Desperation Creates Desperate People & Decisions

You just described our situation as well.

Anytime you spend 12 million dollars on a high school football player, you’re desperate.
We don’t know how Underwood will influence their program, but we’ll find out. I personally hope it falls apart for everyone involved.
If they’re smart they make coaching changes and build an offense tailored to Bryce.

fanva, I usually agree w/your takes, but not totally this time.

TRUE - The NCAA ran Harbaugh off with a witch hunt that started long before the spying.

NOT SURE BUT LEANING TO QUITE POSSIBLE - Michigan may now be the biggest NIL player in the game. Doesn't seem desperate. They seem inspired.

TRUE BUT W/RESERVATIONS - Make no mistake if it were LSU we wouldn't be crying out in desperation. We are only upset because it's not us. But at the cost of 10+m, it just seems ridiculous as the NIL dollars could be spread around to ensure other positions can support the QB properly.

FINAL TAKE - There is never an unlimited supply of money (except possibly in the fed gov't), and if so, it usually ends up in waste (except usually in the fed gov't).

And ole miss is all but out of it now. Just cause you spend a lot of money doesn’t mean it will translate.

Yep, all in moderation makes smart outcomes.

OM, aTm, etc all wasted a bunch when they shot their load. Hate to see it.

What you have not heard is how Mich had fallen so far after a national championship. 5-5 is not good vs teams in the SEC (AL and GA) who just grind out season after season.
