I don't understand why those Pretty Good videos have such low view counts, they're very good and he obviously puts a lot of work into them.

It's about inane, niche poo poo that only people who are way into minutiae really appreciate.

To their everlasting credit SBNation is really good about just letting Bois do whatever weird poo poo he feels like doing

Agreed. I absolutely love it.

Especially when you get odd things like in this video where one of the editors finds the first recorded dab and Bois then jokes about how that was why she got a promotion to editor-in-chief or whatever.

Stay away from our coach you dicks.

LSU basketball has been in bad shape for a long time now. That doesn't appear to be a bad hire, if they can pull it off.

This is my second favorite Gamecock moment, first is Devan Downey taking down undefeated Kentucky in 2010.

Was that the game that was all darude all the time? Because that owned.

Does he still stare at cheerleaders during timeouts instead of actually coaching?

Good on Izzo & Beilein if so. Fear of helping in state teams recruit keeps a lot of logical series from happening.

College coaches seem more paranoid about everything compared to the pros. Moreso in football, obviously.

A good article about the death of Bryce Dejean-Jones: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2709769-the-night-that-cost-bryce-dejean-jones-his-life-and-nba-dream

Not the first time someone has been done in by an anger problem exacerbated by alcohol and won't be the last. I'm always sad and angry at him every time I'm reminded of this.

Posted it here because I think more people are familiar with him from his time in the NCAA than his short stint in the NBA.

My pleasure. It was linked by the Pelican bloggers I follow and they said it was good so I gave it a shot.

What was the requirement before? Were there exceptions made if you were below 2.3?

I think a 2.0.

e: yeah, this site used to say 2.0 instead of 2.3: http://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/play-division-i-sports

That's the way to never getting another top 25 class again.

Well we aren't getting any more classes like that in a while. I'd rather have one of those guys I mentioned who can build on the foundation with the guys we have now than a retread like Crean, Groce, Romar, etc.

I'm just saying that making "loyalty" that high of a priority is a sure-fire way to get nothing but mediocre to bad coaches.

That is the most NCAA ruling possible.

Make fake classes? Go ahead!

Give an athlete a single cent beyond what their scholarship gives them? All the punishment.

Ruling this way is now also devaluing those scholarships.

What's the loving point of forcing kids to spend a year in school when it's not really "school." Other than to make money off of them without them making a profit first, of course.

Yet another data point that refutes the "student" part of "student-athlete".
