First appearance this week. Didn’t seem stressed or uncomfortable. Pretty much a nothing burger.

Durham asked about the bye week and Blake deflected to talking about other sports.

Packer asked about Herbstreits comments and Blake responded with the same rhetoric as Manny almost verbatim.

Durham suggested letting the season play out and Blake responded Diaz was focused on UNC and there’s no easy games left.

More time was spent on Blake’s opinion on the CFP than any other subject.

On a positive note, this was the 15th straight semester all UM student athletes averaged a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher.

After the commercial break, both Packer and Durham defended both Blake and Frenk concerning Kirk’s comments noting Frank’s leadership during the pandemic last year. Where have we heard that before.

Edit: I should have put a disclaimer in the original OP stating this thread was in no way an endorsement if this doofus. Just wanted to provide some info that I happened across this morning.

The answer coming from Blake or the Admin will always be the same - they will pivot right back to COVID, the new dorms (which had NOTHING to do with athletics, other than they allocate a portion to the athletes), and the IPF. They are fundraising for the locker room renovations - that's not automatically happening.

No one has directly asked about coaching hires. It's like the elephant in the room. Everyone KNOWS that's a big part of what Herbstreit was referring to but no one wants to say it publicly. And the Admin and Blake are not going down that path unless absolutely forced to. Even then, they will only defend the choice.

Is it a false narrative that the IPF doesn’t happen if Richt doesn’t make the push?

No doubt it’s a canned response. It’s as though they all read from the same script. No surprise. That’s why I said it was pretty much a nothing burger.

Apparently the in thing is to predict Miami to win the coastal, then after we fail start making little snide remarks about it.

Durham is the Ga Tech play by play guy and his dad was play by play for UNC.
Packer is a Clemson grad.
