Does anyone else find it funny that ESPN was hyping up Manzels first cfl game with a day long marathon of his games at ATM and then that happens

What I want to know is who advised Urban to write that? He’s basically admitting he F’ed up and kept a wife beater on his staff lol

I keep waiting to hear Meyer reported it to the assistant of the assistant of the head associate of football relations or some such and that person dropped the ball and has now been fired, but Urban gets to stay.

This is exactly what I think will happen and Zach Smith will back up whomever's story he is told to back up.

I just want to take a minute to talk about something vis a vis this Urban business that really bothers me. This is definitely oversharing, but here it goes anyway.

A while back there was an expose where Urban Meyer talked very openly about his struggles with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have OCD and while popular culture treats it mostly as a compulsion to do things like turn the lights off and on, it can be absolutely debilitating, mentally and emotionally, if it's bad enough, and mine was really bad. Like suicidal bad. I finally got help and it changed my outlook on a lot of things about how we treat mental health more generally. Then you have this amazingly successful football coach put his story out there and I saw so much of myself in it. Like obviously Meyer is way richer and more powerful than I will ever be, but at the end of the day we're all individuals and the human experience can be remarkably similar from one person to the next. My respect for him grew immensely. I'd always thought he was a sleazeball but now I saw a new side that suggested that maybe his demons had gotten the best of him in the past, as they had me for so long, and maybe he really was a changed person who was going to do things differently. It gave me hope and I so admired someone putting their mental problems front and center and trying to remove the stigma from them.

And it turns out he's (apparently) exactly the sleazeball I thought he was before. It really bums me out.

Wait, Emerson is an OL now? I missed that. Is it because if the injury? Was he ok with it?

No, sorry for the confusion.

BGS quoted Simonton as saying Emerson was practicing on the DL today wearing #90:

UT Roster lists Emerson as DL, but as #64, which I believe is wrong because that's an OL number. Should be #90.

Thanks for sharing. Seriously. Glad you're able to get a handler on your demons. A lot if people don't realize what true OCD is. It's a whole lot more than simply putting your clothes in the closet a certain way/facing the same direction. It can be very overpowering in everyday life and is one of the harder things to overcome from what I've read. Much props to you.

My mom likes to say "we're all bozos on this bus." Everyone has stuff to work through.

I may have gotten a handle on my OCD, but the dean said if I don't shape up and stop wearing chaps to class it's really going to be a mark against me in my tenure file. So I still struggle is what I'm saying.

When he was at UF he told a recruit(can't remember which one just that he was highly rated) that God had sent him(Urban) a dream that he was meant to coach him. That solidified his sleazeball status for me.

I think the AD and CUM are both gone as soon as Monday. This is absolutely nuts. Even if they keep him the harm is already done to the program. How’s this guy going to recruit? The institution/program is better off long term if they fire him and the AD immediately
