And here somebody said they were gonna miss Dom.
Yeah, but digging in for 3 pages on it is low-level stuff, even from you.
Probably true. I did it anyway.
Of course, says the guy who put his response inside the quotes of a post....
Trying to keep up with this furious pace is likely to cause some errant shots.
I mentioned that Hurley's seat maybe was getting hot before the season. I even cited an article which discussed that, and included the rejection of said claims by the coach and the AD (what a shocker!). The fact that the article was written, and that the coach and the AD even addressed the claim, was the important part. Of course, Spark, when faced with that, just focused on how the coach and the AD denied the proposition. (Shocking!) That is from the Tempo School of Arguing.
I have to agree with you here. The fact the article was written and the denials had to occur would imply there was heat on his seat. Having said that, Spark is correct in the larger view. Ex: Underwood should not be feeling any heat (this year). If he has a another year like the last, it’ll be fair to question how hot his seat is. Especially if recruiting is shaky.
Is all it takes for a college coach's seat to be hot is for idiot fans to say "fire him!"? Underwood's been on the hot seat for years if that's the case.I have never heard anyone say someone's "seat is getting hot" without meaning "in the eyes of the person who could fire him". And the AD openly mocked the idea in the article. It's pretty clear from that article that his seat was not remotely hot at the time it was written.And at it's core, the fact that that guy won the title less than a year later is not really compelling evidence that the "fire him" people were making a reasonable argument, is it?
I don't think anyone would be more happy with a conference title than a national title, but the notion that being happy when your team wins a bunch of games and their conference is a loser's mentality is brand new, never seen that one before.Which makes sense, because it's very stupid.
Nah, were good just orbiting the Earth. Let's just be satisfied with that. No reason to shoot for landing on the Moon.
His seat was hot because the AD made fun of people for suggesting his seat was hot?It makes sense to whine about not winning titles and want the coach fired because some dumb UConn fans wanted their coach fired and then he won the title?Only losers like winning conference titles which is why the current national champion head coach made it clear he valued competing for conference titles?There's simply no way to interpret the article you posted in a way that doesn't undercut your arguments completely. Maybe the UConn AD and coach were totally wrong and you're right, I guess, but it doesn't really seem like it..
