WELCOME BLOGPOLLERS!
Welcome, Blogpollers. Please find our discussion posted below under the picture of Shaun and Ed discussing the best way to dispatch their zombified neighbors. We hope our cromulence embiggens your expectations of the upcoming season.
GENIUS WATCH: “ART OF NEGOTIATION” EDITION
Gary Barnett is eager to coach Colorado and deserves a contract extension, says Gary O’Hagan. That’s good of Gary, since he is Barnett’s agent and should be saying those kind of things, but he’s not the only one thinking this these days: Colorado has begun contract negotiations with Barnett, who has a two million dollar bonus due under the terms of his current deal if he stays through 2005. For an 8-5 coach with the stench of scandal surrounding him, this seems outrageous. Colorado, though, may be doing something very sane by renegotiating the deal: creating a win-win situation for the University with a new deal crafted around the dual options of keeping Barnett if he rolls the 2005 schedule, or dumping Barnett for less back-loaded money while creating convenient loopholes needed to hire an emerging coach come November and the speculation season.
Gary Barnett, Super-Genius, ready to light the candle on his contract negotiations.
Gregg Brandon is one suggestion, especially with his Colorado ties, but taking the job after his old boss Barnett is pushed out might not appeal to him. We think the ideal match currently coaches 90 miles north of Boulder in Laramie, Wyoming. Joe Glenn is hot, he’s regional, and he’s eminently likeable, which would count for something in comparison to the tone-deaf Barnett. (Who, by the way, is not a girl, and therefore not terrible.) If Barnett doesn’t impress this season, Colorado could do well to get a cowboy to reestablish order on the ranch.
WEIS TELLS FRESHMEN TO SHUT UP.
Weis tells the media that, in addition to all interview requests going through him, freshman should shut the hell up, too. Of course, unless they’ve done something. Then the media can ask them if they’re ready to talk. Unless they’re freshmen, who can’t talk. Is this a Jesuit logic puzzle? Or is Weis just doing an imperfect Tuna impression? (Via BenMaller.com.)
WE LIKE YOU! SORT OF…
Mike Shula, who had been clearing his throat loudly and pointing at AD Mal Moore’s checkbook while raising his eyebrows suggestively, gets his wishes with a staggering ONE YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION for ZERO DOLLARS MORE than he’s already making. Note: the basketball coach at Alabama now makes more than Shula. Ai-yuh…
