  1. They say $8M for a HS athlete is crazy because they're comparing it to pro sports where salary caps are the only reason guys haven't already been getting $100+M/yr deals (being very conservative). Imagine Mahomes's recent free agency without a salary cap.
  2. Beer has a much better price:performance ratio.
  3. At Florida, sure, but not anywhere else. Ohio State just kept rolling rolling rolling.
  4. I feel zero shame about being excited about the possibility of him coming to Texas. None. He would've won a lot of games. I don't care if he cheats on his wife; not in the slightest. I'd prefer a nicer guy, but I wouldn't really care that much if we were winning a lot. No shame at all.
  5. Of course they are paid to play. They always have been. A strong majority of CFB players would not be attending those universities otherwise. I'm not a "scholarships are enough!" guy, but that ain't nothing. Universities give academically-unworthy (in terms of general admissions) people food, lodging, an extremely valuable education, and unbeatable personal marketing opportunities. And world-class facilities. And free clothes. And on and on and on and on.... All BEFORE bags/NIL.
  6. And until that "entitlement" manifests on the field in some way... don't care. I guess an argument could be made that this will "ruin" HS football due to players sitting out to protect NIL deals, but that's a separate question. We have amazing CFB players only putting in two years on the field before going to the NFL. RUINED!!!!
  7. Not sure what it changes for those who just watch the games and don't really keep up with gossip/drama. CFB has never been a sport where the little guy has a decent chance at elite recruits or trophies. BYU in 1984 and I guess Clemson's resurgence. The influence of money has always been a major determinant.
  8. Still committed. I knew it. Like Roman concrete; gets stronger with age.
  9. This conference we're joining... good god. Will be endless entertainment.
  10. Not so fast, bud, I haven't seen the feet pics yet.
  11. first step is away from talking all the time to Iraq War supporters
  12. I haven't been genuinely interested in this shit since Super Tuesday and my participation after that was mainly inertia. That's when hope died and we have the predictable results Wake me up when Marjorie Taylor Greene is about to become president because the stupid fucking Democrats think a Harris/Buttigieg ticket is just what the nation needs
  13. It's all lumps right now. Lumps all the way down. I'd rather it be with a young team because at least I can have hope.
  14. I'm on a raft with few companions, but I'll pack Steve's office tonight myself.
  15. Just imagine what kind of recruiting classes Deion would put together at a place like Texas. Oh my god.
