Thanks for your input. I'll mark you down as opposed to the whoop it up statue.

If there are not enough .500 or better teams to fill bowl slots, they can fill them with 5-7 teams. They award it based upon grad rates, I believe.

He might have served his kids better by sitting them down, telling them that not playing is a decision they alone would need to make, but what they're "not playing" about is goofy: * A poopsika that nobody knows who put there, and that in this day-and-age, it might have been put there by the CS1950 kids to incite a reaction (that they're now part of). Then he might want to tell them the Tawana Brawley story. That's what a good parent would do. * The evil red truck. Again, nobody knows who it is, so explain to them that there are measures to be taken to better-protect themselves, perhaps get pictures for the police, but with what they have to go on there's little they can expect from the university's leadership in an ACLU America. That's what a good parent would do. * GAs losing their healthcare coverage in its previous form. Just show them a picture of Obama, then explain to them that college is a 4-year deal, maybe 5. Explain that after their undergrad work is done, if certain things are a priority (healthcare), well hanging around a college campus grading papers for a professor, teaching a class, or three, and "getting even smarter" might not be the best choice (based on those previously established priorities). Then, explain to them (again) that those career students actually DO still have coverage, and if anybody is to blame for the change it's Obama, and it's NOT the school's leadership. That's what a good parent would do. * Systemic racism. Show them the make-up of the very team their on, and then the basketball team, then the make-up of the student leadership, and the make-up of the staff, then the national averages in terms demographics (after explaining what the big word means), graduation rates and then tell them their (CS1950's) arguments are bunk based on all that evidence. And if they still resist, hit them with the numbers of kids getting merit-based financial aid vs. supposed needs-based financial aid. Then tell them to chew on that before they decide to throw-away their careers. But I agree, he sure did have his player's backs for a short-term feel-good story to be aired while he's walking away (just one week later). Many people would say it was short-sighted, and self-serving... I certainly think it's exactly that. |

Now shut up about this shit and take it to DC. There is no ****ing hidden agenda or a secret message or some dumb shit leason that you and pat think there is. Any coach will support his players and that's all there is to it. This is the easiest concept in the world and you ****s miss it over and over. |

Missouri is likely going to hire one of Tom Herman, Justin Fuente or Barry Odom. Matt Campbell might also be involved. The Rhule guy at Temple is also a possibility. Mack Rhoades has known for almost a month he needs to hire a coach. If he isn't already down to his short list of 3-4 coaches, I'd be shocked. But I haven't seen ANYONE mention Fritz. No clue where he's getting that, other than making things up, but it isn't happening.
