(OT) Bryant vs ND now on ESPNU

Posted: 12/9/2013 7:41:52 PM

They led early but have hit a cold streak and are slowly falling behind toward halftime.

And TOS is wearing a green & white tie!

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

Boy did that game look familiar. Bryant has some players.

Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

Quote:

During his interview with skeptical Bryant administrators wondering why he had interest in a difficult, lower paying and less prestigious job, O'Shea explained he always hoped to live full-time in nearby Newport, R.I., be closer to his elderly parents and provide his young daughter with better educational opportunities.

I still have no idea why Tim O'Shea took a job in the foothills of Appalachia. No earthly idea.

My guess is that he figured he could parlay a short and successful stint in Athens into a bigger and better job in the Northeast. His wife reluctantly agreed to suffer in horrible Athens for her husband's career. That's total speculation, as is this...

When he failed to measurably improve over Larry Hunter (who was basically fired for being mediocre), he had to make a change for both his career ("didn't have great job security," per the article) and his marriage.

What kind of a crazy loon is TOS? Playing ND and OSU on the road. Imagine that.

Didn't TOS at first refuse the OHIO job and then we upped the offer to a point he could no longer refuse? I seem to remember that there were articles in the local papers that he had say "No" before he said "Yes."
