  1. It seems that way. For some reason, I have hope that they will hit most of their astronomical goals.
  2. Unrestricted transfers but choose between no scholarship or no participation (your first year only, in either case) in the new school unless you completed a degree at the old one (or met one of some set of other pre-established criteria). If someone really wants to transfer, fine-- he is free. If he really wants to play, fine-- he is free. If he wants to commit to one school to play based on getting a free ride and then get a free ride elsewhere, he will have to make an opportunity cost decision. Is it more important for him to get a free college education, to play football, to be where he now wants to be, to avoid the need to complete his degree? Rich kids would be less restricted by this plan but only to the degree that people who can afford college tuition are freer in where they attend in general. And the lawyers they get under the current system pretty much sets different rules for the rich guys anyway.
  3. Signing you wasn't the right thing to do. How can we outspend the SEC? If we could, we would give you the league. How can we, when you leave for LSU? You can "pay your own way." Pay your own way You can call it all just fair play You can "pay your own way" Pay your own way
  4. Yeah. Getting locked up might save his life or the life of someone into whose living room he might have otherwise crashed.
  5. Nice work. As you do more of these, please self-scout (or ask for input) regarding continued quality and originality. I only mention it because the great edit you did for Ringo was Joker-themed, too.
  6. It looked like he had a grade I AC separation and then another before he was over the first completely.
  7. Jimbo is not going to tear through a quality SEC, but as has been pointed out repeatedly, a strong SEC top-to-bottom is largely a myth. If Bama struggles with the transition from Saban to its next emperor, there could be a chaotic interregnum similar to 97 and 98. Back when OU, UGA, UF, Nebraska, LSU and Bama played a collective 1 CCG— and we all know *roll left* how that turned out for the Husker dynasty.
  8. I agree that he is no one to fear, but we have to accept that the data suggest that Jimbo is generally a successful coach. His national championship was in his fourth year— pretty much his guys in his system at that point. His win totals, all comers, are 10, 9, 12, 14, 13, 10, 10, 5, 9. His first season (10 wins) followed a 7 win campaign. His last one was at a new school so again he could be compared. He won the same number of games, but improved the mean scoring differential from 1.3 to 7.2, won his (lower tier) bowl in a blowout, and improved the final ranking from NR to 16. He followed that up with aggy’s statistically best recruiting the era of online rankings, grabbing Leal and Wright along the way. Looking at all of that data, the 5-win season looks like a bit of an outlier. Tucked against a 13 and a 12, the 14 looks less like one. For a number of reasons, I think we under Herman will fare much better than aggy under Jimbo. I don’t happen to believe, however, that one of those reasons is, “Jimbo hasn’t accomplished squat without Jameis.” Given that FSU continued to get worse after he left, I think a reasonable summary is that he has the ability to succeed, but that catastrophic program rot after circa 5 years is not unforeseeable.
  9. If it was before a game I would have said steroids. After the season I think something more experimental like PRP or stem cells is a significant possibility.
  10. He’s no Saban, but he averaged 11 wins in his 7 complete FSU seasons before cratering in 2017.
  11. Dude, boss, your pasty white skin is showing over your inappropriately light socks.
  12. From the FDA website: Safety comes up at multiple levels of testing, but is a big deal at phase 3. Phase 4 is the final confirming dose/safety phase. Phase 3 looks in particular for rarer or late-developing adverse effects.
  13. I’m not sure if he was a long-game troll, his pw was compromised, or he has a substance abuse problem.
  14. You may be in a world of hurt if that guy exists. If not, from the firm.
  15. I think it is some football-scholarship-offer-themed invitation to something, probably Valentine-related, from his gf.
  16. Phase 3 is the late stage of testing to get FDA approval. It is where the appropriate dose is determined and safety is assessed. If there is not a dose found to be reliably both safe and efficacious, the drug is not approved. They do this by actually it to people.
  17. I am wrong that it is a synthetic drug, that it is illegal, or in my conclusion that therefore it is obtained only from sources that traffic in illegal drugs? I am guessing number three. Has it been documented to be present in legitimately produced and marketed supplements? I’d be surprised but am willing to look at the evidence.
  18. Not big enough into pimp canes, sheep, j jars, or milkmen. Not a culture fit.
  19. Clemson defensive game plan v aggy: 1. cover Ausbon 2. don't lose containment 3. don't get flagged more than twice for roughing the passer, targeting, or voluntary manslaughter 4. profit
  20. Not the pic I thought would surface in a den of scum and villainy like this.
  21. For not being a Shagster, you got to the new Surl pretty early in the game.
  22. And bro is at Texas.
  23. By April, aggy will have paid him more than $1 million per win. The good news for the gomers is that current projections show him briefly getting back below that mark during the 2019 season. With good years in 2020 and 2021, he has a chance to get and stay in the "bargain zone."
  24. Oh sure, anything is possible, and they have 6 wins pretty much in the bag. I think the o/u on losses in the regular season probably belongs at 4. Were I a betting man, I would not be tempted put much money either way.
