    The very best.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
3 paragraphs to "Consistently compete for championships".

GE CEO reference in question #2.

Sounds like we are going to get pounded by three yards and a cloud of dust teams.

Good, fresh stuff here.  :jerkoff: Some of the "highlights":

"A lot of hard work."
"We've had a plan to try to put in place."
"And I think that obviously our goals and objectives are to consistently compete for championships."
"We're excited about building upon what [Snyder] has accomplished there. And we think the future is very, very bright."
"We came here to win championships and to compete for them."

Also, big props to whoever did the transcript for repeatedly misspelling Al Groh's name, and for this gem:  

RP speaking about the increased use of spread offenses:  "But from our standpoint, we believe that what it's allowed, it's allowed greater parody..."

Yessir, Saturday Night Live has gotten noticeably better since the spread offense became the thing.

It's beginning to look like the media isn't really going to get much more out of Prince than they did out of Snyder, but at least he won't get a bad rap because he uses more words to say nothing.

I'm of the belief that Prince was the result of little interest from other coaches. Doesn't mean he won't be successfull, just a strange pick.

Yep, although I got word from an "insider" the day of the Mizzou game that I shouldn't be surprised if it was someone I never heard of.  Lo and behold...

I know that my recent posts have been on the negative side.  I'm not anti-Prince.  I don't know enough about him yet and he hasn't coached a game.  I'm just pointing out that it's entirely possible that we could really tank this year, and that other folks' expectations don't seem to be entirely, um, realistic.  I think it's more likely that we win 2 games this year than that we win 10...more likely that we win 3 than that we win 9...more likely that we win 4 than we win 8, etc.  If we were returning players who had gone just .500 last year, I'd have more room for optimism.

If Prince can recruit I'm all for him.

Players win games.
