    At first glance I thought that the BBQ sauce got away from him at lunch. But no, it’s some ghey cowboy sequin pattern.

    Yeah when I saw him I thought he was two people in a Halloween costume.

    That's one ugly ass rendition of the Goodyear Blimp.

    I wish every Seattle media personality had their fingers and voice box removed.

    The more this situation sinks in, the more I am reminded of Lorenzo Romar and his misadventures with Terrence Jones, Aaron Gordon, and company. As the competition became more bare knuckled, he stayed true to his nice-guy approach. It didn't work. I hope that I am spectacularly wrong.

    But Coach Pete, by choosing to take the Kaho family at face value, is showing weakness that less-scrupulous programs could exploit in the future. He could have told the Kaho family that he would happily grant a leave of absence for a few months and check back in with them in late December before winter quarter. If Ale still wanted a release then, fine, grant the release. There might be more than meets the eye, but it seems there was a middle road here.

    In football maybe it doesn't matter as much, because any one guy isn't as important as in basketball. But fuck, Alabama exploited Kaho's father's financial straits and Pete's classiness.

    TL;DR: Kim was right. This isn't the WAC anymore.

    The real fun is gonna' start when this kid's dad joins him at 'Bama and can't keep his mouth shut about how happy he is for his kid to be there.

    Listening to him sing the Song o'Saban while refusing to disclose the size of the coffee cup is going to be fucking torturous.

    In a perfect world, the kid enrolls at 'Bama, has a good season and then the rest of the SEC parasites realize that dad needs a refill and a bidding war starts for this kid's sophomore season.

    With the new transfer rules, old man Kaho might have just turned his son into college football's first free agent.

    Marlon, Togai, now Kaho. I don't like the precedent but get used to it. Having a squeaky clean coach is the only way that upper campus is going to allow us? to be a football school again. The only thing I hope our staff can learn from it is to mitigate such misadventures as best as you can.
