Matty's colossal typo just started me up again
I just laughed so loud. Poor guy. But this so embodies that.
I just got a belly laugh, complete with tears. SO fucking true.
Well it looks like I was *cough* a tad mistaken on my upset pick for today. Fuck it, I'll own it. Congrats, Broncos. Also, I hope the Titans learn this week that you're supposed to play for TWO halves.
1. Had a good run in the cold today. 39 degrees is just on the border of being TOO cold, but it worked out good.
2. I went to church this morning and didn't get struck by lightning, so there's that.
3. My family was in the Christmas cantata so I figured I could go along with the gag just for today.
4. I love watching football games being played in terrible weather. From the comfort of my warm living room.
5. Work has been weighing heavy on my mind all weekend. Lots of things going on, and it's making it hard to enjoy my down time.
6. I'm picking the Titans over the Broncos as my upset special today. Hey, a guy can dream, right?
7. Trying to not care about something that matters a lot to you is next to impossible. I wish feelings had an off switch.
It's been nine years now. R.I.P.
I first heard Pantera when they were still glam and his name was still Diamond Darrell. I thought they were ok, but the guitar sound is what really stood out to me. It was chunkier and heavier than most pop metal and I remember going to Hastings and picking up their I Am The Night album. None of my friends had heard of them so they were like this cool secret band I had.
A few years later, grunge had hit, Metallica had broken through with the Black Album, and glam metal had fallen by the wayside. I'd forgotten about Pantera until I saw a review of their Vulgar Display of Power album in Circus magazine. The description it gave of the music was radically different than the Pantera I remembered, so I went to the very same Hastings store and picked it up. While Phil Anselmo's vocals were definitely a taste it took me some time to acquire, Dime's guitar work was even more amazing than I remembered. The unique tone, raw power, and aggression was a punch in the throat. While I related so well to Phil's badass posturing that attempted to conceal an insecure, scared white boy, it was always Dime's bludgeoning riffs that kept my head banging and my fist pumping & made me a hardcore fan for life.
RIP Dimebag. We miss you bro.

The May 2014 edition of ACLED's Conflict Trends Report examines the tactics, geographic similarities, and the socio-political environments in which both groups operate.
Many people who are displaced, or become 'trapped', in the context of diverse humanitarian crises do not fit well within existing legal, policy and operational frameworks for the protection of refugees and IDPs.
A general overview of outbreaks that occurred within the WHO African Region between January and December 2013 is provided in this issue.
Overview of reported outbreaks in WHO African Region
Based on data received from the Event Management System (EMS)*, 72 public health events were reported to the Regional Office between January and December 2013, of which 89% (64 / 72) were due to infectious diseases; with cholera being the most frequently reported infectious event (33%). The distribution of these events is shown in figure 1 and 2 and table1.
Cape Town — Although two of every three Africans believe their governments are performing well in the fight against HIV and Aids, fewer approve of their delivery of basic health services and education, and most say governments are failing to provide enough power, water and sanitation.
These are the findings of a new report from Afrobarometer, the 34-country survey which is becoming recognised as Africa's most comprehensive indicator of public opinion.
WINDHOEK – The year 2013 will always be remembered by Namibian farmers as one of the toughest and most challenging periods in 30 years due to the debilitating and devastating drought still threatening the agricultural sector and the country's food security.
The immediate situation remains serious, and now that the rainy season so far hasn't brough much rain either the drought underlines the importance of Namibia's efforts to become climate resilient.
One factor that could make Namibia increasingly prone to drought and extreme weather patterns is climate change.

JOHANNESBURG, 19 January 2013— The President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, UNAIDS Executive Director, Michel Sidibé and the President of the Confederation of African Football, Issa Hayatou launched the "Protect the Goal" initiative on January 19 at the opening ceremony of the Orange Africa Cup of Nations in Johannesburg.

Overcoming extreme poverty remains at the top of the development agenda in Africa and this commitment is paying off but at a slower pace. Recent evidence indicates that poverty in Africa and in all the regions of the world declined over the period 2005-2010. In Africa, the proportion of people living below the poverty line decreased to 40% in 2008 from 47% in 1990, making it the first ever reversal of the long term poverty trend (see Figure 1). However, there are disparities in the rate of decline between Africa and other regions.

