OCEAN ISLE BEACH, N.C. (AP) - Alligators in one North Carolina swamp have once again allowed themselves to freeze in place with their noses above the ice.

The Charlotte Observer reports The Swamp Park manager George Howard says 18 American alligators froze Monday night and stayed frozen all day Tuesday. He says the alligators seem to sense when the water is at its freezing point and poke their noses into the air "at just the right moment."

Howard has said frozen alligators enter a state of "brumation," which is similar to hibernation.

Alligators in the 65-acre park and sanctuary in Ocean Isle Beach weathered freezing temperatures for the first time this way last January. He says those alligators thawed out days later with no apparent injuries.

He's now been released from his NLI, so I don't know why he wouldn't be able to sign another NLI.

You can’t sign two in the same academic year even if you are released but I’m sure he will find a way

What's sad is it's only going to get worse for SC from here.

I wouldn't be surprised if they lost one or two other 2019 kids. You know Oregon is going to have their hands all over the ensuing fallout.

Shit... I wouldn't be surprised if JT is mulling things over right about now.

Personally don't care about the final recruiting class ranking.  I do care that he is given a release (if possible) so he can play next year.

This all day long. He needs 2 years playing with Sam.

No. NLI policy states a prospective student-athlete is only permitted to sign one valid NLI in an academic year. Therefore, if you sign an NLI during the early period and get a complete release by the institution or one of the NLI committees before the spring signing period ends, you are not permitted to sign a second NLI in the spring. You must wait until the next academic year to sign another NLI if you have not enrolled already at a four-year institution..

Haha, some of those fucks really think the Selvin Young TD in the first half decided the game. Everyone knows that if Vince was called down he wouldn’t waltzed in the end zone the next play.

Maybe (but probably not) this will finally put an end to all the "dude give it a rest, he's not coming here" stuff I see on here all the time.  College football is weird as shit, even when a guy signs his LOI, it still ain't over.
