Tad Foote and Julio Frenk

[TheOriginalCane]

Serious question I'm wondering. Are you related to Foote?

Who knows, but I'll bet you could smack the Foote out of his mouth.

Yep. Go back and search for posts that praised Beta Blake when the IPF was completed, and most of those same people praised Julio for his COVID-19 response.

Each of them (Blake and Julio) have a W-L record of 1-999.

Im sure at least1 person at the law school would agree with you.

Serious question I'm wondering. Are you related to Foote?

Hahaha. No. I tried to marry into the family but unfortunately only one of his sons showed any interest.

This is what you do every time the subject comes up. You use some vague and generalized criticisms about a documentary to arrive at the (incorrect) conclusion that Tad Foote was inaccurately characterized.

But you are wrong. I didn't need the 30-for-30 to confirm what I observed and experienced while I was at UM, and the passive-aggressive antagonism that Tad Foote had for UM athletics. But, sure, you're going to sit here and act like you don't know Billy Corben's name, and call him a hack, and do everything you can to slander the guy for simply reporting what EVERYONE observed and experienced, from students to athletes to coaches to employees.

I could cite VERY specific things, but I'm not even going to waste my time, as you will figure out a way to sneer AND mention that you went to Yale.

The reality is that Tad Foote has been characterized accurately. You can use the word "villain", but he very clearly opposed just about any policy or expenditure which would have helped the Athletic Department and the football team.

I didn't know Billy Corben's name... I just know it sounds like the guy from that band Smashing Pumpkins.

Whatever. Like I said, I don't know anything about Tad Foote, I just know we won when he was here and actions talk louder than words.

If you read Feldman or Mart,'s books, they explain that Foote was indifferent about it. He hated that the whole university was being cast in the light of the U swagger/thug impression.

He also despised Suntan U brand as well.

When he took over, he shrunk enrollment in long-term play to increase applicant/acceptance quality.

Was considered a very bold move way back when.
