There is nothing "wrong" with what Hobbs was wearing, but I think I would have worn a suit to emphasize the importance of the occasion. And I hate wearing so much as a necktie, let alone a suit. But I am old, and so your mileage may vary.

Thanks for sharing and for starting a new and relevant thread that isn't about the coaching search. I now regret not going...oh well.

I just watched Pat's speech outside prior to ringing the bells. Blue Blazer, Red tie and sweater vest...that would have been a nice look for the panel. But a super long day for him as mentioned.
BTN Just showed clip of part of day's activities for football 150 - I was going to post that description of what Hobbs was wearing during the day. RED sweater vest also. Maybe the tv production people mentioned TV colors?

Professor Sandals looks like his right ankle might be swollen. He’s old and might have some medical issue. I’ll allow it.

you guys crack me up with this over analysis. Its because its a different angle from left foot to right foot and the sandals look different because you are seeing them from two different sides and can't see the loops on the right side of the right one. Geez.

He just wore freakin sandals. That is all. He's a college prof. right? Surprised he didn't wear a Hawaiian shirt.

I've had Gout for 35 years. I know all about swollen toes, ankles, feet, knees, elbows, and fingers. THAT ain't it .

I talked to several potentially knowledgeable people during the cocktail hour and dessert reception, and no one knows (or wouldn't say) what Schiano's demands were. At least 2 people said it had to be more than replacing the bubble with a new indoor facility, since that is already planned.
So after talking to others (and some of the same people) at the RAC last night, it seems that Schiano had no unreasonable demands, and that all that remains is going through the paperwork.

Note that I didn't talk to anyone actually involved in the meeting with Schiano, but to people who talked to those involved (or in some cases, another level removed). So I don't know if the reports of Schiano making unreasonable demands were overblown, if Rutgers originally thought the demands were unreasonable and acquiesced, or if Rutgers walked out of the meeting saying that Schiano was asking for a lot and then realized we are planning to do all of it anyway.

The quote I loved from Alvarado was when OT was introduced while he was the Wisky HC. When asked whether he would choose to play offense or defense if he won the OT toss he said:

"I'd choose to have them drive past the student section. By overtime they'll be so blitzed they'd scare the hell out of anybody. "

Other possibilities are that the reporting on the meeting made a mountain out of a mole hill or that the author received information from a misinformed source.
