An interesting view of the Texas 'panhandle' and ESPN's role in it.

Yeah, thats in the fix, last link

I’m not sure the “Longhorn Network is a street agent” is quite as clear cut as the article asserts, but it will be interesting to see if the NCAA considers this an issue (it is UT doing it, so they wont). I know that BYU has also just launched their own sports network as well to capitalize on the Mormon diaspora outside Utah. No other schools have their own TV network that I know up, but most have a radio network and web broadcast services, and most conferences have one as well.
 I’m guessing that if UT and BYU can be successful with their own network we’ll see other schools like ND, tOSU, Miami, USC etc launch the same things with the same set up with local HS.

I am just concerned the NCAA will decide that it is a conflict of interest

to televise the games of recruits you are targeting, but grandfather the sip network in somewhat like they did with Oklahoma State. Okie State help football camps at high schools across Texas since they couldn’t get any recruits to drive up to Stillwater for their camps. The NCAA decided that schools could not do that, but OSU was grandfathered in and can still do it.

I know people like to get on Canzano articles but his whole job is to get people talking as a columnist and he certainly does that. If it stimulates conversation, I’m all for it. My personal issue with Canzano is that he often goes too far towards the sensationalist when bringing up topics to discuss. That being said, I don’t think we should completely discount every article, especially if he does make some interesting points or topics.

I hate to defend C*nzano.

But that point… it’s easy to tear into it with hindsight. But I remember driving home after the Purdue game and thinking “man, I can’t count to a bowl game with any certainty. They might not win 6 games.” He says a lot of ludicrous stuff but I don’t think that in particular was unfair or off-base, and most of all, outside the job description of a traditional decent opinion columnist.

Now if he’s lying about ever saying that… then that’s not great.

by omb on Jul 18, 2011 1:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

The original item was cleverly worded, something like “Can you see six wins out of this team?” Thus allowing him to later claim, “accurately,” that he never said Oregon wouldn’t win six.

Positively Clintonian, he was / is. Except Bill probably gets laid more often.

Well, I guess I have a couple problems with him, but the biggest is the perpetual self-aggrandizement. The dude must seriously have the elbow joint of a giant squid with how frequently and forcefully he pats himself on the back.

I generally agree.

My problem is that he is quite a bit sensationalist, as you mentioned, and this:

He’s a columnist. He’s paid to give his opinion, not to present facts or to report news. I am good with this. But I don’t like him promoting his opinions as “truth” or him hiding behind the vale of “I’m just the messenger”.

You cannot be a columnist and “just being the messenger”. And “If you don’t agree with me, you’re just blinding yourself to the truth, because you don’t want to hear the truth”. It’s BS.

One of many allegations on his "blog"

For a while there he was posting the most inflammatory stuff on his blog. He admitted the content wouldn’t pass muster for print, but somehow it was OK for him to say things like “Bellotti’s ex wife castrated me” on a blog only reachable through Olive. Not seeing much activity like this lately, maybe some editor got to him.

You cannot be a columnist and "just being the messenger"

A thousand times this. Its what I absolutely HATE about canzano and brooks. A messenger gives the facts. In the case of the Lyles thing, Wetzel and Robinson have been the messengers. I don’t have a problem with a single thing they wrote.

When you add a bunch of speculation, much of it way off base with the facts availiable, you cease to have any legitimate claim of being the messenger.

I don’t agree. There is nothing wrong with having a dissenting opinion, or creating/stating a thought provoking position on an issue. I find it to be a legitimate purpose of columnists and opinion-editorials.

I just think it’s important to:
A. Admit when you’re wrong (Which never happens with editorials.).
B. Support your argument with reasonable data.
C. State when your opinion is in the role of Devil’s Advocate.
D. Avoid demeaning your audience.
E. Realize you aren’t there to affirm.

Canzano often misses on A through D.

I think this will be great for college athletics and help reduce extra benefits

In developing countries where bribery of govt officials and law enforcement is an issue the best solution is often to raise their wages. When people have a decent meal and can count on enough cash to see them through the week they are less likely to take a free handout. This might not eliminate $180,000 payments to recruits, but it should help reduce palm greasing and good ol’ boy small cash payments to players, as well as help student athletes concentrate on studies and their sport rather than on how they will scrounge up a few bucks for dinner.

Don’t use too much butter. You have to get the spatula under the egg without pushing it all over the pan. Butter or oil makes this difficult, especially on Teflon.

Medium heat.

Nonstick pan, not too much butter. You don’t want it hot enough for the egg to sizzle when you (gently) put in in the pan. Wait until the “bottom” albumen turns white, then gently flip and cook the “top” albumen for 15 seconds or so. Flip again, then remove.

