Fucking shit.

But yeah, I blame Anderson for a few things, but the sport cuts are on Debbie Yow, not him. Plus, he brought in Turgeon, who I love.

was forced to cut eight varsity sports

That is not Andersons fault. I will not argue that Anderson has made a bunch of mistakes and the Edsall regime is not well liked among the fanbase. Those sports were cut because of the excessive spending of the previous regime on non-revenue producing sports which placed a heavy debt load on the athletic department.
Everything else that you want to blame on Anderson please do. But those seven sports being cut are not on him at all.

I guess when you’ve had the success that Edsall’s had at Maryland, you can do whatever you want.

Edsall-Anderson duumvirate

In the vernacular, we call this Tyrus being Tyrus.

OSU hired Eugene Withers

Wrong name …. and yeah, hiring random defensive assistants (not even a coordinator) is much more topical. He going to teach Braxton how to complete forward passes?

Which isn’t a problem at schools like Maryland and Oregon, as they have no tradition.

Touché.

The uniforms are still stupid.

If you entertain their sartorial whims, you are saying that they are more important than the school itself and it’s traditions.

Hey Vlad, most OSU fans don’t even give a shit who the assistant coaches are.

Oregon can’t hear you over the all the cha-chinging from 3 straight BCS bowls.

Alabama. Texas. Auburn. Georgia. LSU. Ok, maybe the last two aren’t the best examples, but you recruit a kid to play for the school and have a chance of success at the next level. If you entertain their sartorial whims, you are saying that they are more important than the school itself and it’s traditions.

I think it’s a wonderful decision for a school to have its colors and traditions dictated by the whims of 18 year old kids. Seems very logical.

18 year olds do love the uniforms though, and to say otherwise is naive. They do not, however, like losing football games.

P.S. For those assuming 18-year-olds love the uniforms, Maryland currently has Rivals’ 12th ranked recruiting class in the ACC, out of 12 teams. This is their lowest place, since Rivals started ranking in 2002. Their second worst was last year’s 9th place finish. The Terps will land just one of the top 13 recruits in Maryland this year.

Probably has more to do with the staff and not the unis.

Craig James thinks this is a swell hire and can’t wait to speak in favor of it during his many bowl appearances.

Craig James thinks it’s such a great hire, he’s going to ask Mike Locksley to be his campaign manager.

Damn – gotta read more closely – this is beyond astounding, though. Kind of reinforces the point about Malzhan’s wife – if they think you can help them win, there’s no such thing as too toxic.

OSU hired Eugene Withers. That’s way more topical and relevant than this shit bag and shit program.

If you want to cry for more Ohio State coverage at least get the coaches name right.

Good thing they didn’t hire Mike Leach – their reputation would have been shot.
