We don’t really pay Venables’ “get back” coach $400K (that I know of), but it seemed funny to me at the time and the right number in My Perfect World.
Vegas is mind-blowing even with big numbers, still astounded after all these years, our number -39.5, against a league opponent, nuts.
We are right on it now, don’t suspect Petrino will be fired this year, but consider his seat warm going forward.
Epic beatdowns are punishing on a fan base.
CLEM pulling a CLEM vs. WVU and then less-unpredictably vs. ALA in the GA dome are permanently configured in the clemfan hardware.
But the party has started in Def Valley (non-bayou)...Dexter Lawrence’s turn to punch in a short yardage TD, a role ordinarily filled by top-5 CLEM player of all time Christian Wilkins.
Christian is a smart guy, real smart, like up for awards, I forget, but also a rare leader.
His taking TLAW to breakfast shortly after KB left and saying that he, and the D, had his back is now the stuff of legend, as ordinary an act as that might appear.
As a guy who still worried that there could be a racial division over Dabo’s decision, that move was reassuring to say the least. It could have derailed a less-successful or different group of kids, maybe, or maybe the kids don’t think that way anymore.
Christian Wilkins doesn’t, and maybe he’s just smart and just a leader, but I really doubt it.
