We were close to losing it - Control The Dream - Prima donna


 Tinker:

We were close to losing it. Slowly drifting away from us like a warrior who was not needed any more. All the mistakes were accumulating into a drowning pool dragging our fighting spirits down. No said Les Miles, "I'm not satisfied with the direction of my LSU football team any longer." I see that the Ravens are making a big mistake of their own, by firing Cam Cameron. I know Cam Cameron said Les Miles, and he is a real offensive football coordinator. Hay Cam how about coming on over to coach our LSU fighting tigers football team here at LSU? Cam said, "yes."

And I swear to high heaven that the thing is back. I'm walking taller, speaking easier. Because the fighting tiger spark is indeed back, deep inside me again. Damn the torpedoes straight ahead!!! Lets go tear Bryant/Denny Stadium down...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqvnV5Hq26s&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Tinker:

Ha ha ha...lol. This is a crummy kind of after effect that we the people seem to be receiving from this guy, president Obama. That is really not helpful to all the American people. I have no idea what he think that America should be doing about this country's problems. I really don't even know if he truly cares. All I seem to see is a guy trying to be a Prima donna without the ability of one.
Maybe if Obama was good at something else beside reading. Our country could get the government running better for everyone?

ALSO:

The United States seem like its society is getting more corrupt than better. Because everywhere that I look and read I see someone wanting to ether ignore the Law, or bend a rule. Fixing the game to serve their self interest. On and on, even into college football. Rules that were instituted into the NCAA with the intention to keep college football on a amateur level. Is now getting pushed on my sports writers, self interest businessmen, to let the flood gate open to give extra payment to the college football players.

People who want to pay the college football players these days, are just another addition to the band wagon mobster. Looking for a piece of the American people fools pie. More is never enough for crooks. Because they never earn the money that they get honestly anyway. Crooks are by nature dishonest. Selling anything from armature athletic. Sporting brand, and goods, is wrong according to the NCAA laws that intends to keep amateurs athletics a sporing game for armature. If you want to make money from athletics, turn pro.
Leave the college university's alone, and mind your business?

But I just might be in a minority in 2013 because I see that some of the polls on the subject has most of the America people falling for that fools gold again.
Take a look?

Report: Nevin Shapiro gave out $170K

Updated: February 27, 2013, 4:10 PM ET
Associated Pres
Has Miami Suffered Enough?
Greg Cote and Andy Katz discuss the NCAA's handling of its probe into Miami's athletic department.Tags: Donna Shalala, Greg Cote, Andy Katz, Nevin Shapiro, College Sports, OTL, Outisde The Lines
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- The NCAA is alleging that former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro was responsible for providing about $170,000 in impermissible benefits to Hurricanes athletes, recruits, coaches and others between 2002 and 2010.

Shapiro allegedly spent more than half that amount -- at least $90,000 -- in an effort to get NFL players Vince Wilfork and Antrel Rolle to sign with a sports agency he was involved with, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press Wednesday on condition of anonymity because neither Miami nor the NCAA has publicly released the allegations.

Also included in the allegations: That Shapiro spent at least another $56,000 on "meals, entertainment, clothing, jewelry, travel, lodging and cash" on football players, recruits and others. The NCAA alleged that Shapiro spent that on 72 then-players, three recruits and 12 "friends and family members" of those either on the team or being recruited by the school.

Virtually all of the Hurricane players listed as receiving some sort of extra benefit from Shapiro left the program several years ago.

The figures that the NCAA's enforcement staff cited in the notice of allegations add up to a significantly lower total than what Shapiro told Yahoo! Sports in 2011, when he estimated his extra-benefit spending spree as going into the "millions of dollars."

If true, the NCAA only listed a sliver of that in the allegations. The figures that were sent to Miami also were described as "approximate total values."

The NCAA said Shapiro also provided extra benefits in the forms of impermissible supplemental compensation to at least three former Miami assistant coaches, along with travel benefits and other items.

Miami received its notice of allegations, ones that included a lack of institutional control for failing to properly monitor Shapiro's activities as a booster, last week. It also includes charges that three former assistant coaches broke what's known as the NCAA's Rule 10.1 -- governing ethical conduct -- by misleading the investigation. Two of those former assistants have asked that their cases be thrown out because of problems the NCAA acknowledged with the way it conducted the probe.

