so you think the GM will give access, on his evaluations, to any employee of the athletic dept. by putting his evaluations for all eyes to see?
No, not what I said or implied at all. Anyone with recruitment duties would have access. They need to have access to properly do their job of reaching out and recruiting players.

IF he had taken anything he wasn't supposed to take, Auburn would have sued him. AGAIN, he took HIS evaluations. He left what his staff compiled.
This is exactly the opposite of what I am arguing. He left everything. The excuse that he didn’t is bunk and someone is bullshitting to cover for AG just importing USF to Auburn. Granted, I do think AG was in a tough spot but should have known that a lot of those players weren’t going to translate to the SEC.

Do you think, in the NFL, every employee in the front office has access on player evaluations done by the GM..............or maybe it's just the HC?
I think coaches and the GM have access to draft and free agent evals to weigh in on how to build the team. Different flavor of the college setup. In either circumstance, those evals aren’t just living on one person’s laptop. They are shared with limited, appropriate staff so they can recruit players and be informed of the recruitment status, fit, intangibles and just overall ability. They aren’t hoarded by the GM. These people are on the same team and the GM is there to make recruiting easier not set up unnecessary barriers to recruiters by guarding his person stash of evaluations.

You can't be this dense.
I mean, this seems rather rich coming from someone insisting that the GM isn’t using the recruiting software provided by the university to assure that all coaches have easy access information they need to successfully recruit players.
Instead, he’s hand-writing his super secret info out on yellow legal pads before every visit, phone call or text a coach makes. Making it impossible for any coach or other recruiter to contact a recruit without him. The stupidest and most inefficient process possible. I know it’s Auburn and Hugh Freeze but damn, if that’s true, fire every single athletic department employee that ever had anything to do with the football program. Even the guys that clean the bathrooms or sell boiled peanuts should know that’s dumb as frick.

That started with Will Redmond who, imo, is the best in the business at what he does. From my understanding Golesh was under the impression that that network would remain completely intact when he was hired and was a big reason he came here.
When Redmond wasn't retained all of the information and scouting reports they had ready to go for the portal also went with him.
This seems at best wildly unethical and at worst illegal. Unless Redmond was hired as a consultant, which I don’t think is the case, the information he generated as an employee of the athletic department should have stayed with the department and been available to the new staff.
ETA: And I don’t think this happened, even though it is a good yarn about how we just moved USF north to Auburn. There is no way that Redmond was the only one with access to those scouting reports. And I don’t believe the athletic department would allow him to delete the information he compiled as an employee on the way out the door, either in the moment or after the fact by pursuing it legally.

Same here. Just diagnosed 4 four months ago at age 47. Hoping the treatment and bone marrow transplant go well so I can be around for my wife and kids as long as possible.
Sorry to hear about your wife Slippy. Hope she beats it and you all have lots more time together. It’s pretty amazing how quickly priorities change.

Waiting to hear if I have smoldering myeloma or full-on active myeloma right now. It’s quite the experience to watch every life plan you have blown up in your face. Hoping for good news that gives me hope for seeing my kids start at least the first stages of their adult life. This diagnosis phase is just brutal.

How the hell does this work? Do all these guys exclusively take online classes now? How is ol buddy back in Jersey in the middle of the semester?
Or option 2 is that we’re just past the point of even pretending that these guys are student athletes.

this is just like Iraq does not equal we are fighting Israel’s war (unless this is an unintentional admission on your part that you think our involvement in Iraq fit this bill)

We don’t need this idiotic line that Bibi has been saying for at least 20 years does not equal we are fighting Israel’s war

the 22 seconds away from having a nuke bullshite has been untrue for 20+ years does not equal we are fighting Israel’s war

You are conflating tangentially related statements that do not say what you claim. Yes, they do “have a shred of bearing on the current conflict in 2026” but they, in no way, assert that we are fighting Israel’s war. To the contrary, I explicitly pointed out in my previous post the primary reason that I think we are fighting this war and it has nothing to do with Israel.
And, lastly, this is a lie:
You actually seem pretty hung up on him and what he said. You can’t resist rehashing some dumb X post by him that was shared 10 days and 166 pages ago. A post where Walsh didn’t even forcefully argue against the war and only called himself a skeptic. Get a fricking grip.

Find where I said that we are fighting Israel’s war. You can’t because I didn’t say that. Apparently you’re still salty because I pushed back on your implication that Walsh is a traitor because he’s not 100% falling in line with what right-leaning commentators are supposed to say.
But since you asked, I think the U.S. is primarily fighting for petrodollar hegemony and to isolate China.

So basically the Iranian regime needs to be completely denied access to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman due to the aquatic drones. Including all Iranian coastline, that’s a bit over 1500 miles to patrol. For comparison, this would be like having to deny water access from Pensacola, FL to Naples, FL. And that’s just to protect against submersibles and fast boats. It does nothing to protect against aerial attacks on shipping or our Naval vessels.
It’s really hard to believe that they don’t have some plan to counter this that isn’t boots on the ground. However, it’s also rather difficult to believe that this would be allowed to happen if they did have a reliable countermeasure.

Yeah, at least a portion of ‘these people’ are called the FBI. Those frickers have been Pied Piper-ing young conservative men (and other groups) like this for a couple decades or more. And we have an epidemic of uneducated young men working dead-end jobs - if they’re working at all - that are easy to prey on.

Was listening to a Darryl Cooper podcast and he mentioned the 3 THAAD systems being blown up and I think he said we only have one left. Apparently that is making the missile defense much spottier and we’re having to use 2x as many missiles as we’re supposed to to shoot down every one incoming from Iran. Darryl worked on the AEGIS systems on ships and he was not positive at all on our current situation, especially our ability to defend allied Middle Eastern countries not named Israel.

Nobody is saying good journalism is perfection. People are noting that targeting a desalinization plant is so fricking stupid that it should cause the journalist to pause and verify with quite a few sources. Someone who has experience covering war should have red flagged that immediately. Targeting civilian infrastructure is so antithetical to our mission there is no way that gets approved and anyone with two brain cells should know that.

When it comes to public comments on matters of national security and geopolitics, what they say is intended to be obscure and even misleading.
Governments lie and obscure the truth is extremely insightful.
However, when you can sell something with the verifiable truth you should do it, and we clearly can in this case. Nobody believes that Iran was days away from a nuke and most who aren’t blue-haired freaks are still onboard with the ongoing military action. The fact that you feel the need to argue the other side of this is insane when there is no benefit to the lie.

Nowhere did I say this was my expectation. I just said that the 22 seconds away from having a nuke bullshite has been untrue for 20+ years and almost certainly wasn’t the reason for this attack. I don’t really think we have to rely on bullshite tactics to sell this to the American people at this point. Iran pretty much stands in opposition to every liberal, democratic value held by Americans and has been at the center of conflict in the ME for decades.

Not a lot of other similarities so far, but this is just like Iraq. And people react the same dumbass way when you notice, suggesting you don’t support the military operation. Most people are perfectly fine if they just say Iran had this coming for a long time and seeded conflict all across the ME. We don’t need this idiotic line that Bibi has been saying for at least 20 years to reconcile this.
