yeah you did, you just overlook it when he's wearing your colors.

I mean Urban Meyer was a complete shitbag at every other stop in his career, so odds are, he was while in Columbus too.


edit to add:
I'm not judging, I've just accepted long ago that college football is a sleazy business and coaches for the most part tend to fit the sleazy mold quite well.

How's the weather?

Nutriaitch
we've gotten somewhere around 1/2" of rain so far last night / this morning.
which is triggering flash flood warnings and some localized street flooding.


HALF OF AN INCH
and we have some street flooding :slappy:


been here over 3 years now and it still amazes me just how little rain ever falls here and the regions complete inability to handle it.

he gets a lot more hate than he should in this department.

other than his Tennessee exit, he's never made a move that other coaches wouldn't have made while trying to climb the ladder.

He got a HC job in the NFL when he was too young, still very immature, and obviously not ready....that ended in a firing.
then the Tennessee Fiasco.
USC was a tough spot. on probation with scholarship reductions, so not nearly as successful as they'd hoped...fired.

but look at his career path since then....

OC at a Power 5 school (3 seasons)
Head Coach of a Group of 5 School (3 Seasons)
Head Coach of a Power 5 School below the top tier (6 Seasons)
Head Coach at a destination type job.


people bash him for "burning bridges" and "lack of loyalty"

but nobody says shit about Deboer
whose path looks like ...

OC at Power 5 school (1 season)
Head Coach at Group of 5 school (3 seasons)
Head Coach at a Power 5 school (2 seasons)

maybe it's about more than job jumping. maybe being a twatbag has a lot to do with it.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

On the pitching front, Nick Lodolo should be back soon. Hopefully blister free. Then Hunter Greene will come back mid-July if the projections hold.

Also, Reds suck. Thump thinks they will lose out from here. Fire Francona. Feel like there's something else I'm missing.

You forgot the run differential. It's negative.

When the luck evens back out, and it will, the losing streak is going to be biblical.

They may lose out from here.

What kind of car do you drive?

Copying and pasting my post in the Gas Price thread here:



It's a Chevy Bolt. We got it used.
We like it because my wife doesn't drive more than 10 miles per day, normally, and never more than 120 miles in a week. Park the car in the garage, plug it in. Unless someone drove it 50+ miles one day, it's fully charged by the morning, off a Level 1 charger.
I don't know that we'll ever go to having both cars being EV. I drive 40+ miles to work each way 3-5 times a week - the tech would have to improve a bunch to be able to do that with an EV, unless I can find somewhere at the office to plug in. Maybe if I can ever retire we can go to double-EV's.
I think our full plan is to get solar panels on the roof of the garage. It'd be pretty awesome if we could figure out how to charge the vehicle off just solar power.

You would need a way to store the solar power as I have panels on my home but the storage unit is usually 15K-20K which I do not have.

Any EV owners here? May grab a used one at some point in the next year. Tagging @exhawg and @Zurp since they mentioned being EV owners in the Gas Price thread.

Copying and pasting my post in the Gas Price thread here:

We have an EV. It's great for what we use it for - just in-town driving to drop kids off at school and maybe run a couple errands. We don't have a fancy charging station, so it charges pretty slowly. And we don't charge it to 100% ever. I think we normally keep it at 70% max, and that says we have about 200 miles. But you aren't charging it 200 miles overnight with a Level 1 charger. If we wanted to drive it farther, we'd charge it to 80 or 90%. I guess it's bad to charge it to 100%.
For a week or so our garage lost power over the winter, so we took it to a Level 3 charger. It charged the whole thing (to that 70%) for about $20 in about 30-40 minutes.
If you're doing more driving, you might need a Level 2 charger. I'm not sure how difficult that is to install, but it'd charge faster than just the wall outlet that we use.
Oh - and most importantly, our electric bill really hasn't gone up much. So that's pretty awesome.

Will concede that Kiffin was part of Saban's coach-reclamation-project, and he was the face of the offense at Bama. Rebuilt his worth as a coach, and at Ole Miss, did better than expected. I'm a doubter, to be certain, so we'll see if he has the 'legs' to maintain at LSU. More wealth, better players, = no excuses. Certainly will stay tuned to watch this show.....

The problem is that functional morons like Les Miles and Ed Orgeron accidentally fell into having enough talent to override their stupidity. LSU somehow can withstand ineptitude that would cripple other programs. I wonder if they could've survived Bill Davis or Tim Beck or Arthur Smith
