    Coach Pinkel is giving his typical Monday morning presser at this moment. As you well know, Mizzou is having a fantastic and completely unexpected year. Despite this success, Pinkel is completely melancholy and broke down discussing Coach James. It's obvious how much he meant to Gary. It's a testament to what football can do for a person -- it's a great teaching tool, and the lessons stick with you for life.

    Pinkel has been a savior for our program. I'm not sure there was a worse program than Mizzou in the 80's and much of the 90's. As of right now, Gary Pinkel is, I believe, four wins away from being the all-time wins leader at MU. (By the way, he's still Toledo's all-time leader in wins.) He's done things in Columbia that I never expected to see -- and I'm currently 32-years old. He gives all of the credit to Coach James' system.

    When you consider Pinkel, Saban, Mora, and the others to come from Coach James, that's pretty d@mn impressive.

    We fucking frown on this kind language here. Either swear or get the fuck out.



    Alternate ending: Either swear or LEAVE!

    You have to understand that UW doesn't want a James program or God forbid a Saban program. Or even a Tinkle program. They want what they have worked so hard to get.

    Great coaches are more popular than University Presidents. They have more power than the faculty. Winning big creates what Barry Switer called the monster. UW killed it in 1992 just as it was really taking off. They are not going to let it get that far again.

    You seriously need to cut off their funds. They have been able to fund the department off the fumes of the James Legacy.

    Doogs mocking the way Oregon operates and the way the players run amock is exactly what UW is afraid of happening here again. The Reggie Rogers and Kevin Gogans don't exactly fit the image that Professor Dyke Faggot is looking for on Upper Campus Way

    You pretty much nailed it. They don't want a coach who is bigger than the program. The only coach since James who was approaching that was Rick who they fired after 4 years over something stupid.

    Kind of like the Mariners brass don't want a manager bigger than them why they've hired one lame dick after another since Lou walked away.

    The Marinerization of Husky football is so sad and eerily similar.

    It is almost comical that we have turned the Don James' program over to a frat boy who is the literal antithesis of what built it. Well, it would be comical if it wasn't so damn pathetic.

    From tough, hard nosed discplined football where there were standards and expectations, to grab ass pregame goof-off-fests where magical 9-4 seasons are created off 7-6 scoreboards.

    I want to punch a kitten, or an Armenian.

    Punch the Armenian AND pet the kitten .... starting with the one on her calf. Damn nice sig once again!

    Abundance is always the right choice.

    To be fair to the Armenian; Don James' version of Husky football was long dead before Sark showed up.

    He's just a shitty coach that took over a program that was even more shitty before he got it. The harsh reality is Sark absolutely was an improvement.

    The harsh reality is these guys could have picked a coach that would be an improvement.

    Are you saying that, in hiring Mora, that ucla does want a program like that? If anything, over the years ucla has proven to be equally as soft as the insecure morons that hire our coaches.
