Disarray Oh Disarray
Here we sit on January 9th , 2010 and the football world as we know it is in complete disarray. First Florida’s Urban Meyer goes off what he thought was the deep end and hit his head. Now Pete Carroll is rumored to be leaving the college football mecca that is USC for the NFL. Both programs have enjoyed tremendous success but both now face an uncertain future. Disarray oh Disarray.
Meyer’s health issues and putting family first was apparently just a 24 hour bug. Now he says he feels in his gut he will be back for the 2010 season. Looney Tunes was always my favorite. Stay tuned for more hilarity.
Pete Carroll has been ultra successful as Trojan Man but ongoing investigations about impropriety going all the way back to Reggie Bush’s apartment and more recently Joe McKnight driving a Land Rover around LA. Nice! Charlie Weis also put a spot-light on the RUMOR that ole Petie had a sweetie on the beach in Malibu. All of this,in addition to a sub-par season and several early defections make the future less than golden in the Golden State.
Former USC RB Lendale White said he was very disappointed in the idea that Carroll would leave after preaching family and loyalty for 10 years. White went on to say that he expected Carroll to be stay at USC like Bobby Bowden did at FSU. Lendale needs to understand that those days are gone.
Ambition and attrition are the realities of the day.
G, I love the “U” Too
I love The University of Georgia. That’s THE University of Georgia. The “G”. I do have a couple of new “loves”. Well, love is a strong word. A word one shouldn’t throw around or use lightly. Maybe infatuation would be a better word. I was listening to sports talk radio and the discussion started with Urban Meyer’s raise to $4 million a year to whether this closed the door of him possibly going to Notre Dame someday. His buy-out is only $500,000.00, small change for most top tier programs. He would be crazy to leave Gainesville, but as the commentator said, high achievers seek challenges, and the Urbanator is an achiever. Okay, we’ll go with achiever, sure.
All of a sudden, someone mentioned Mark Richt. I threw up in my mouth a little. I regained my composure enough to hear it said that if Miami continues to struggle that over time Coach Richt may consider a return to his Alma mater. To resurrect that program a challenge worth considering. At this point I puked out the window, luckily it was down.
Coach Richt has said repeatedly that he considers Athens his home now, but I for one will not take chances. That is why I will be ordering some Miami Hurricane swag and for good measure, Florida State as well. Nothing orange mind you, some green for the “U” and I look dang good in garnet and gold, if I do say so myself.
I will have to be more organized this fall and coordinate my wardrobe throughout the day on Saturdays. I don’t know about your secondary affiliations, but I want all Dawg fans to get on board the train to keep Coach Mark Richt in Athens where he belongs. I don’t want officials from Miami or Florida State rethinking their most recent moves and look northward for alternatives.
Bobby Bowden needs to retire and let Jimbo Fisher truly lead the Seminoles. I am hopeful Randy Shannon can continue the Miami revival and win big in the ACC. Besides leaving our coach alone, that would mean beating the “bees” on a regular basis.
A true win-win-win-lose!
Tell me what you really think!
