A public school kid, staying at home and growing up. I love this story...and every school has a kid or 2 with somewhat similar ones.

This is a picture of Desean Bishop at 9 years old, taking in a Tennessee football game in Neyland Stadium. 9 years later, he would become the player with the 2nd highest career rushing yards (8,347) and 3rd highest career rushing touchdowns (102) in the history of Tennessee High School football.



After High School, he would be recruited by the University of Tennessee. The program had reduced scholarship numbers available, due to penalties incurred due to Jeremy Pruitt. Tennessee offensive coordinator Alex Golesh would decide that Bishop was not good enough to be offered a scholarship, and would instead be a walk-on.

His Freshman year at UT, he would be charged with reckless driving. He was also injured that season and did not play. He said he reached a low, and needed to change his life. At SEC Media Days this year, Bishop talked about it saying, "When God swooped in and saved my life, it came with all of this that I've received now, so all glory to Him. If you're out there and don't know much about him, I encourage you to at leas try to find a relationship with Him, because it will change your life for the better."

On Saturday, the coach who said he wasn't good enough to offer a scholarship had to watch from across the field to see him break 200 rushing yards and score 3 tds. It was a huge day for him, leading to him being the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. How did he follow it up?



I doubt he was partying, since he was at the early service at his church the following day.

Here's the crazy thing. Florida was 4-0 coming into this game and had just blown out the #4 team in the country, but if you look on the posts leading up to this game, several Florida posters were saying they had a bad feeling about Missouri. Sure, Josh Pate may have been saying they could be the next 2019 LSU...but more than 1 Gator fan on here were voicing their concerns ahead of the game.

My wife is extremely engaged in our financial planning with me and is frugal. She will have no problem financially.

How can you not be a Braves fan? Their logo is the same as Alabama's, only without the mullet.

Show me another fanbase that would have 25 consecutive sellouts while also being in one of the biggest dumpster fire eras in their history.

Nebraska - Not a single season with more than 5 wins between 2017 and 2023...the last game that was not sold out in Lincoln was November 3, 1962.

Faizon. Is that creole?

---

The name itself would have Arabic roots...but his parents say they named him after a barber shop they saw. They were going to name him Zachary Brandon, but saw the barber shop sign and liked the way it sounded. The Barber Shop actually was spelled Faison's, but they liked spelling it with a Z, instead.

I think it is a fair assessment. I was thinking about the QBs...where they are now, and opportunities for improvement. So, I thought I'd add how many starts they have under their belt so far to try and gauge potential growth from experience as the year progresses.
