Negatives: Readily plays the stupid woke game and the stupid, money-wasting MAC football game. Granted these are deeply ingrained and would be difficult to buck, but Goetz is simply part of both problems. Let Whitford linger around like a bad fart odor for way too long. Positives: MIGHT have made a good hire in Lewis, but nobody knows yet. Overall: D D that's rough I agree with the Whit part but Atletics as a whole are pretty good right now Contrarians gonna contrary. |

The only knock on her would be how long Whitford hung around. But she got it done faster than most of us expected so credit is due. Otherwise, conf. champs in football, both volleyballs, and women's tennis. I give her an A and think anything less than a B would be hard to defend.

I wanted to follow-up on this from a few days ago, as I think it's one of the more insightful comments you have made. The Biden administration is generally happy with increased gasoline prices as it is an opportunity to push folks into electric vehicles (EV's). Take the comments of their Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg: thehill.com/dem-lawmakers/583325-buttigieg-electric-vehicle-owners-never-have-to-worry-about-gas-prices-again/There were also the comments by the Energy Secretary, Granholm after the Colonial Pipeline was hacked causing gasoline shortages on the East Coast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPsTEaXbNY4But here is the problem, you are never going to run our modern civilization on renewable energy and here is why. When you drill an oil well, the amount of energy you get out, even when you add-in the energy needed to transport the crude oil to a refinery and turn it into petroleum products, is about 30x. That is for every unit of energy invested you get 30 units out. For renewable energy, this return on energy invested is around 1 to 3. First you have to invested energy in mining the raw materials (all fossil fuels). Then you have to transport the raw materials such as iron ore to a steel mill (again fossil fuels required to do this). Next you have to process and refine the metals and make the necessary metal and plastics parts (mainly done with fossils fuels). Then you have to build-out the solar farms or erect the wind turbines. There are not electric cranes for doing this. All the first 7 to 10 years of energy production from a solar panel or windmill is just paying back the fossil fuel energy used in making it. The life expectancy of a solar panel or windmill is about 20 years, so you are getting net energy out for the last 10 to 13 years; hence the 1 unit of energy in for 3 units out. This 1 to 3 ratio is pretty similar to what was achieved by the agrarian societies of the 18th century. If you add-up the amount of energy put in to raise hay and corn, feed that to your beasts of burden (horses and oxen); the amount work done by those animals pretty much returned energy at a 1 to 3 ratio. Let me ask what is, perhaps, a stupid question. I've done literally zero research into this, so forgive me if it is ridiculous. How close are we to running out of fossil fuels? We call it a non-renewable resource for a reason, but is it 10 years, 100 years, 1 billion years? We will never run out. |

It is rare isn't it. I did do my homework before making such a rash claim. How did yoy like reading that rule book? Everytime I open I feel like I need a translator If his posts here are any indication, 00 has understood about 0.0000000001% of the total material he has read in his life and you should independently verify anything he tells you. |

Ok let's put this to bed Thanks, Rob! Appreciate you reaching out on this. We have to notify the students of the renewal or non-renewal prior to July 1 every year and it covers fall and spring terms of the following year. As far as Luke, he will not be back. Are you talking in the third person now or have you gone multiple personality on us? |

This is the first I’ve ever seen him called Montana.

Ships without a rudder never find a port. Or something philosophical like to explain athletes transferring multiple times. Damn, that's deep.  |

I think Blazik at some point next year will take over at QB. Just a gut feeling Neu has appeared reluctant to make changes like that. Seems like once Neu picks his guy he sticks with him. |

Or we dont have the talent we hoped we had. From all accounts, they all have been very good. Unless they just aren't ready for the college game. Interesting to see what happens. Certainly hope so, but I’ve been disappointed after hearing good things from camp before. |

I also don't think we are in competition mode any longer. The staff seems to be 100% behind paddock Paddock must be pretty decent to pull away from the talent we have. Or we dont have the talent we hoped we had. |

I think good? But this? "From 2000-15, Meeks was out of coaching after a 2000 arrest during a recruiting trip in Chicago. Police charged Meeks with soliciting a prostitute and drug possession and resigned from Butler. Meeks then had two charges were dropped with the third acquitted."  |
