On that front, FWIW, Gedney said on the radio broadcast (with about 7:00 or so minutes to go) that they were wearing the grey to impress the recruits. But what would he know.
For one, I'm fine with hearing this -- ND has superior talent. SU doesn't need to be in the final four -- crawl before you walk and get into the top 25.
ND is 8th in the country and we’re not getting steamrolled. We also shot ourselves in the foot over and over again against a team that is now 4-1. Can’t we build off this?
What he also said:
"We're going down to play a good football team in USC down in MetLife Stadium," said head coach Doug Marrone. "We understand the advantages of us going down there from a recruiting standpoint, from a development standpoint, from the opportunity to be able to play in a great...
That's boss -- but this was behind home plate (I'm on the Orioles' feed; and the screen no doubt rotates (though the trashy bit about the Jeter program on the right side remains static. Go Nats!).)
Looks like someone hasn't given up on the NYC strategy. Someone should ask him.
EDIT: I...
I don't give a hoot about NBA basketball, and not that he should show any loyalty -- but such a decision would be made by Sean McDonough's brother, no?
If that were your kid would you cheer him on? Why can't an institution supposedly dedicated to education say, "Enough"?
EDIT: Just read your aforementioned post -- spot on. I think the guy is a jerk and wouldn't blush at the latest evidence -- but the institution has to say enough at some point.
Granted, I'm not familiar with either of their entire catalogues -- but in which songs do Rihanna or Minaj disrespect men? Or is your issue that they're overtly sexual?
Lucky pick-6 for UConn -- more likely than not he stepped out, but they didn't have any good camera angle.
UConn had a first down on the first drive -- and none since.

I don't think Jimbo made this call -- the official statement was put out by the president and AD, I believe. On the "pretty harsh" front, let's remember that FSU is one of maybe 90 (?) schools under investigation by the DoE for lack of concern about sexual abuse -- and a lot of the commentariat...
Good answer -- thanks -- hope you win Saturday. I edited my earlier response to include an “F” before “being an SU” fan (which was my original intention) -- but am now hoping someone makes this sign before the FSU game: “SU fans don’t give an F.”
EDIT: Better sign: “SU fans (or players) don’t F...
Speaking of which -- and maybe this has been mentioned -- but Shafer's line in his post-game presser was great: "When you can get a running back from Connecticut, you get him. Am I right, Floyd?"
And I wasn't being serious. But out of curiosity, how many "top D1" recruits has SU pulled in in the last five years? And do the next tiers have different criteria?
Batting .500, slugger -- well done. The uniforms don't matter -- but I didn't say racism and uniforms are the same thing. See the first part of my answer.
