Vets are like everyone else. They will take a check if it’s offered. There is an entire non profit industry dedicated to helping vets get disability checks as they ETS.

Most of the time it’s 10-15 percent stuff. So just a few hundred a month.
Real estate agent for my first house. He went to LSU for a year on a football scholarship. He had a family run Remax agency in Huntsville and owned a crap load of rental properties. His wife was an agent but mostly ran the contractors who would fix up properties before selling them. I went to high school with his daughter.

He was easily a millionaire in his early 50s.

Cheers to all my brethren and countrymen

I legit don’t understand why athletic programs have anything to do with this stuff. If a player wants to make money off of their own image, go get an agent and do it. Why does the school have to be involved at all?
Bama was averaging over seven penalties a game before last night.

I think there’s a line between cheating refs and swallowing the whistle. We know the latter happens all the time in other sports and in some situations in football. In NCAA MBB it was the “Duke treatment”

Why are we so sure that something similar doesn’t exist in football?

I think Bama was a better team and LSU earned the penalties they were flagged for and had some unlucky close reviews.

It’s also easy to notice that Bama calls weren’t reviewed, an obvious late hit was ignored, even the announcer thought they were giving “disconcerting signals” and Bama had their least penalized game last night.
Damn. I had a lot of those.

I remember buying the Forrest Gump and both Dazed and Confused soundtracks because I loved the diversity of the music.

It’s a generational shibboleth just like 69 was for Gen X.

Food being meh and no parades are real struggles.

Just finished it. Agreed. What a disappointment.
