Read his whole passage:

Readers Digest version:

1. If you've read my stuff before, you know I name the defending NC the #1 preseason team.

2. Not gonna do that this year because I've bought into the media hype on Bama and Auburn lost too many players.

[Jungle Rat]

Corky Simpson?

[10ac]

I just read 1.

[JRB]

That's probably one more than you needed to read.

How do we even know if aTm would be a proper fit in the SEC? We don't.

I say give them a trial year...without adding a 14th team. Give them bama's slot..the tide can go join the AFC South during that time. Initially it would weaken the SEC and strengthen the AFC, but there'd be more parity leading to better divisional races for each.

And if things go well with aTm, when bama comes back maybe they bring the jags with them (to take the corresponding spot in the East).

[AlabamAlum]

Heh.

Bastard.

RICHMOND, Va. -- Less than two weeks from the start of the Spiders' football season, the University of Richmond on Tuesday accepted the resignation of head coach Latrell Scott after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, school officials said.

Athletic director Jim Miller said Scott called him in the morning after his Tuesday arrest, and the second-year coach later tendered his resignation. Meetings were held throughout the day and the decision was made to accept the letter, Miller said.

Offensive coordinator Wayne Lineburg will serve as interim head coach for the season, Miller said. The Spiders open at Duke a week from Saturday.

"It's tough," Miller said in a telephone interview Tuesday evening. "It's obviously tougher on Latrell. It's a difficult situation for him, for sure."

An arrest warrant for Scott said it was his second DWI offense within a 5-10 year period, according to the Henrico County courts website. Miller told reporters that he knew of the prior arrest and there was an understanding when Scott was hired that another such arrest would not be acceptable.

Where the fuck are the week 1 game threads?

[dave_rickart]

More importantly, are they straight-up or ATS?

[BigRedMan]

What the hell is this ATS stuff????

[TheBigMook]

[aTm]

Where the fuck are the week 1 game threads?

AlabamAlum is in charge of all that stuff, in order to see if he can handle larger scale responsibilities board wide. So far it doesn't look good.

[aTm]

I was thinking maybe we should do a single in-game thread for all games each week?

[AlabamAlum]

I am not now, nor have I ever been, responsible for that contest.


Further, I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected.

[aTm]

I thought we were talking about the individual threads for big games each week, not the contests. Contest aint happning unless somebody really steps things up.

[TheBigMook]

Are we having a collegiate club football picks contest?

[BigRedMan]

I nominate AA.
