Didn’t they also throw D-cell batteries at him? Or was that someone else?

Go recruit DB’s, RB’s and WR’s that are coming out of college that don’t make NFL rosters. Add a TE or tall WR for goalie.


Those guys may tick the athleticism and meanness boxes that our national team lacks, but there’s no way in hades they could come remotely close to mastering the technique of the game in that short of a timeframe. For our top athletes to compete at a high level internationally they’ve got to devote 100% to Futbol from age 3.
quote:

I disagree with that. Not all schools, but there are a bunch that are every bit as rabid as European and South America fans. Hell, weve had fans kill each other over football losses. Coaches have had bricks thrown thru their windows after losses and thats just Bama fans.


The USA has pockets of fan groups, especially in the SEC, who approach the all consuming passion of the Futbol fan, but they are just that, pockets. Futbol dominates the mental health of entire nations in Europe and South America.
quote:

Did we win the World Baseball Classic? We're only good at sports that we invented here in America (like basketball or American Football). With the resources and built-in advantages, we should "kick ***" at everything.


We didn’t invent swimming or track and field and dominate those events in international competitions.
And we didn’t invent ice hockey and just won a gold.
Soccer is different—it is more than a sport in the South American and European countries; it is hardwired in their cultures, equivalent to a religion. Most posters here, me included, are passionate college football fans but I’d wager that our passion pales in comparison to the Futbol cult.
quote:

More kids play soccer now than baseball and football


And many can’t walk and chew gum at the same time but still get participation trophies. And then middle school arrives, and the real athletes abandon soccer and devote themselves to American sports.
quote:

As one of the responses says “young single women, gay men and islamists”


I guess the gay men and young single women don't realize that the Islamists will throw the gays off rooftops, after which they will rape the women. Useful idiots, indeed.

President Trump is being extremely patient (which is NOT his nature) SOLELY based on the daily gyrations of the S&P 500 and the energy markets


FIFY
I’ll never have a hard time cheering for LSU, and will always watch college football, which is still great entertainment, regardless of the influx of NIL $$.

But yeah, the school loyalty thing is as dead as the Dodo bird.
1) Clutch throw and catch
2) Didn’t that WR play for LSU?

Such is “college” football circa 2025.

I hope so. Lane typically doesn’t use tight ends as much in his offenses.


Green is a TE in name only (TINO).

Centenary bringing back football?


They did two years ago and no, even the ‘Nary doesn’t want these dough boys.
They’re ranked and LSU’s first, second and the rest are not.

I was there. Down 20 and Faulk took over


Me, too. SEZ was rocking that night.

The Houston broadcast is great entertainment, especially the retired coach providing the color. "We gotta, we gotta, we gotta..."

Yes, b/c it's on Saturday instead of a week day.
Maybe Iowa St.? He likes the cold.

Why hasn't this been updated to show that Big Rich signed with us? thought it was official.

He hasn’t been killed in prison yet?
