re: Bielema and Gus are puzzling hires
Posted by Maize&BlueTiger on 12/4/12 at 3:42 pm
Another coach was hired some years ago from a Big 10 school that had performed only decently, in order to try and resurrect a floundering SEC program with a rich history. As I recall, that worked out fairly well.
A coach can only do what the available talent permits him to do. Lighten up....

re: Evidence Strongly Suggesting Alabama Officiating Bias

How does the comparison work when it's 'Bama vs. Auburn. Or Tennessee. Or Mississippi State? Is it a pro-Bama bias or an anti-LSU bias?
Your data is insufficient to justify any conclusion. ...

I think you made the case against your position with the use of that one word. You define LSU's performance over the last 5 years as "mediocrity"? If so, th...

It will be interesting to see who actually reads your thoughtful and mature analysis, and who decides it has too many hard words, prepositional phrases and commas to be taken seriously.
FWIW, I agree with you. ...

Putting aside the problem that newspapers have become, even on their "news" pages, apologists for whatever political point of view will boost their readership, people don't read "good" newspapers because they can't be bothered...

I agree that Warner is in over his head when he tries to write a piece in this style. However, what I don't agree with is that there is no value to sports...

Warner isn't writing a sports story. He's writing an editorial opinion piece--perhaps the last bastion of moderately erudite writing in what's left of the journalism profession.
Students in "The Paper Chase" were in law school at Harvard. They didn't write term papers, at least not in Kingsle...

[quote]the best team you have ever had 1959, almost lost to a mediocre clemson team[/quote]
That was 1958 (January 1, 1959). Clemson was relevant then. That was 54 years ago. Whenever you have to go back more than about 4 months to find something to argue from, you've lost already.
