There have been times when an AD or administrator has done something that I questioned, and in some cases I did turn out to be onto something. There was a season we gave the head cheerleader a microphone- you don't have to be Bill Belichik to know that's a silly idea. I am comfortable giving McGillis and Bennett the benefit of the doubt, though. Sadler seems OK and Hopson's strengths are obvious.

Anyone that talks like this, then lists a scripture underneath his message has issues.

You become enraged over little stuff and have done this before on here.

All the AD did was spin this situation in his favor as I would expect any AD would do. If you can't see for what it is, that's your own fault. Good luck to you

Maybe, maybe not.

AD: "Coach X, If you are offered the job, would you take it?"

Coach X: "No thanks!"

AD: "We never offered Coach X the job".

When was the last time you heard an introductory press conference and the AD says - yeah, he's our 5th choice.

THIS. I've never heard an AD say "we are so happy to have our 5th choice". Whoever is hired is always the "the one", a clear unanimous choice that is always the culmination of a grueling nationwide search process that left no stone unturned. The AD's always express amazement at the depth and quality of the applicants. Pretty sure the whole patter is in the NCAA AD "how to be an AD" rule book.

It's a lot like a national signing day. I have yet to hear a coach say he wasn't absolutely elated and excited with his recruiting class. I've never heard a coach say--"well, dad gum it, we tried really hard, but this class isn't all that hot. We're going to need to do a lot better next year".

Sure. It's the AD version of coachspeak. Same thing happens when there are three finalists for a HC job and a couple of them "withdraw" from the job search just before the hire is announced. All that means is that they got the word that they were not getting hired and they have been given some time to gracefully back out.

In all seriousness, there is a tendency among Americans to equate Christianity and Puritanism: a good Christian is someone who doesn't drink / smoke / dance / curse / smoke dope / whatever. That's not really central to Catholicism, though. Sure, the rules are basically the same, but the emphasis is different. Personally, I had no idea there was anyone who thought beer or dancing were unchristian until I moved to non-coastal MS.

I would LOVE to see in the bible where it says to not drink, dance, etc. For God's sake, making wine was Christ's first miracle. So tell me... What exactly is the emphasis of Catholicism?

Seems to be the eucharist and the other sacraments. I'm hardly a theologian, though.

I'm a Catholic apologist, so if any of you nutty nondenoms or mainline Protestants want to argue theology, well.....let's do this.

Will probably need to move this thread unless it goes back on topic btw. Which would be nice.

Insofar as the Mass is concerned, yes, the Eucharist is a point of emphasis. However, catholic morality is no different from any other Christian religion... All of our readings, etc. come from the bible.
