re: How much were top high school football recruits in the 1980s getting paid under the table?

Posted by Colonel Angus on 8/18/26 at 12:01 pm to FlyingTigerBo

Back in the mid 90s, Richard Condon had a guy on the show that played OL for SMU back in the early 80s. Guy was from Iowa and had literally never left the family farm other than a few places in Iowa. SMU flew him to Dallas on a recruiting trip in 1979 and a limo driver met him at Love Field with his name on a white sign. He takes him to the limo with the guy thinking he's headed to the campus to meet the coaches and tour everything. The driver opens the back door of the limo and inside is a smoking hot blonde, an incredible Latina, and a smoking hot mixed brunette. Driver said "They got all three because they weren't sure what you were into". He spent the entire weekend in a suite at the Adolphous Hotel in Dallas with them. Never saw the campus or anything. They flew him home Sunday evening and he signed immediately..

Many reasons for this probably, but I would put having phones on nightstands and scrolling in bed every night as the #1 culprit.

Friend of mine lives off Highland. Rides his mtn bike to the tailgates...walks around campus seeing friends, having some beers...rides back to his house before KO and sits in his pool and watches it. Sounds amazing.

re: Who here still thinks AI is garbage and worthless and won't take jobs?

Posted by Colonel Angus on 8/12/26 at 3:41 pm to sidewalkside

We've been using it all year. Nobody is in danger of being let go. But we also haven't hired anyone either. But we didnt hire anyone the 4 years before that as well.

It's a tool. Certain jobs that never should have been there in the first place will be in trouble. It will create some new jobs as well. Its not worth the sky screaming that people on social media and in the media do abt it, however. People just like to yell abt something to sound important and in vogue

I love when they hand you the Ipad or POS device, turn their heads as if you are filling out a secret ballot like they can't see it as soon as you give it back and say "It's going to ask you a couple of questions then you just hit 'confirm'."

Just go ahead and say "Pick a tip % then give it back to me."

If you have to connect..it's almost not really worth it esp if you check a bag. Unless it means driving like 12-15 hours. If the drive is less than 9 hours and you can't fly direct...driving is infinitely better.

Those discussions abt Lee Dr and improvements to it were being discussed back in the mid 90s when I lived there. Over 30 years ago.

They also had a very, very solid defensive haul in the portal. That game is going to be a war.

Because he could re-enter the draft next summer instead of having to wait three years if he comes to LSU.

I've parked there a few times. You can go out onto Burbank (if they still let you out that way) and take it all the way to Siegen/Sherwood Forest to 12.

This. That was the most poorly managed football game by both teams that I have ever watched. My favorite line in a write-up about it the next day said, "And then Derek Dooley did the worst possible thing he could do during the Les Miles and LSU created nonsense. He reacted to it."
