He may be tired of the grind as well. I believe he has young kids. My experience meeting him a few times is that he's a really nice guy. I'm sorry to see him go - he's someone I'd be happy to have my kid play for.

Also, heard this morning that Lambert Brown is stepping down as head coach at Wayzata. I wondered if there would be a change after two bad years.

Methinks you vastly over estimate the interest in high school football in this state.

Bunch of morons. The bowl in Detroit a few years ago was super fun.

I wish we could play in the Sun Bowl again. Id love to go to that game.

"Lowly" Indiana has Mark Cuban donating now. We better hope Shad Khan doesn't decide to start becoming a whale for Illinois...

Should it though? Or should it literally be the best teams in the tournament, regardless of geographical location in the state? And to address something Ranger692 wrote, why is having close, entertaining games important?

And that might be the single biggest way that moving to the Dome hurt this program. You have a lot of people who never had a great game day experience.

One more win maybe gets you the Music City Bowl over the Pinstripe Bowl or some such thing. Being 8-4 over 7-5 isn't going to matter that much. And I agreed with you that U leadership neglected the revenue sports programs for a long time. I never said they didn't - I just disagree that hiring...

Thank you. Fortune 500 companies aren't buying players. Individual multi-millionaires are. Phil Knight has money because of Nike, and he gives it to Oregon, rather than Nike just giving it.

The pro sports argument is way overblown IMO in terms of recruiting, (and I used to believe it to be true.) I don't believe for a second that a recruit would choose to go to Lincoln or Iowa City because they'd be "the center of attention." Players are choosing where to go based on money...

Of course I agree. It is quite obvious. But I don't agree that just hiring better assistant coaches will do any more than possibly get us 1-2 more wins. I don't think you could drop Nick Saban or Urban Meyer in for PJ with the exact same players and do a lot better. It's about talent, and we...

Yeah, I don't think too many would transfer from Stanford to Texas Tech unless there was life changing money involved, and even then when you look at future earning potential, it might be a stretch.

Do you, or do you not believe that we need considerably more money to pay players?

Imagine actually thinking that this is anything more than Tony Soprano being a waste management consultant. Nobody realistically believes there is any real enforcement going on here. It's still 100% pay to play.

Depends on the offer.

SDSU is ranked 15th. That's not horrible.

Say we freed up a couple million more for coaches but had the exact same players. Maybe, MAYBE we beat Cal. But we weren't going to compete with OSU and Oregon. Maybe be more competitive with Iowa? Ultimately I'd far rather see that money go to buying talent. If the U REALLY, REALLY wants to...

You should probably take your bullshit to the off-topic board.

I didn't mention A&M coming back yesterday, must have been someone else. I was specifically talking about TT having a $50 million payroll.
