No hate for the Ragin Cajuns but I’m rooting for the Thundering Herd. Would love to see Napier get destroyed and have Florida fans worried.

And here I was naively pulling for the dudes from Lafayette on account of better food. Thanks for perfecting my gator hater game. I just changed sides.

Ever since the movie came out about their plane crash when their program lost everything, ive had a soft spot for Marshall. I hope they send the ragin cajuns back to Louisiana ragin.
I will say though, i met their football team twice when they were headed to Boone to play App St and they were all polite and respectful guys.

That's all I know about Marshall too...that and my friend went to school there back in the day. Her only story from all of college is the time she got on the elevator...looked over...and there was Randy Moss. This would've been about a decade after he graduated from there, but he was there for a gameday.

You act like ANY of this was up to the players. This is being decided by the United States courts, not the schools, NCAA, or players.

All they did was grow up in this era. It's not on the players what the rules are, have been, or will be.

If you dislike how America works, Delta is ready when you are.

Draft...salary caps...those are in no way necessities of being employees. Just things you tend to see in pro athlete/union universes. MLB doesn't have a salary cap. CFB could decide to just keep recruiting ad normal. Or treat them like coaches. CFB coaches seem to be loving the model of being enployees. They get paid as much as the market will possibly bear and come and go as they please. All depends on how the contracts are written ultimately.

There's no set definition of how any of it must work. It just comes down to owner vs player intetests. And in this case you'd be talking universities, many of them public institutions. It would be interesting, that's for sure.

The players could only stand to gain. Get scholarship + free market money (NiL, side jobs, etc) + regular paycheck. It would bring some equity, at least. It's currently about 10% as equitable as the NFL - the closest thing to a free market there is...and that's with a salary cap.

If it's a pro league then I want a draft and a salary cap. I am sick of watching Globetrotter exhibition bull****.

I watch because I'm a fan, and the games are entertaining.

Not sure why you're so upset that you feel the need to get insulting. But I'll refrain from doing the same.

I love Tennessee football as much as anyone else here, but I can recognize why guys looking toward an NFL future would skip a bowl game that has no title implications, no conference implications, no real meaning other than to entertain the fans. The only meaning I can assign to a bowl game with no title implications is ending the season/beginning the next season on a positive note.

This whole pile of 💩 is pissing me off. What you are saying is every fraking team should just shut down after losing two games...the games don't mean anything anyway if you are not playing for a championship..according to you.

That Gore v Williams match was incredibly entertaining. Not particularly sound boxing, but the guys were throwing some damn punches (when not pushing/ throwing the other out of the ring)

The pushes were dang hilarious 😅

Deron had the right reaction, "I'm gonna go sit my old *** down and let the pros do their thing". Boxing requires absolutely insane conditioning. I remember doing it as a kid for 2 rds and seeing stars. And I had a dang 6 pack and worked out 5 days a week. It's just nuts...nothing like basketball.

Hulu interface is so bad. I'm already getting angry with it, and I'm on my first day. Why can't Yttv offer all Disney stuff a LA carte for whatever price Disney was charging? They dropped the fee to $45, so I'd pay 20 for Disney content.

I am so use to be able to record and go through commercials with DISH which I know isn't the best but not happy with Hulu and its set up. And can't go through commercials anymore and it drives me nuts. lol That's the reason I record about everything shows, sports and stuff and fly through the commercials. lol

Anyone know or have a theory as to why the best FCS programs are way out in the Dakotas and Montana?
Click to expand...
Partly it’s because there’s nothing else out there (I lived in Montana for 10 years) so there’s massive support (relative to population lol) for those programs. Also, there’s less choice for schools vs Eastern locations so they hit on their “diamonds in the rough” more often due to greater concentration of where the kids go to school.