The NCAA's Committee on Infractions wants to hear the case in June.

The Hurricanes have already self-imposed several sanctions, including sitting out two bowl games and a conference football championship game. Miami president Donna Shalala said on two occasions last week that she believes those punishments should be enough.

Shapiro is serving a 20-year prison term for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme.

LSU2015 Update from William Jenkins

To:  LSU System Faculty, Staff and Students
From:  William Jenkins
Date:  February 26, 2013
Re:  LSU 2015

The process for the reshaping of LSU is well underway and it is my hope you are following and participating in the process. These are historic times as we have engaged faculty, staff, students and alumni from across the state to help create an LSU that can compete and excel in the rapidly changing environment of higher education in the 21st century.

More than 75 individuals from across the LSU System are participating in a series of meetings that will change LSU forever. You can monitor the progress of this re-organization process – called LSU2015 – by going to www.lsu.edu/LSU2015. Also, we are making every effort to stream each meeting live via the Internet. You can find all of the live streams and archived videos at www.lsu.edu/tat.

LSU’s Transition Advisory Team, the 10-member panel tasked with investigating best practices and developing information for the LSU Board of Supervisors in the re-organization process, has already met three times.  Among those meetings was a day-long Immersion Workshop when the Team heard from Dr. Stan Ikenberry, the former president of the University of Illinois and of the American Council of Education, who provided insight into the efforts of other universities to prepare for the challenges of the future.  Other expert testimony will be employed to bring as much expertise to the process as possible

Five sub-committees have also been commissioned in the areas of Academics, Finance and Revenue, Research and Discovery, Student Experience, and Technology and Operations.  The sub-committees are designed to generate information in specific areas of focus and will meet no less than three times each in order to produce reports to the Transition Advisory Team. Every sub-committee will have met at least once by the end of this month.

To dig even deeper into each of those areas, Task Force Groups have been created to focus on specific areas of priority. There are six Task Force Groups working on various subjects related to re-organization. These areas include commercialization and technology transfer, streamlining, external affairs, administrative services, revenue generation and technology.

I encourage you to follow this process closely because it affects everyone on every campus in the LSU System. All meeting schedules are posted at www.lsu.edu/LSU2015, as well as all presentations seen by the committees and press releases summarizing the discussions. I also encourage you to share your thoughts by writing to president@lsu.edu.

Thank you for your continued service to and support of LSU.

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report

LSU’s spring football practice session is only 15 days away, and it should be a very interesting one. I’m looking forward to seeing how new offensive coordinator Coach Cam Cameron interacts with the team and staff, and how the two early enrollee freshmen quarterbacks play into things. The starting quarterback job is clearly senior Zach Mettenberger’s, but it will be interesting to see if the two new hotshot quarterbacks challenge Steven Rivers for the No. 2 role. Remember, under Cameron’s direction in San Diego, Rivers’ older brother, Philip Rivers, was very successful and earned a Pro Bowl selection in his first season as a starter.

While on the topic of football, LSU was very well represented in the NFL combine that ended yesterday. I had hoped to have something special for you today on the combine, but it's not quite ready yet. What I'm working on is another interview with NFL Draft Expert Michael Detillier, and I hope to have it ready to share with you tomorrow morning. In the meantime, here are a few tid-bits from yesterday's testing of the defensive backs:

• Tyrann Mathieu was clocked unofficially at 4.43 in the 40 and had a very good overall showing. Check out this video of Deion Sanders breaking down Mathieu's past and how he will overcome it to have an outstanding career in the NFL. Sanders speaks very highly of Mathieu and calls him a “Baller” who will have big success in the NFL.

• Eric Reid was clocked at 4.53 in the 40. At 6'1" 1/4, 213, that is nothing to sneeze at.
• Tharold Simon was clocked at 4.48 in the 40.

In baseball news, LSU improved to 7-1 with an 11-2 win over UL-Lafayette in in front of a sellout crowd at Moore Field. The Tigers collected 14 hits in the game, and now have an incredible 33 hits and 24 runs in their last two outings.
