LOL! You think they're hiring a coach today!

Nobody picks BPA in a vacuum. That's just an old wives tale...

Sounds like the search firm they hired was striking out...

Ribbit...

Or an assumption. And you know what those are like...

Yes, but right now--when he's trying to establish a program--the HC has to be the head recruiter. Oats is very good at it. Once the program is up and running, he can delegate to Hodgson, who's specialty is at the junior college level.

Nate's a great recruiter, so who knows. Trendon Watford has an offer from Duke but seems to be leaning toward 'Bama after meeting with Nate.

Edited for brevity...

He's been busy locking down his 'Bama players, especially Kira Lewis Jr. , recruit Trendon Watford, and poaching Ray Hawkins from U.B. . Looks like that process is done now... https://fanbuzz.com/college-basketball/ncaa-sec/nate-oats-bama-recruiting/

This is why I no longer spend much time on pre-draft media coverage. It's just bird cage filler...

Lol. A real heavy hitter of a sports journalist on that story... Crissy Froyd is a current student residing in Spring, TX. She intends to transfer to LSU to major in Mass Communications, and pursue a career in sportscasting.

He definitely sounds like a McD kind of guy... https://www.colts.com/news/colts-at-the-combine-whoever-drafts-christian-wilkins-is-getting-a-culture-chang "I just really want teams to realize that if they get me then they're investing in something bigger than just football. They're investing in so much more. The ability I have to not only dominate on the field and be effective on the field, but to also just improve culture — whether it's good, bad, ugly, different, (I’ll) just improve culture,” Wilkins said. “I feel like ultimately I'm the kind of guy you want in the locker room, you want on your team, and you just want on the field with you, because I'm someone who's just extremely committed at being the best at my craft, and to my teammates just being the best player I can be,” Wilkins continued. “That's my goal, and that's what I plan to do on any team that I go to in the NFL."

Original, as well. S.O.S. (Same Old Sully)...

You are correct. They were down 20-0 in the first half, 27-14 in the third and 34-21 in the fourth quarter.

They'll probably try to keep it under $1 billion, which is the "code" Pegs was talking about when he said "Buffalo-style." And good on the NFTA for going a different direction....

Not an issue. There's always enough money in NYS...

According to the Turner Commercial Construction Cost Index, $700 million in 2008 is equivalent to $850 million today. Assuming a new stadium got underway in 2024, that would be about $950 million...maybe less without the retractable roof. Tottenham Stadium cost $850 million pounds or $1.1 billion USD.

I could see a Lucas Oil-type stadium ($700 million to build in 2008) fitting in very well in the Cobblestone District...

I want this guy's jersey, no matter who he plays for....

Orenthal looks good... Better do a DNA test on Henry then...

"We keep beating ourselves, but we're getting better at it..." Kelly must not have got that message--threw 3 TDs, 300+ yards, 126 passer rating. Three fumbles lost and 12 penalties was what killed them... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198611020tam.htm Team Stats BUF TAM First Downs 23 20 Rush-Yds-TDs 19-79-0 32-135-3 Cmp-Att-Yd-TD-INT 29-39-342-3-0 14-24-193-0-0 Sacked-Yards 1-18 3-22 Net Pass Yards 324 171 Total Yards 403 306 Fumbles-Lost 4-3 1-0 Turnovers 3 0 Penalties-Yards 12-102 8-102 Time of Possession 27:48 32:12

No. To be clear, I'm saying a significant portion of the fan base are miserable wretches who just love to complain, whether it be about the Sabres or anything else. To them, whipping boys are necessary, just like food and oxygen...

So, about half the fan base then....

I don't have any draft opinions either. Other than to not listen to pre-draft comments about the draft...
