do we have a scholly available? if not, suggest we don't consult petrino on how to handle the situation.

Mind if I connect the cables for good connectivity?

sure it doesn't bother you, because there is not much talent coming from bama. they have to get it somewhere.

Don't get me wrong, defense is important, but it sure seems offense is where you have to be elite in today's CFB. Even the best defenses seem to give up a lot of yards and points more often than in the past. My thinking is, With the players we get, as long as we can have better than average quarter back play and top defensive recruits continually in the pipeline, coach Steele and O should have great success no matter what questions exist swirling about their past coaching stops. They could essentially rewrite history. This hire is looking better and better to me.

i'm purposefully becoming numb to this. i thought for sure we'd hire either clancy or shoop. whatever happens now i think i could be a little less disappointed if orgeron becomes a member of the staff.

"Seems to fit the mold of what Les thinks a QB should be. a scary thought!"

that is a scary thought!

This...and his backs are punished everyday, probably more than at most other programs, during practice. i gather his practices are brutal.

not true. miami has sucked for years and usc only in the last couple of years with kiffen. do yo know the background of usc fans? check out their tuition. these are entitlement babies. i'm not sure about miami (and don't care), could be either thugs or the wealthy, they have both in the area.

Let's land the dude first.

i agree with most and the part i'm not to enthused about isn't worth mentioning. my feelings are that if a big time high school player decides to stay home and represent louisiana, that person will always be a celebrity to the masses once he moves back to his area of the state. he will almost never have to buy another meal at a restaurant for his remaining days.
however, once the recruit who leaves louisiana for another team, especially one that is a major rival of the a louisiana school, he'll still be a celebrity in his circle of friends, but he will be picking up the bill. in louisiana, we put our football heros on pedestals to show appreciation. probably moreso than about any other state.
they may think this is a rather small thing, but when you think your college career lasts 3-4 years and the rest of your life expectency is about 50 years...that's a lot of free meals he will not have to spend his (and his families) money on. and he'll always feels like a king to family and friends.
