He mentioned when Saban was first shown around LSU, he was blown away by the facilities, in a bad way. Saban basically made a list of demands on the spot that he felt were non-negotiable if people really wanted the program to succeed.


Thank god for us.

Have you ever read about how bad Hawaii’s facilities were when June Jones was there?

Joe Johnson fricking Willie Roaf's wife


Can’t remember the exact year but it was between 1998-2001. I was at the Gold Club in BR. I see Willie Roaf in there at a booth table by himself. Some girl with us didn’t believe it was a real Saints player so she went and asked him. He stayed there all night alone with a few lap dances. End of the night while waiting on the valets, that chick brought him over to meet me. Talked to him for a second and he was cool. Just odd to me that he was there by himself the whole night and in BR. Never saw him with a drink either. I guess his wife made him leave the house when she was banging the Joe’s.

Also heard his wife may have been a stripper which would make since but I have no idea if that’s true.

To sum it up they were the worst ever. Moldy carpets, broke busted toilets, lightbulbs burned out in the offices, weight equipment rusted out, leaking roofs, parking lot flooded every time it rained, windows boarded up with plywood. Coaches literally kept kids away from the athletic facilities when they were recruiting them.

So basically like the SCLSU Muddogs

The NBA made Jordan “retire” to cover up his suspension for gambling.

I never knew about all that, but I knew Aloha Stadium was on the verge of being condemned when he was there.

Crazy to think SMU was probably more like paradise to Jones.

I mean June Jones left a 12-1 Hawaii program to go to a 1-11 SMU team. It had to be terrible.

lot of college athletes get STDs and it gets spread easily around the team. All the guys hook up with the cleat chasers who will hook up with anybody on the team

Hell, this happened on my high school team. When I was a Junior, some senior girl was fricking everyone at some party some seniors threw one weekend. About 2 weeks later, a concerned parent had found out and brought it to the coaches attention after his son had to be treated for the clap. We had a big team meeting about it and about 5 or 6 other dudes got embarrased as frick when they had to admit to the coach they probably needed to get treated too

Mike Norvell (Memphis football head coach) apparently has something seriously shady in his past that is preventing him from getting hired by other schools.


There has never been a source to this. Only Arkansas fans upset that Norvell turned them down last offseason.

The rumors range from gambling to coeds to drinking to drugs. Because there is no rumor. Just a threat of one because Arkansas got butthurt at their boy not giving them an interview.

How is that crazy? SMU is a very rich school.

Hawai'i is dirt poor across the board.

Interesting. I wonder why he would feel that away about an SEC job coming from the Big 10.


I think people might forget that the Big Ten was perceived to be the top dog at the time and had been for quite a while. Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State were all at the top of their game, and a lot of the rest of the conference was pretty solid across the board. The SEC was Florida, Tennessee, and a bunch of nothing after that.

It wasn’t really until the Florida/OSU title in 2006 game did the Big Ten balloon really get popped.

A girl I know claimed that miles wanted her really bad. That she had voicemails and all. Of course she never produced the voicemails. She was a crazy blonde that was definitely bi. I’d say this was around 2012-2013.
