Kyle Turley is certainly a homer for SDSU. That said it seems he just cannot get over his issues with Hoke and how he apparently (per Hurley) left SDSU.
Props to MVictors for a great find... Audio Clip from his appearance on Rome. I agree with Greg, how odd that he also gives big props to Steve Fisher in the same interview.
Alright, a few things for
I'm going to defend a couple
I'm going to defend a couple of Turley's assertions here (can't believe I just wrote that).
1. Boise is about 500 miles from the coast, which makes them about as West Coast as Ohio State is East Coast. The distances out west are deceiving.
2. SDSU has huge potential. SoCal is a really talent-rich area, SDSU is a pretty good school, has hot coeds, and is in a great location. They play in the Mountain West, which just lost its three best teams and added Boise State. If they can retain a solid coach, there's no reason they can't become the next Utah. Geographically speaking, there's a lot more potential in San Diego than in Utah.
If you consider Idaho to be west coast
you might as well consider Michigan to be east coast...a lot of people on the west coast do.
WIN
This is the post of the day. Hilarious because its 100% true, even more hilarious because it's offensive to everyone that lives in Michigan.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
That guy is beyond lame.
That guy is beyond lame. Hoke came for the money? Hey Kyle, I think you took a few too many shots to the head during your career. USC and UCLA are jokes and SDSU will start to dominate...yah right
I was wondering if Rome would stand up for Hoke, but he was too busy kissing the butt of his guest.

We're not arrogant, we're just better.
cant talk about jim rome
and how much he sucks without posting this video.
Coach Hoke once told me that a moral victory is still a (expletive deleted) loss.
Thank you. So, so
Thank you. So, so much.
Jim Rome has always come off to me as a terrible person who deserved five seconds with the people he tears apart, even when I was in middle school and guys were all mocking each other anyway.
Btw, fellow Cardinal here--heading back down to Stu West in a couple of weeks.
hell
yeah, that was my dorm. air conditioning!!! They put me up in a storage room that had a support beam right through the middle of it, but I had 2X the room as everyone else. floor 6
Coach Hoke once told me that a moral victory is still a (expletive deleted) loss.
That's hilarious
I've never seen that. I especially like the part at the end where Rome is screaming like a baby for help while Everett is kicking his ass.

I love Rome. If people actually gave him a chance and listened to him consistently, I think their perception would change.
Jim Rome
is an asshat! End of story

I had the...pleasure of
I had the...pleasure of listening to Rome a LOT when I was delivering pizzas. He's an asshat with a schtik that has stuck for some unknown reason. A successful asshat, but nonetheless...
Heard that
Heard that interview this afternoon, soon after Stu from Manhattan who is a U of M Grad I believe sends an email to Rome and completely destroys Turley's argument. It's unbelievable how bitter Turley still is about Hoke leaving, then again he is a lunatic. Rome was kissing Turley's ass but said he definitely understood why Hoke left.
HAIL TO THE VICTORS VALIANT, HAIL TO THE CONQUERING HEROES!
Big Deal...
Turley was an asshole as a player; now, he's just an asshole. Here's a link to his "signature moment."

he's a douche
but if Zach Strief went after an idiot doing that to Brees, I probably wouldn't have a huge problem with it until the second minute of idiot wrestling
Kyle Turley is clearly trying
Kyle Turley is clearly trying to make an example on behalf of the players association of the NFL of why their members need lifetime medical coverage for head injuries.
what else can truly be said here
Dude. Thanks for the STRONG TAKE. Rack him.

No radio. Nothing of value.
Rack him. He's in the running

I did not believe it was possible to be that much of a homer for Aztec football......

Didn't Hoke *accept* the job, before any
contract specifics were determined, like $$$????
Yep
Yep, but that's one of those pesky fact thingys that can ruin a good argument.
There's a thread about this
There's a thread about this on Bucknuts and I almost paid the $99 to join so I could respond to some of those idiot Ohio fans who are calling Hoke a liar and classless. As if they're completely unaware of what just happened to their program and what Tressel actually did, not what some crazy former player accused him of doing on some sportstalk show.
Two words
Roid. Rage.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
I'd suggest that maybe we can
I'd suggest that maybe we can give Kyle Turley a break here, and just ignore his opinion on the matter - he, literally, has significant mental problems, and is on his way to CTE due to extended head trauma.
Maybe we can find someone in complete possession of their faculties to ridicule.

I am shocked
that Kyle Turdley don't know shi.......

Have had many dealings with Turley
One of the biggest jerks you could ever meet in your life. A real loser and everyone on the Saints knew he was roided up. There is a video of him leaving the lockerroom after one game and purposely running into a sportswriter, like some childish playground bully, because he didn't like the absolute truths the writer printed about him. He's just a complete idiot and it's best to ignore anything he says. Irrelevant to the real world.
Agreed. Turley flamed out of
Agreed. Turley flamed out of the NFL and has no revelance there. Now he keeps trashing Hoke because it gets him some attention from the SDSU fanbase and the national media pays attention because Hoke is coaching at a prestigious school.
Turley is the problem here. He's trashing a former SDSU coach who left them in a better place than they were and a solid replacement by all announces (Hoke's DC).
Rome must be getting desperate...
to have such an asshat like Kyle Turdley on his show. The guy isn't even rational. C'mon. There must be better guests he can get on his show than that.

Between the steroids and the repeated head trauma
Turley is going to end up a very sad case. He will not live to be an old man.
Kyle Turley
Needs to shut up. Hoke left for his dream job. He turned SDSU around.

FOR REPLYIN IN TEH WRONG PLACE
The world looks better through maize mirror tint.
Alright, a few things for Turley:
-Brady Hoke didn't come to Michigan for money.
-What conference is SDSU in? Let's not be overdramatic in terms of their potential.
-The BSU of the west coast? I suppose it's not incorrect but I would consider Boise generally located on the west coast
-USC is all of a sudden a joke in comparison to SDSU? Sorry, but it will take years for that to happen.
-Uh, SDSU didn't make it to the Final Four. For being such an outspoken Alumn, I would have thought you would pay more attention. They lost two rounds before that.
