Can't wait to see Napoleon...I've been really digging into the whole 18th and 19th century European history since listening to Dan Carlins "Blueprint for Armageddon" WW1 podcast series last year...I realized I had only a vague understanding of the pressures and tensions on society leading from the Enlightenment onward.

Napoleon's story is absolutely fascinating to me....I wonder when the next one like him will arise.

You are living a Napoleonic (saban) reign of terror in the SEC now.

Thankfully Tennessee has brought in Duke Wellington (Heupel) .

Waterloo is nigh!

Speaking of the reign of terror I started reading a bizarre little book on the speeches of Robespierre last night. 😂

Hitler (smart) was the next Napoleon.

We have a answer for him too. Heupel has a lot of work in front of him, but he’s just the man for the job.

The CFP who runs the playoff has said it's an NCAA issue and that the CFP doesn't investigate or sanction. That appears to imply that they will advance Michigan to the playoffs if they win out.

The NCAA (the schools themselves) is a farce. Their whole priniciple (in action) is to distinguish between schools that are allowed to cheat with impunity and those who are not. They have already had the instance where Harbaugh did something approximately the same as the thing that Bruce did at TN, and then lied to the NCAA like Bruce did, and they game him a four-day paid vacay restricted to the days Michigan played scrubs to start this season as opposed to a show cause. They have said that's not over. Then they have the computer case, which it is incredible if they have not investigated, and a travesty if they have just been dragging their feet to give Harbaugh time to flee penalty-free to the NFL. Now we have the sign stealing issue, in addition.

The B1G coached had a phone conference yesterday to discuss doing something themselves.

Whatever happens, it's extremely likely that the worst portions of the sign stealing scandal (proving stolen signs to other coaches, allegedly, in order to change the playoff composition) will be buried by the general media gravy-train, the networks, the SEC and B1G, CFP, and the NCAA.

They seem to be attempting to help Harbaugh make this assistant the fall guy. That is what happened in the illegal use of university computers case (where every other detail was suppressed).

A lot of people think they will Harbaugh be rewarded with an NFL contract, and then pivot to saying it is not fair to be harsh to the people left behind. Who knows?

I wonder if Freak would be willing to establish a separate SEC/NCAA Grand Conspiracy Board so Orange could continue to go to town with hundreds of posts a day without continually junking up this thread.

Maybe this doesn't fit in this new enlightened age but I believe that if you have the resume of CPF you get an very long leash. If it was truly over he would have bowed out or he would have been allowed to leave gracefully. CPF was treated very disrespectfully.

I was never the biggest PF fan because I loved Coach Majors and I thought he got screwed by Phil, in a much more disrespectful way than Phil..plus other aggravation over the years.

I can appreciate the NC and still think it was time for him to go....Dabo is following in Phils stubborn, anachronistic, arrogant, entitled footprints.

I'm more frustrated with our terrible Admin not being able to replace Fulmer than the actual firing of Fulmer. Fulmer put us in a strong position to bring in a good coach once he was gone. From there, the circus began. At one point, I also believe it was time for Paterno to go in his career (earlier than he did). Though, his last couple of years were strong.

That has always been my beef also. They were years late even starting to think about something they should have been thinking about.

Hitler was really nothing like Napolean when you study them...Napolean was a military and organizational genius leader in the vein of Alexander.

Any of the very rare pappy’s, willet’s etc. stuff liquor stores and most all bars have never even seen with their eyes

Willet is delicious. The restaurant I used to work at downtown had a great relationship with them and the master distiller used to come in once in a while. I know he brought the bar manager a bottle of some more rare stuff the restaurant didn’t get but that bottle was obviously never shared lol. Pretty sure the restaurant used to do a barrel pick each year too.

Plus...the Reign of Terror predated and sort of set up the conditions for Napolean to become the Napolean that changed the world.

DET is their distributor in middle Tennessee right now. Willet won’t sell DET anymore product because DET isn’t very good with their spirit side. So you won’t be seeing willet around any store for a while until DET releases it to someone else. Sad really
