Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Will Never Top Michael Jordan

MACK BROWN HIRES MORE MACK BROWNS TO DO WHATEVER MACK BROWN DOES

You might be wondering why I, Mack Brown, would need $5 million dollars a year. Well, first, I need to give some of it right back to the great state of Texas, and to the fine men and women who make it what it is: the greatest state in the union. I do this by paying taxes, just like any good American would. You like that rutted toll road, Houstonians? Say thank you to Daddy Mack for a good twenty foot strip of that.

Then, because this is a big job for a big state, I'll need to set aside some for my long-suffering family. Contrary to the terms of my contract Ol' Mack isn't going to live forever, so it's important that I get things set for them in my absence. For those purposes, I have brought the talents of veteran character actor Beau Bridges. He's warm, avuncular, and while not intimidating is certainly capable of being the firm but caring father figure I know I won't be able to be after my departure from the Great State of Texas. Beau will start these duties playing family Mack immediately in order to free me up to tend to my football obligations.

Star-divide

With this money, I would then need to take care of my second family, The Texas Longhorns. You might recall how I've brought on such great talent to help this university in the past, like current Texas assistants Manny Diaz and Bryan Harsin. I'd like to announce the latest member of our staff, a person who i believe will bring an energy to the role of "Coach Mack Brown" that hasn't been seen in years

Playing the role of me on select gamedays, non-BCS bowls, and during weekly press conferences, I present the new "Coach Mack Brown," veteran thespian Ben Gazzara.

Mack_252520treehorn_jpg_medium

I assure you, Mr. Gazzara's sixty years of acting experience make him an ideal candidate for this position. I've seen him clap, and it is a spectacle of theatrical skill unlike anything I've seen. He was also in Road House, the only film I have ever seen.

Mr. Gazzara's understudy is also a new hire. Carl Weathers brings a wealth of experience to the job, and while his apperance as "Mack Brown" may be a bit jarring, I assure you the spirit he conveys as "Mack Brown" overcomes any doubts as to his ability to play the role.

Mack_252520weathers_jpg_medium

Finally, with the proceeds of my $5 million, I will finally delegate some of my duties for phone interviews and recruiting calls to Tendulkar Phone Services of Hyderabad, India.

If you need me, I will be doing the important business of the Texas football program, and helping lead us back to Big 12 Titles and the BCS Title Game at my ranch. Thank you for this contract extension. Mr. Gazzara will take any further questions on this matter.

Duke women's hoops have a decent following among the students

I think it’s still a tougher sell in the rest of the community.

What I don’t understand about the student section issues is that, if the section isn’t going to fill up with campers, you don’t have to camp out. I got into all but two games in my two years of grad school down there on the undergrad line (I looked really young and they didn’t have card readers yet) and never waited on line more than six hours — even for Carolina.

In the 80's they tried to take away the premium seating from the students at K-State.

It was pointed out that the students had a contract for the seating since they helped finance the building. Hopefully the next generation of K-State Student Government will remember to do this as well.

So far it has worked for great student seats in Ahearn and Bramlage.

I'm all for a playoff

But not one with just conference champions (and I felt this way long before this year, haterz). I don’t want to see a coach consider sitting his starters in the Iron Bowl cause he already has the SEC West sewn up. I don’t want to see an 8-4 Big East team on equal footing with a beat-up SEC or Big 12 who just played 5 other top 20 teams. This is the most you will ever hear me say about it though, because I am an Alabama fan and therefore not allowed to have an opinion on the matter.

But basically, the mid-majors are in a no-win situation.

Option 1: continue as normal and continue to get disrespected.
Option 2: Sell your soul and everything your football existence has been to this point to join a major conference.
Option 3: don’t have any delusions of competing for anything meaningful.
Option 4: play all of your OOC games on the road against major conference teams and cost your school tons of cash.

I'm not sure how true the arguments are any more though.

TCU and Boise were left out in 2009, but so was Cincinnati, a BCS school. TCU may have a case for 2010, but it’s no different than Auburn in 2004. After Utah and Boise in their games against Bama and Oklahoma, respectively, I find it hard to believe an undefeated non-AQ school with at least one marquee victory would be passed over for a one-loss AQ school. If Boise had hit that field goal this year, they would’ve played LSU.

You'd need at least a 32-team playoff before resting starters in a 12-game season is plausible

in any game where a loss is even remotely possible, anyway. One loss will always have a major negative impact on seeding, and two will put an at-large spot in jeopardy.

Except seeding would introduce a very clear subjective factor into the final rankings

In which case, if it’s the media or coaches – they will absolutely take into account very obvious cases of resting an entire team at the end of a season before a conference championship.

1. Members of the 1968 WS team
2. Members of the 1984 WS team
3. Mark Fidrych
4. Justin Verlander

If the Tigers win a WS while he is here, Cabrera will be on that list as well.

Same here:

Church of the Holy Trinity v. the United States. z Congress passed the law because Armour & Co. were importing workers. Congress passes a law about the rules for bringing people into the USA. z SCOTUS overrules because this was not in the reason/intent of the statute. Also, the unwritten word here was ‘manual’. They were gunning for laborers, not ministers et. al. Court says It was within the letter of the statute. z

Blew a fog horn in the office.

Receptionist storms in my office saying, “Don’t do that I was raised in the ghetto.”

I replied, “Who the fuck blow an air horn before they start shooting?”

Good morning, good morning

It’s great to stay up late! (midafternoon naps are the best part of being back in undergrad-ish)

Really?

Has no one mentioned that there’s a picture up there of Mac Brown’s face on the body of Jackie Treehorn from The Big Lebowski? Did that slip by everyone, or is that sort of thing too pedestrian to merit mention?
