Cynical

The conservative play calling may have been due to McElroy. Turns out he played with cracked ribs sustained in the SEC Championship game. Linky Also explains why his play was off.

Me? Really, me? I do not know what to say. I am honored and privileged. Thank you, thank you.

Thank you. If Gilbert continues to build off his play tonight, Gilbert will be a star. That will topped when the Bills win the SB. Then we ALL can celebrate. Props to Brown and Longhorns for refusing to quit.

Atlanta did not "give up" on Favre. Favre was a 2nd round pick, made the team as the 2nd stringer, and was traded a year later for a 1st rounder. And while Tampa did give up on Young, Steve was also the starter. And now you are trying to compare those 2 guys to Brohm, who could not even make the active roster. Twice. Brohm may or may not develop, but to bank the future of the team on him would be a HUGE mistake. If he's as good as you claim, he will have no problem beating out some competition for the job.

And Nebraska had Texas beat. Auburn thought the same thing. Their fans even gloated about being able to ruin Ingram's chance at the Heisman. How did that work out? Seems they forgot about McElroy and Richardson.

No. But you do get an "A" for effort.

It doesn't end pretty. There's a nice little plot twist. Steely thinks he gets it in the end, but the "it" wasn't what he was expecting. Oh, by the way: Spoiler alert.

Crap. I missed that one. Who started it? How old is it? What was it originally about? What forum was it under? Details, I NEED details ...

Excellent. Maybe we can start to expect TOUCHDOWNS in about 2 more years.

Preseason game #1: 3 of 10 for 18 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT, 1 Sack Preseaon game #2: 12 of 19 for 83 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT, 0 Sack Preseason game #3: 4 of 5 for 45 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT, 0 Sack Preseason game #4: 20 of 28 for 154 yds., 0 TD, 0 INT, 2 Sack If I did not know better, but based strictly on these stats, the dude looks like the second coming of Trent Edwards. No, thanks.

Try putting a little more thought into it. Here's one thought to start: franchise instability.

She was.

Speaking from personal experience, never say never. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. However, entitlement does not make it correct.

My guess would be Ralph and his age. Kind of hard to ignore the guys age, and not to think of the ramifications if he dies in the middle of your contract.

Not exactly earth shattering (and Harbaugh is correct), but I do not think a university wants to hire somebody that has criticized their program. Linky 1 Linky 2 Then again, throw enough money at him, Harbaugh may admit he was "wrong".

This used to be such a nice thread. All the posters used to care for each other, knew each other, respected each other, and now ... that "element" has started posting in here. This thread is sliding down that hill of disrespectful, rude, obnoxious, loud, and raucous posts. For shame, for shame ...

IIRC, Michigan is not enthralled with Harbaugh at the moment after making a negative comment within the past couple of years. Besides, why would any university grab such a respected level headed coach like Harbaugh when they could just as easily grab the "shuper shpectactular" Mike Leach.

Well. She's a got a nice rack-et.

If he's interested in ever getting another shot at being a HC, he'll listen to ANY coaching offer. As much as I want to think Jauron's HC days are over, the good ole boy network is alive and well, and just love retreads. Both Norv and Wade got a third chance, why couldn't Jauron?

You forgot the sarcasm tags. Or at least give us a smiley. Without them, people will take you seriously, as you can see.

First, the statements released from the university are dated and signed (presumably) on the 12/21 and 12/22. The releases were signed later, after Leach's side released their statements. The statements released from Leach's side were dated 12/25 and 12/31. The 12/25 date is interesting. Leach was not suspended until the 28th. So why does Leach have a signed affidavit dated 3 days before the university took any disciplinary action? And was this affidavit given to the school before the 28th? Second, you're implying the school coerced (in fear of their jobs) the witnesses to sign their affidavits after Leach got fired. That's a pretty strong accusation with almost nothing to back it up accept for speculation on your part. The university may have blundered in handling this matter, but I honestly doubt they are stupid enough to start coercing witnesses to sign statements they did not make. The liability for legal and/or civil ramifications would be huge if they did. What exactly is a "sports medicine garage"? That is probably the only thing people will agree on.

Tuberville might actually be a better coach than Leach.

Actually, would have been fun if Cameron stayed as HC.

Who cares who Lou liked. Now, Nick Saban, Lou's possible cousin, the HC of the Dolphins in 2006, wanted Brees. The mighty Dolphins medical staff would not clear Brees for play.
