Seems like Texas Tech was under the threat of boycott by other programs for considering doing this. Don’t see why sec ADs don’t threaten the same with LSU?

Given how slimey LSU has been with Wade, Kiffen and now this, I would love to see them get a virtual year off, while missing the playoffs to boot.
We don't really have a message function in this forum. Would have to use a burner email to do it. However, I seriously doubt the guy is going to take you up on the offer.

But, if he does, we will make something happen.
You can use my Venmo as an escrow agency. Let's get this going?

Who wins the prediction thread? The whole board?

A trophy for you!. And you! And you!
Let's have a little more respect for Carlton in his time of loss.

Finebaum is a man to be ignored by anyone with a shred of respectability. He spews garbage for attention. His whole show is, as the youngsters say, cringe.

So. Are people legitimately able to make a living off of a you tube channel?

Well. That's what searching the grassy and wooded areas around the neighborhood were for. :lol:

I'll be honest, protecting my kids from social media was very difficult. When my oldest was in 8th grade instagram came about. Everybody had one. It was the new thing. It seemed pretty harmless, but there were issues. Not the least of which was the DMs.

Later it became tic toc with my youngest. We forbade it, but she found a million ways around us. Take away her phone? She found one of the multitude of old devices still in the house and used the wifi. Confiscate those, the computer she was supposed to be doing school work on was being used for social media. We had a lot of trouble keeping up.

Parents are going to have to take a stand. Absolutely no smart phones for the kids. Just keep them away completely.

The terrible thing about social media is that when i was young, my parents could protect me by saying, "you aren't hanging around with..." Now, the bad influencer is inside our kid's bedrooms, talking to them over earbuds, and feeding them a curated doom scroll of destructive ideology.

Steppenwolf had a song about the pusher.

Have you ever read the Federalist Papers? One of the writers warned about the people being overly connected and factionalism arising from it. Social media does give every crazy idea a platform.

I don't have the patience or skill to do a YouTube channel. I do a fair amount of writing, and I will publish stuff that way.

I have a collegue who is very good at hosting a you tube channel. He has good interviews and it gets a lot of engagement. He attracts people to his branch of our common ministry work; where as, I slog away in obscurity. :lol:

I do watch a lot of stuff on you tube and was wondering how the pleas strike others. They do come off as a bit cringy, but on the other hand, I understand that its a business.

I Love Rick Beato's channel, if anyone likes music and interviews with great musicians I highly recommend it.

Congratulations on the success of your channel.

So, you will like, but not necessarily subscribe. Sounds fair.

Question

A little social research.

What is your opinion of youtubers begging for likes, subscribers and comments? I know they need them for making money, but does the begging work for you? How often do you subscribe, like, and comment on a youtuber's materials? How many YouTube channels do you actually subscribe to? Do you feel a little insulted when they try to trick you into "Commenting below?"
Here is a goody from your namesake after A-day 1977, running up to the NC team of 1978.

Bryant declared that the 1978 team would have "a questionable offense, an average kicking game, and a good defense". :lol:

That was Buddy Aydelette, Jeff Ruttledge, Tony Nathan, Major Ogilvie, Dwight Stephenson, Billy Jackson, Bill Searcey, Jim Bunch. They primarily ran the ball out of the wishbone, and absolutely owned opposing defenses. Put up around 280 yards against Nebraska to start the '78 season.

Oh, and yes. That defense was stout.
Is it time to start freaking out that the OL is able to run on our new and improved D-line?
I'm not sure why we would be hoping that Russell would win the job as opposed to Mack.

Yes.

Also, Katherine was a groundbreaking female journalist in Alabama. Almost certainly Katie has some relation to her.
Spooky. One of the author's of that story is Katie Windham. :lol:
After thinking over things, it seem that it might be wise for some purists to roll out of college football. They are definately not going to be happy with where it is going. Because of the success of NFL with, essentially, pay-for-play athletes, I suspect college football is going to survive under its new form. People will still watch, and even identify with their school, the way that NFL fans identify wiht their local team, even though very few players are actually local, and most are there for a pay check.

It is sad that high level NCAA sports over all have died due to NIL, but, that's reality. Folks can still go watch lower level college sports for that same old thrill.
