  1. Nobody is saying NFL players don't deserve sympathy when their playing days are over and some have various issues from their playing days, but like any other career..they enter it by choice and know the risks very well after playing high level college football. Beyond the money they make in the league, even a very short career can be a springboard to lucrative sports media jobs. (look at the Acho brothers, neither were really superstars in CFB or NFL) Just like any other profession, some will wisely take care of their money, some won't. Some will use their NFL player status to make more in "retirement" (even with very few years in the league in some cases) while some superstars with long careers accruing double digit millions will find themselves pretty much broke and destitute just a few short years after the money stops coming in. There are very good reasons why even college players that werent starters at any school they attended still try to at least become a UDFA, and those guys would love the chance to be "gladiators" even if that means being cast aside someday.
  2. Everyone here has PTSD from Gideons dropped easy pick likely costing us a shot at the NCG in 08, and the Dylan Haines human hurdle experience. Michael Taafe has proven he doesn't drop the easy picks and is somehow more physical than Haines. Taafe will most likely still be in the rotation, but safety will be fine if Mukuba is as advertised and some of our young studs make their expected leaps.
  3. I get what you're saying, but there is a reason landing on an NFL roster and playing as long as possible is the goal for many CFB players. What other job can get you over $700k (rookie minimum) to double digit millions (QB's like Mahomes) even if they don't finish their degree? Depending on what position they play, even 4-5 years can set up a player with a good financial base, and retiring at such a young age means they have plenty of time to start their own business, invest or even the luxury of doing a job that doesn't pay what the NFL did but they've always wanted to do..such as coach in HS, CFB or become a trainer for young athletes. Obviously for guys like Vontae Davis none of that matters, but too often mental issues for men idek left untreated, and thats sad.
  4. Wow, that's not good. Seems he did have an untreated condition.
  5. Any cause of death given? 35 year olds don't drop unless they're full of bullet holes, drugs or some sort of untreated medical condition.
  6. I admit to being a little uninformed, but can you check your notes again and give specifics for this next Colt comparison? I honestly don't know if Colt was Mack's last great QB eval or he simply won the lottery twice in the span of 4 years.
  7. The dude who put the shot cup on his head then turned to his band mates and shook his head represents all of non-aggy America.
  8. I like it. Seems to retain most of the historic feel. It's just a renovation, they aren't tearing down the Cotton Bowl and starting from scratch.
  9. Has he upped the quality of his regular smoked sausage? Granted it's been a few years, but I remember it not exactly being top quality, little greasy and bland. His hot links are pretty tasty though. No disrespect to one of the goat's of football, just friendly, constructive criticism.
  10. Orange isn't a slimming color
  11. Off-season (as in non-football, yet no reports of a bike/motorcycle/car accident) injury 3 months ago still keeping him off the football field? Must be helping Dad pack up the Bibles and other religious literature. Wonder if aggy simply burns down the church when they're gone?
  12. We're going to lose one or more receivers, it would take a helluva recruitment job to keep that room intact for '24 season. Running back room is going to be hard to keep as well.
  13. Writing off anyone after less than a handful of spring practices is pretty dumb imo. We'll get a better idea of what's really going on after the spring game, but even that will give us limited info.
  14. I can see a hungover aggy typing in their own address to satellite controls just for laughs, and then spilling their coffee on the arm/launch controls.
  15. Don't worry, aggy is involved in the space program now, I'm sure eventually they'll do it to themselves.
  16. A shot bar? That's only if you're celebrating something..birthday, big business deal etc, but even then there are better places than a shithole that attracts frat boys that just got their first legit ID showing 21...and a few with ID's less than legit.
  17. If he wants to socialize then send the kids to Grandma's house and invite some people to the casa to hang out and drink. I get that someone like Vince gets a dopamine hit by walking around in public and being recognized. He can still do that, just keep the drinking part confined to his own property. When the evening is done, kick everyone out and stumble to the bedroom. Win for all.
  18. Yeah, in Europe you'll see Yankees swag for sure, and Chicago Cubs..especially in Paris for whatever reason. aggy gear in Europe will be 99.9% aggy tourists for sure. The .1% are international aggy students who went to fish camp.
  19. That's just the sort of idiocy I expect from aggy. Very on brand.
  20. The worst is when they do it in Europe. And no, they aren't random young Europeans who like the colors and logo. I do see a lot of young Europeans wearing Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Columbia etc...and then when it comes to non-ivies you get ND and I've even seen a few Longhorn hoodies and tshirts on what I don't think were American tourists.
  21. I'm not plugged into the coaching staff or anything, but it seems to me pushing for Lacey was originally meant to be a two for one thing...get a pretty good QB along with one of the best WR prospects in the nation, and possibly start a little momentum in grabbing a few Alabama prospects in the future. As it is now, not sure getting Lacey by himself is enough..and certainly hasn't done us any favors with Ryan Williams.
  22. Curious about what they're going to consider "premium seating", but more pissers will be welcome for sure.
  23. The delusional corn fanbase won't tolerate too many recruiting classes filled with diamonds in the rough.
  24. Needs more maroon on the cars
