports media in general THIS salty when the Cavs (another small market team) got the first overall pick in the draft three times over four years?

All the talking heads conveniently forget that LeBron James and Kevin Durant played in small markets and seemed to make it work just fine. I get playing in the big market opens you up for hella more opportunities, but the good players will always get their fair share.
Zion shouldn't take Anthony Davis into account - no offense to AD but I think his lack of endorsements, etc. come less from him playing in a small market and more from him having the personality of a wet towel and looking uncomfortable in interviews

Cowherd's right - because Gregg Williams (who he praised the other day) installed a bounty system 8 fricking years ago our receivers should get the fricking piss knocked out of them on every play

and did he forget that Belichick was taping other teams practice? And that the NFL actually proved that one definitively? But Belichick is honorable... :lol:

I agree the lawsuits are dumb but frick Golic. He's a Notre Dame homer that tries to end arguments he's losing with this "I know more because I played meaningful ball" shite.

I was so glad when the New Orleans ESPN affiliate decided to pick up T Bob and Jordy Culotta's show instead
