American College Football National Championship Open Thread: No More Football After This
by Eric Murtaugh on Jan 9, 2012 8:00 PM EST
Email
PrintThere are roughly 14 million people milling about the Louisiana Mercedes-Benz Superdome basking in the glory of a national championship game atmosphere wrapped in SEC glory.
The speed and power we will witness will fill us with envy.
Hopefully it will lead to at least a couple touchdowns.
This is your open thread for the BCS title game.
Alabama in their crimson red versus LSU in their customary white with purple and yellow trim.
Get your swerve on in our comment section.
My pick:
Richardson might want to hit the weight room before he gets to the NFL though.

Make both teams send their defenses out to play offense and vice versa. This would clearly result in some points and an enjoyable game—I intentionally did not write “a more enjoyable game.” it would have to be somewhat enjoyable for it to be possible to make it more enjoyable.

Oh and right on cue
a post from one of our friends about Swarbrick calling up Saban. And that we should shut it down if we can’t get him… sigh
Well you know, Saban is just BEGGING to coach at Notre Dame
And the fact that Jack “Cheapo” Swarbrick won’t open his wallet just shows you what a terrible leader he is. Meanwhile, we’re stuck with some small-timey clownfraud who’s in over his head.
(Please, don’t take this seriously)

I put it in this kind of context
Would I, who love what I do in sports medicine, give up my job to become a cardiovascular surgeon for 1-2 million dollars a year? Absolutely not. There’s no amount of money you can pay me to do that. This assumption that you drop a lot of cash (yes I know you’re joking burger) and someone would be willing to do anything is absurd.
And yet some people believe that
They think our administration refuses to write checks to get Stoops/Meyer/Saban/whoever, because “they all want to coach at Notre Dame”, which is obviously false.

The "convo" going over at you know where about Saban vis a vis Notre Dame
Encapsulates all that is wrong with our fan base.
Self-hating.
Pissy.
Championing the notion that Notre Dame can just throw enough money at Saban and he’ll come to South Bend because WE’RE NOTRE DAME!!.
And most importantly, trotting out the idea as fact that it’s the administration’s fault that Saban isn’t or won’t come to ND because they won’t pony up the money.

Not to mention
deluding themselves that Saban wouldn’t burst into flames upon setting foot on campus
Even the Pope hates the Trojans
Just outta curiosity
why do “they” assume that ND is Saban’s dream job? Has he ever said anything like that. If he did, did he then quickly sign a new contract at his (then present) job?
Well hello there hangover. Fancy meeting you here this bright Thursday morning.

They assume because he apparently showed some interest
7 or 8 years ago.

When he was at MSU and ND was an objectively better job...Okaaaay
Did some reading thru the post…the “hello Jack” response is golden. I was laughing real hard.
They say that money (coach’s salary) is always an issue without really mentioning the other side of the coin. Namely that money (coach’s salary as AD expense) is also always an issue.
