Team Vol checking in. Would not agree with this. We're down to 3rd level at this point. Look for some FRANtastic news soon. That is all.

Catching whales
Whaling was filled with long hours of boredom until the whaleboats were launched and the chase began. The crews raced to reach the whale first, guided by the boatheader (a mate or captain). The men could not simply row fast, however. Whales have acute hearing, so it was important to approach quietly as to not scare them into diving or swimming further away.
As the whaleboat neared the whale, the harpooner would step up. The harpoon, known as a "whale iron," would penetrate the whale's blubber and secure the whale to the whaleboat. The harpoon was not designed to kill the whale. For a four-year voyage, a whaleship would carry 150-200 harpoons. In the late 1800s, the standard harpoon was the Temple toggle iron.
After the harpooner caught the whale, the creature would either dive, turn on the boat, or take off swimming. A rope attached to the harpoon kept the boat near the thrashing whale. The jaws or tail of a 50-ton whale could smash the boat and send crew tumbling into the water. If the whale dove, the crew would let the line run out so as to not be dragged down with it. A seaman caught in the line could be dragged to his death.
If the whale swam away, it would tow the whaleboat behind it. This was called a "Nantucket sleighride." Sperm whales can swim on the surface at more than 20 miles per hour. The crew's goal was to tire out the whale, without being carried too far from the ship and getting lost.
When the whale tired, the crew pulled on the line to draw the boat close to their prey. The boatheader carried a lance forward and plunged it into the whale's heart or lungs. With each breath, the whale spouted blood. The end came when the whale beat the water with its tail, shuddered, and turned over on its side.

We are on the Nantucket Sleighride.

I guarantee it will not be Stoops nor O’Brian will not be the HC @LSU not this round. There is a reason Woodward terminated Orgeron in midseason. Woody probably anticipated Mullen not surviving and it gave him a leg up. He didn’t wanna give any advantage to USC, since they could potentially be going after the same person.
Now who is out there that would be a fit for USC and LSU? That’s probably the next coach.
You can bet Woodward has his guy. I trust Scott a damn lot more than crawfish lawyer, if he is even a lawyer. I hope he’s a better lawyer than he is at giving factual information. If not my guess is he loses a heck of a lot of cases.

This is much different than the method I've seen used at Reggie's.

We have officially entered the Nantucket Sleighride phase, Riley is St. Crispin.

Those methods at Reggie's only require a Cane's box with extra toast and sauce.

TBL's arse! He has been played like a guitar. He's a nervous wreck about Lincoln Riley. But Woodward's white whale is Chris PETERSEN.

Lol
Riley wasn’t harpooned in a relative sense. It’s a stupid analogy unless he had been secured to us.
Either he’s been secured to us or he hasn’t.
Now the story has changed and it’s just so convenient. Now, even if we do hire Riley, the inside scoop was just message board fodder as it all changed since now TBL says we are into second tier coaches.
So what is it? Was Riley harpooned or not?
