  1. He spent one semester there. That upper level stuff quoted isn't introduced until grad school.
  2. Expanded playoff and we probably still get Bama/UGA. How many rematches would we have in an expanded playoffs? Do we have to watch UM/tOSU again? BU/OSU again? Bama and UGA are in that small group that simply has a much better roster than everyone else. I'm sure it's just nostalgia, but I was fine with the bowl system and the arguments about who would have won when the Orange Bowl and Rose Bowl winners split the NC. I was fine with the BCS because we still got competitive bowl games and a game between #1 and #2. Now, while we can still have some good non-playoff bowls (OSU/ND and BU/Miss), those games still don't always have the teams best players and most bowls are opt out filled meaningless games. You can argue most bowl games were meaningless before the playoff, but all the players played and "wanted to be there". Times change and I'll stop scowling at the clouds for now, miss what my recollection is of what college football used to be, and simply await for the years to add up until it's socially acceptable for me to yell at the clouds.
  3. On a crisp fall evening On a career bound for nowhere I met up with a Gambler We were both too drunk to sleep So we took turns a-stumblin' Out the bars into darkness The booze overtook us And he began to speak You got to know when to screen 'em, Know when to slant 'em, Know when to punt away, And know when to run. You never count your scores When you're drinkin’ on the sideline There'll be time enough for countin' When the drinkin’s done.
  4. She’s obviously an Arians operative. EXCLUSIVE: Fired Bucs star Antonio Brown smuggled OnlyFans model - who went viral for licking a toilet seat in 2020 - into his hotel for a steamy sex romp and told her to watch 'what I do tomorrow' - the night before he stormed off the field https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10367913/NFL-star-Antonio-Brown-snuck-woman-hotel-room-night-meltdown.html
  5. I know what Brandr is. I'm saying it's incredible simple to state "strategic leveraging of NIL opportunities" means approving such things for Caleb Williams and other players. How do you feel about: IMHO "strategic leveraging of NIL opportunities" is a very benign statement to try and assign a violation of any rule, including the highlighted portion in your post. There isn't an athletic department in the country that isn't presenting recruits with information about how they can maximize their earning potential at X University. I appreciate you taking the time and I won't derail any further.
  6. So, you don't think that statement can be something as simple as: "As we continue to evaluate opportunities in the new era of name/image/likeness for all of our student-athletes, working alongside our legal counsel, I am thrilled to announce a new agreement with Brandr for group licensing on Texas-branded and officially licensed merchandise bearing the NIL of Longhorns student-athletes," UT Vice President and Athletics Director Chris Del Conte said. "Now fans can purchase Texas Longhorns items like jerseys and t-shirts and support their favorite players, which we have never been able to do before, and the student-athletes are able to profit from those sales through their agreement with Brandr."
  7. I promise you spend infinitely more time on NIL dealings and the rules behind it than I do, and know infinitely more than I do. Can you explain to me what rule, law, or statute you think that statement indicates is being violated? I honestly do not know and am curious to learn.
  8. You seem to be reading a lot into "...and strategic leveraging of NIL opportunities." I doubt it'd be very hard to find a CDC (or any other AD) statement about how the University can provide tools for athletes to their NIL branding.
  9. I'm not sure I understand your point. How is Arians telling AB to go into the game preventing AB from trying to reach incentives? Is it your belief Arians and the Bucs would rather save $1M than have AB on the team when they're already down Godwin and Evans is banged up? Arians took the heat by ignoring his "one strike" mandate after AB's vaccine card fraud and you think now Arians is doing this to look good?
  10. Pretty and vindictive? You're going to make some dude very happy and very miserable.
  11. The director's cut is even better. Although the whole story kinda comes apart at the end there. Out of nowhere there's this lone dancer who appears to be injured. It's a disturbing image.
  12. And OU is apparently honoring retired coach Lon Kruger at the game tonight. Would seem odd to detract from that previously scheduled event by announcing a football coach. I'd say no one knows the status of a potential hire and doing the typical poo slinging in an attempt to be first to report a development. That said, I just can't see a scenario that both Rhule and Brady wanted to be in the NFL and would bail 1/2 a season in. Makes absolutely no sense and can't image it ever happening.
  13. I think my favorite part of LSU's game winning touchdown, is aggy has a corner who should be playing safety and a safety who should be down in box (or not on the field at all). And everyone but aggy knows it.
  14. From your prior post, Pelini was at OU for only the 2004 season. Mike returned after getting fired at Arizona because the defense was good with Mike and Brent, not so good with just Brent. When Brent left with hurt feelings, Mike's defenses weren't any good either. Brent somehow had great defenses without Mike. Brent wasn't doing anything different at Clemson than he did at OU. The difference makers at Clemson were better than at OU and the offenses in the ACC weren't as good at the Big 12. Pretty simple that the best coaches seem to have the best players.
  15. Did the neighbor's wife have to go to the hospital?
  16. I think he had just taken some chill pills.
  17. I'll finish what you started. Playoff penalties OU v. Clemson: OU 5/65 (0 holding) Clemson 5/40 OU v. UGA: OU 1/5 (0 holding) UGA 6/39 OU v. Bama: OU 7/55 (0 holding) Bama 9/86 OU v. LSU: OU 8/62 (3 holding) LSU 4/49
  18. Really, Shelley, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this...
  19. He doesn't look a thing like Jesus. But he talks like a gentleman.
  20. I wish I knew whether this goes on the stadium or just a cup or shirt. Wait, maybe a fake trophy for Jimbo that can be presented before the Bama game.
  21. "What? Who's angry? I'm not angry?"
