Many many years ago, I worked there. Palo Alto is a nice city and if all things were equal I would love to live there.

It’s not though. The Bay Area has serious problems attracting people to work there what with the lack of affordable housing. I know folks who’ve lived out there and had really long commutes.

Context is everything. I beat a guy in a race with no legs. Was I successful?

The point he was making, and it was a good one, was that the lack of production from guys that were brought in is on JoMo and his putrid system. So don’t temper future guys expectations through JoMo lenses.

Gotcha.

I'm not gonna argue that Joe's coaching didn't suck and his system was not putrid.

It did, and it was.

You let the Coach do what he was hired to do and that includes bringing in the people he feels he needs in the system he has ran for

. "It's as if when he walks into a football program and grabs the quarterback, he sprinkles fairy dust on him, because the quarterback becomes a different human being,"-Mike Lewis - writer



Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Sorry, this is just wrong. It ain't that simple. It's just not. I'll leave it alone now. Cheers.

Thanks, Bcash2, for saying this. You are exactly right, it ain't that simple. Not by a long shot. I'll join you in leaving it alone. Just wanted to express my appreciation to you for your comment.

At a minimum you have to cut people slack if it feels oddly familiar to have a highly thought of QB on roster, some decent young talent in place behind him, and a first year coach going out to bring in a one and done guy to save the world. He may be awesome, but from a team chemistry and fan sentiment perspective it has potential to be a really negative. Let him suck and the Leach era starts off feeling a lot like last year.

I do think that Leach will be quick to replace him as starter if he can't cut it. I'm also sure that Leach doesn't much care what anybody thinks about it. He's gonna do his thing.

Solid post. When you are homeless, there are few hygiene options, so relieving yourself outside is almost certain for most. My experience is that it is mostly the substance abusers and people suffering from mental health issues that don't have the capacity to make better bathroom location choices. Of course nobody on this board has ever gotten drunk and pissed themselves or puked in a non-ideal location so I'm probably speaking a foreign language.***

If you find yourself not homeless, you should be thankful, because more people than you think are one or two bad decisions/events away from being right there with them

This thread has certainly run the gamut. I, for one, am quite disappointed that not a single one of you asked the important question(s):

Is he bringing Abbott with him? If not, how will we ever know who's on first?

Wow. Palo Alto California vs starkville. Talk about a damn culture shock. If he considers us its for one reason - Not to play in the SEC but to Play a year under Leach.
No, the real reason, is that he needed to strengthen his resume’ . MSU degree > Stanford degree

Hilarious. “Trash language or views” from an ******* giving the board the double bird.

It's a character from a cartoon for adults. Does that really offend you to see a cartoon with its middle fingers raised? Or are you just feigning offense?

Your joke about homelessness sucked and your homophobic joke about SF sucked. So I have said as much and will continue to do so when you or others post ****** jokes.
