Listening to Russillo and Kanell

[Cribby]

They were discussing spots for chip in college. They name the typical places like Texas, USC and finally Miami. They both laugh and RR says " yeah, only if Chip comes as a volunteer". Then Kanell laughs and says " they aren't paying ".

So it's universally known that Miami is cheap.

They also mentioned they haven't talked UM/Fsu game all week . Both agreed it's sad where the rivalry is, and it's because Miami is a joke.

Nothing earth shattering.

Russillo was all about Oregon the last 5 years and is now off that bandwagon as well. These guys talk about flavor of the month. Who cares.

 

[Gatorhater]

Who are those guys? Did they play high school football of something?

I actually love the show. He thinks Oregon is a great program, they're just down this year. I don't really get the " flavor of the month " comment.


Unlike most radio shows they aren't shock jocks, they pretty much keep it real.

I like DK,he's from south fla and always mentions he wishes miami was back. Pulls for all the South Florida teams.

They both come off as a couple dudes just sitting around talking sports , no agendas or bias. I didn't like Van Pelt, I've became a regular listener since he left.

Yep, dude just keeps it real. He's always giving props to the U. He also rustles sec fans jimmies, which I love.

 

[wacane]

He wants golden gone badly as well.

Saw today too and agree with your analysis of the show although I didn't mind Van Pelt even though he was really thin skinned about the eSECpn bias. Kanell even threw in the "South Florida talent" argument when Russillo was laughing about Chipster coming in as a volunteer. The only part I didn't understand today is when they were talking about Sark at USC being on a hot seat too and Kanell said that Golden must be loving it. I didn't understand the reference and they never followed up on it.

He threw a touchdown pass to Carlos Jones one time.

To the OP's point - UM is not an excessively wealthy university. Donna did yeoman's work in the area of fund raising but those monies are primarily dedicated to their medical programs, as they should be.

UM has to be creative in its hiring practices in order to draw the right coach(es) who want to use UM as a spring board for their careers. Again, access to the nation's most fertile recruiting ground needs to be a key point in their coaching evals. The problem was the donna was a pure clintonite - Style over substance at all costs. Her hires and more to the point, her contract extensions have been the program killers.

We will likely not be able to afford a Chip Kelly. He's a known entity. UM needs to focus on the Next Chip Kelly or a guy winding down his career who wants one last hurrah at winning a title. I can think of one guy who comes to mind.

I took it as Sark takes the focus off of Al's hotseat. After that **** he laid last night , then mix in the pills and Liquor incident

I have to say there are two ex-rival QB's who I really like listening to in the CFB media: Danny Kannell and Jesse Palmer. Both are very solid IMO.

Not a rival but I'll put Brock Huard on that list as well.

Those guys are good for our sport IMO.

Much better than listening to WR's, DE's and TE's talk.

I don't want to go down the road with you regarding overall university finances but am curious if you'd agree with this assessment- Our athletic department (football specific) has been woefully underutilized for decades in relation to profit utilization of a name brand and in general fundraising. Now you can blame that both on the actual university and the AD's but I still believe that there is no good reason why our athletic department isn't "wealthy" enough for the cash-strapped argument to never be taken seriously. With proper oversight starting in the 80's we absolutely should be on par with the USC's of the world by now.

I like Brock too, and he's kinda smart ***. Jessie is ok

USC enrollment 43k, UM enrollment 16k. Factor in significant gap in alumni those enrollment #'s add up to over the last fifty years and it's easy to see why we won't ever be USC.

 

[Notsince1985]

I agree we suck. I agree our job doesn't have much appeal. I agree Golden is the biggest piece of **** ever to walk the face of the earth, and I agree the rivalry has lost a lot of its luster, but I don't agree with the, "it's not a rivalry when one team wins all the time." They've won five in a row. 3 have been competitive (2011, 2012, 2014). We won 6 in a row from 2000-2004 (with 2 blowouts, 2001 and 2003) and it was still every bit a rivalry.

PS
I hate Al Golden

Their undergrad enrollment is much closer to ours though. I thought it was like 17k. Granted, it's a lofty goal now but had we actually managed one of the hottest commodities in all of sports in the 80's properly and even taken advantage of the second run in the first part of this century then maybe there wouldn't be such a big gulf. Funny how a lot of the same people in power would laugh at the comparison but would sit there and nod their heads if Lil Donna predicted that we'd be on par with a similar institution academically- a feat obviously MUCH harder to achieve as she left office with us ranked fairly close to where we were when she took over.