The only thing worse than a non-call is a retroactive call in a close game, which is exactly what happened on Thursday.
Kobe Bryant blatantly fouled Ricky Rubio on Wednesday night during the very close game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers.
Rubio went up for a 3-pointer with moments left, was bopped by Bryant, and the Lakers won by exactly three points, 120-117.
Bryant quickly made his way off the court.
The next day, the league officially said it was a missed call on Bryant, stating:
"Video review by the league office confirmed that Kobe Bryant fouled Rubio while Rubio was in his shooting motion. Rubio should have been awarded three free throws."
At some point it seems like every team will be on the receiving end of a crucial missed call, like the Lakers were against the Hawks, but it's still a tough pill to swallow if you're Minnesota.

Environment News
- 20 October 2009 | Environment
After 19 days of surfing, paddling and sailing their way down the NSW coast, the environmental awareness group led by pro surfer Dave Rastovich has successfully passed the halfway point of their intended 700km, 36 day voyage from Byron Bay to Sydney's Bondi Beach.
Titled "Transparentsea" the initiative, which began on October 1st, aims to draw attention to the plight of the migrating humpback whales as the team follows their path south and to highlight issues of environmental concern to do with Australia's East Coast.
Speaking from Point Plomer near Crescent Head on Day 20, Rastovich acknowledged the numerous, unforgettable whale and dolphin encounters his team had experienced. However, the alarming amount of debris that has been located and collected at the various locations the team has visited is a concern.
"At times, adult humpback whales and their calves have chosen to surface two feet away from our kayaks, which has just been amazing," explained Rastovich.
"We've also camped in some of the most beautiful beachside campgrounds and surfed those beaches, but picked up hundreds and hundreds pieces of plastic and rubbish in places that look 'Good from far, but are far from good'," he added.
Rastovich, who says his team is on track to reach Bondi by the planned date of November 5th, also urged everyone who shared the vision of the Transparentsea environmental awareness initiative to support the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society founded by anti-whaling activist Paul Watson.

Kelly Slater, 9 times Surfing World Champion, and widely recognised as the greatest surfer ever, supports Surfers Against Sewage's (SAS) Protect Our Waves campaign (POW). Slater signed the 1,000th POW campaign postcard and today SAS will send Slater's card to the Secretary of State for Defence (SoS). SAS's 1,000 POW postcards call on the SoS to review the Ministry of Defence surfing ban at Broad Bench, one of the UK's premier waves.
Broad Bench falls on the outer boundary of a Ministry of Defence firing range and surfing can be prohibited whilst the MoD are using the range. SAS understands that the MoD needs unrestricted use of their range, but believe there is a compromise that allows surfers full use of Broad Bench and the MoD full use of their range.
Slater was joined by some of the world's best surfers, past, present and future, in pledging their support to SAS's POW campaign. Old guard legends Jeff Hakman and past world champion Wayne 'Rabbit' Bartholomew were stoked to add their signatures first, closely followed by two of the most powerful and stylish surfers in the world, Taylor Knox and Luke Egan. The next generation of possible world champions also realised the importance of the campaign with Jeremy Flores and Jordy Smith signing the POW postcard, along with Roy Powers, one of the nicest surfers you could meet. These international surfing superstars were joined by the UK's own surfing champions Gabe Davies and Alan Stokes.
SAS are harnessing the fantastic support from these top surfers to renew our request for a meeting with the SoS for Defence, calling for a solution that will allow the army full use of their firing range and permit surfers full access to the Broad Bench wave.

