Absolutely flawless adaptation of a great Jerzy Kosinsky book. Peter Sellers was IMHO one of the most talented actors of the 20th century. Jack Warden as the president is priceless.
How about: Mad Mgazine's Up the Academy? - so good that Ron Liebman actually asked to have his name taken off the credits. Also Ralph Macchio pre-KK and the Outsiders.

At 13th an L NW is ripe for a hostile takeover (it's a Mizzou lean right now).
Tremendous tap (of course) and bottle selection (High Life in glass, e.g), lots of TVs and really good food. Would love to see it flip. Did I mention the 40 whiskey choices?

and thought being outside the 50 comment attention threshold (and during Friday Happy Hour) might allow it to slip in unnoticed. Damn you, Timmmaay and your bloodhound-like senses.
Give the young fella' a break rather than analyzing his psychological stability or second guessing his loyalties.. Having a bunch of middle aged booster/ fan-boy types salivating over him and scrutinizing his every move just exacerbates the creepiness.
So goes the wonderful world of recruiting. One more reason to hate the spectacle that is NSD.
College athletics, as currently constituted, suffer from an academic integrity problem. At issue is the fact that, from an "on-the-field" standpoint, using equivilent academic admission and retention standards for the general student population and student-athletes alike would disadvantage the schools with the most stringent requirements. The simplified reason is that the potential pool of admittable athletes would be much smaller (though there are more confounding factors than that alone).
On the other hand, one can make that argument that athletic "talent" is equivilent (as a commidity or capital) to academic prowess. As such, it should be allowed to be traded for scholarships, academic supports and the opportuntiy to compete. This is sort of how it works nowadays.
One possible solution (assuming most of us here would like to see Michigan compete at the highest levels of athletic competition) is not unlike the one suggested in the article. Perhaps, similar to European Club sports clubs, colleges could "sponsor" teams. (I'd root for a Michigan sponsored team no differently than I root for a home town squad). Academically qualified players could be given a choice to "play school" if they wanted to do so. Those less academically inclined could choose to receive alternate schooling or vocational training. Still others could choose to merely compete - no school required. Just impose an age/eligibility range. If a kid values a Michigan/Stanford/Podunk-U education over another, let that factor into his or her recruiting decisions.
Of course, none of this would contribute to a level playing field among the schools - though it's not as if one exists today - but it would introduce a modicum of "agency" for the athletes without imposing a system that encourages schools to cheat.*
M&BW's comment is generally correct. I've not done empirical research to confirm this, but anecdotally, I suspect few head coaches and coordinators come up in the ranks via the RB coaching role, which is typically oriented toward recruiting and player relations. Interestingly (and sadly, in many ways) it is one of the few coaching jobs in which minority coaches are not proportionally underrepresented.
It has been too long. I recall some really fun times going to random sporting events during my undergrad years. They were typically free to students. I wonder if that is still the case for the non-revenue sports.
running a number of schemes and blitz packages, it would be nice to see a little "take what the defense gives you" run from a solid base of inside zone. This means the ability to coach DG into making good checks at the LOS may have as much impact on the RB and OL success as anything else. By most accounts, this is Nuss's forte.
Edit: re-reading that, I sure crammed a lot of acronyms in there.
Tom Herman previously was successful in Ames, so it isn't impossible to think that Mangino can be as well. Paul Rhodes is a tremendous recruiter (for Ames, anyway) and extremely well respected (in addition to being a really good guy). Even though Mangino made some mistakes at Kansas, he should be able to stay under the radar up in the booth for ISU. I'll be rooting for them.
by most accounts, are the only legitmate programs in regard to revenue sport athletes carrying their academic water. Considering all of the other incredible demands at Army/Navy/Air Force, it's all the more amazing that these squads are even remotely competitive.

Let's all band together to send JH a great big MAZEL TOV when he signs his shiny BLUE $49M contract.

The thing that really scares me is that SDSU is pinned down deep in our world with an O-line that was recruited by... well, you know.

In a thread on coaching shakeups, nobody chimed in with the ubiquitous suggestion of swapping Fred Jackson for Mike Hart/Ty Wheatley?
Sheesh...This board is getting soft.

This can't be real, can it?

Looking forward to chicken skin graphics with blood spatters.
Like you might find in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
Looking good, Billy Ray!
inane and inflammatory, but the depth to which some posters sank in this instance is nearly unfathomable.
Are you available for other copy? I use editors for academic writing, too.
