Matt Campbell is still sitting there with his 0 conference titles/cyhawk wins. Last year everyone was ready to crawl across broken glass to Aims for a chance to sign this guy. Now all of a sudden there are some new shiny objects to distract people with, I suppose.
Our new HC beat Campbell with his G5 team.

Everything reported about LSU originates from agents and sports-writers who have to put out something to generate clicks and fulfill their mandates.  This is a strange go-round for us....we haven't had an AD in my lifetime who successfully kept this much of a lid on things.  There are 3 or 4 people who know what's really going on, and none of them are anybody making the headlines or twitter feeds.  

I'm as guilty of it as anybody.  Everything I've written here came from the usual "insider" guys who cover the team (and to be fair, have had a lot of good info over the years).  The interesting thing about it is when they have time to expound a little more, such as on their podcasts, they all say the same thing....they don't really know anything, because their sources in the program don't know anything and can only tell their guess and that there's about 3, maybe 4 people who know what Woody is up to (see above) and they ain't talking.  When they're honest, they've never done this much guessing.  

I'm saying, maybe Riley really was a target and maybe Brian Kelly really is....but it's a guess, they don't know that.  Woody, for his part, either knows something we don't or is some kind of sociopath.  He just smiles and plays golf and acts super relaxed and tells people they'll really like it when it all shakes out.  I was listening to one of the usual suspects last night and more or less agreed with his assessment.....either Woody is shitting his pants right now, or he's laughing at all the rest of us shitting our pants.  

So we don't know anything, but there are a few things we know from outside the AD's office that tell us something....but not much, imo.  We know from Aranda's people and from Napier's people that they were never contacted.  We didn't even put any feelers out to them.  There may be others but I've only heard confirmations from those two camps that they weren't contacted.  That sounds like Woody either has his guy or thought he had his guy (that's why I say it still doesn't tell me much).  That still could mean he thought he had Riley and is now shitting his pants.  

It also tells us something (just not sure what) that LSU did not announce yesterday.  Again, that could point to LSU not having their guy, or it could point to they've got their guy but he's still coaching.  All I know for sure is the fans are starting to wet the bed.  If he does have somebody locked up, it would need to be really worth it, because when they failed to announce anything yesterday, this recruiting class is starting to get restless.

there is a God  

i know people think of Minnesota as a non factor program but with a different OC this year at worst we would have been 11-1 even with our 1-4 RB's getting injured throughout the year

Having grown up in the Chicago area, I've said numerous times that I have absolutely NO desire to go back due to the weather. I like perfect weather every damn day, and SoCal is that.  

My company has a big facility in Rochester MN. Which sounds like the bad part of Siberia to me... If they said they'd double my salary but I had to move to Rochester? I'd be on the way immediately, and my California girl wife would deal with it for the decade it would take to pay for our retirement when we could move somewhere warmer.

More smoke for Brian Kelly to LSU. What if he goes to LSU and ND makes the playoff?

If ND opens up, the top two candidates would be Urban and Fickell, I would imagine

What is it this year? Cotton Bowl and Orange Bowl? Could probably fly from one to the other without missing too much of the first quarter.
