  1. Yes, exactly the point I was trying to make. And it's not just the paying of players then versus now, under the table or above board. The stakes are SO high and the results are almost totally dependent on recruiting that it just seems like a desperation game and just a dirty business altogether trying to convince these high school athletes that they should go to U of X. Negative recruiting has always happened, probably, but it just seems worse today. Now we have "handlers" and the whole "I'm taking my talents to..." thing; I just absolutely hate that. Maybe all of it has always been there. Either I just didn't know about it before or it's being spotlighted and exploited as content like never before. Regardless, it takes away from CFB for me and is slowly driving me away.
  2. Interesting thread, even though OP is disqualified from having a valid opinion on anything, in my book, due to his taste in women. I'll chime in with a couple of thoughts: 1. No one knows what's going to happen. The transfer portal and NIL might drastically change everything. It might create greater parity...or it might not. It might cause some teams to rise and others to fall...or it might not. It's going to take at least a couple more years to truly see the effects. 2. I agree that CFB has been more formulaic over the last few years. A bunch of stuff happens during the regular season and then the same four schools are in the playoff at the end. I have been genuinely surprised by this. I sure would have thought that we would have seen more different teams in the playoff than we have. But, it's pretty simple - if there are only four slots every year and the same four teams keep getting in, then that is going to affect recruiting, which perpetuates the concentration of talent in those four playoff schools. Recruits generally want to go where they can win and get the most exposure and accolades. The four playoff teams offer the most of those things. Like others have said, my interest in CFB has waned significantly. These days, I'm lucky if I get to catch the Texas game each week. It's rare that I watch any other games, certainly not a whole game involving teams other than Texas. But, that could be due to aging and caring about other things more, more responsibilities (kids), etc. than anything to do with CFB. I feel like even if I had the time and no other constraints that I still wouldn't consume as much CFB as I used to because it just feels "different." Also as others have said - and this is probably extremely naive on my part - it just seems like CFB had more integrity across the board than it does today. Guys not playing in bowl games to get ready for the NFL? Guys changing teams through the transfer portal like they change underwear? Coaches bailing on their teams before they play their last game of the season? Huge money everywhere? Recruiting dirtier than ever? I don't know, maybe it's because I'm an old now and "get off my lawn" or whatever. But I know for sure that a lot of that stuff didn't used to happen.

  4. Would download.
  5. It's piss.
  6. Does anyone of consequence (recruits, players, coaches, administrators) give an actual fuck what any of the paysites say? I would be very surprised (and disappointed) if they did.
  7. Kylo?! JFC.
  8. Jesus. I'd hate myself for a year if I ate that.
  9. Curious - has anyone heard of anything like this at other any other school?
  10. Lawyer here and deal with collecting judgments regularly. The only way this judgment would attach to the property would be if the judgment holder abstracted it in the county where the property is located. It doesn't happen automatically. Unclear if the title company found the abstract or just the judgment by searching the seller's name. If it's abstracted then it has to be cleared to close one way or the other. Abstracts are only good for ten years then they have to be renewed or they expire. So you just need to see what is actually there - abstract? How old? If it's not abstracted or if the abstract is expired then the title company should move forward.
  11. I don't know if I can like a guy with that bad of a haircut, but I'm willing to try.
  12. Wow. Brass ones on that dude.
  13. Same.
  14. This is the correct answer. This is absolutely 100% what we should do. It's too simple and obvious.
  15. What's going on here is that AB and his wife went to Vermont to get away from this exact thing. They were found by the papparazzi. They understand this is part of the gig, but they are still pissed off about it. The kids are crying in the car because they were being chased by the papparazzi. The goal of AB and his wife was to get the papparazzi to stop following them. AB knew that the only way to do it was to answer their questions and give them what they wanted (or as much as he could without jeopardizing himself). His wife was letting her anger interfere with dealing effectively with the papparazzi in the only way possible - to give them what they wanted. Again, all with the goal to calm their children.
  16. Makes me weep for humanity watching Black Friday videos of idiots busting down doors and trampling people. This. I'd rather take an ass whippin' than go on a cruise. Some have told me that the smaller lines are actually cool. I don't think I will find out. I like to do my own thing.
  17. Fair enough. It's been eleven years since that championship game. We had a year where we didn't suck. Still ten years, not contiguous.
  18. One decade. We played for the NC in 2010. That was the last time we didn't suck.
  19. Mets, Rangers, Angels haz the dumb.
  20. Because you've seen Kentucky Fried Movie?
