Once upon a time there was a really big donor by the name of King Hussein. King wanted the Cougars to have a nice castle to live in and practice football. Bateman learned of King's desire to give him a big pot o' gold so the castle could be built. Bateman heralded throughout the land that a castle would be built. He even spoke to the tribal elders who blessed the plan for a new castle, and building began. One problem, King saw that the once mighty Cougars had turned into tiny kittens. King was angry and took his pot o' gold and was never heard from again. Bateman was sad. He knew the tribal elders did not wish to use their pot o' gold to build the castle, but the castle was already half-built. The tribal elders became angry and shit hit the fan!...Val Hale was beheaded...Bateman was banished to lord over a lesser part of the kingdom...and the Cougars came under the power of a hated one from the north country.Originally posted by falafel View PostReally? I've never heard that. What specifically did he do wrong? Give me the vol. 1 dust jacket summary.
And they all lived happily ever after. The end.

Damnit! I forgot to mention that the once mighty Cougars were turned tiny kittens by a magic wizard named Crowton.Originally posted by originalsocal View PostOnce upon a time there was a really big donor by the name of King Hussein.

Bateman failed at everything for the Cougs.
He axed the wrestling and men's gymnastics teams which were both top five programs.
He failed to get the expansions necessary and promised the other Olympic sports a lot of things but never delivered.
He was a mini-Ernie Wilkerson and treated many a professor like shit, handing down edicts like a demonic king, acting against academic freedom and ruling like an autocratic tyrant. Other than that he was wonderful. Also he started or re-started the reign of GAs as President.
Bateman is a curse word among those who know him."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

Horseshit.. I read further and he talks about teams who do not have a conference championship. They should be looked at their entire body of work. Clearly SEC does have a Championship game which indicates he feels stronger that a conference champion should weigh more.Originally posted by falafel View Post
That my opinion and sticking to it. Oh, and Saban can ESAD..

Also, not sure you can blame Batemen, a G.A., for starting or restarting the "reign of G.A.s as president." I doubt he placed himself in that role.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

He damaged BYU and its athletics to an extreme extent. He was the beginning of the end, if the ship is not righted.Originally posted by falafel View PostSheesh. Seems a biiiiiit over dramatic.

Okay, he was an administrative bully? You never like colorful descriptions after writing dry legal briefs?Originally posted by falafel View PostDon't forget that he was a demonic autocratic tyrant king!"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

He was not respected by administrative staff due to his style and lack of respects for the opinions of those beneath him. He made promises to the athletic community which he did not keep, he failed to respect academic freedom and people believed he spied on certain professors, creating a narking system.Originally posted by falafel View PostI'm a fan of accurate language, because I write dry legal briefs.
Do you prefer that? I suppose you watch C-SPAN for your entertainment as well."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Well it certainly provides something close to details, which was what I was asking for earlier in this thread. Much better than penning a bad fantasy novel and including Bateman as the demonic king.Originally posted by Topper View PostHe was not respected by administrative staff due to his style and lack of respects for the opinions of those beneath him.

If GA stands for Gigantuan Asshole then I agree.Originally posted by falafel View PostSheesh. Seems a biiiiiit over dramatic.

He is not a General Authority to me.

That's probably right. He's now an emeritus General Authority.Originally posted by dabrockster View PostIf GA stands for Gigantuan Asshole then I agree.
