NICK SABAN, SHARK WITH OPPOSABLE THUMBS

PEBBLE BEACH, CA - FEBRUARY 09:  Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban hits out of a small, inch-deep divot on the tenth hole during the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am at the Spyglass Hill Golf on February 9, 2012 in Pebble Beach, California.  He sucks at golf.  (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)

"Don't blame the shark," said a thousand childhood documentaries about sharks. Sharks are a very important part of a child's education for some reason. Statistically you're more likely to die by pretty much any other cause of death, but we are not a nation of math. We go by our guts, and our guts say that the things our children need to know most about are extinct reptiles, sharks, and sort of vague things about space.

You can't really blame the shark. Not only are they just trying to eat, they're surprisingly fragile. They need food, and have to go all over the place to get it. On the metaphorical highway, this is our offramp to talking about Nick Saban, and about what sharks have to do to keep eating on the recruiting trail, particularly large football animals like the Alabama football program.

The shark in question says the four-year scholarship is no real adjustment.

Saban said he has "no problem" with multiyear scholarships because "they aren't that big of a change." "Most of the conditions are still the same," he says. "The player will still have to be academically eligible. He will still have to obey team rules and regulations. And the player is still going to have the same rights and the same appeals process that he has now.

It probably is not that much of a difference for Alabama, but the wiggling around in the terminology is just a sign of how fragile your well-compensated college football coach really is. This goes beyond Saban. At root, when you strip away the Daniel Moore paintings, the statues, and grown men calling another grown man "Coach," the demands of a few underpowered and overly talented teenagers can change the terms of engagement. This is why coaches drink. This is why they have holes in their stomachs.

These are fragile creatures, the superpredator sharks of our college football ecosystem. They need care. They need protection. They're...walking up the ladder. They're in the boat and walking around asking where the key to the gun locker are and figuring out how to operate the GPS system. Damn you, Saban Shark. We change the rules and you just keep growing thumbs and fangs and laser-eyes and stuff. This continues the worst remake of The Thing EVER.

From his perspective, it probably looked like a bunker at St. Andrews.

And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it.

If Saban doesn't mind telling a LOI-signed 4* recruit he has to greyshirt with days to go before the season starts

he certainly won’t have any trouble finessing a junior lineman that hasn’t put on weight as fast as hoped out of the last two years of his scholarship.

It wasn't Philon.

Phylum is a high school senior. He was told he would have to grayshirt before signing day so he hadn’t signed an LOI. And February isn’t days before the season.
The only time I know of a player being told he would grayshirt after signing was at LSU in 2010 I believe. That guy had already moved in and was getting ready for the start of camp.

Truth and context has no place on EDSBS or in oversigning debates.

Yeah, I dunno

I think that the 4 year scholarship isn’t really going to change typical procedure 99% of the time, it just formalizes what already happens. But maybe that is still a good thing.

"It probably is not that much of a difference for Alabama"

Hey, no one said the four years can’t have two of the years be on a “medical hardship” after a particularly violent sneeze or toe-stub on a blocking sled.

by Yinka Double Dare on Feb 29, 2012 6:12 PM EST reply actions  

You mock, but this is exactly right.

Saban, contrary to popular belief, has never* outright cut a kid; they either violate team rules or go on medical hardship. Now whether or not those are legit is another question all together, but either way, it won’t change a damn thing.

*While at Alabama that I remember.

I did not see it, because I was at work.

But if Italy were a basketball team, they would combine the plodding playing style of Wisconsin with the flopping and ref-baiting of Duke. They are perhaps the most hateable sports team imaginable.

My girlfriend had a professor at GSU (who I thankfully never had for a grad class)

who put a portion on tests (without telling students it was going to be there) that they had to give proper citations in Turabian without having the book. Who the fuck does that?!? That’s why we HAVE the book in the first place! The professor said she would expect seniors to be able to give proper Turabian citations without the book. Ummmmm… that’s crazy in my opinion. Sure, I could probably get pretty damn close to a perfect citation without the book, but why would you put that on a test?

May be rather unpleasant at the office tomorrow

I got a call from the help desk at 1945 that the dashboard can’t connect to the database. I went through this with these people back in December that I am NOT to be on 24/7 call, but that I took the job to design a schema and write integration code, NOT to be a core DBA. Yet since starting there in October I’ve been continually dragged into backups, streams management, installations and even, God help me, Linux systems administration. I’ve written about 200 lines of code, and only now have been able to get started on what I was supposed to be doing.

It is no part of my contract to be on 24/7 support, nor does it even authorize it. There will be words tomorrow.

Oh, it won't get that serious

But this is classic bait-and-switch, and I’ve been around the barn too many times to fall for it. I’ve got 28 years of working with DoD systems, 25 in development, and 14 as a DBA/architect. I know what I signed up for and what I didn’t; and if the words “on call support” had even been mentioned in the interview I would have turned it down. I took it BECAUSE it involved designing a schema and developing the code to support the app.

I was kind of miffed that so much of the job had already been done, because I like starting from scratch and gathering requirements, and building the whole thing myself. I’ve already shuddered at some of the things I’ve seen in the design, and my overall opinion is that it’s over-engineered and under-thought.

So there’ll be no problem tomorrow.

Well, you're on break, which means you can sleep for 12 hours every day.