Save The Waves is very proud to announce that our documentary "All Points South" received the Best Short Film award at the New York Surf Film Festival 2009. Many thanks to the NYSFF, for producing yet another stellar festival!
"All Points South" follows the story of surfers and fishermen activists in Chile and their struggle against forestry industry pollution of coastal waters and waves.
Film director Sachi Cunningham commented from Los Angeles, California about the award: "We're thrilled with the recognition and hope that it inspires surfers everywhere who are concerned about the environment to not only think globally about our oceans' health, but also act locally to keep their breaks clean."
The screening of All Points South during this festival was on Saturday, September 26 at Tribeca Cinemas in lower Manhattan.
The story behind "All Points South"
Surfers are a litmus test of the health of our oceans. Save The Waves Coalition's new film, All Points South, relates how surfers and fishermen in Chile are joining together to fight against rampant pollution from the pulp industry, and how consumers can help by making better choices when buying paper.
From California to the long left points of Southern Chile, surfers increasingly find themselves in the line of fire between coastal waters and industrial pollution. In All Points South the journey takes us to Southern Chile, where pulp mill pollution threatens entire ecosystems, an ancient way of life, and threatens to tear apart a tight-knit fishing community. With world-class surfing at some of the planet's best point breaks, this is the story and journey of a group of surfers and their effort to expose the injustice being done by a powerful, worldwide industry.

Selena Gomez Does Kimmel!

Restrictions on Guns of any type is not aimed at denying criminals access to guns. Anyone with an IQ of more than one digit knows criminals pay no attention to laws. The constant attack on the 2nd amendment is for the sole purpose of getting the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. The 2nd amendment was put into the constitution for one purpose only. It was to enable the people to defend themselves against a despotic and tyrannical government. If you think our liberties are compromised now, you haven't seen anything like what you will see if the 2nd amendment is destroyed.

Marvel's Fear Itself Mega-Event reading
- Written by xaraan on Monday, October 24 2011 and posted in Blog
One of the most awesome columns at the Outhouse is Super Reads. The guy reads all the giant crossovers, every book and breaks it down for you each week so that you don't have to. Now that Fear Itself has wrapped up, if you want to fill in the blanks or catch up on the whole story before the trade lands start right here:
Follow the column week by week as he reads all the crossovers:
It was a huge undertaking as you can see, ending at Super Reads 163.
It's a lot cheaper than reading every single Fear Itself book marvel put out and probably less time consuming and from what I can tell you, more enjoyable. I'm pretty sure by the end of most of these the writer is borderline insane so hopefully he catches his breath again before Marvel gets going with this "Point" thing they talked about at NYCC.
He also puts these little scenes in them to break up the long reads, I'm pretty sure he's changed the speech bubbles in them. No way are they really this entertaining.

