Is spelling as difficult as you're making it?

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 04:07:35 PMMan, the Bills and Steelers are both decidedly mediocre.

The NFL has a whole lot of mediocre this year.

Say what you will about him but John was highly efficient shooter with a disregard for kids lives (Malone impregnating a 13 year old).

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 04:20:04 PMIt will also be the players. A hypothetical here...  Why wouldn't you leave if you are Demarius Owens? You were a top 100 player who can't get playing time on a bad team. And you have two years left to salvage your career.

Maybe, but he'd also probably be leaving a lot of money on the table based on how Marquette is rumored to structure the pay.

He's not going to get anything lucrative in the portal based on how he's played. It will certainly be interesting to see what some guys decide to do.

Caedin, Tre, Damarius and possibly Sean at the top of the list.

It's really not as difficult as you are (Jay Bee peer edit) making it seem.

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 03:42:27 PMIt makes a lot of sense given what Shaka entered this season with.

If he wasn't willing to hit the portal this year, why would he next year? I hope he does, but I'm thinking he'd prefer Sean Jones stay than have to go to the portal and get another PG.

Wut? You're really struggling with this one.

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 03:51:21 PMSo you think athletic departments should change the requirements for registration to impact just a "relative handful" of students? Just to solve a timing problem with the hiring of football coaches?

Yeah, that's not happening.

I don't care whether they do it or not. But the primary reason a coach like Kiffin (or the guys at Memphis, Tulane, North Texas, etc.) would leave their teams with games to play is because of the recruiting and portal timeline. And if the athletic departments/college administrations perceive that as a problem - and maybe they don't or they don't care - it's well within their authority to solve it. I don't think allowing exceptions (not changing requirements for the entire school) for 12-15 kids - on campuses of 30,000+ students - is nearly as difficult as you're implying. Schools already make exceptions for athletes as it is. This would be just another.

Dominoes falling fast.

Florida hires Jon Sumrall from Tulane.
Auburn hires Alex Golesh from USF.
Ole Miss promotes DC Pete Golding to permanent HC.

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 04:12:13 PMI hope there is some turnover, preferably with Hamilton first...but if they already gave him the delusional idea that he is good enough to start here...why would he leave next year when he will be getting paid more.

I want to believe we will cut ties with those that are clearly incapable, but I'll have to see it first.

It will also be the players. A hypothetical here...  Why wouldn't you leave if you are Demarius Owens? You were a top 100 player who can't get playing time on a bad team. And you have two years left to salvage your career.

The chiefs are going to get into the playoffs and there's not a single team in the AFC I trust to not choke against them.
