Skip as AD

Posted by besum1 on 4/3/21 at 6:49 pm
None of Skip's major hires (with the exception of Smoke) met the standards or adhered to the principles he built the success of his baseball program on (The guys who played for him or members of his coaching tree know it as "The System"). Why would he abandon those standards and principles at the AD...
As a former player, I have the utmost respect for Skip as head baseball coach. That being said, Skip hired Miles. I've heard the story he tells in Baton Rouge interviews, but Skip understands the value of having a system (e.g. The Gold Book), the psychology of success, etc. and certainly recogniz...

A robust solution can’t be designed for one set of circumstances that occur in one specific year. A robust solution is designed to work for any potential scenario every year. All Power 5 Champs and 1 Group of Five Champ deserve a bid to minimize political/off-field influence and to provide all of...

I do think all Power 5 Champs and 1 Group of Five Champ deserve a bid to minimize political/off-field influence and to provide all of FBS something to play for, eliminating the potential for another UCF “national championship” claim scenario. Adding two at-large bids to create a field of 8, which pr...

That would be the story... but does anyone believe their fate should be decided by a poll rather than a chance to compete on the field? It’s not their fault a schedule made years in advance turned out to be weak....

Anyone know why he’s not on the depth chart this week?...

Is it just an oversight that Brooks is not listed on this week's depth chart? [link=(https://247sports.com/college/lsu/LongFormArticle/LSU-football-versus-Georgia-depth-chart-week-12-stat-pack-139660994/#139660994_1)]LSU vs. Georgia: Depth chart notes and stat pack[/link]...

re: 5 Power Conferences - 4 Playoff Spots

Posted by besum1 on 12/4/19 at 1:22 pm
Including all Power 5 Conference Champions makes the regular season most meaningful, which has been the argument for a limited/no playoff since before it existed. The entire regular season is required to crown a confernce champion, and it minimizes the corrupting off-field influences. Add the top...
