BK is real good at blaming school limitations on his success.

Well, not going to bat for Kelly, per se, but this one is a little different.

Underwood was literally on a Zoom call with Larry Ellison, the fifth richest man in the world, and Dave Portnoy discussing the money Underwood will get and all of the marketing Bar Stool will provide for Underwood. Michigan also sent in Tom Brady speaking with him and his father. How the hell are we to compete with that? “Dur….not to worry, Underwood really likes our offensives coordinator, Joe Sloan!” 😕🙄

Link: Brian Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU to win a title. Why is he further away from that than ever?

That was a very well-reported story with a lot in there. I thought this part was pretty interesting...

“When Brian Kelly’s at Notre Dame, he can be his CEO self. He’s often surrounded by excellent staff members and business just goes on as usual,” the former assistant said.

Thirty years of being one of the most successful coaches in college football has made Kelly confident in his ability to build a winning program. At LSU, he seems to have underestimated the need to adjust.

Kelly brought with him from Notre Dame an accountability system for the players, which rewards and penalizes things such as timeliness, dress code, health and wellness check-ins and taking nutritional supplements. Players are either above the line or below the line, and being below can result in a loss of playing time.



“You can’t be late for meetings. You’ve got to take your vitamins every day. You have to do a wellness check-in app on your phone every day, and for (some of) these guys it’s a foreign language to them,” the former staffer said. “… Installing culture is a great idea, but now the way you’re installing culture is actually creating a culture problem.”

So has anyone identified what Ellison’s connection to UM is? It’s not his wife because he doesn’t have one currently and it’s not his girl friend because she is Ukrainian and went to college there. What am I missing?

The video I saw from Portnoy said that Ellison’s wife is a Michigan alum (Jo Lynn or a similar name)…….it‘s in the All Things Skunkbears thread.

He’s not married and none of his 4 exes have that name and his current girl friend doesn’t have that name and has no connection to UM.

Interesting……seems like Portnoy would be smart enough not to make up something that could be easily fact checked. Wonder why he is just making stuff up, odd.

This is just weird the only reference to Jolin Ellison being married to Larry Ellison is by sports articles about Underwood. No where else can find her referenced. Nothing on his wiki page and I don’t see a wiki page on her. This is weird. No where except articles about the underwood flip do I see any reference to Ellison currently being married.

Mods please move this to Michigan thread if you feel I am derailing this thread. Just very curious about this situation because it doesn’t make sense.

A super quick google search says you’re wrong…

That’s an AI over view which again is in reference to the Underwood flip. I can find no other information about his marriage to her and his wiki page says he has been divorced 4 times and never married to anyone named Jolin. I am not trying to be right or wrong. I am just trying to understand it.

Appreciate the respectful response, and I was also not trying to be right or wrong just posting what I found because I too was curious about how all that transpired. I must admit though, I am a little ignorant still of all the AI stuff and what is real and not when it comes to googling things these day.

Oracle Billionaire Larry Ellison Funded Michigan’s NIL Stunner

Larry Ellison, the billionaire founder of Oracle, played a key role in Michigan flipping Bryce Underwood from LSU, FOS has confirmed.
frontofficesports.com frontofficesports.com
Champions Circle deleted that statement Friday and shared a new one, hours later, that removed the surname “Ellison” and referred only to “Larry and his wife Jolin.”

Larry Ellisons “secret wife” with the same sur name as him. That would mean that she either conveniently had the same last name or legally changed her name which would then not make this much of a secret. Lol.

AI combined with sports “reporting” is going to be the end of us all.

Yeah holding the players accountable by being on time and ensuring their health with nutrients and technology is creating a culture problem? Who is this source?

LSU just seems rotten to the core if the players can’t do simple responsible tasks that are in their own best interest.
