The money in the game is unreal. The most plodding, utility man is working on a multimillion-dollar contract, and the stars are potential billionaires. It's kind of hard for your average fan do you have a personal connection to the sport.

It's the unfair nature of it's system. If you are a small-mid market team, you can forget keeping your team intact for more than a couple of years. The constant turnover is wearisome.

Not conceding at all.....just being prudent. I would love to see Maurer at 100% go out there, BUT, when dealing with concussions, I say go conservative. ONce you have had a concussion, the likelyhood of another increase dramatically.

It comes down to how much better are your odds with one over the other. Give BAma all you have with JG and move on to USC at home with a healthy Maurer.

Just my thoughts......

I don't think he really had a concussion...

Wouldn't worry. People like CJP, JJ, and many others aren't thinking that way at all. Now, I see the BM thing more as extra neck/head risk precautions if he isn't safe to play. But if you're sitting him because it has anything to do with it being the Bama game, then I totally disagree. If he's 100% fine and he's our best chance to win, then you go go go.

I agree with this.....however, the kids health takes precedent. IF there is pause or concern for his health, sit him. I dont care if it’s vandy on Bama. All who know me knows I am all in for going after the ”W”. However, kids health comes first.

IF he (Mauerer) is clered to play and additional concussions are seemed to be minimal, let’s roll !!

Very cool. Wonder where that shot was of all the camping tents. Almost reminds me of Max Patch near Hot Springs.

MP is a bald, yes? Tree and mountain line evoke Smokies. Craggy rock, lichen etc. Smokies have highest exposure to acidity in SE US. (Wife and I drove up USFS road at dusk. chunk rock made me turn around).

Had it not snowed, i had planned to propose to my wife in HS. Was a raft guide there briefly, in 96. Always been a dream to own a home there. Love the 'old school' Asheville vibe.

Big Laurel Creek for redeye, smalls, and Brown. FB for LB, Tigers (Nc Has a stocking program, you should see or tie a Tiger fly), and Spots.

If your lucky enough, and stealthy enough you can snag a TN Redfish on ultra fine tippet. Pretty sure i've hooked one once on 8 wght rod. Fought him in 600 cfs current for about 5 minutes. could have been a big smallmouth.

And yes @bignewt & @nicksjuzunk i wore sandals.

It's comical. The hate for JG is blinding. Why can't fans just root for whoever the QB is? Or the LB or the DB or OL or...? Then, not only will they not root for him, they minimize any good he does and magnify the bad. And there was both. And they do the reverse for BM. I just don't understand it. It's crazy.

That’s where we don’t have the knowledge and the training staff will decide that based on how he tests. If he’s ready to go, I want him to play

18 absolutely needs to play. There is no better developmental time than planning in a game. Nothing to lose in this games and he needs to work thru a few issues. Playing is very much a good thing for him

It will give him a quick lesson on how much he has to grow for next season. I hate putting him out there in the sense that I don't want him hurt and out of play for the next games but I do agree that it's definitely a game he can learn from.

An effective end around the media’s righteous indignation towards this case. Allows him to use the dismissal as the punishment and Banks earning his way on the team as a rehabilitation factor.

Bama did something similar with Pettway a few years ago. He actually went to juco for a year though. Actually punched a kid and took his credit cards and money. They let him come back a year later.

Get ready, pictures of that clueless idiot (Butch), smoking a cigar after the game will be making its rounds on social media after the game (if they win). I’d like someone to shove that very lite cigar up something he keeps puckered up all time. 😖
