He also has no need of doing anything at all for the advancement of our university. Just sit there and make sure things go OK for a year, collect a paycheck, then leave. Not saying he will not, but there is no need for him to do that.

And in his tenure at WSU he sure has improved their athletics and helped turn them into the power house they are now

only if you get in line behind Ken and Ryu.

Maybe someone else can help out here too, but I think the APR takes a smaller hit if the player left the school while still in good acedemic standing.

I think his credentials look pretty good. In fact, considering how all of this has transpired, I am surprised we were able to get someone looking this good. Obviously, he has an interest in athletics: NCAA Board of Directors, chair of three different conferences. Since he is interim, he has no need of being a yes man for anyone. Not saying he will not, but there is no need for him to be one.

I'll believe it when it shows up in the win column.

Really, Bush took everyone's 401K s and gave it all to Wall Street. Then again bankrupted the middle class with inflated gas prices while in essence bailing out oil companies. Then he helped Several other private firms by hiring $120,000 per year merceneries to go to war. Thus bringing our economy to a halt. So go f yourself when you look at this administration's handling of the worse economy since the great depression. Oh yea AIG, Goldman, Exxon Chevron, Halliburton.....all of these just topped the top 20 in Fortune 500.....Oh yea Chase, Bank of America, Deregulation led to their lending practices at 0% while sticking it to small business to the the tune of 17%--29% loans..... What this admin is doing is reeling in the heavy losses suffered by the Middle Class to support the Boujous on Wall Street and in Texas. All in the name of 9/11 my friend.... don't be a sheep for the republicans or the democrats....by the way how did you spend your $300 bush stimulus check???

I don't think we're gonna "force" him to. He'll perhaps play a few minutes here and there at the point, but I don't think that'll be a problem either.

It's like signing day Hanukkah. Every day, we get a new LOI. And we're learning a valuable lesson about perseverance and lamp oil.

Yeah right...we couldn't get that place to fill even if it were a football game!

Yes, and we need it...baseball that is.

I love chowder. I have a food for most cities. Boston is the chowder.

They will try to pass the Senate version as it stands in a panic.

Get the dead horse out again. TTG, you used to be funny but it is time to call in Jim Rome's manual buzzer.

I hear he plans on only staying here one year before taking over as president of the Detroit Lions.

Sweet. This year's President. I look forward to the bright new future of temporary campus leadership, below the System (and Chancellor) level. When your President is shuttled in and out like this, aren't they basically just turning into the Grand Marshall of the semi-annual parade of graduates? Couldn't we at least reach out and get someone famous and maybe land some publicity out of this deal? Hot Springs got John Ratzenberger from "Cheers" and Bo Derek from famous cinematic nakedness to be their parade grand marshalls. Don't tell me that town has PASSED US BY. If we don't get George Wendt or that chick from Logan's Run as our next next interim president, then I have to question the leadership here.

My 401K is doing just fine thank you. I am squarely in the middle class and am not bankrupt. I didn't get a Bush stimulus check...but had I, I would have saved it. Hard to believe you really believe this dribble you put out. I tend to think you are just having some fun being the "anti Bush-anti business" poster. I do find it hard to believe that even you believe the stuff you post. I never made any loan to any small business at 17-29% in over 40 years of lending. I wonder where you have been banking or are you just drinking the left-wing kool-aid and believing all that crap you are reading in the NY Times. If you own a small business and have been borrowing at those rates I would be happy to look over your financials and business plan and see if I can't point you in the direction of a better lender. If you have a solid and profitable business going, and a solid credit background, in spite of the rhetoric you seem to believe, there are willing lenders available to you. happy to help.

Can you imagine the sort of abusive, neglectful future husbands and fathers must have slouched their way through those years?

Also, consider the sheer number of games... since I feel like I know where you're going with the "do baseball fans fall off that fast" quote, look at it this way - if two essentially hopeless EPL clubs played about 5 or 6 games a week, imagine the attendance dropoff. Right now, for instance, Wigan Athletic is 5th from the bottom in the EPL standings.. not good, but not a horrid bottom feeder... they play 3 or 4 games a month, so NFL numbers. Yet they average 17k attendance (Sun Belt numbers) in a 25k stadium. Now, IMAGINE if they played 5 or 6 games a week. Sure, they'd fill it up for Man U or Chelsea, but not for most teams (as made obvious by the numbers). Note: I'm not bagging on the EPL or soccer in general... Just making a comparison using the sport you know and understand and has famously rabid fan bases... that "fall off that fast" as much or more so than American baseball fans.

Is there any sports that NT plays were there is not an incredible amount of talent in the Metroplex?

Nope, this a completely valid question and you have every right to ask what fundraising has planned at all levels. The PR and Marketing departments don't drive this, but they will help fundraising execute it once they are given marching orders. See, much like an NT senior finishing his business policy project, you're starting to learn about how it all works together! I'm proud of you.

Thanks Tina Fey wrote it.

If this board is any indication ... spelling is always optional.

True comedy is saying I'm being redundant in response to an article where Dodge says the exact same bullcrap we've heard for the 3rd straight offseason now. This year, they really really REALLY REALLY REEEEEEALLY no fooling care. Honest, for true, no takebacks, no crossed fingers. Not like before (apparently). Not that it matters, because it's essentially meaningless coachspeak anyway. Check it off the offseason list, just like Dickey's annual oath to open up the passing game.
