This sounds exactly like an answer my wife and her friends give each other [all women really] … The idea of having a flexible schedule does not compute with them. The literally can’t function if plans call for going with the flow.

A combo of sponsors, geography, family money, & nepotism

The winter sports probably even lean heavier on the rich kids who grew up near a mountain or something like that.

Take any sledding sport for example there’s like four or five people on the Olympic luge team that just so happen to all be from Lake Placid, NY. … which is also, one of two locations in the US where someone can get on a sledding track.

They’re not all just trust fund kids trying to make it, but the Olympic committee does local outreach to find athletes that may have the aptitude for said sledding events.

Shitting on Kenzel because you hate Brian Kelly is shitty behavior. You're an embarrassment to LSU fans and should be ashamed of yourself.

Even the announcers were clowning him after calling his dad “my boy” …. It was super cringey and is rightfully clowned.

Jesus Christ, over 90 seconds in, his slow arse draw is still on the intro, and then hits the ad read…. Over 2 mins to begin the freaking point is not how you actually get listeners. Boomers still stuck thinking YouTube is just the radio…

An easy solution would be to treat CFB like professional soccer. When a player signs, that team also ‘owns’ the transfer rights. If a guy enters the portal, they can still go wherever they want, but the school they transfer too must pay the pre set transfer fee [*based on the player’s premium] to the school he left.

This way smaller schools are incentivized to develop players for big ROIs on players, and mid to top level teams get funds to replace a player that leaves.

*Plus you’re. Putting a ‘luxury cap’ on the ‘rich’ teams and will slow them from gobbling up everyone good at once.

He’s always enjoyed the smell of his own farts. Now instead of taking 400 words to say something that he could’ve in 50, he takes 800 words. (Same applies to his excessively long ad reads, inserting mamaw and acting like quick trip gas stations are some
Pinnacle of cuisine)

People also like to forget that he had USC with a good enough record to play in the conference title game (they had the best record in the south divison of the pac 12) but they were ineligible due to the Reggie Bush stuff. He was coaching/recruiting while having to get players who knew they couldnt play for anything past the regular season.

I’m glad someone else is bringing this up. Lane was a coach on either 4 or 5 National Championship winning teams, had USC in the Pac12 title game (if they would’ve been eligible) and Lane has the highest winning % of any coach in FAU history.

Lane’s FAU tenure: 11-3, 5-7, 11-3 w/ 2 CCs, & the 5-7 year they had 3 losses by less than 3 points.

FAU’s records bf Lane: 3-9, 3-9, 3-9, 6-6, 3-9, 1-11

My sauces say the “Laniac” meal is already being added to the menu

Yeah sorry, but Delly’s Tweet about lsu execs sending 2 planes for Lane tomorrow was about 4 mins bf you started this thread.

Your ‘friend’s sauces is that tweet.

Idk what’s the cringiest part of all this, calling his dad “my boy”, the undershirt, or the “long live/Free BK” part? Smh.

This isn’t even some dumb 18 year old kid, he’s gotta be 23/24 I believe?

I wonder how awkward he made everything in the locker room? Did he still practice with the team after the A&M game, attend meetings, etc…? Surely the players just tolerated the nepo-walk on?

Their interfaces and promos are much better

Generally yes, but espn bet had recently been sending me pretty good promos after not using it for a month or two, make a bet, cash out, and forget about it for another month or so, rinse, repeat.

I guess the ScoreBet will drop some
Good promos once they launch the rebrand.
