re: Favorite SEC football coach you have met

Met Ken Hatfield who played a joke on me as an usher in 2007. Nicest person I have ever met. Too bad hog fans treated him like shite in the 80s.
Hatfield is no doubt one the nicest people on Earth.
When I moved to Houston in my early 20s, he was HC at Rice. I was on the campus one day, and a friend dared me to go to his office and see if I could meet him. I went in, told his assistant I was a lifelong Hog fan, and just wanted to say hello. She said he was out of the office and did I want to leave a name and number. I said what the hell and did. Figured it was to just get me out of there, which I understood,
Later that afternoon, I was at home and the phone rang. I couldn't believe that it was Hatfield. He was incredibly nice, talked to me for at least 10 minutes, and invited me to come back by the office and he'd give me some tickets to a game that fall. I know, it's not a hard ticket, but to take the time to call back a random stranger who was a fan speaks volumes about what an incredible person he is.

Interesting take.

One change to make:
Sweeps: Change Arkansas' 1 sweep to Alabama, not Auburn
Got Swept: Add a 2nd for Alabama (Arkansas)
Great work though!

They are only beyond reproach if people sit back and refuse to call out their actions out of fear. More people need to step up, speak out, and when they feigned outrage starts, stand the frick up and hold your ground.
It will only take a few to do it for the many that feel the same way to be okay doing it.
It's the fricking "I'm sorry" crowd that keeps this going on. Let a few proudly call it out, stand by it, and see what the domino affect will be..

There is no cap, but Augusta now strongly recommends that former champs stop playing when they can't play at least to a reasonable level.
I can remember when Billy Casper, Gay Brewer, and other former champions used to go out there an hack it around for 2 days into their 60s/70s. Augusta would send them out right after the honorary starters finished.
As long as people like Couples and Langer can play reasonably, I don't think Augusta has any issue with them playing.

NC State winning the 83 NCAA Tourney has to be up there.
Had to win every game in the ACC tournament just to get in the field, then won it all by beating a team no one in America thought they could beat. They probably could have played Houston 10 more times and not come close to winning. But, they did it when it counted.

You should look into the concept of “ghost jobs”.
"Ghost jobs" are online job postings for roles that do not exist or that employers have no immediate intention to fill, with research indicating up to 34% of companies currently use them. These listings, often used to build talent pipelines, signal growth, or manage current staff, waste applicant time and create false impressions of a robust job market.
There is another issue that is causing some of the 'Ghost Jobs'. I'm a manager in accouting for a pretty large corporation. Our HR department makes us post any job opening that we have internally (which also auto posts it on numerous job sites) even when we already know who we are going to hire for the position. Thus, for at least 5-10 days, there a job posted that no one will ever even consider any of the applications. It absolutely pisses off every manager, and I've even tried to make the outside posting argument to stop it. No luck. Just another example of HR departments being absolutely useless.

I get the concern, but bottom line is that Ted Cruz has always had popularity issues as well. Everyone said he was in trouble in 2018, but he still beat the media God Beto, and then crushed Collin Allred in 2024. Both Beto and Allred had far more unified Dem support than what is happening now.
If it's Crockett, she has no chance and it will be a bloodbath. If it's Talarico, I have a feeling ol' Jasmine isn't going to take the loss well and will not unify the party like it was both times against Cruz. Paxton (most likely), while having baggage, still wins relatively easily.

I truly hope his end is as peaceful as possible...but all this fawning over him as some great human is a little over the top.
When the camera was on, he was one person. Day to day working with him was another. He was known to be a colossal prick to anyone he deemed an underling...which was most staff he dealt with day to day. I know personally how people within the athletic department at Arkansas absolutely hated him.
And, don't forget this prime example of what a prick he could be... berating a young female intern because he thought he was too important to stand and wait for an interview for 90 seconds.
Just watch that camera grin completely turn to a scowl and him storming off when the camera interview turns off.
May his end be peaceful, more peaceful than how he treated day to day people he worked with.

re: Gary Patterson to USC as Defensive Coordinator
Posted by hogwildinhouston on 1/23/26 at 6:46 pm to saintsfan22
What's interesting is that defense was more the problem in Patterson's later years at TCU. He seemed to struggle with the modern offenses.
Maybe just his experience will help Riley learn to be a better HC, and that's the real goal.
