62, Will you and the rest of the world please stop saying “meteoric rise?” It doesn’t make sense, meteors don’t rise, they fall. Also, there are several redundancies I wish would go away, such as “end result,” “added bonus” and ATM machine.”

#68, bar passage rates change after every bar exam…when I took mine Florida’s percentage was and had been considerably higher than reFSU’s. Don’t know what the rates are now. Despite the school, just pass the bar…and after you pass make sure you don’t pass another unless its closed. (jk)

Last I heard, FSU has a higher bar passage rate than UF.

Coop @#41…that german must have meant “excrutiatingly slowly”…those guys are so precise in everything I figured they must be better at grammar than I.

#48 about #47…what could be taken as sarcasm? To consider reFSu flagship CC might be appropriate, but beyond that…holy cow, look at your president, for God’s sake. Just an aside…a classmate of mine in lawschool had been on probation for a year and a half at our school and she got a hardship transfer to reFSU where she was on the deanslist for the final three semesters…and it took her three tries to pass the bar…good luck.

Maybe schools don’t want to hire black head coach’s because when they inevitably have to fire them they are forever labeled racist (see ND). I loved Chris Leak and all he did as a Gator but I was glad to see him go just so we didn’t have to have race discussed every time he threw an I-N-T.

I want/need the following words expelled from the collective cfb blog lexicon: Can I add, schadenfreude? Most overdone word in cfb blogs, evah. There's plenty of phrases that have worn out their welcome too, starting with jump the shark.

You are exactly right. Comparing the % of players to the % of coaches proves absolutely nothing. You have to compare the % of viable coaching candidates to the % of coaches.

If young black men are not working as GAs, high school coaches, etc. then it is virtually impossible to ever become a candidate for a Div 1 head coaching job. There are very few young men who are willing to do what it takes to be a Div I head coach. For starters, you have to be willing to make no money, work your ass off, and wait approximately 15-20 years.

How many black men, or any race for that matter, are willing to sacrifice half their life to a wish that may never come true?

37, you hit the nail on the head.

Thats odd… I really would have guessed that more of the country was black than 15%, since even though everyone in the company I used to work for was white, our diversity posters on the wall led me to believe 1 out of every 3 people I met would be black or a hot asian chick
