Wally Watch: Where we read Wally Hall so you don't have to.

Sept. 13, 2007: UA can expect some changes under new AD

Primary Theme: The daring assertion that, under new AD Jeff Long, "it is more than likely there will be some changes or very strong tweaking" to the athletic department. Hard to disagree with that, we guess.

Choice Analogy: "From the day of [Broyles' retirement] announcement until last Friday, the lid on information was tighter than the doors on a new submarine." Knowing a good thing when he sees it, Wally later writes, "Last Friday information about Long was leaking like, well, bad doors on an old submarine."

God Watch: No overt references to matters of faith. However, at one point, after describing Broyles' success in building new athletic facilities, he says of Frank, "One might think he had some carpenter's blood in him." Hmm ... might Wally be ascribing divine qualities to Broyles? If nothing else, we now have an idea for "The Da Vinci Code" sequel.

Delusion of Grandeur: His statement that his column on Tulane Athletic Director Rick Dickson's candidacy for the UA job "did seem to jolt the UA power players into action."

Our Analysis: Not a terrible effort, but, ultimately, you have to ask yourself, "Yeah, so?" Some speculation or informed opinion about what specific changes the new AD may have in store would have been interesting. Alas, there's none of that to be found.

Listen I read your blog and like your posts but your wasting your time on Wally. He is retarded. That’s not just my opinion but a fact. Here’s why: remember some years ago when the eclipse horse of the year Cigar won all those races in a row. When the votes for Cigar were tallied low and behold their were two voters who had cast their votes for other horses. QUESTION what has Wally got in common with a 90 year old (at the time of the vote) Detroit nursing home patient with dementia? You guessed it! Wally and his new found friend voted for other horses. Butt kissing Wally voted for a horse owned by the owner of Oaklawn. That’s not the bad part it gets worse. Wally the butt kisser cannot just own up to kissing Charles’ ass. He goes to great lengths to justify his choice. Wally was castrated in the national press. Ridiculed beyond belief. I haven’t run into the little runt in years but be assured I will ask him if he would like to change he vote. The person in Detroit did the right thing and admitted she was wrong but not butt kissing Wally.
