::sigh:: Too bad. I would really like to be able to love Ozzie again...

Can't argue with his loyalty and what he's done for the teams with which he is affiliated, and he really is a good guy. I just wish he hadn't sold his soul to remain loyal to He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named...

I have great respect for Mack Brown-- total class act.
Posted Thursday July 16, 2009, About: Will Meyer 'never' take Notre Dame job?
Yup. Correct on both counts:

"Coach Meyer is preparing for the biggest game in his coaching career, and his focus is on having the Falcons prepared to take on a great team in Northern Illinois," said J.D. Campbell, Bowling Green's sports information director, in a statement released yesterday. "He nor [Athletic Director] Paul Krebs have been contacted about any opportunities outside of BGSU, and Urban's sole focus remains on having his team compete for a MAC championship." (BGNews, 11/6/2002)

One month later...

Almost exactly two years after that...

So Florida fans, take his word with a BIG grain of salt. There IS a reason I call him Urban Liar...

Ummm... didja see BG's record the past few years? Gregg Brandon is a fantastic OC-- can't run a defense to save his life, though. Hiring a defensive guy was the logical choice.

WTF?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T WANT HIM AT MY ALMA MATER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just threw up in my mouth a little...

UMMMMMMMM... duh?

As ProveIt always says, the system won't change until they start losing money.
Posted Thursday May 07, 2009, About: Why Big Ten expansion is unlikely
UMMM, keep going-- there are so many rivalries and trophies within the Big Ten that it is impossible to subdivide the conference without screwing some of them up, either by removing them from the schedule or diluting them by having the teams play each other twice (wasn't that how Florida whined their way into the NC in 2006?) and p*ssing off a huge number of people in the process...

Also, in post #44, dougbq mentioned that the Big Ten schools are consistent with their research base. We are also (with the exception of Northwestern) all large, public institutions, and I can't imagine that a school will be considered if it doesn't also meet the non-athletic criteria that defines the Big Ten.

Bigger does not always equal better. And though I don't agree with Delaney on a lot of stuff, I'm glad to see him bucking the trend. For the Big Ten to add a team, it has to make sense and not just appease the other conferences that have already expanded solely for financial gain.
Posted Friday January 16, 2009, About: Notre Dame chasing OSU coach
No, Urban Liar/Crier is a good COACH-- damn good coach-- lousy human being. As I've said on other threads, my venom has surprisingly little to do with the NC; it also has nothing to do with his leaving BG or Utah-- it's HOW he left those schools that caused me to dislike him so intensely. With his talent, he absolutely belongs in a high profile, premiere gig. But he showed little integrity and less class in leaving the other programs the way he did...

Back on topic, I think the key consideration for Fickell is the stability factor. Weis is on the hot seat, and if he doesn't perform, he's going to go the way of Willingham and Davies. And few head coaches secure positions for their assistants before departure (Lloyd Carr was an exception in that category.) With a young family, plus all his C-Bus/OSU ties, unless they have a doozie of a plan that lasts for more than a couple of years for him at ND, I don't see him leaving.
Posted Thursday January 15, 2009, About: Notre Dame chasing OSU coach
Oh, I know... but I trust his word about as far as I can spit, which is just about to the edge of my desk... great coach, lousy human...
Posted Thursday January 15, 2009, About: Notre Dame chasing OSU coach
Or like he would NEVER leave Bowling Green for Utah, or like he would NEVER leave Utah for Florida...
Posted Thursday January 15, 2009, About: Notre Dame chasing OSU coach
Luke is an OSU alum and has family in C-Bus (friend worked at a facility with his grandmother)... it will take a REALLY good offer with *promise of stability* to lure him away. Not saying it won't happen, but it will take a lot...

Fanmail in response.
Posted Wednesday September 10, 2008, About: Sapp calls Urban 'classless dirtbag'
Doubled and Croc--

Read my posts again. I didn't say he shouldn't have left-- he is a VERY talented coach who deserves to be in a program with visibility and resources. BUT when you hold a press conference swearing your allegiance to a program after you've accepted another position and don't inform your AD that you're job hunting (BG) AND you leave your program while they're preparing for their bowl game (Utah), THAT causes me to question your ethics.

