Can’t wait for this to go to SCOTUS so ACB, Kavanaugh, and Robert’s can once again use the Constitution as toilet paper and side with the ones that are openly liberal.
Relying on the portal is feast or famine. You never get to see the value of investment until they are suited up and in the field or at bat.

Look at the Yankees, who are the closest comparison to building rosters in FA, which is what college is now. It hasn’t exactly worked out well for them. I have faith that CJJ will continue going after the best and will have a success sooner than most. This year just didn’t work out.
Kewan Lacy makes a bidniz decision in week 7 after averaging 60 yards a game and 1 TD because Frank Wilson insists on rotating out the running back that is finding success on the field.

Historically QB development in LHSAA has been abysmal. Take the most athletic kid in the sport and give instructions “if someone is open chuck it as far as you can, if no one is open, run as fast as you can.”

It is why so many post gaudy numbers in high school and either don’t pan out in college or end up playing another position.

I can’t tell what she’s like off the court at all


Really easy way to find out for yourself. Go to to the LHSAA girls BB tournament at SLU where she is a pretty regular attendee for the later rounds, evaluating talent.

She is extremely gracious and will take pics with anyone who asks. She is no nonsense with nonsense media but a great human in general to be around.
A few years ago work brought me to Baton Rouge. I called my godson, a freshman at the time, wanted to know if he wanted dinner on my dime.

He and his crew had been camping out at PMAC for the KY game. Wade ordered them pizza.

Simple act and cheap money bought the student loyalty and we never saw such out of MM or BK for that matter.
Winning Game 3 was a pretty big deal in laying a foundation for later. Would have been worse to have been swept in first SEC appearance
The progressives love their little pets (Islam, Alphabet people, illegals, etc) and don’t get it when the pet rattlesnake bites and the consequences of such.
We lost a practice game where our not best pitchers got some work.

The practice squad put in their aces.

Lighten up, Francis.
No single program can change NIL or their recruiting will be piss poor. And as we have seen NCAA has no teeth in anything. A conference won’t touch NIL (also recruiting related).
There are a large % of Texas GOP that would be democrats if the Blue Dog democrats had any electability. Most of the state legislature, Cornyn, Eye Patch McCain come to mind.
Ole Miss and Chambliss aside this is killing college football which, not long ago, held an undisputed claim as the most popular sport in the country. There is no law that CFB remains the most popular sport- until in the late 70s tennis had a bigger draw than NBA, as an example.

The matter should not have been adjudicated in state court as between 30%-50% of the games are out of state. And that’s before TV contracts.

Perhaps one of the board attorneys can shed some light on why this wasn’t by nature a federal case as opposed to kangaroo court nonsense?
Growing up in the 80s football was trash after Archer’s first year. In high school in the 90s we got Jackson, Shaquille, Singleton, Robert’s and Daddy Dale won a hell of lot more than he lost, while the gridiron has people rearranging the Crazy about Curley bumper stickers to Curley about Crazy.

TL;DR: Growing up Gen X had basketball to cheer for, football was a source of pain
This is an unpopular opinion but dynasties are good for sports. Look at home game attendance for Alabama during the hey day of the Gumps— the chance to upset, however unlikely, drives attention. Or for my fellow old farts remember the Cowboys or 49ers coming to the dome?

Do you think a home and home with Indiana in 3 years will drive the same interest?

Yes parity is good for We Suck At Football U.

Raiders: Open media war with Al Davis before firing


I don’t place a lot of blame on Kiffin for the Raiders. They churned through coaches after Gruden and in his own words he wanted Megatron and got the QB that was the impetus for rookie contracts from that point forward. No one could have been successful with Russell and the headspace he was in after getting drafted.
Biggest takeaway I got it from was he seems focused on legacy and those dreams went into life support on the LA tarmac. Returning to relevance at FAU and Ole Miss resurrected that feeling. That leads me to believe he views Baton Rouge as the best place to build something special.

Outside of USC and Alabama he had to rely on scheme to win. Even the latter his scheme was his bread and butter.

With talent this could be the start of special things.

Ponder ISD linebacker passed away in a sledding accident over the weekend. Were we pursuing him?

Sad to see someone so young go for doing something a kid would do.

I firmly believe he was severely limited by injury. The coaching malpractice was having him play against the instate schools in September. MVB was no special generational talent but I doubt he would have lost either game. Giving Nuss some time to rest and recover.

Spot on analysis— ME1 has the nostalgia aspect even if the inventory was clunky as hell. 2 was a masterpiece of a game and 3 was some of the most fun I have every had in gaming for the first 39.5 hours.

The last 30 mins though. Ugh.
