I'm willing to bet there's an entirely different socio-cultural standard at the strip club/area around the club you went to than the one CleAnthony Early went to, and it has nothing to do with being an athlete.

The problem is we just know absolutely nothing right? I asked about it in the game thread, but last I heard we didn't even know if it was the same knee.

It's not written as "gainful employment close to his market value" right? That is terrible.    Oh, no. I went and looked at it. All of this is crazy well covered. They give specific jobs that are comparable including head coach at any D1 school.

Shoot me a message before any game you need and I'll see what's around. There aren't any good consistent sites anymore. Somewhere like Zunox will almost always have the game but is on the worse side for ads. With ublock on chrome I have no real problems since I know the correct buttons to hit and close the ads, but they can be really annoying otherwise and the quality is usually on the lower end.

This team is really testing my ability to feel embarrassed.   I'm so glad this is on in the middle of a work day.

So, who watched the Baylor v. UNC bowl game last night?   For those who didn't, Baylor rushed 84 times, passed 18, and punted 0. Those stats tell you most of what you need to know (it was incredible). And actually, I think the pass stat took some of the rushes because they were short tosses.   Each drive, Baylor would run just one of a few plays that involved running the ball, gaining 6 yards, and doing it again. And you just reached a point where you were yelling at UNC "You know what they're going to do! Just stop them!" but every single time they would break through and keep moving down the field. Right up until the final two minutes you just kept waiting for them to finally get what was happening.   That's how I've felt these last few minutes of this game. Rutgers is just walking over and laying it up. And you just want us to do something to stop it. But, it happens again. And you think, "there is no way we can let it happen this time at least" and it happens again.   So frustrating.

I've only seen him standing with the rest of the team.   Also, we look terrible. Yogi and Troy are killing us.

I can't help but think the same. He hasn't been on any draft boards I've seen and it's already a fairly deep draft at DT.    Since the most important thing in career length and ability to earn over time in the NFL is when you're picked, it seems like a weird decision without really promising news for him.

Stu are you a PI attorney? I'm insurance defense so... if you are we'll have to be mortal enemies.

Which knee? Did anyone say? Did he experience a pathological worsening of his prior condition?

Well, there can't be a "bunch", the arena only fits like 40 people.   Just like any other business, until my name is on the side of the building I still answer to someone.   Other than entire days off, which I still have to use PTO for, I make my own schedule though. And, as long as I don't have any appointments I can take whatever days off and work from home when I need to. I mean, 7 pm games are on at 4 pm here, so I have to leave early all the time.   And, even when making my own hours, there is usually something I will check-in with and do outside of work. That's the biggest downside, you have to be prompt on a lot of things and can't just ignore them because you have better things to do with your day. I probably have about an hour's worth of work to get done today on my day off. 

Yeah, I had to use the rest of my PTO by the end of the year too.

MSU went in there as 3 point dogs, so it wasn't too unexpected. But man, they spanked 'em. Izzo had nothing.

His glasses game is on point in this thread too. In case anyone wondered.   RB/QB? We can run the Wildcat!

Almost game time! Just like, 12 more hours!   How does everyone feel about this one? Personally, I'm sick and tired of playing these cupcakes. I don't know who keeps scheduling these sub-200 teams but they have go-- what? Really? A conference opponent? Rutgers? Oh boy, that's embarrassing.

Dang-a-rang heroes! Rutgers has so much history that wikipedia has it's own "History of Rutgers" page.   That's super historical.   History University - 68 Making history every day, but not so much lately. I mean, maybe like, in academics, but not where it counts. On the basketball court. - 81   That second one is Indiana.

Great move on the glasses. I instantly thought he had high football IQ with absolutely no proof.   I swear this guy was my editor on Journal.   Welcome aboard.

Whooo! Finished out in the top 30!

That 7-year-old has great basketball IQ.   And that athleticism!   Plus, kid is like 4'6" and I think he's still growing. Probably could get another few inches at least. Maybe up to 25.

Now down 48-33 with 14:24 left in the game.   Iowa has their number. MSU is drowning.

Baylor's offense is crazy good.

No way. Can you imagine trying to ever get rid of Alford? He'd maintain constant middle of the pack finishes so as never to upset anyone enough to get rid of him and has enough personal connections to stick it out even against the people who strive to be something other than mediocre. At least I'm sure we'll get rid of Crean sooner or later.   My point was just that Crean's contract isn't so outrageous. It's just a normal head coach's contract at a big school.

Money in a suitcase is so unbelievably tacky.

Steve Alford had a 10.4 million dollar buyout on his first contract at UCLA after accomplishing... nothing for them.   Buzz Williams gets paid his regular salary for the entire contract if he's fired, making his buyout 18.2 million the first year, 15.4 the second, 12.6 the third, etc. If Crean had the same contract, his buyout would be 16 million right now.   That's all I can think of off-hand. Big buyouts are pretty standard business in limited high-skill positions.

Love reading that you don't expect Feeney to leave. He will be an absolute beast if he stays.
