Eh..IMO Joe Webb's done a lot more for UAB since he's been gone than Roddy White, and Roddy White has better opportunities to help.

But, to each his own. Good to have famous draft picks from your school, regardless.

Am I wrong in my interpretation of that exquisitely written and grammatically impeccable piece of prose?

I concur.

Geez, here's a translation for you highly educated, speakers of the Queens English, and always grammatically correct writers.

"UAB head coach left to go be the OC at Louisville Terrible told B Mac to hire Paul Petrino he actually calls plays"

UAB head coach has resigned to become the offensive coordinator at the University of Louisville and that's terrible. My recommendation to Brian Mackin, UAB's athletic director, is to hire Paul Petrino because he actually calls plays.

Wrong translation. Pretty clear to me he was saying that his recommendation when Mackin was searching for a coach last time was to hire Paul Petrino. I doubt Mackin has had time today to field calls from Roddy White.

The "told" threw me a little.

Roddy has had time though.

Where's Dee Dee Bonner when you need her?

If he's saying he should've hired Paul Petrino when Mcgee was hired, he's still taking a swipe at McGee by insinuating he didn't call any plans while OC at Ark.

Do we want a Petrino??? I assume there's relations w/ Booby so would there still be some "hard feelings" etc if we did hire him

Relations with booby are a good thing.

That would be pretty accurate.
