You weren't

I can't believe he's coming into his 9th season. It feels like this board was discussing when he was going to be called up to the bigs maybe 4 or 5 years ago.

Recruiting services miss on individual players over time. What they don't miss on is that the only programs over time that consistently compete for (and win) titles are ones who have top 5 classes...until Indiana football this year. The Portal might end up completely changing that trend.

How does City have an advantage over teams like Milan and Newcastle today though? I know City is embroiled in their own FFP scandal, but in theory they're subject to the same rules.

He was playing off a ruling at the time, which was overruled. If he played today, he'd be ineligible, but for the period of time the restraining order was in place, he technically was eligible (or maybe a better way to say it would be that he wasn't ineligible).

That is because, at least with the Warlick and Harper hirings, I don't think they even tried to lure a big name. The fanbase, especially the "Lady Vols only" fans, was big on the next coach having some kind of direct tie to Summitt. Especially person who would replace Summitt herself. At...

The thing about any company Elon is involved with is that it has more key man risk than maybe any large company ever, including when Steve Jobs was running AAPL. As TGO astutely stated, he isn't as young as he seems (will be 55 in this June). I could 100% see him pulling a Gates or Bezos and...

I don't think anybody is expecting or demanding that the program return to the level of play it had under Summitt. The Lady Vols haven't been beyond the Sweet 16 in going on a decade and arguably hasn't been a legitimate threat to win a national title in 15+ years. Women's basketball, while...

People used to be able to drink and drive with an unsecured 2-year-old in the passenger's seat.

I've never seen this clip until now, and hindsight is 20/20, but she looks like she was being held against her will to go up there on stage and say that.
