I was wondering what was taking him so long to chime in

« on: August 23, 2018, 01:43:02 PM »AD Gene Smith gets a 17 day suspension from August 31 to September 16.I wondered about this part. When I heard Gene Smith actually called Urban Meyer about the Zach Smith issues, it didn't sound like Meyer could be held culpable for that part.
I think the suspension was as much or more about all the other stuff that came out afterward--photos of penises, etc. None of that would have made news if they had fired the guy earlier. The good old boy club has it's place I guess -- but it really backfired here.

“two sources connected to the investigation said the likely recommendation to university President Michael V. Drake is a suspension for Meyer.”
The report also said “Drake and the board could also opt for a “time served” punishment since Meyer has been removed from football activities for more than two weeks.”

I was confused by OSU President saying yesterday "it will be finished when it's finished." I thought they gave themselves a deadline?
It's actually the perfect time to state that they didn't find anything worth firing him for. The DJ Durkin story is already taking most of the attention away.

At first I thought you meant one thing, but then I realized you meant something completely different.

"8. University of California of the South... I want Darnold to be readily replaceable"
Very generous of you to start us out at #8. That could turn out to be a reasonable expectation.
2016 team was 10-3 with a bowl win
2017 team was 11-3 with a Pac 12 championship
I think this team should turn out to be somewhere close to that. I think Darnold was a talented guy but reckless. I don't expect QB to be a problem area for us this year. But there are other unknowns as well.

Just read the ESPN article. Sounds like it was definitely an old school approach... I think there was a movie on Bear Bryant's early coaching and it sounds a bit like that--where they almost want kids throwing up to toughen them up. Just doesn't fit with today's values and then obviously you run the risk of an outlier incident like McNair. A real tragedy there.

USC sells a student athletics package that includes all home games and basketball games for a reasonable price. There is a "student section" that is basically first come first served.

How young those guys all look now. I have not seen that clip in a good many years.
