    Lesson for Ed Orgeron -- Don't Mess With Karma

    Couldn't decide if this was football or NSNP, but in a close call landed on Football. Either way, it's a lesson in how you should act....though I don't know whether Orgeron has the brain capacity to learn a lesson. Ed Orgeron owes ex-wife $8 million of LSU buyout after Louisiana Supreme Court...

    New Rowing Coach Named

    Somewhat old news, but I didn't see a thread, so I started this one. Looks like Glenn Putyrae was nudged out the door about a month ago. Had the telling, "leaving to spend more time with family" statement from Putyrae. Kind of like, "pursuing other career opportunities," in the business...

    SCOTUS -- Surprisingly Unified, and Surprisingly Bi-Partisan

    I have to confess, a factoid at the end of a WSJ editorial caught me off guard. Following up on some surprising unanimous rulings released last week, it said that 45.8% of SCOTUS rulings in the last term were unanimous. Side Note: SCOTUS terms are not on a calendar year. They run from the...

    Discussion of Gymnastics

    Mrs. Basket Case and I have been to almost all the home meets, and it's been a frustrating year. Our ladies are perfectly capable of scoring with Oklahoma or Florida or anybody. The difference is that they're also maddeningly inconsistent. Last night, we were tied with Florida (#4 in the...

    What Realistic Changes Would You Make To The CFB Playoff?

    It's the offseason, so I thought I'd throw this out. There's been a lot of quite justified criticism of the College Football Playoff. So if you were benevolent dictator what realistically achievable changes would you make? I say "realistically achievable" in that I personally would prefer 8...

    Opinions on SofaBaton?

    Reminder: Cute Attempts to Circumvent Profanity Filters Are Treated As Profanity

    Hasn't come up as much as it used to, but members who should know better still occasionally post profanity. Just a reminder: Cute attempts to circumvent the profanity filters with numbers and/or symbols are treated just as if you typed the word out. To my mind, they're actually worse because...

    Are Any Early Entries Going Through Bowl Practice?

    I know they can't actually play, but do we have any early entry players practicing with the team ahead of the Reliaquest Bowl? If so, does anyone know who they are? Just looking forward to a less tumultuous next year.

    SCOTUS Might Review A Bad Decision From 2005

    Saw this on the Jonathan Turley website -- a really good place to find information distilled into the main points. Eminently Overdue: The Supreme Court Considers New York Case That Could Overturn the Infamous Kelo Decision – JONATHAN TURLEY I've long thought that the 2005 Kelo decision was...

    Whatever Happened to Brandon Avalos? We Have The Answer

    Couldn't decide if this was Football or NSNP. Went with NSNP because, other than the fact that the subject played at Alabama, football really doesn't factor in much. Some of you may remember Brandon Avalos, a quarterback during the Shula era, and also the stepson of Rodney Orr, owner of...

    Guys, We’re Serious. Please Review Sticky On Misuse Of Emoticons

    We’re trying to make the board in general more oriented toward debate, not personal, “I’m rubber, you’re glue,” sorts of junior high inanity. If you disagree with a post, that’s fine. Just say so and state your logic. Don’t use either emoticons or written language to denigrate an opposing...

    Tommy Tuberville Might Be The Dumbest Senator

    Couldn't decide if this was political or not. Went with politics, not football. Michael Casagrande, a sportswriter for al.com, torches Tuberville's hypocrisy regarding pay-for-play. I actually agree that pay-for-play has to be reformed, have worn my suggested solution into the ground, and...

    Stop It With The Personal Attacks!

    This issue has been coming up more and more lately, mostly on the Non-Sports Politics and Religion (NSPR) board. In a totally unrelated incident, there's another poster serving a long sentence for a personal attack over there. This new one was on the Football board. A long-time poster has...

    What Part of No Profanity Isn't Clear?

    I just suspended a poster of 14 years standing for a cute attempt around the profanity filters. It was an end-run around an X-rated word, and barely even thinly disguised. What part of this isn't clear, guys? - No profanity. - No cute attempts to circumvent the profanity filters. - Provided...

    Biden on SCOTUS

    Surprised a thread on Biden's proposed Constitutional amendment on SCOTUS hasn't gotten a thread. I agree that SCOTUS needs a code of ethics, and think Congress could make that stick so long as they don't overreach and try to attach a lot of tangential stuff couched as "ethics." But a...

    Darwin Award — Leader In The Clubhouse

    Guy puts what was apparently a big firework on an Uncle Sam type top hat that he was wearing. The firework was already lit and, despite efforts from nearby family members to stop the incident, went off. Allen Ray McGrew ended up dead. I’m sure there was no alcohol involved. “St. Peter, it...
