What happened to my ¤cash?
If it were him his wife would have been the one to flip him the $0.25. Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure she would have had to cover the $80 too… so yeah. Must have been him.

Wrong glass, Sir.
I'll never forgive Sparty for not just canceling that game. They were given the option, but chose to keep the money from their biggest home game of the year. Had they opted out, it would have starkly highlighted the national narrative of what tcun had been up to, forced the B1G and NCAA and the neworks to act much more quickly and maybe put a halt to tcun's "championship" run. Fuckin' Spartards can never be counted on when it matters.

They should have cancelled and sued UM for their financial losses. The discovery phase alone would have made this a fascinating case.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Given how conniving tcun is and what a manipulative, devious little cunt of a man was running the place, I have a feeling that Sparty was likely very concerned about possible blowback from the state government. That's the one excuse I can give them.

Or it's just Sparty pulling a Sparty. They are organizationally and culturally a bunch of fuck ups.
All they have ever done of any note is hate tsun and pull a bizarre upset over one of our really good teams every 20 years or so.

I have misplaced my pants.
Hm. That's an interesting point. I wonder if more dominoes would have fallen. Who did they play the next week? Would they have also cancelled? I figured that the Big Ten forced State to play the game because of the money involved. I didn't think about the idea that maybe the state government would have been involved.

Totally agreed and maybe stops other teams from playing them too. They had the chance to maybe end their season but took the money.

Trustees call Santa Ono the ‘right person’ to lead University of Florida
'Recently, a handful of external voices have sought to question Dr. Ono’s alignment with Florida’s vision for higher education,' the trustees wrote in an email to alumni.

'Recently, a handful of external voices have sought to question Dr. Ono’s alignment with Florida’s vision for higher education,' the trustees wrote in an email to alumni.
Mori Hosseini is fiercely defending Santa Ono, the controversial lone finalist for the open University of Florida president job.
“He is the right person to accelerate UF’s upward trajectory and help make it the undisputed leader among America’s public universities,” Hosseini, who chairs the UF Board of Trustees, and Trustee Vice Chair Rahul Patel wrote in an email Thursday to alumni. “The Search Committee unanimously selected Dr. Ono because of his exceptional academic credentials, his principled leadership, and his demonstrated ability to drive meaningful, positive change. He is a builder — and the University of Florida is on the move. UF has never had more momentum.”
They called Ono “one of the most respected academic leaders in the world.”...
In their email to Gator Nation Thursday, the UF trustees rebutted the narrative that Ono is too liberal to lead Florida’s flagship university.
“Recently, a handful of external voices have sought to question Dr. Ono’s alignment with Florida’s vision for higher education. Dr. Ono is not shifting his views to fit Florida. He has been evolving his perspective over time — before UF ever approached him about this role,” their email said. “He brings a decisive break from the progressive orthodoxy that has gripped too many elite campuses — one that UF has resisted and risen above. He recognized the toll that ideological excess was taking — on campus culture, academic standards, and institutional trust — and made a clear and courageous choice: enough is enough.”