India Masala
Bollywood and culture in an emerging India
Chashme Baddoor: The remake from hell
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Reuters)
Himmatwalaseemed to be the clear contender for the worst film of the year so far. Who'd have imagined it would have such strong competition so soon? David Dhawan seems determined not to let Sajid Khan get away with the honour of the worst botch-up of a remake.
So he takes what was a genuinely funny and memorable film and "remakes" it into a crass, unfunny and offensive film that serves just one purpose — it speaks volumes about the sharp decline in our sense of humour in the last three decades.
To be fair, "Chashme Baddoor" is barely a remake of Sai Paranjpe's classic. Taking one iconic scene and the hint of the storyline doesn't mean that Dhawan has ripped off a classic film.
Barring skeletal details such as three friends who fall for the same girl and the "Miss Chamko" scene, Dhawan's comedy has no story to speak of and hinges on a flimsy plotline to keep the film going.
Himmatwala: Do not step into this time warp
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Reuters)
At the end of a long monologue in "Himmatwala", where Ajay Devgn rattles off the same sentence in five different languages, he turns to the camera and asks "mazaa nahi aaya na?" (That wasn't fun, was it?) It's almost as if director Sajid Khan knew what a bad film he was making, but went ahead and made it anyway.
What they say about the past being viewed through rose-tinted glasses must be true, because if this is what our films were 30 years ago, we should all be glad we've moved on. But not Khan. He wants to take us back to corny dialogue, garish sets and the lack of absolutely any logic in the story whatsoever.
Aatma: No soul in this horror flick
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Reuters)
The real test of a good horror movie, at least in my book, is when you can't stop thinking about it and feel a shiver down your spine at night. All the great horror movies do that to you.
Suparn Varma's "Aatma", about a violent man who abuses his wife in life and in death, is one film that doesn't scare you most of the time. Instead, there is much twiddling of thumbs as you wait for the next predictable twist and yet another person to die on the way to the climax.
Does Sanjay Dutt deserve sympathy?
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Reuters)
First, the facts — the 1993 Mumbai blasts killed 257 people, more than 100 people were convicted, and it took more than 20 years to deliver justice in a case that has all but faded from the nation's collective memory.
And yet, if you looked at the headlines on Thursday, you would be forgiven for thinking the Supreme Court ruling was only about actor Sanjay Dutt. And the only tragedy was the one that had befallen Dutt and his family members.
from India Insight:
Fashion Week: A splash of Kumbh on the runway
While millions washed away a lifetime of sins in the Ganges, some people brought back interesting things from the largest religious congregation on earth - the Maha Kumbh Mela. Designer Tarun Tahiliani brought back ideas for his latest collection.
More than 2,000 years old, the festival is a meeting point for Hindu sadhus, some of whom live in the forest or in Himalayan caves. The sadhus at the Kumbh can be quite a spectacle - some are ash-smeared, some naked, sporting dreadlocks and beads, while some wrap themselves in saffron clothing.
Jolly LLB: Little justice in this legal tale
Subhash Kapoor's "Jolly LLB", about a small-town lawyer who dreams of fame and wealth but develops a conscience along the way, is the film version of the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover."
From the cover (or in this case, the trailer), "Jolly LLB" seemed like a smart, snappy film about the David who takes on Goliath and comes away a hero. The musty, crowded corridors of the lower courts and the machinations that take place there are characteristic of the Indian judicial system and all its pitfalls are an ideal backdrop to this battle.
from India Insight:
Fashion Week: When in doubt, wear a sari
Just when you think that there is nothing more that you can do with a sari, someone will prove you wrong. On the first day of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in New Delhi, we saw saris with lipstick prints and telephone booth imprints, a sari wrapped around a bikini top and hot pants, and Peter Pan collars on sari blouses.
"It's sexy, it's a sari, it's comfortable, but it is hot." said designer Anupama Dayal, who brought her collection "Ishq-e-Dilli" ("Delhi Passion") to the show.
Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns: Rerun of the quirky and violent
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author, and not necessarily of Thomson Reuters)
A politician learning to video chat, a man trying to draw blood with a rusty knife and a newbie MLA who doesn't know what a police FIR is - moments that make Tigmanshu Dhulia's "Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns" a film that successfully marries the quirky with the violent.
I, Me aur Main: Let down by inconsistencies
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author, and not necessarily of Thomson Reuters)
I have to confess I didn't go into Kapil Sharma's "I, Me aur Main" with too many expectations. The posters certainly did nothing to pique my excitement. But 30 minutes into the film, I was intrigued. This wasn't a run-of-the-mill story; the protagonist was someone you would want to hit on the head within the first half-hour.
The Attacks of 26/11: Revisiting the ghosts of Mumbai
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Reuters)
Just before the intermission in Ram Gopal Varma's "The Attacks of 26/11", a police constable stumbles around with a rifle, searching for the two gunmen who had just wreaked havoc at Mumbai's busiest train station. He slumps to his feet on the blood-stained floor and lets out a cry of anguish.
There are prolonged shots of a dead dog, fake blood squirting out of people, and much gore on screen as Varma recreates the horrifying events of Nov. 26, 2008. If the aim of the film is to chronicle these for posterity, this is certainly not how the story should be told.

