OT: Hypocrisy in politics

I've been reading online that the 'Plan' is to change him out with another candidate since you can't easily transition him out when he's running for another term.

My thought has always been that Michelle Obama was going to run one day. Maybe this is the year it happens?

I've seen some of that discussion too, but it may be too late. Some states, including NV, have timeframes that candidates need to be in by. They can't be replaced except when there is a death, or in some states, a couple other exceptions apply.

I have no idea what the Democrats are going to do, but they can’t roll like this and expect to win.

Houston Game

lvrebalum2012
Looking at our schedule closer, this is a very important game to keep momentum from last season going and to set up for another successful year.

Lose against Houston, and we’ll most likely be 1-1 heading into a tough 6 game stretch (@KU, Fresno, Syracuse, @ USU, @ Oregon St, Boise). Winning more than 2 of those will be a feat.

Last 4 of our schedule is very favorable, just have to get there in decent shape first.

I don't know if it is fair to set the bar for a statue, or any other memorial, from Tark.

Remember Tark had his Jersey retired, then a court named after him, then a statue.

I agree Odom needs to be a long termer to get something put up in his name. But I don't think a Natty is necessarily the bar, especially where it is nearly impossible for football unless you are an ELITE POWER school.

Andre Ware won a Heismann, right? He does color commentary for all Texans games on the radio. He also does some college football.

Can't forget the pride of Houston, Case Keenum!

Oh, and there's David Klingler, who set an all-division record of 11 TD passes in a game, and 716 yards in a game (since surpassed twice). Finished third in the Heisman voting, behind Ty Detmer and Rocket Ismail.

For consideration.... in like 8-10 years, UNLV will be playing for a different national championship than SEC and Big 10 teams anyway.

I think I like Barry Odom Field at Allegiant Stadium

Not to mention, where would you put the statue, in front of the practice facility? Cant do it at the stadium..

Does the exterior access point at Wildcat Park still exist with the new building? Or did that get eaten up with the FFC? But ya know, in 20 years when it's statue time, might be another good spot somewhere for it!

Agree with everything else. Sustained top-tier success is the only time the statue conversation should be really going. Love what Odom did in year one, but we aren't at statue yet.

I know who youre talking about, and I know he likes to drive alot of conversation from a self appointed Pedestal to alot of Rebel fans who werent around during the "good ole day"...

That said, I dont think you build a statue just because he's done something other coaches here havent.. I mean it took Tark how many years to get a statue built and he won a freaking national championship. So if thats the bar youve set, you cant lower it for winning or even qualifying for the CFP.. Not to mention, where would you put the statue, in front of the practice facility? Cant do it at the stadium.. but besides that, theres a bar for building statues. just simply winning games unless its for like 30 years wouldnt meet that bar.
