Mdot has been outraged a lot lately.  I hope everything is okay at home.

I had a nice run (jog) (OK, slow jog) today.  I took a couple days off after the Shingrix laid me out.  I milked that one a bit.

I am pretty sure it's tough to be a CFB writer in June, especially this year.

Why is everyone wigging out about this?  They're obviously historical peak rankings.  If they were released 10 years ago, Clemson wouldn't even be on it. 

The only way you can be outraged is if you don't understand that.
This is AMERICA. How DARE you tell people what they can be outraged for! :96:

That is certainly within the realm of possibility, but which team is more likely to retain their coach?

Their only hope is that he realizes that Minnesota is the biggest program out there that will still allow him to put an oar on their helmet. Imagine if he tried to do that with the Wolverines?

Ehhh, some program just might. Shoot, Washington and Tennessee could work in boats. 

Michigan getting PJ would be like getting another Harbs in a lot of ways.

I kind of like Cowherd, except that he does what Jim Rome did - he restates the same point over and over until he words it well and seems pleased with himself.


On a similar note, I was listening to some sports talk on AM radio when I happened to not have my phone with me in the car and DEAR GOD......it's unconscionable.  You're already bombarded with ads and commercials about 60% of the time, but guuuhhhhh, the talking head is just filling time by talking circles around himself on the same point. 

It's the worst.

I kinda like Cowherd too, but I think a lot of it has to do with just how much better he handles himself in a 'talk' industry that has become rigidly repetitive and topically un-diverse over the last 10 & 20 years. My big criticism of Cowherd as of late is spending his 3 hour show on only a few topics - NFL, Lebron/NBA, College football, ripping on Aaron Rodgers, and that's about it. However, within those constraints Cowherd is able to come across a lot more creative and fresh than his peers who are also stuck within those topical restrictions.

Sports talk radio didn't used to be so corporate. They would talk way more baseball, covered a lot more topics, hosted weekly gags, and were more so call-in shows.

I can't see Rocky Top being that desperate. 

Imagine an oar across the Checkered End Zone?

If a program throws Harbaugh type money at PJ, he will not require an oar on anything.

Cowherd is a moron. In that same blowhard show he said Dylan McCaffrey is the next Andrew Luck.
Perhaps but he has a job doing what do here and gets paid a King's ransome to do it.Not bad work if you can get it

There are two differences between Cowhurd and ELA:

1.  ELA's name is not widely known, and
2.  ELA doesn't publish obvious tripe to get people incensed and upset so they know his name.

Not many Talking Heads who write this sort of stuff are really very rational about it, but they are good at eliciting a reaction.
ela did have bama outside his top 10 this year. that's probably a bigger snub than leaving clemson out of top 4. just sayin... :)

Well I didn't say that it was a lock. Just that it is their best hope.

Obviously they can keep him if they don't get over the hump, but under the scenario that we are discussing where he has Minnesota as the team to beat in the B1G West, he gone.
