Let's see if we can post that a few more times?

I wouldn't be surprised if he walked out naked and just set his junk on the podium for 20 minutes of silence followed by "any questions?"

Hope Golson is ready I'm less worried about Golson's readiness than about Kelly's being intelligent enough to play him - or anyone but Rees for that matter. Right. Golson would have been a heisman candidate if only his coach had been smart enough to play him. That might be a slight exaggeration of my position. At no point have I even alluded to the opinion he should've played this year (and he shouldn't have). It was intentionally exaggerated. Yes.

Should this be in green? He's a true freshman. You honestly think I believe he'd be a heisman candidate? You've been reading too many imb posts. The Golson love from ND fans has been a little thick Of course. If he sucks, ND is fucked for the foreseeable future. ETA which isn't to say he'll have to be the starter next year. Hendrix could win the job in the spring. But Golson is the great unknown, has the tools for Kelly's offense, and there are rumors of how high the coaches are on him.

I tend not to believe a word of this Shopping implies actively asking others what they'd offer for him. Listening to offers or even negotiating is not actively shopping. So it's probably true but not at all in conflict with reports over the last couple weeks.

That sounds like a nickname for very popular college girl.

He ranked mizzou too. No credibility.

Boy was that a horrific list. Here's a much better list, that manages to avoid putting half the ACC in the Top 25 or Kansas State in the Top 15. http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/1/11/2697091/2012-college-football-top-25-rankings-preseason Is the list better? I don't know. He mentioned how fun ND would be on defense (true) and pointed to LBs, which, out #5, is not an exciting group. It's either lazy or he doesn't know his [expletive] (or both). Still maybe better than ESPN's list.

ND extends Kelly a couple years thru 2016.

Aren't they effectively clearing spots for lineman (except Armstead, who is a lineman). I figured USC was letting these guys go bc they have only 75 scholarships and need more big bodies.

ESPN puts out the 2012 top 25 (surprised they waited 12 hours). ND has 2, 5, 9, and 11. Better find a QB quick.

I've been giving a tigers fan friend a bunch if [expletive] about Theo bending over the entire org in this trade. Don't make me eat crow, Theo.

Uniquely strong?

How is TT's boy with the glove?

Probably. He ain't dumb.

This isn't a discussion we've had nor one we're going to have. The handful (and there have been very few) disgusting posts that have blindly blamed the woman have largely been ignored or forgotten. Let's keep it that way.

Right. But LSU's loss was to a really good team. Neutral or away doesn't matter as much when the quality of opponents is so great. I don't really care enough. My comment was as much a shot at ISU as anything else. I know they were decent this year, but I've spent my whole life disliking them, so I'll take shots where I can. Besides, this is a debate about who finishes 2nd. Meh.

bc LSU didn't go to Ames and come home with a L. OSU should have been in the title game instead of Bama, but I'm not willing to totally overlook LSU's regular season b/c they had one [expletive] game at the end. I really despise the BCS system.

We need to sticky a good backloading contracts discussion so we don't have to have it every few months.

I don't understand the question. It's common knowledge that Theo was a RS fan before he was hired by them and I would think it's pretty obvious that Santo and Wood have (had) an emotional attachment to the Cubs. I'm not knocking Theo, I'm just pointing out that he has a job to do with the Cubs and he's doing it without any sentimental attachment with the team. The question is where is your evidence that he'll only act in "all business, no sentiment" terms with the Cubs? Signing Wood is about the only action he's had that would be higher on the sentiment scale than business sense scale and they said a week ago that they would get it done. Unless he's torn Ronnie's flag off the pole, I'm not sure what evidence you've got that he's going to be all cold hearted here. What's the point of this discussion? I think what he's trying to say is that a new boss is not going to be sentimental toward employees that he just met. I didn't see where he said that Epstein will "always" be cold hearted regarding the Cubs. Maybe someday Robert California will be sentimental toward the employees of Dunder Mifflin but he's not likely to be sentimental beginning on day 1. There are multiple points. The most obvious is Theo isn't going to not try to sign Wood, even at a little more than he's worth, b/c he's "all business." It doesn't take 10 years on the job to realize Wood's importance to fans.

21 going on 32. Kid has LeBron disease (not that it's a bad thing to have). Tell that to Oden That's a different disease.

Did we really need the whole CV? I'm hearing that Dirk Koetter, offensive coordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars, may be named AU's offensive coordinator later this week. Don't misunderstand my post questioning the content of your post as interest.