UPDATED — A meeting of the Joint Committee on State Building Construction was canceled at the last minute Tuesday, but not before a sheet detailing a Department for Children and Families move was distributed.
"This is appalling," Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita and a committee member, says of the lease numbers he saw on the sheet.
Nine state agencies, including more than 700 employees, are leaving the city-owned Finney State Office Building. More than 550 of those employees are with the DCF.
In February, Have You Heard? reported that the DCF was close to signing a deal for space that the U.S. Postal Service is vacating at 2601 S. Oliver. A story last week detailed how the possible lease wasn't as close to being finalized as some had thought.
"It's our intention to move into the postal service building," DCF spokeswoman Theresa Freed says. "The plan's not finalized, so as I mentioned before, we can't discuss the details of the pending contract."
She does say, though, that the DCF is negotiating to remain in the Finney building an extra nine months after its lease expires at the end of September.
"We've been very appreciative of the cooperation between our staff and the city of Wichita to make that happen," Freed says.
Ward is not appreciative of any part of the deal.
"They totally ignored the people of Wichita," he says of the "number of voices from Wichita that said this move doesn't make any sense."
According to the sheet that was distributed at the committee meeting, which didn't happen because the Senate was still in session, the postal center lease would cost $13.14 a square foot, or about $1.28 million a year.
The sheet compares the new lease amount to what it has been paying at the Finney building. However, the city has offered to slash the Finney lease rate to $6 a square foot if the DCF were to stay.
When that's the comparison, Ward says. that means the DCF will be paying "about half a million dollars more a year" or about $12 million over the course of the 20-year lease.
He says that's in "a time when we don't have $12 million" and "the state is struggling to meet its obligations."
The lease price isn't Ward's only concern.
"I still have questions, like how much are moving expenses?" he says. "And what is the public information campaign that they're going to run so that the people who use those services … know where they're at and how they can get there?
"I hope it's more than just a sign on the door that says, 'We've moved to …' "
Ward says the agency serves critical needs and has a duty to inform the public where it can find those services.
"They need to have a plan."
In a follow-up e-mail, Freed wrote that "this decision is about finding a facility that helps us serve our clients best. The proposed single level building offers us maximum flexibility over time, has free surface parking and is more secure. The City of Wichita has been gracious and generous in attempting to make FSOB suitable for our current service delivery needs. We are confident the new location is in the best long-term interest of our clients, our employees and Kansas taxpayers."

When Grant was dying, he considered plans to be buried in three places: West Point (where he graduated from the U.S. Military Academy), New York; Galena, Illinois (his hometown, and the state where he received his first commission as a General), and New York City. West Point was quickly ruled out because his wife wouldn't have been allowed to be buried next to him.
Despite his poor Presidency, Grant was still a towering figure in the United States — definitely the greatest American at the time of his death and rivaling Washington and Lincoln to many Americans. Because of this, Galena, Illinois seemed to small for a monument to Grant's heroics. There was briefly talk about having Grant buried at the Soldier's Home in Washington, D.C., but Grant himself left behind reasons why New York was the most appealing final resting place for him.
After leaving the White House, Grant spent the last years of his life living in New York and, when bad investments and a crooked business partner left him bankrupt, the people of New York City chipped in and helped the Grant family in many ways. To Grant, the people of New York had treated him exceedingly well in his last few years, and he knew that the people of New York appreciated him.
Since New York was also the country's biggest and most important city, it seemed fitting for the nation's greatest military hero to be buried there. At first, there were plans to build a large tomb or mausoleum for Grant in Central Park, but it the site eventually picked is its current location overlooking the Hudson River. Many Americans today don't understand why Ulysses S. Grant has such a massive memorial, but at the time of his death, Grant's military heroics were second-to-none, including even Washington's (to Americans who lived through the Civil War) and the people of New York built him a memorial the measured up to his legacy.

Wilson Combat 1911.
I love the 1911. It is one of the most beautiful pistols ever made, with low felt recoil, an ergonomic grip, and it points naturally in the hand. However, the 1911 is not a pistol for the casual shooter. The 1911 demands a dedicated user and diligent maintenance.
Also, few manufacturers make consistently reliable 1911s these days. The 1911 was designed in an era before mass production, which may be why the best 1911s tend to be hand-fitted and from custom or semi-custom shops like Wilson Combat.

