Joe, let's bring back Jimbo.
"Sorry, can't afford him."

Pound out a deal with Herman.
"Sorry, LSU will Not overpay."

Then get to work on that coaching search.
"Sorry, I decided to hire Orgeron.. a great feel-good story. The fanbase
will galvanize around that accent."

Sounds naive, even a bit risky.
"Sorry, my racquetball friends already weighed-in.. one of them is
an expert on polling & new-media."

Can you back that up with actual data, to maximize our position?
"Sorry, lots of inertia. Things in motion. Just go with it."

Well, like you said, don't overpay.
"Sorry, just invested 12-mil. My racquetball expert says it's psychology,
the new trend is up-front-incentives. Pure genius."

< This Fall >

Joe, we need accountability...show some leadership.
"Sorry, it's the coaches responsibility to protect my job -- make sure
they don't get me fired !"



Below is the Pulse Rifle from my nephew's favorite video game 'Destiny' - it's got some
arse kicking weapons.

For comic relief. or sanity.. we ain't getting any younger.
