Why did you put Willis Wilson and Tommy Brown on there when Barber said he hadn't talked to them?

Thought since they were mentioned by Chris I'd put them in. I can't delete them, can you?

No one from VT. Those two guys are recruiting coordinators and they couldn't even recruit Seth.

Twice.

That was Greenburg's fault

I am in the Cline camp because of the experience and the hope that he would bring us some BIG men!

I've got to say, out of all the polls we've had, this is the one I think we're all least qualified to vote in. And we've had a wide variety of subjects polled around here.

I voted for Cline, but I'd be excited about Cline or Odom. They seem to have VA connections.

I voted for Soucie. No one on that list stands out to me as being a big name, so I'm good with the guy who has already been building the current program and system. I also like the fact he has been in close contact with our current recruits. I think he deserves a shot, especially with the list of options that we current have.

Every encounter I've ever had with Coach Soucie has been a good one. From all accounts, he's a very good assistant coach. The players seem to really like him.

With all that being said, I can't help but lump him in with McKay. I know that he is not McKay and what McKay did doesn't mean he'll do it too, but I'm sorry, I'm human. I can't make that distinction. Most people I've talked to are the same way. No one has a bad thing to say about Soucie except that he's so tightly linked to McKay that they feel a little dirty. It's like your best friend breaking up with a girl and then you still hang out with the girl behind his back. It doesn't feel right.

Is she hot?

Eh. Definitely not ugly. Depends on the length of the skirt and the cut of the shirt.

Hotness in certain clothes does not equal overall general hottitude. I'm disappointed in the potentially titillating aspects of this analogy. You can do better, Jon. :nonono

I was describing the best friend's girl. I didn't pick her. He did.

She sounds like one of those "I'm-dating-Jesus-but-we-can-still-all-be-friends" types. This never ends well. Your hypothetical best friend should have known better.

and if this hypothesis is right, then the girl will subsequently 1 month later start dating another guy... So what does that say about Soucie in all this?
