    He’ll have to have another season, or maybe even 2, like he had last year before he’s shown the door. At least until there’s a viable upgrade available. So flies Dayton.

    ^ I had that initial thought too, then realized with Miami weather, it’s just an extravagance, IF you’re not factoring in the keeping up with the Joneses angle. In the past, it was far from a necessity, or even an important ‘want to have’.

    On the very rare occasion Miami has weather that’s bad enough to keep them from practicing outdoors, there’s a good chance it’s bad enough to keep them from practicing indoors.

    But then, nowadays, it does matter per image and the arms race thingy.

    As they should have.

    The findings in the report should not come as a surprise to those who tracked who Briles ‘recruited’ and what he was willing to look past.

    The Sam Ukwuachu case sealed my opinion of Briles, the man. Boise State even warned Baylor about the kid, and told them not to take him in. And that case was certainly not an aberration of the goings on at Baylor.

    Id be curious as to the odds on Terry Henderson getting a sixth year of eligibility.

    Slim, very slim, since he burned one of his five years with a voluntary transfer.

    I’m sure Yow has something to do with hit.

    Rome once ruled the known world. Because they no longer do doesn’t mean they once did not.

    So because some choose not to exercise a rightful freedom towards what you feel is its full advantage, remove the freedom?

    Brilliant.

    You might want to expound upon that thought a little more, and reconsider what you are really saying. Well, assuming you’re not a millennial twit, that is, and I know you are not.

    I don’t think he was going to start at BSU this year.

    He wasn’t. Mark Rypien’s kid (true freshman last year) Wally Pipp’d him.

    I have no problem with kids being able to transfer if they so choose. As BJD referenced, they are not chattel. The wisdom of such decisions, however, is a different matter all together and a case by case situation.

    Excellent points! Easier to learn it when you can watch and talk to someone who already knows it. Just helped reduce the learning curve, and that should be a big plus for our QBs.

    That, but more importantly, player run workouts. The NCAA limits when, and for how many hours, coaches can meet with players, especially in the off season.

    Finley will be a huge asset in the bringing the other QB’s, RBs, and WRs up to speed with terminology and the offense during the summer, when coaches are prohibited from running, or even attending, workouts.

    Even if he never plays a down, this is a HUGE positive. Worst case is we just added a coach to the player ranks.

    With the bonus of no NCAA restrictions.

    Tip for the day: When it’s always someone else, then maybe, just maybe, it’s actually you.

    On another note, but maybe not…

    Taxes, sun rising in the east, and lil Rickie making new friends. Some things you can always count on.

    I do not know if the actual video at the time was 48 Hours video, or an inclusion of a local news post game. If it was the former, there is a chance it exists, somewhere. If it was the later, there’s slim to none, as such video was not saved and archived in those days. It was simply taped over.

    It was in response to a post-game question about whether he shot the jump hook better with his left hand or his right hand.

    True that. And he was with two teammates at the time.

    Texpack is referring to a “48 Hours” report that aired in March of 1988, just as all the stuff was breaking on Valvano’s program. review of program

    Except “all that stuff… breaking on Valvano’s program” didn’t break in 1988. That didn’t happen till, I think, the spring of 1990.

    “amusing and insightful” huh? Oops.

    It was as some said above, part of a tv newsmag (think it was 48 hours) coverage of Duke and NC State leading up to the game. Not coverage of the game itself, but of the programs, and by extension, college basketball in general. There was, of course, slight digs at State is subtle bias references and contrasts to Duke.

    Don’t expect changes in the head coaching positions at.. Louisville any time soon – as in, like, the next freaking decade.

    That’s a joke, right? Petrino’s never locked down anywhere.

    No idea if he’s going to excel at coaching or not (if he even chooses that path) but I bet if he was the coach the SFN spring game thread would have more than 3 replies.

    The lack of traffic on the SFN site has a lot more to do with the SFN site than who is, or isn’t, the head football coach at NC State.

    Not sure why you wouldn’t want PR to be our Head Coach.

    For the same reason Fonzie was a terrible auto mechanics teacher when he first started at Jefferson High.
