Personally, I like the guy a lot. I question some of his coaching decisions, but he is a good guy.
I am not particularly fond of the A.D., but for better or worse, the mindset seems to be that it requires a Davidson guy to understand the Davidson way. Counterpoint: McKillop seems to be getting by just fine.

What, it's harder to win at Davidson than it is at Duke or Wake? or UVA, or Princeton, or heaven knows how many top academic institutions that don't make academics an excuse to play winning soccer...
If there’s any sport where academics is not an excuse, it’s D1 soccer. I mean, the idea that the Davidson way is any more special than the “Princeton” or “Duke” way is pretty dumb. particularly when we’re losing NC recruits to Duke (this happened. kid I know on the roster wanted to play at Davidson but Spear wouldn’t return calls).

To be honest
we don’t want guys just because they are “on the roster” at Duke. During my days, we competed to a significant extent with Duke in recruiting. Some guys chose Davidson. Some did not. We (players and coaches) wanted some of the guys. We did not want some of the others. I am sure if he would have been a good fit to play at Davidson, then Coach would have called him back.

"The greatest sin is to spurn the gift"- Coach Alistair
Most of the neutrals at the stadium hopped on the UNCC bandwagon because their fans were fun and they were the underdog.
Is that the major fall sport at UNCC?

They ran the option decently well against Oregon
And LSU’s only points against Bama were set up by option plays. But good grief, Jefferson hasn’t pulled a move this dumb since kicking a man in the face.

The shovel last night didn't look like a called play to me.
It looked like improvisation to me. He could have run to the first down himself, but out of nowhere, he pitches. The pitch man was already turning around to block for him. Jefferson’s timing and decision making were off all night.

It was a mindfuck improv by JJ. And I loved how he yelled at the blocker nee receiver after the interception as if to say “How could you not know that I had no idea what I was going to do and would panic?!???!!”

Lowest overnight rating ever, PAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWL.
http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2012/01/bcs-alabamalsu-title-game-earns-lowest-overnight-ever/
Notably, the three lowest overnights for the BCS National Championship Game have come in years when there was a controversy regarding which teams should play. The 2002 (14.3) and 2004 (14.4) games featured teams — Nebraska and Oklahoma, respectively — that had failed to win their conference.

Interesting numbers
Fiesta Bowl was 3-4 this year, Rose Bowl was 5-10 – by far higher numbers when higher ranked teams play.

It's more than than that
In addition to the controversy over the rematch, you basically got a regional game with limited appeal in most major media markets. In the 90 minutes it took me to drive home last night (fuck you, very much DC drivers in “snow”), I heard about half an hour of sports talk conversation about how the game had “no buzz” due to the regional match up and being eclipsed by day-after recaps of the NFL playoffs.

I can see the casual fan not giving a shit.
But if it was a rematch between, say, Ohio State and Michigan, and most of non-B1G country was a) up in arms about the rematch and b) legitimately not interested, I’d still watch, because I know it’d be talked about for the rest of the offseason and I’d want to see it for myself and be able to form my own opinions before ESPN told me what to think. Also, did I mention there’s no more college football until September?

If Lee was suspended, why not just say he's suspended before the game?
That way there is no controversy if something happens to Jefferson during the game. What if JJ would have gotten hurt, would they have gone to the third string. I don’t really think this is true.
someone needs to call PAWL today
and suggest that Lee was/is the bagman.

why not announce the suspension. as noted by NP, probably b.s.

Twitter
someone on youtube posted this
not sure if this is sarcastic or just disturbing
notices that they’re driving the nails through the wrist between the forearm bones instead of through the carpals like in most depictions of crucifiction
Holy crap! Someone finally depicted a historically accurate crucifiction! Good job, NMA! I was so sick of seeing the nail through the carpals. That wouldn’t support the victim’s weight. Plus, wrist is more painful. It puts pressure on a nerve in the arm, making it hurt a lot each time the victim moves. Romans knew torture
uh, not sarcastic is my guess...
Actually, yeah, gotta give him a sploosh.

Lots of buzz at afca convention over AM meeting where coaches discussed possible cut of 85 scholarships to 80.

This could be good.
Provided it’s a hard cap, and those are 4 year scholarships, not year to year.

But can Bama still sign 120 and get a pick of the litter after they have enrolled in school.
If so, then nothing changes.
we can only hope.

I've tried to explain all morning to my Bama friend why oversigning is such a bullshit advantage
Not getting anywhere
Imma hang up and listen
He's giving me the whole, well it's legal so everybody should be doing it
Most university presidents have souls, and therefore don’t allow their coaches do it
Imma hang up and listen
Ok well maybe not actual souls
But at least the moral compass to know that oversigning is a dick thing to do
Imma hang up and listen
it's kind of a self-perpetuating problem.
team is good: more kids want to go there
team is real good: more upper tier players want to go there
I, personally don’t care which way they go with it, but i really don’t understand the hand wringing and wailing about it.

Resource starvation on one hand
A kid who thinks he’s on scholarship at Bama isn’t going to consider that second tier of offers from schools that might genuinely need, say, the OL help.
Then on the other hand (player-centric view), once he’s cut, he’s screwed for a year thanks to NCAA transfer rules.
That Hokie freshman in the Greensboro Coliseum rafters didn't see any of this coming.
Eh. I don't care that much about it. It just basically amounts to a soft salary cap.
The Yankees operate completely within the rules, yet have a massive advantage.
I just dislike loopholes.
Imma hang up and listen
Your team can oversign too.
No reason why they shouldn’t.
