May 15, 201214 yr He made it clear in his interview that he hates how the NCAA and its members havebecome money-focused. Ever bought any swamp land in Florida, Clyde?
May 15, 201214 yr Author Ever bought any swamp land in Florida, Clyde? I fully realize it doesn't fit your narrative.
May 15, 201214 yr I fully realize it doesn't fit your narrative. Has nothing to do with my anything. The guys entire theme, by his own admission, was to bash Cal for not scheduling Indiana. Why would he throw a jab at the NCAA? Really hard for me to believe and I actually would like to believe him because if that's the case the guy really sucks at what he does. Tallest midget award or not.
May 15, 201214 yr It's amazing how upset some guys get when someone pokes a little fun at Cal. My goodness, other coaches have been In cartoons and it's not been the end of the world. Life will go on in Lexington, Cal will be Cal and the LH will not go out of business. Heck, based on some of the previous posts, I thought they would be closed by now. Guess the cartoon didn't put them under.

May 15, 201214 yr He made it clear in his interview that he hates how the NCAA and its members have become money-focused. Too bad he didn't make it clear in the cartoon. IF that was his intent with the dollar signs, he did a poor job presenting it.
May 15, 201214 yr Pulitzer Prize for drawing cartoons? Very much line being the worlds tallest midget. To tell you little awards mean, Obama won the The Noble Peace Prize. All very prestigious, highly-respected awards, whether you like it or not.
May 15, 201214 yr We will see about LHL. Not too sure they will be around for the long haul. Subscriptions are down to 11 cents per month. I'm not buying this number figure you're tossing around. Not even the smallest newspaper could afford to publish on that low a figure. I'd like to see something backing up that claim, because that sounds like some wacky figure you pulled off a blog or a radio talk show. The newspaper business may be hurting, but it's not hurting that bad. Plus, if you'll notice, the Herald-Leader and its parent company, McClatchy, have weathered the financial issues of recent years far better than many competitors, including the Gannett-owned Enquirer and C-J, both of which have experienced several rounds of layoffs and furloughs that the H-L hasn't gone through.
May 15, 201214 yr Pulitzer Prize winner, one of the best in the business. I know he won a Pulitzer. It must have been a weak field of candidates that year. For Pett to win a Pulitzer would be similar to Steven Seagal winning a Best Acting Oscar.

Jones said he had a former subscriber come up to him a say that is what they called and offered him to come back. Supposedly people from his show were calling and requesting the same price. My post should have had a "rumor is" in front of it because I'm with you, I don't see how that is possible.
May 15, 201214 yr I don't care what side you are on, listen to his interview and you won't like him. Why does Crean get zero blame? UK is chicken for not wanting a home and home but he isn't chicken for refusing to play them in Indianapolis??? Last I checked, that is pretty close to Indiana.

UK is chicken for not wanting a home and home but he isn't chicken for refusing to play them in Indianapolis??? Last I checked, that is pretty close to Indiana. The blame should fall on both equally. Crean has for the most part, has not received any criticism from the national media.
May 15, 201214 yr All very prestigious, highly-respected awards, whether you like it or not. I guess prestige, in this case, is in the eye of the beholder. Just out of curiosity, if he is so good why is he applying his trade at the HL?

I can see 11 cents a day.
