How would the numbers situation continue to hurt them?

I'm not an expert, but I thought the Boys of Troy delayed the start of the scholarship reduction by one year via appeal? Their 2011 recruiting class was huuuuuuge (in quantity). http://espn.go.com/college-sports/footba...class/2011

So they still have one more season of 10 fewer signings.

Additionally, THe scholarship reductions hurt you both coming and going, from what I understand. I think the max you can sign any year is ~25 scholarships. So US'C will not be able to scale right back up once the reductions are over. It will take a few years. ANd then it will take a few years for those recruits to grow into D1 bodies. Three years of 10 scholarships reductions is a BIG deal.

Thanks, I had forgotten about the one year delay. I knew I wasn't tracking with something.

Salesman is an excellent description of Kiffie's only core competency. [b] It's probably how he got his job and his wife.

It's how we all got our wives...

You two must be newly weds.

29 years now, man.  And still selling....

Single.  And perhaps I need to try my hand at sales.

The running joke among college football fans across the country is that Kif will get the UT job.  Here's a conspiracy theory as to how it can happen.

This sounds plausible, but I don't know enough about Texas politics to opine as to how ridiculous this is.  fullmetal, thoughts?
