For having followed the G5 closely this year, I think the only game that is a legitimate toss-up is Charlotte and Buffalo. Everything else is going to turn up a rout of our conference.

I mean, DCI is a massive industry and summer competitive circuit.

It wasn't just Brune. This had been discussed throughout the year. Littrell even let it be publicly known during and after Reeder's search that he would be calling more of the gameplan. We definitely did not get much of anything that I was looking forward to out of EWU.

This is the one position coach I’ve been concerned with forever... well-

To @Harry original point about new modern staff positions... Everyone knows of the absolute legion within Alabama who are “non-coaching staff” members that are all moneyball and recruiting... what do our peers have going for them in this way? How many “non-coaching staff” are in Highland Park?

Wow- This has to be the classiest exit ever:

YUSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSS

Non-starter. He's likely to -rejoin either Les in Kansas or Coach O in Baton Rouge. In each scenario he will A) be paid way more than we can offer and B) be welcomed with open arms

Woah. Talk about outta left field.

Sehr gut.

There was an article on the Athletic a couple weeks ago about this very thing. Some coaches keep at least one momento from programs they enjoyed their stops at, but only wear them off-season. Others do a complete purge and typically give away most everything to friends ro folks they know around town.

Ya'll are looking in the wrong direction.

I mean, not to go there... but.

Yeah, sorry. This whole "you can only have one, pick" philosophy between offense and defense is just a ridiculous line of argument.

You realize that's a four year-old tweet, yah?

Given the new CFB paradigms of early signing day in December, I fully expect to see coaching change announcements this week. You want to let recruits know that the program is serious and inject some energy into a dismal season at a pivotal time right ahead of our most important signing period. Had we won and kept ourselves in contention for a bowl game, we could have protracted this process through the end of the calendar year. To me the only potential silver lining to yesterday is pushing up the HR processes.

Alright, y’all. The hoodie’s off for Littrell. This is it! Show time!

Langston needs to be long gone as well.

I just love everything Disney. Give it to me, Verizon.

Ya’ll, Venezuela’s on the brink.

Thoroughly reinforcing the notion that you can win the bye.

Alright :cracks knuckles:, time for the annual argument. Considering I'm the one the wrote the SGA legislation that made this change, let's go. Huh. I'm pretty sure my own football following is fairly well documented at this point. I was in Ruston yesterday. Were you? After that referendum result, we took an evaluation of what people took issue with, and at the time it was the coupling format. Well, that's an easy enough switch that is not in and of itself offensive to change. So here's the mindset: if you're not actively inclusive, typically you're passively exclusive. We sought after the former, and after fairly robust debate, compromise, and drama in the Senate that year, it ultimately passed. My good pal @Jason Howeth and I were distinctly at odds over this legislation in our Senate capacities, but I'm happy to say we're still fast friends even now. Though we'll still readily rib each other over politics. 😉 The end-all-be-all is that eight times out of ten, the Homecoming Royalty are an identifying man and woman. But when in those two other times, its just as readily celebrated. And that's an objectively good thing. People have access to a celebration that they did not before.
