professor characterized as "two crooks trying to outsmart each other."

Re: Getting loaded for next year. Practice squad, recruits, needs

To me I admire the job Tang has done in putting together a team to be reckoned with in very short order. I'm not a big fan of running up into the stands. And I think one's religion is kind of beside the point. I wouldn't go to a brain surgeon because he or she was a vocal Christian, or an agnostic. ...

Re: Portal dreaming

Jamie Dixon seems like a logical choice for Texas. If/when he implodes or turns them down, who's at UTEP these days? or Tarleton State?

Re: other schools' coaching news and stuff ...

Chicago press starting to get a little chippy about Brad. As well they should IMHO. His blue ribbon "recruiter" has gone to - ta-da- Kentucky.

Re: Why fans have made a deep connection to Coach Tang.

I'm not a big fan of going up into the stands to celebrate. But that's my only quibble. A gifted guy who waited SO long for his opportunity, I think fans should be thankful for what they got and scale back on the quibbling. Anybody think he's not going to be a dynamite recruiter?

Beard is a +++ coach. End of story. Who was it who said I could shoot somebody in Times Square and my fans wouldn't care. Who WAS that?

Re: K State #1 seed?

IMHO a 1-seed puts a monkey on your back. There's enough pressure in the tournament w/o being, arguably, overseeded. Better to go in