especially in internal combustion engines of automobiles and trucks, partially oxidizes atmospheric nitrogen to the compounds nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) (collectively referred to as NOx). Once released to the atmosphere, sulfur and nitrogen oxides are oxidized further to sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The other major human activity leading to acid rain is the smelting of sulfide ores of various metals—including iron, copper, and lead—which releases SO2 to the atmosphere.
Sulfur dioxide and NOx have residence times in the atmosphere of up to a few days, by which time they can spread hundreds of kilometers from their sources. In this way, they are able to create broad patches of air pollution over, for instance, much of Europe and most of eastern North America (National Research Council, 1981). The arctic haze phenomenon also is caused by sulfate aerosols, which are carried north in winter from industrial sites in Eurasia (Barrie, 1986; Welch et al., 1991). The polar ice caps show evidence of increasing deposition of sulfate and nitrate beginning with the industrial revolution (Boutron and Delmas, 1980; Wolf and Peel, 1985).
Acid rain is neutralized readily if it falls on fertile soils rich in bases, the more so if the soils contain particles of calcium carbonate weathered from soft limestone rocks. If, however, it falls on infertile soils, poor in bases and derived from hard, slowly weathering rocks such as granite and quartzite, the acid is neutralized only partly by soil bases and by microbial and plant uptake of nitrate. The remainder, chiefly sulfuric acid, is washed into streams and lakes, where further neutralization may take place owing to sulfate reduction in lake sediments and loss of nitrate by algal assimilation or denitrification in the sediments (Cook et al., 1986; Brezonik et al., 1987; Rudd et al., 1988) (see Box 3-8).
If neither soils nor aquatic sediments can neutralize acid rain completely, the pH of the lake or stream water declines, causing a variety of deleterious effects. marked changes occur in the species abundance and composition of all types of aquatic communities, including open-water and shoreline algae, larger aquatic plants, open-water microscopic zooplankton, bottom-living invertebrates, and fish. For instance, increasing acidity can interfere with spawning, so that the population fails to reproduce (Dillon et al., 1984). Alternatively, embryonic development or the development of species in juvenile life stages may not take place normally (Rosseland and Staurnes, 1994). Acidification of lake and stream water also releases toxic forms of aluminum (Al 3+ and AlOH2+) that clot the mucus on fish gills, interfering with their function. Finally, acidification can alter food webs. For example, acidification may lead to a reduction in prey species of minnows and invertebrates so that predators such as lake trout starve to death (Schindler et al., 1985). Minns et al. (1990, 1992) estimate that acid precipitation has eliminated many species of organisms in thousands of sensitive lakes in eastern Canada alone. They further

From my experience and knowledge that I have gathered throughout the net I
believe that OpenBSD is prolly the best OS to use as a firewall. If you
are looking at Redhat linux I would go with a Server install without X and
use Bastille to harden your box (http://www.bastille-linux.org). If I was

Dear Tech Gurus,
I was given the responsibility to setup a Linux Based Firewall. I am
looking at either Redhat, Mandrake and Suse
on intel platform and Sparc based.
I need your opinion on the following:
1. Which OS is considered the best suited for a firewall?
2. What are the application/software required to be installed?
3. What security conserns/issues I need to address?
4. Should I use multiple processors?
5. Any website for reference?
Any help is very much appreciated here.
Many thanks.

