Not to turn this place into the ff, but I just don't think he's done enough to merit a raise for himself yet. My point was he may be great at recruiting, but a team of 5*s not winning games is just as bad as a team of 3*s not winning games. Win more games, then talk about a raise and an extension.

And that's all I got to say about that.....

IMO, no way a pay raise or an extension should be considered this year. After two years, 11-13 overall and 5-11 in conference wins does not merit it. These are the results for game performance. Great recruiting should not come into the conversation because that's basically pie in the sky stuff. They are not on board and we have no way of knowing what, if any, their contributions will be.

I evaluate a coach on wins and losses. Recruiting is just a way for a coach to make his job easier. His job is to win. If/when the wins start tallying up, then I'll agree he deserves a raise and extension. Until then, he doesn't need handouts. If someone else wants to pay him more and he decides to leave, that's on him. I still don't believe in giving raises on unmeritted hypotheticals. Show me results, then we'll talk money.

Mike Riley sucks, especially when you've got a multiple time co-Big East champion running the show

Nebraska deserves to go through the coaching hell the Vols and bammers have gone through in years past. Good thing Riley ain't Saban. Teams will be using the huskers to wipe they asses for a while.

I feel like hell. Fighting a rancid stomach bug, bum knee hurts like a mother, and I seriously think I might have a fawked up rotator cuff. Combine that with insomnia and I'm giving serious thought to calling in sick. Supposed to be at work at 5am, so just under an hour and a half from now. I'm not feeling it.

It sucks when you're kind of hungry yet definitely nauseated. You sit and wonder, "Would a little bite help?" knowing full well you feel too damn bad to go to the kitchen and try to scrounge something together. And on the rare occurence you do, you remember afterwards why you thought "never again" after the last time, because even though the hunger is gone, you feel even more like you are about to violently vomit everywhere, like that girl from "The Exorcist".

Dammit. Too much sharing, right? I apologize. Illness has effected my communication skills. I will refrain from telling you about my explosive diarrhea.

















Unless you really want me to share, in which case, I will.

WTF happened to Smitty? Why doesn't he come around anymore?

Hey, there's a picture of Miranda Lambert at the bottom of my page. Apparently she's coming to the Tommy Bowl. I like her. She has fire.

Dammit, she disappeared after that post. Bring her back, Freak! Make her reappear!

Dear Freak,

Why have you never granted my request for a VolNation Dalai Lama tag similar to the VolNation Guru tag? Do you just hate Buddhists? I feel like I am being discriminated against. Seriously, you won't even engage in dialogue. It's very hurtful. Are you jealous because it sounds cooler than Grand Poobah? I promise not to turn the faithful against you. Remember, diversity is a good thing. And ftr, Buddhists don't strap bombs to themselves and blow people up. Hey, it's a positive.

You know why they call Freak the Grand Poobah? I hear it's because he and Mrs. Freak can really make the Bedrock!

The Flintstones were great until they introduced the little green alien. He was their Scrappy Doo.

God I loved Scooby Doo until that little bastard pup came along. He ruined the whole dynamic of the show. I could accept Scooby Dum, but Scrappy was just a little pisser.

Speed Buggy always confused me because Tinker looked like an unhippified version of Shaggy.

I miss the old Superfriends cartoons. They were cheezy as hell, but I loved them as a kid. Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, Samurai...all made just for the series to add ethnic diversity, but I liked 'em.

Now the most badass Saturday morning cartoon was G-Force. Early Japanimation at its finest. That show was cool as hell. I loved the Phoenix.
