I don't think I have perfected it, but it has been working for me: Keep in mind, I am usually starting dynasties with 3* or worse teams, so not much experience with recruiting with more dominant teams. Let's say I have 8-10 guys who have me as their NO. 1 team. If I have 450 recruiting points total, I will only add the amount of guys which allows me to spend 50 points on them week one. (This is after I've already offered them scholarship 5 points when I am setting up my board.) In this scenario, maybe I have left off 4 guys who have me as their top school. To me, that is ok. If they are not on my list and with no scholarship offer, they USUALLY still keep me as their no. 1. I have no science to prove this, but adding a recruit to your list makes them wanted more by other schools. Moving on: those initial recruits that I have added and spent 50 points on, they USUALLY sign with me. Maybe 1-2 don't, it really depends on their rating. 1-2 stars are obviously easier to get than 3-5 stars. Once more points become available, I will spend those on the other recruits who still have me listed as their top school. You'd be surprised at how quickly your class can fill up just by doing this. Also, some guys will add you later in the season and make you their top school. When you are late in the season, be sure to see which recruits are still available. The ones who have not signed are way more likely to sign with you, especially when you throw 50 points their way in week 11. Again, not always a sure thing, but it does work. If you are a crappy school, sign whoever you can. Doesn't matter if they are a bust or not IMO. You just need bodies. A "bust" 4* at Akron/Buffalo/etc etc is better than a 1 or 2-star IMO. These "busts" are usually the guys who are available later in the season. Especially the higher-rated ones. The postseason portal is kind of the same thing: Find recruits you want/need and give them 50 (or whatever max points you can give them) points as soon as you can. Those initial recruits are likely to sign with you. Again, I don't think this is a fool-proof plan, but it has worked for me.

Well Written Content OU Football 2025 - League Average & Loving It

I may be misremembering, but I also think it was a 2 for 1. I actually really like the strategy of scheduling 2 for 1s with programs located in fun destinations. Tulane, UCF (probably wouldn't do a 2 for 1 and I know people loathe Orlando, but those of us with kids could make it work), SDSU, UNLV, probably some others. The indefensible part is Philadelphia. Of every big city I've been to in the US, which is most of them, Philly is far and away the place I least enjoy visiting. Maybe that's because I was dealing with a couple of nasty people at Comcast as part of most trips, but, yeah, fuck that place. -

This isn’t transparent at all. Just keep releasing random shit until something catches fire. If the week ends with nothing on UAPs then that entire thing has been horseshit.

Is it really talking shit if you're just being honest? -
I mean, you right. He left the door open to say that when August 2025 comes and goes. "Oh, did you assume I meant this August? Well that's on you"

Why you went there instead of "starts a degrading OnlyFans page" baffles and disappoints me.

This is the CR thread, so consider where we are making drastic changes/cuts... FEMA: helps citizens survive disaster NOAA: helps citizens be prepared for disaster CDC: helps people survive diseases and pandemics FDA: ensures our food and drug supply are safe for human consumption USAID: helps impoverished/desperate people worldwide It seems like we are already acting on the conclusion that unbounded population growth is no way to run a sustainable planet. On the plus side, job market contractions from AI automation won't seem as bad when you also are contracting the pool of human workers needing jobs.

We can all laugh, but I have successfully argued my way out of three separate speeding tickets in my life without the help of a lawyer. One of them involved a Houston cop named Matt Davis. You can look up what that shitheeled ratfuck was doing and got busted for after me, and apparently numerous other people, complained about him and a news station did an investigative expose on him. Separately, this one dude wrote blatantly wrong details down on the ticket that I was able to dispute with, you know, objective facts that I printed out and showed to the judge after the guy tried to act like he was recounting things correctly (he was lying). The judge literally dismissed it while I was handing him shit. That little dude was talking shit to me under his breath as I walking out. Today, I am not disputing anything. Hoping the lawyer can get me deferred adjudication or something that keeps things out of the insurance rate math. -

Oh sure, piss on our hopes with those last two words. That is the Holy Grail of recovery for Astros fans in just one of the 17 lost souls on the IL.

It was King's. Last time I was there was probably 2 years ago. That's a shame.

Almost everyone has one leg longer than the other. If it causes problems, you just put a thicker insole in one of your shoes.