'Behind the scenes' on the recruiting trail
By Michael Carvell
Way to heavy for me on a Sat. morn. In other news; The Ohio Valley Conf has no teams from Ohio. Oregon and Oregon State signed a total of 48 players this week, only 2 of those players were from Oregon.
And now a mental exercise; What is the largest city in the largest county in the largest state, East of the Mississippi? Ans: after lunch!
Carvell- Since the kids here from Alabama can't count, I'm begging you to do a story on how Alabama gets from 85 scholarship players in 2013 to 2014. While you're doing the math, you're going to come across about 8 players who magically disappear from the program.
Go find those 8 players and interview them. What you'll find is a long list of A) New signees promised scholarships and then told to greyshirt at the last minute and B) Juniors and Seniors who weren't starting and were deemed expendable by Saban who had their scholarships revoked.
Saban oversigned by 8 this year.. It's documented.
BIG recruiting pitch by UGA is that most all Bowl Games will be played where it's warm, Tampa or Orlando. Go Dogs
The latest news from Alabama as to who will be kicked off the team prior to kickoff in August due to Nick Saban's intentional Over-Signing: Anthony Orr, Wilson Love, Alec Morris, and Tyren Jones.
All 4 players were led to believe that they had 4-year scholarships when they signed with Alabama. But now, Saban has signed better players in the 2014 class, so they (8 players in total) will now be booted off the team and lose their scholarships. Congratulations Alabama fans- Well done!!
HA!! What a retard comment from a Bama fan trying to change the subject. Shaq Fluker left on his own due to playing time only. He wasn't asked to leave by any UGA coach and he was NEVER asked to greyshirt. Try again...
That article documents what I said earlier- That Bama only had 18 slots for new football players in the 2014 class. Yet they signed 26 this week on National Signing Day. They will close that gap by forcing new commits to greyshirt (not be part of the program for an entire year) or they will force upper classman (who thought they had a 4-year scholarship) to leave the football program.
Here's a great story about Bama's filthy (and unique) practice of oversigning- Seen from the eyes of a few honest Alabama fans on an Alabama sports blog..
The REAL story in all this is that it is the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY that El Sabo(aka the 8th dwarf) has been so generous. Apparently his advisors(If he has such) convinced him this would be a way to combat those who saw El Sabo as cruel and insensitive just as soon as a better prospect showed up as opposed to his usual way of dealing with injuries and grayshirts.
I wouldn't get too excited about this becoming the norm at Bammy because Leopards don't change their spots and El Sabo has spots!!!!!!!
Rolling Tide...
Chris WIlliams had offers from Alabama, UCF, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Ohio State, Don't know much about the gray shirt issue.....but I know the deal with his father was the main reason he flipped to UCF over anyone else that offered him.
Rolling Tide....
UCF is a very good academic school...just so you know.
@michaeltheamerican Nick Satan does this every year. I'm not sure it's breaking NCAA bylaws, but its certainly not ethical what he does. The real difference in the Alabama program and some other bigtime programs is the number of sophmores, juniors, and seniors that Saban kicks off the team.
At most schools, when you sign your NLI and scholarship, it's a safe assumption that you'll be there for four years. But not at Alabama. Basically, if you're not starting by your junior year, you're at risk of being kicked off the team. That's the unethical part of it and how Saban has abused players over the years.
@michaeltheamerican Wait....you might be on to something!!! Something nobody has ever thought about or discussed before! YOU DID IT MIKETHEAMERICAN!!! You cracked the case! Brilliant! Please be sure to send all of your documentation to the SEC and NCAA...maybe Yahoo Sports and ESPN while you're at it. This is some of the finest in-depth, hard hitting investigatory work I've seen in years!
Wow, talk about an almost complete misrepresentation of what the story says. Best of luck to Mark Beard, by the way.
@michaeltheamerican Jesus you are stupid. Orr and Love have graduated and don't play anyway. Find me ONE player that had their scholly revoked. Post a link from their twitter account...anything that proves it all goes down like you or some other tool from a blog says.
@michaeltheamerican most players KNOW that scholarship are 1 year renewable. Some coaches say they will get 4 years but the scholarship papers have to be done every year.
Technically right now ALL SCHOLARSHIPS are for just 1 year be it Academic or Athletic. The scholarship holder has to live up to their end of the requirements for the scholarship to be renewed.
And you were within listening distance when the UA coaching staff ordered them off campus, right?
@michaeltheamerican No rather UGA forced his hand by declaring him medically ineligible which he says was a lie.
And why would UGA ever need to greyshirt when Helen Hunt can't even sign a full class?
Don't overload ole Single Digit IQ Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's thinking and thinking and thinking and thinki ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
@michaeltheamerican Or maybe...just maybe...Saban already knows who is leaving early for NFL, graduated, medical, etc. BEFORE he starts handing out offers. Nah...you two goofs know much more I'm sure.
@Shaquille Fluker says hi!
