"If this really took place in the governor's mansion, and if the governor and other non-football people make a decision, as a coach, that's an alarm," Meyer said.

Who does he think made the decision to fire Franklin. Reports I saw said it was the big money donors. Does Meyer consider these "football people"?

It's no excuse for Kelly mailing it in, but Woody blocking him from firing Davis is chickenshit if true

From what I understand, Kelly's problems went far beyond Davis. He was an awful fit and truly an unlikable person.

I would have posted this if not already posted. I don't think anyone sat down the entire game and there was a constant roar. At least, that's the way I remember it. Much more corporate now.

Worded another way: I'm coaching to not lose the game. With our defense this philosophy might work against some opponents but not all. We'll see.

The argument has always been that it is no worst than alcohol

And that argument would be incorrect for many reasons. For one, small amounts of some alcoholic drinks, such as wine, show some health benefits. But more obviously, most people that consume alcohol do not do so to get drunk every time they drink it. A person smoking weed do so for one reason, to get high.

Smoke had a pretty impossible task of following Bertman.

You are correct, no way he could continue winning championships at the rate Skip did. But to say it was impossible to match Skip's success belies the question.Remind me, how many did he win in his five year tenure. Extra point question: How many games did he win in his two trips to the College World Series. Hint: 0,0.

Enough with he threw him out too early

So if you break the rule early let him get away with it. Announcer making a fool of himself.

Yeah, right. First strike to Jones has been called a ball to Arkansas consistantly. Also called a strike to Braswell.

This ump is really bad. Did they bring this guy in to screw LSU?

Honestly every manufacturer should offer 10/100000 now on powertrain. Per consumers report 95% of new engines hit 100000. The only reason they do not, is because dumbasses keep buying worthless extended warranties, thus profit.

Not a dumbass when an electronics issue can cost 5k-10k or more. How much is an a/c compressor repair?
