Who is our DFO?

 

Good...

 

Director of Football Operations?

 

Correct. I just looked it up - fellow named Joshua Thompson

Joshua Thompson - Director of Football Operations - Staff Directory - Florida Gators

 

To make those comments when he has a $95,000,000 contract is just disgusting!

It like Bezos' telling his $15 hour employees Amazon isn't about making money, it's about doing the work.

 

Yeah -

College Football is now an endlessly deep well of "show me the money".

Kirby just got 130,000,000
Kelly got his $95,000,000

The corruption of a simple "sport" is breathtaking.

Pay the Coaches
Pay the Players
Pay the family, handlers and all the 3rd cousins, in on the graft.
Build New Facilities
Create a collective, which is a nice word for an organization dedicated to bribery, auctions, and corruption.
Crap all over student "Non-athletes" by offering them NOTHING compared to the athletes.
Sell your soul to a "conference" and a TV contract.
Destroy rivalries and traditions.
Oh and "laugh" at attending classes or being part of the student body.

Well done by those "in charge" of what used to be a nice (football) ancillary benefit to a College or University.

You trying to say Jesus Christ can’t hit a curveball?

 

I heard once that he can’t hit a 2 iron

No wait, that was God

 

The remark was about a 1 iron, I believe. I used to use a 1 iron off the tee a fair amount. I could hit it about 240 or so and it was very accurate, off the tee. I hit it a couple of times from the fairway and it was different. it was still pretty accurate but it didn't get more than about 10 - 15 feet in the air and it would run at least 100 feet when it landed. I could stop a 2 iron decently from the fairway but not my 1 iron.

 

I stand corrected

 

Not familiar with that movie reference.

 

Not a movie, Lee Trevino said it:

“If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.”
-Lee Trevino

 

Lawsuit incoming.

 

I don't think it's a movie reference. I think Lee Trevino may have said that. An urban legend, perhaps. Here's the story as I remember it. Lee got struck by lightning on the golf course once. A reporter asked him what he would do if he got caught in a similae situation again. He told the reporter he would take a 1 iron from his bag and hold it over his head. When questioned why he would do that he replied "Even God can't hit a 1 iron."

 

In related news, Boise State will recruit entirely from the transfer portal

 

Self imposed death sentence

 

See post # 113212

 

If you don't get players from the portal then maybe you can pull that off... but he's no Dabo Swinney.

 

They aren't getting a lot of $$ kids anyway
