id need to know the context in which the statement was made. carr has been fairly restrained throughout all of this and the media has been known to report quotes out of context in order to create a story where none existed.

Not that I like being fair to Voyd, but to be fair -

Here are some definitions of 'slick' in order of commonality:

1. smooth and glossy; sleek.
2. smooth in manners, speech, etc.; suave.
3. sly; shrewdly adroit: He's a slick customer, all right.
4. ingenious; cleverly devised: a slick plan to get out of work.
5. slippery, esp. from being covered with or as if with ice, water, or oil.
6. deftly executed and having surface appeal or sophistication, but shallow or glib in content; polished but superficial; glib: a writer who has mastered every formula of slick fiction.

Some folks are jumping to #6 and skipping 2, 3, and 4 which are not necessarily offensive.

That said, Voyd did go after Urban today for saying things about Michigan that were 'inappropriate', so it may just be that he is on the rag.

Bravo. Good God. Lloyd may or may not have been happy with Tressel over not voting, but you have got to just be searching for ways to hate Lloyd if you wanna bash him over that. A throwaway quote in the middle of a much larger article, with absolutely no context whatsoever.

And Urban looked none too pleased to have to discuss the issue when asked about it. Looks like Lloyd is making friends all around the country.

Slick is generally accompanied by a negative connotation though. You rarely use the word slick to praise someone.

Carr would be well served if someone reminded him that he is still the head coach of a major D1 program and not some guest on the Jerry Springer show. Using the word slick to characterize a fellow coach is flat out bush league.

Voyd is pissed, of course I'd be pissed to in his position too. The only thing that bothers me about it is that he would be front and center with a smug smirk on his face had UM been picked, everywhere he could be, championing how the system worked out the way it should have. He whines a lot, but doesn't exactly come across as gracious when the chips happen to fall his way most of the time.

More like a case of "sour grapes" rather than bashing. I don't think JT voting for tsun would have made a difference.
On the other hand if I was JT and wanted to play Fla , the "slick " move would have been to vote or Fla or not at all.
Once again JT out did Carr.:)