I bought new batteries, which still beeped. I opened a window and blasted the fan while I was at work, and put the batteries back in when I got home. Still beeped.

The window is closed, because it’s 40 and raining. The fan remains on. Hopefully whatever this is can sort itself out soon enough.

(This happened junior year of college as well, but we just took the battery out, which was fine except for the time one of my roommates put a paper plate in the toaster oven.)

Perhaps call the power company to check it out. They have special equipment to verify a leak/verify a faulty detector.

When I was in Kalamazoo, I recall that my landlord had to pay for this inspection when my detector went off. I can’t recall if that was a clause in my lease, but it may be similar for you.

by Attie Hat on Feb 29, 2012 10:03 PM EST up reply actions  

It looks like a faulty detector.

Reading the label on the inside of the battery cover says “Replace batteries when unit chirps every 30 seconds”, which is what it’s been doing (even after replacing the batteries). I take this to imply that it does something more obnoxious if there’s actual carbon monoxide in the room. The machine’s probably just dying.

I’ll call the building superintendent tomorrow or Friday or something to get a new one. I guess it could be worse.

Had the gas company (the one that actually owns and operates the lines, not the one that bills you) come out, and they fixed it in about an hour. You already pay for their services through your bill, so it shouldn’t cost you anything.

I meant to say, before my laptop decided to send me four pages away, that it may be hard to see, but there is a center rocket engine. The outer engines are expendable on landing. If they make it, great, but if they don’t, I can take off on the center engine alone. I found the four engines to be more stable than four fins; plus, I think that four engines make for an easier landing by spreading the thrust over a larger area. Like sitting on a four-legged vs. one-legged chair.

Great, great school. Damned shame about the basketball team.

More seriously, it’s hard to go wrong spending some time on Franklin Street exploring, but I’d also encourage you to head north out of town on NC-86 about six or seven miles to eat at Allen & Sons Barbecue. The entire Triangle area is a great place to be a graduate student — three good research universities that share a lot of resources, some interesting outside activities for younger folks, and relatively cheap rent compared to towns where most similarly prestigious schools are located.

Londonjoe lives in Durham right now, so he knows a lot more about it these days than I do.

. . . Crooks Corner is a local classic and a long-time temple of “new Southern” cooking. Bill Neal, the guy who used to run the place, was a legend. Other aspects of Chapel Hill are similar to Ann Arbor, but the town is a bit smaller and the entire place is prettier — particularly once the azaleas start blooming.

. . . you’ll think you’ve gone too far out of town and missed it. You haven’t. It’s off of NC-86 (Airport Road) on the left hand side at the corner of Mount Sinai Road and next to the railroad tracks. It looks like hell on the outside — just like a good BBQ place is supposed to, and you’ll see a full parking lot.

After midnight on a rainy night last week in Chapel Hill, N.C., a large group of sorority women at the University of North Carolina squeezed into the corner booth of a gritty basement bar. Bathed in a neon glow, they splashed beer from pitchers, traded jokes and belted out lyrics to a Taylor Swift heartache anthem thundering overhead.

Princes Hot Chicken...

mentioned above (Nashville).

We got the hot because drinking buddy thought they had extra hot and this wouldn’t be as hot… WRONG. they have Hot, medium and mild.

Now, you may have to wait because they only have a few ‘seasoned’ pans to fry it in and its one of those places popular with the locals. there are tables there, but they are for waiting, not dining.

The story goes that a woman was mad at her man for running around on him and was going to get even. So, she made the hottest chicken she could to get even with him. Turns out, he liked it. The rest is history…

Anyway, we got the hot and took it back to the hotel room. It’s a piece of chicken on a slice of bread with hot sauce dripping down it. Let me just say we like hot food, so we didn’t think it could be that hot. So i grab a little piece of bread that has some hot sauce on it just to get a taste…

I ate it… grabbed a beer, downed it quickly, stuck my head under the faucet and drank copious amounts of water.. but still it burned!!! red liquid started dripping from my nose. No, it wasn’t bleeding, the hot sauce had burned through to my brain and was cooking it out!

Once I got over the initial burn, i peeled the skin off, which had the most hot sauce on it, and just tried to eat the meat. Still, the hottest food I’ve ever eaten.

So, you’ve been warned…

This is why newbies are advised to get mild or, at the most, medium their first time.

I love hot food, and my roommate laughs at the ‘911’ wings at Hooters, but neither of us have moved past Medium at Prince’s.

There’s actually a step ABOVE what you had, it’s referred to as the “cleansing chicken”, because you cannot be very far away from a toilet for 24 hours after eating it…

I just had a horrible realization...

Somewhere in Alabama there has been a production of Romeo and Juliet where the families were rival fans, and this was done completely unironically.

I go in for two days next week to shadow the current person in the position.

(Who was promoted from within, which is always good to hear). Then I start for real a week from Monday, on the 12th.

It's Green Beer Day . . .

. . . in Oxford, Ohio.

http://www.wlwt.com/video/30577060/detail.html

Miami used to schedule spring break over St. Patrick’s Day, so the students just declared GBD the Thursday before break. Looks like the entire thing has moved up a week this year.

I only got to Green Beer Day once...

I’d love to go back, before I’m so old that it’s obvious I’m too old for it