There’s so much to go with here. Unlike our other 9 in the family, Colorado and Utah both are new to the family, and there is so much to learn.

I would be interested with them describing CU football, starting with the basics (Type of Offense and Defense, and what type of emphasis, like speed or power, that they put in there), and then get into some specifics, like projected strengths and weaknesses and stand out players in all three parts of the game (Offense, Defense, Special Team).

And then finally a little bit about the personality of the coach and coaching staff.

Oh and pre-game rituals. (We know about Ralphie storming the field and running over the handlers, but what other unique CU pageantry do they do?)

The NCAA spokesperson doesn't say the school has a duty to inform they are under gag order or investigation. Perhaps only if a member school is on probation?
NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn said Friday such gag orders usually are extended to schools under investigation.

“According to NCAA rules, all parties of the investigation must maintain the confidentiality of interviews to protect the integrity of an investigation,” she said. “This includes the school and enforcement staff.”

I’d say inforcing a gag order and admitting to being under a gag order are two different things. Saying, “We have no further comment” is logistically identical to saying, “We’re under a gag order and cant say anything.” Either way, people STFU.

It doesn't say a member institution needs to disclose anything, only that the NCAA cannot until it has made a ruling.

32.1.2 Public Announcements. The enforcement staff shall not confirm or deny the existence of an infractions case before complete resolution of the case through normal NCAA enforcement and hearing procedures. However, if the involved institution or any person involved in the case (e.g., involved individual, representative of the institution’s athletics interests, interviewee) makes information concerning a case public, the involved institution, enforcement staff and the involved person may confirm, correct or deny the information made public.

OT: Is this guy being funny or is he just clueless?

Link

Google+’s main function isn’t to become the next great social media website; it’s to become the next great way to gather a massive amount of personal information so that Google can charge more for targeted advertising.

What? Google (which derives the vast majority of their revenue from advertising) is using G+ to place ads? SHOCKING!

Using social media to stay in contact with friends and family is a myth. You already stay in contact with the important people in your life. Social media exists to spread awareness of how cool you are. Google+ seems to impede self-promotion; as a result, it fails as a social network.

Uh…really? I suppose if you’re trying to pimp your lame blog that may be true.

The branding of the various Google+ features leaves a lot to be desired. Fan pages are called “sparks.” Unless Google+ has a sponsorship with our third favorite caffeinated alcoholic beverage, the term sparks just makes us feel even lamer when trying to join a Real Housewives fan group.

As opposed to?

Where are the “walls” where we can write and feel like cyber-graffiti artists? You don’t even get to “like” things on Google+; you click on a “+1” button, conjuring up terrible memories of every time your friend promised to get you in somewhere as his plus-one, only to find out you’re not on the list and will need to go to the back of the line for Weird Al’s book signing (you’re still a real prick for that one, Kenny).

Err…because Facebook already does “like” and +1 is well accepted throughout the ’webs as it is?

We know what you’re really waiting to find out: Can Google+ help you get laid? No. Owing to the slow beta rollout of Google+, it lacks Facebook’s best feature: allowing you to gather information about people you want to sleep with. Facebook allows you to see profiles of friends of friends and learn what kind of music they like or if they have a boyfriend who could beat you up.

Didn't Washington get some highly ranked running back a while back?

He was a local boy, I think Stewart was his name…..oh, wait…that’s right. Bummer!

Here we go
The United Football League is experiencing financial woes that are serious enough that the football league has sent home players due to a lack of funds, according to an industry source with knowledge of the situation.

This 2nd hand, but Joey Harrington apparently accused Yahoo of paying Lyles for Oregon for interview. Show proof, Joey, otherwise bad form.

considering the authors of said tweet was purpoting to hear this second hand

wouldn’t that make this tweet bad form via its own reasoning?

He must die. Figuratively of course.

But foolish of Joey to say he was paid for the article I must say.

True.

Yahoo refuted paying him. Probably didn’t.

In other news

I heard from my best friend’s barber that someone told him that Lamichael James’ great aunt’s favorite cookie baker’s daughter’s deadbeat husband’s ex-wife’s aunt’s aunt’s sweet tooth savior’s great-great-nephew is a highly regarded running back.

I can’t figure out who though.

Looks like Harrington actually said that on the radio. I heard it on my drive home.

It was a bad homer move on Harrington.

A report from one of the HS FB recruit camps

Includes this awesome line:

A number of local football players were brought in to serve as guinea pigs and run routes. I think Oregon commit Jake Rodrigues broke seven of their hands and cracked nine of their ribs. Another three were reportedly airlifted out.
