respect my decision™
Again, the reason why I'm here in April: @RabidDawgClassic pillow-talk memes and my Bethesda brother's naturalist discourses.

And, yes, my friends... I already enjoyed the bison dissertation during an Illini game TO when the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial appeared :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Now, if only Jim will wrestle a Florida Gator as Marlin Perkins provides detached commentary. (Before I typed "Marlin Perkins" I typed "Merlin Olsen" and then did quick confirmation search. This indicates how many decades it has been since I thought of either Merlin Olsen or Wild Kingdom.)

I realize that no one under 50 here likely has any idea (or will care) what I'm talking about. That's my value-add to Loyalty, such as it is.

watch as Jim is being crushed by the juvenile anaconda

No longer in New England
In Central Illinois in the mid-60's....3. Pre-PBS. :D

To give a frame of reference re my age, I had 2 reactions to JFK's assassination, the main one being my displeasure at Captain Kangaroo being preempted

While brutally true at its core, I think this is a bit unfair. CF was absolutely bringing in top HS talent; both Harris and Hansberry were state players of the year in high school. This does not always translate to college or pro success, but come on.

The difference of course is that now you can cherry-pick from the portal every year, if you choose to do so. Seems like a difference in philosophy in roster construction between Brad and Chester.
I'm honestly not trying to belittle any contribution Chester Frazier made here. I hope people understand this.

We are in a new world now. Brad Underwood clearly wants to use the transfer portal to its maximum impact. In Portal World, a high school recruit is going to need to be that much better when in a program that wants to use the portal like this. I can see where that would be a philosophical difference between a head coach and an assistant.

I fully understand that philosophical differences lead to departures in all industries. I've been on the wrong end of those before, and the best thing to do is end up somewhere that aligns more with your vision.

But in any case, I do want to see Chester Frazier be extremely successful in his new role.
