What an embarrassment. I won't go back and find the posts, but I'm pretty sure I predicted that tsun would regret hiring that clown. I just had no idea that he would flame out so spectacularly while leaving the foosball in ruins. He fucking delivered.

I had a couple of minutes. Here are your first few posts right after the announcement in July, 2022. It’s clear you had him pegged as a phony all along.

God, that would be annoying. He'd never shut up with the twitter smack. And the tsun alumni and fans will never allow themselves to see through his self-serving self-promotion over accomplishment schtick. While he might very well turn out to be a clusterfuck, I think the wealth and momentum of tsun will allow him to coast there for many years, so I think it's best that he just stay in exile up North.

Isn't Bacon their Jeff Snook but with actual access to the football program? I'll wait for an official announcement.

Well, it's all over the legit press now, so I guess it's happening. The dumbest dfbia will eat him up, but let's see how the real power brokers up there feel about his shameless self-promoting clown act. The true powers up there don't seem shy about pulling the plug on Presidents lately.

The problem is that he's inheriting a McLaren (1.5B in research funding, 17B endowment, 2nd highest SAT scores among publics); all he has to do is avoid driving it off a cliff. If he can manage not to trip over his own dick, it's pretty hard to screw that up. BTW, I wonder if his position on "multiple flagships" will be the same or will it have "evolved?" TSUN Presidents have always been pretty low key, anti-Gee types, so it will be interesting to see how they deal with Gordon Gee on steroids.

Ono's already at it. At his press conference, he pretty much said that tsun was lucky to have a President who's been involved in conference realignment. Ummm (and I'll have to check my notes), but when you were involved in conference realignment didn't you make a bunch of grandiose promises and then end up coming out of that bathroom with nothing but your dick in your hand? What's next, conman, are you going to tell them how lucky they are to have a President involved in applying to the AAU?

I’ve been thinking about this tragic story off and on all day. As I said previously, I have dined with KB probably 4 or 5 times and happened to be on a flight to Vegas with him once by coincidence. We had mutual business contacts and partners. I also noticed his drinking problem and thought it basically confirmed what internet folks said he was like. But I actually witnessed it. And when I started tuning into his YouTube cast nightly around CFB playoff time and for the Michigan scandal updates, I saw that he definitely had a problem airing 2 casts in a row sober.

Then I decided I was going to approach him at one of the next dinners I had with him in attendance and ask him if he thought he had a drinking problem. I was going to try to intervene even though we’re definitely not friends. I was more of an interested observer trying to prevent what just happened SAturday morning. Unfortunately, that next time never came.

I feel like shit because I did not intervene despite being only acquaintances. Of course I don’t know how he would have taken any intervention let alone one from a not-quite friend. People - it is our duty to our fellow citizens to try to intervene in some sort of way to prevent this. Don’t miss the opportunity to save a life.

I get where you're coming from. Totally. I've stepped in two different times for people who needed to be helped. It's not easy and it can be very awkward. It even cost me a friendship from high school in one case, but the individual got the help he needed.

But you can't do this to yourself. It's not fair and you don't deserve it.

The individuals I did it for were both friends and people I'd known personally for a while. As you said you and KB were passing acquaintances but not much beyond that. It sucks and I totally understand playing the "what-if" game, but you don't deserve the guilt you're putting yourself through.

KB had dozens (if not more) people in his life who have seen this for years/decades and it seems none of them stepped in that we know of - and if they did, point #2, KB brushed them off - meaning he didn't want the help or didn't see the problem. As has been stated, no matter what you do or how persuasive you can be, there's nothing to be done unless that individual wants to help themselves out.

It's an absolute tragedy this kid died. Two lives ended Saturday night. But none of that is on you man. There's nothing you could have done short of taking KB's keys Saturday night and preventing him from getting behind the wheel.

Swing for the fences here and see what happens. My contact said Ryan should be in touch soon if they haven't already. I'm not getting excited yet, but we should be a real contender.

What kind of car do you drive?

Wish had seen this thread couple of years ago. Just got back from C'bus visiting daughter. Noticed her car was dingy, with lots of strange streaks. Well, turns out that when visited in Nov/Dec of couple of years, did the Daddy thing, and washed (soapy wand place), and then waxed in her garage. Also turns out that did a sub-standard job in the cold, and the wax built up and left residue when tried to rub off. Clearly a polisher would have helped. Anyway, a gearhead friend suggested one of those spray-on waxes (Meguires, or Griots). Did so, and rubbed all that built up wax and dirt right off. Apparently the spray-on wax emulsified the build-up/dirt, but left me with two very tired arms. Anyway, her car gleams now, and got a 'thanks Dad', so guess was all worth it...

You’re a good man for doing that by hand. No way I’d even try. I’m immediately calling in power tools or a professional with power tools. :wink:
