Well, J.K., as your irreverent father might have said, "Well, the bad news of the reduction of scholarships is that it obviously will not help the team win; but the good news is that I won't have as many football players to babysit."
JK, contact NDloser, he's had a reduction, breast reduction.
His "irreverent father" had no difficulty in dispatching several irreverent UCLA and some very good ND teams on the way to winning multiple NCAA championships. Interesting...
Kiffin better man up for the fight of his young MF life. Kiffin is not up to snuff in my book and I'm going to watch him closely to see that he doesn't do any disservices to our hallowed program.
We need a Rich Rodriguez or a Steve Spurrier out here. Forget the goddamn scholarships. I'll only support Kiffin until he messes up, then it's curtains for him.
I'll be the first to eat my words and to give him his due if he elevetes the program and takes it to new heights.
Rich Rod and Spurrier? Uh, okay - I'll smoke some of what you're smoking.
Sureshot: Your comment without and intelligible critique is a FAIL and pointless. You know I'm right.
Sy, as you may recall Coach McKay was irreverent and satirical, whereas ucla in those days was largely
irrelevant
NOBS, you seem to be deprived of many things in life, may I suggest a triple dossage of Viagra? You sir, are a bumbling negative attitude idiot.
Hi LAWYER JOHN,
Coach McKay was 127–40–8 (6-3 in bowl games including 5 Rose Bowl wins) with four National Championships, three undefeated years (two perfect seasons) and two Heisman trophy winners during his 16 year tenure as head coach of USC. Hardly what I would consider irreverent; however, he did enjoy sarcasm. My favorite quotes:
After the '68 tie with ND he said of the highly questionable referring "I'm not surprised. The referee is a fine Catholic fellow by the name of Patrick Murphy".
Another when asked about OJ carrying the ball too often "Why not? it's not heavy, and he doesn't belong to a union".