So please don't assume that it's all sour grapes or that I don't respect the man's ability-- I do. I just don't respect the man.
Posted Wednesday September 10, 2008, About: Sapp calls Urban 'classless dirtbag'
Croc-- you obviously know nothing about your coach. My disdain for him has nothing to do with the NC (oddly enough). It's not even that after two years, he left Bowling Green for Utah or that two years after that he left for Florida. It was the classless, shameless way he left the programs.

I've long gotten over the NC that we lost (Florida) and the one we gave away with 4-15 yard penalties (LSU)... SOME of us don't live in the past-- some of us look toward the future...
Posted Wednesday September 10, 2008, About: Sapp calls Urban 'classless dirtbag'
Sapp is a loudmouth and an idiot... but he's right on this one. Urban Liar is one classless human being. Fantastic coach who cares nothing for ethics... right up there with Nick Satan, DickRod, and Bobby Petrino (hmmm-- need a nickname for him, too...)
Posted Friday July 25, 2008, About: Meyer's still ticked at Bulldogs
4vrRoyal4vrLoyalBuckeyes - the flip side would be, why don;t the buckeyes ever come play in the humid climate ?
thebone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ummmm-- ever been to Ohio in August and early September? It's almost as humid (and hot) as it is in the South... then it rains, gets cold, and snows. And we play in all of it. Southerners cannot use weather to discuss football superiority-- sorry. And that's all the OSU I'm gonna talk here-- this story is about the SEC, not the Big Ten and not my beloved Buckeyes.

As for the article, I guess he needs to change his name from Urban Liar to Urban Cryer. Anyone who has read anything I've posted on the subject knows that I'm biased and that I detest that man. He's a talented coach but a terrible human being. (And sorry-- in my book, human trumps coach.) I CHEERED when Georgia celebrated. Was it tasteless? Yes, but it was also a brilliant psychological strategy that worked. LSU is currently my favorite SEC team, but Georgia is giving them a run for their money... can't wait to see how the season plays out.

I SO love college football...

I wonder if it's hard for Ohio State fans to do the YMCA cheer that they have in a high scoring game?

Ohio State Grad. 2 degrees in five years. Never missed a home football game and even went to the Big House for one of the away ones.

And I have no idea what the hell you're talking about...
Posted Wednesday July 23, 2008, About: NFL QB upsets Buckeyes fans
eyesWIDEopen--

Despite what haters will have people believe, there are those of us who are die-hard Buckeyes AND rational human beings-- it's not mutually exclusive...
Posted Wednesday July 23, 2008, About: NFL QB upsets Buckeyes fans
Eesh. People need to get a grip. Carson Palmer shouldn't be surprised that his Ohio fan base is pissed by his comments, and Bengals/OSU fans shouldn't be surprised that he's cheering for his ALMA MATER. I don't see what the uproar is about on either end...

Haters, please keep in mind that in the last two years, our "overrated" NC teams lost nine defensive STARTERS and then the scoring offensive core (QB, RB, two WRs). So even in our "mediocrity," OSU is still a force to be dealt with...

And if you look at the HISTORY of football prorgrams (not just the past few years), there aren't many programs that are as storied as Ohio State's. Like OSU or hate OSU, if you are a true fan of college football, you should at the very least respect OSU. (just as I respect the history of TSUN and USC, even though I detest them...)
Posted Monday July 14, 2008, About: Ugly truths about Rodriguez
The funniest thing about this article is that every OSU fan who is on here sees something related to UofM and they blog all over the post and talk their trash. It just goes to show that what everyone says is really true. OSU might have the worst fans in the country. We all know your stupid, or you would have been able to get into a better school than OSU, but that doesn't excuse you for being **** as well.
TiCaL07

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, I've seen more than a few smack-talking TSUN fans on OSU threads, so please... and for every jerk, there is at least one nice person. We may not all be rational, but we are loyal to the death, and THAT is what makes a good fan.

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I could have gone to any school I wanted. I CHOSE Ohio State because it was the right fit for me. And if that makes me stupid, so be it. But at least *I* use appropriate grammar and spelling when I'm insulting someone else...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rockhound and river (as well as xxx84xxx on other threads) said it well: it's not THAT DickRod left WV for better opportunities; it's HOW he left that annoys those of us who love college football and hate to see its image sullied. He is now in the company of Nick Satan, Urban Liar, and Bobby Petrino-- fantastic *coaches*, but seemingly rotten human beings. And to see a class act and GOOD human being like Lloyd Carr being succeeded by the likes of DickRod is a disappointment (at best).
