It's done, the medals have all been awarded and around the world there are happy people, disappointed people and a whole contingent that didn't even know the winter olympics was a thing. After many dozens of hours spent watching, here is my overview of which of the top 5 medal count victors...

Not to read too much into coaching staff salaries, but I had a couple thoughts after seeing them. Our "assistant coach for offense and QBs" is making a chunk more than our OC. Since I've never really understood Watson's title and we have the complication that Wickline needed a buyout if he...

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2014/01/22/tcu-students-demand-higher-quality-toilet-paper/ Okay, maybe a lot of the team is sneaking in 2-ply - but there are definitely some Frogs that play like they've been using the rough stuff. Coach Strong - please switch us to single ply!

We constantly hear the BS about new playmates in the SEC, that Aggy has moved past Texas and has bigger fish to fry etc. It all sounds great and quotable, but we all know that true rivalry (and hatred) run far deeper. Case in point: Last week work took me to the frozen wasteland of...

In another thread I inadvertently upset a few folks by claiming that we'll be running a "whatever's left in the fridge" offense that would be hard to sell to offensive recruits. Clearly many posters here disagree and feel that CS has a plan in place. Since I don't think anyone here has claimed...

It seems to me that Morris's buyout of $5M to take another coordinator role vs. nothing to become a head coach is a bit absurd. It really shouldn't matter to Clemson what he's leaving for, but I'm sure that during his original negotiations, he refused to give up a chance to become a HC but...

It's the damn online forms. Chad Morris probably ran into the same problem I did - he didn't have a UTEID. As soon as I can get through all the screens I'm sure my resume will be sitting on the top of CS's pile. https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/hr/jobs/nlogon/140107010807

Kirk Bohls was just on Finebaum and explained the narrative, much as we've understood it here from sources. Finebaum finally taking it seriously and sounds convinced and "shocked" that Saban may have still been in play into last week.

I'm restating the obvious for most here, but as CS is filling out his coaching staff, I think it's worth repeating: We pay coaches a big premium because we can't pay the players. If we could just give $500k cash to a 5* recruit, we would. Since we can't, we hire the best coaches money can buy...

I support the hire and don't want to sound like a Red McCombs, but it feels like we took most of what it would have taken to poach a "big name" coach and spent it on CS. No knock on the man, he may be the perfect coach for Texas, but I'm not sure we needed to plunk down $25 million to get him...

Over the last couple days I've been watching Louisville games to get a better appreciation for coach Strong. Generally, I'm impressed. It was nice to see some competent coaching after a season of being tortured by Mack and Applewhite (I've often said I could coach better than someone, this...

Somehow Mack felt like an old tired grampa and Charlie feels like we're reinvigorating the program with youthful energy. But he's only 9 years younger... Let's hope we don't turn Charlie into Mack by 2023.

I've just downloaded the Russel Athletic bowl and am hoping that watching Strong beat down the U will leave me with a bit more optimism in the morning. If anyone else is grasping for some hope it's available by torrent at: http://tenyardtracker.com/

It's been my observation that prop odds posted by betting sites for public events (who's going to win Survivor, who will play the lead in an upcoming movie etc.) are usually only made available when the bookie has really solid information on the outcome. They're rarely wrong and it would seem...
