ricky queso

I think the best solution is to make the Thanksgiving weekend rivalry game - LSU vs. Texas. Can you imagine how great an atmosphere it would be at Death Valley filled with swamp people full of turkey - Fried and Wild. The two top schools in neighboring states... sounds like fun times. I'm sure aggy would vote for it, after encouragement...

now it's more than 24/7 - gotta make sure that's the only thing he ever fumbles around here!

well, not until you drink a bunch of them first.

Long as he doesn't go down to Georgia...

You deserve a break today!!

Doesn't feel like it's been March for a long, long time...

I'm going to have to object here, as I have Pacheco on my dynasty team, and Buffalo doesn't use their back well enough. Wherever Payton ends up would be a perfect spot. Bijan is a better Kamara (both on and off field...), and Payton is one of the few coaches who do more than merely talk about using their RBs creatively. How many times have you heard coaches say something about using their RBs like "Kamara", and then not doing it. Most seem to have the talking part down, every single week of "we're going to have to use XXX better" followed by another week of running highly skilled pass-catchers into the backs of their interior OL... please spare Bijan from one of those guys!!!

Now I don't read the man myself, but after lurking on this board for a good while, I feel comfortable guessing he's calling for a position change and projecting Mitchell as an all-conference linebacker.... in just under 4000 words. If I missed on this, I blame the surly folk who misled me...

That's a harrowing story, and I don't want to minimize it at all.... but - in reference to the bold part above, what is Teddy Lehman doing on this board???

I won't say those were crystal clear instructions... but I will say that if they were too hard to get, I don't want to be on a plane you're flying!

Also a reminder that using his considerable sleuthing skills, the racist ass has determined that it was a very long workout/practice session. Which should bear fruit next season!

That might be the draw for Bowen...

You sound like a 2%er..... or sane.

Backwards? So you don't come on a message board and talk about off-topic shit with a bunch of strangers because you need pussy? Me too...

neither did the Texans....

very strong in the name game... shoulda played with Waddle.

The first rule of the Portal Club is....

she's evidently a sunless devil.

The answer is:

"He deserved better than what Fran turned him into." an aggy?

I don't even know that it should be a lament... all NIL is doing is accelerating a change that would/should be happening anyway. The whole conference model is going to come to an end. Why should Vanderbilt compete as if on equal footing with Alabama? I believe we'll see the top 40-50 programs band together, because they'll be the ones actually making money at 'college' football. The rest will eventually settle into what college football was for most of its first hundred years - actual students/classmates who play for fun/glory. The money and the pressure will be way less, but alums will probably embrace it in the long run, just the way small schools always have. For that first tier, they won't be semi-pro leagues... they'll be full-blown pros. And there will inevitably come some regulation and control over the wild west of NIL. Cause in the end, they want to make money, not get into spending wars with each other. And it'll be fantastic as a fan. Until the NFL wars...

What would make aggy even more fun? How about an embittered $10mil ball boy wreaking havoc throughout the organization? While the $1mil head coach works wonders while wondering why he's only getting 10% tip money... Actually, sounds really good to me, I'm onboard with this plan!

why would that be appealing to me? Especially that part where I take it over 5 years or something... my something would be "right now". I can lean on my shovel and "think about digging" a whole hell of a lot longer than they can work around the hole they're paying for but not getting. Best I could offer is 50 mil now, and you increase it to 50-55 later. But not much later... Negotiations are tough when you have no leverage whatsoever other than "making it hard on you". And you can see what whip-smart negotiators he's dealing with just by seeing what he got when he didn't have all the leverage!

to be fair... why would you only be joking?