This story is pretty crazy. Even the Tide fans are starting to admit that their own recruiting process is shady.
@Snagglepuss El Sabo(aka the 8th dwarf) LMAOROTF that was good !
@Snagglepuss Who's changing the subject? Just asking how Saban keeps morphing into so many different personas. Now he's also a mexican and chameleon...sounds to me like you should charge him rent for living in your head so long! I guess that's all you got is flinging poo against the wall to see if it will stick.
@Snagglepuss So now he's Mexican too?
Orlando Sentinel keep calling it a "flip" in their articles on Williams, that just doesn't make sense, the kid was more than excited about going to Bama.
@TampGator1 Yes, his father had a stroke and that might have been the MAIN issue...but though he had a 20 on his ACT his core class requirements were not what they should be so Bama offered the greyshirt for him to have time to get that squared away. If UCF accepted his core the great...best of luck to the kid. Of course that's not the way some here want to spin it so whatever.
@TampGator1 I believe it....and you are right about the partial/non qualify stuff. I remember that was different when they were C-USA.
@BrownDog Mark Beard is staying for his senior season. And even if he wasn't, Beard still has nothing to do with what's being debated here. Because no coach ever asked Beard to leave or to greyshirt.
Alabama kicks upperclassman off the team and/or asks new signees to greyshirt. Neither of those things happen at other SEC schools. Its unique to Nick Saban and Alabama.
@RollingTide Orr and Love both have 1 year of eligibility left. You say "they've graduated" like they don't want to play their 4th year of football. They came to Alabama to play football.
The Tide don't kick players out, they just take back their Escalade
@POAD2013 We're not debating the length of scholarships. We're debating the uniqueness of how Alabama coaches manage their numbers to 85 each year by kicking upperclassman (who don't play much) off the team and by asking new signees to greyshirt.
Its been documented that Kirby Smart asked the Cornerback from Camden County, GA to greyshirt less than 2 weeks prior to signing day. That player had been committed for over 6 months. It was a classless move by Alabama because they had recruited other more highly ranked defensive backs in the months leading up to signing day and they felt they no longer needed this player. Classless.
@RollingTide @michaeltheamerican UGA manages to 85 every year. Alabama should try it for once. As of right now, Saban is at 93. Have fun breaking the hearts of 8 current players who thought they were getting 4-year scholarships when they signed at Tuscaloosa. Between today and August kickoff, they'll be told there is no longer a scholarship for them.
OK SOONERS say hi !!!!
Thanks Bro.
El Sabo = The Chameleon!!!
Please read the ROLLAMAROLL goody above submitted by michaeltheamerican above
written by the Bammyites butt kissing sporting news blogs, etc
All anti-Bammies should keep this for future reference!!.....at least until the 7 million dollar/yr. man goes away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you now ASKING QUESTIONS AND CHANGING THE SUBJECT????????
I thought you knew everything but after getting some of the nicest beatdowns ever, on here it appears you are jumping ship(finally) Never have I seen more appropriate beatdowns. LMAO!!!!!!!!
El Sabo(aka The chameleon) becomes ANY nationality that will get he and his slicktalking sidekicks(Kirby and Kiffin) a foot in the door so to identify him as Mexican would not be accurate!!!!
All your BS was shot down so severely maybe you will now slink quietly away to a dark, quiet, cool spot, curl up in a fetal position, suck your thumb and become even more irrelevant!!!!
Kept not keep
kept not keep
@RollingTide It's not about getting to play. But at other schools, non-starters aren't kicked off the team prior to their 4 years of eligibility being up. That's unique to Nick Satan and the Bama way.
@michaeltheamerican So, really your faux outrage isn't about them getting an education and being able to COMPETE for the job...you're just mad that everyone doesn't get to play. To quote Dan Hawkins, "This ain't lntramurals brother!" At Alabama not everyone can play...only the best. I know in your world everybody gets a participation ribbon and an ice cream.
@michaeltheamerican technically the players that just signed their LOI are not enrolled in school and are not on campus so they are not on the TEAM YET and therefore the total number of scholarship players can't be written in concrete for any school.
@RollingTide @michaeltheamerican RT- Incorrect Sir. You're currently at 93.
@michaeltheamerican @RollingTide Bama is at 85 currently. Thanks for your interest in the program.
@michaeltheamerican when is the last time Richt and UGa actually had 85 scholarship players on the team? It has been awhile since a Walk-on wasn't given a scholly because a player or 2 didn't get kicked off the team or fail out of school.
@Snagglepuss @RollingTide Shaq Fluker has nothing to do with greyshirting. He didn't greyshirt and no UGA coach ever asked him to greyshirt. Just a stupid Bama fan trying to change the subject because he has no way to defend Bama's practice of greyshirting and taking away player's scholarships after 1-2 years in their program.
You have ALL the answers!!!! How does Fluker get into this??????????????
@Snagglepuss @RollingTide Now who's changing the subject? I guess if I was a UGA fan I would have to nut-ride another team too.
@Snagglepuss @WDE Awwww that's sweet. BFF's? I mean it was a little funny but rolling on the floor funny?
