  1. SHouldn't take more than a coupla years until NC2A rules allow school's employees to participate on athletic teams. Prolly gonna hafta be full-time, although they might be able to have private employment as well. NC2A could say NO to this, but B1G and SEC are fairly well set up to defect if it fails. When players no longer have to "graduate" and leave, recruiting ceases to be a major issue. Be fun to watch governments trying to cap salaries in some legalistic fashion.
  2. He needs to chill, and write the reports for each period now. Cron them for issue on his personal system. Never forget: A thousand good boy atta-boys can be wiped out by a single awww shit.
  3. It worked for Tannehill.
  4. Say something - other than complaininfg nobuddy say nothing.
  5. Clothing-optional beaches FTMFW. There are few things that feel better than swimming nekkid.
  6. It's close. All it needs is to require the networks to air XII and ACC games instead of SEC and B1G. Well... that, plus require advertisers to pay the same rates for the XII and ACC games. It's a win-win-win-win for errybody.
  7. Too many Jacksonvilles.
  8. Second (or third, et cetera) the last few. Disappointed no new random tires this time.
  9. Lost me at "unlubed".
  10. Not absolutely true. Numerous factors, including ledge width and declination, surface friction, wind-speed and direction, personal balance issues, and vertical distance from (and material of) ground level - all of these and many more - contribute to "wrongness" of ledge interactions.
  11. We just need to have all HS students who intend to participate in Intercollegiate Sports take an AAT - Athletic Aptitude Test. Besides collecting physical and mental test results, AAT would also assign minimum and maximum dollar value to each student-athlete, and schools would not be allowed to pay more than maximum nor less than minimum. Test scores and valuations would be publicly available. To maintain scholastic standards, schools would be required to deduct all of its normal student tuition and all other fees from the amounts paid to each student-athlete. No more "scholarships" for athletes, just real educational benefits like every other student. This might affect expensive schools negatively, but that only serves to level the playing fields. Straight NIL would probably belong to the employer, the school, but not necessarily exclusively - actual name/image/likeness payments could be split between school and athlete, and non-NIL employment (ditch-digging, vinyl siding sales, etc) would be none of the school's business other than any restrictions on all students in general. And, best of all, Deloitte could be entrusted with the AAT.
  12. That's just not true. He absolutely did not forget to go. He just couldn't remember the ZIP code.
  13. Your keyword is "RUFF!" Please indulge responsibly.
  14. New coaches, new QB, first game... all of that. Like many Surlys, I expect tOSU to be at least a bit discombobulated, and I expect that will be enough for us to take them. I also expect them to join UGa in being a team we play twice this season. Gonna be a helluva ride, that's a fact.
  15. With all due respect for our HC - and he deserves plenty of it - I join you in admitting that in those circumstances I also was thinking - hell, shouting - "First and goal, Sark! First and goal means First and Manning..." I don't believe there would have been any controversy about using Arch to add " or Keep " to the "RPO" call and taking away one or even two defenders from that short-yardage D. Well... not if it worked the way it worked when he actually did it. I guess we'll see. Can't wait.
