Ohio State got so lucky.

This is like dodging a bullet from a shot that you fired on yourself.

The NCAA is pissed because Heup has done such a great job of steering through the wreckage that they wanted to last a decade or more. That great scene when we beat Saban in Neyland and the fireworks I suppose nearly gave the NCAA a stroke.

The SEC had to intervene this year with completely corrupt officiating all season long to try to hold us down until the NCAA could spring it's crooked new attack.

People forget that Heup already won't get his first full recruiting class until 2028, even without this crooked new attack from the NCAA. But Nico sure looked good in that bowl game, didn't he?! Must have nearly given the 'AA a stroke to see us win like that.

Yes! They planned to ruin us as an example of the power they still had (although they only had what we gave them). They gave more punishment than we were led to believe we would get. Then we did the unthinkable and exceeded all expectations after the mass exodus, the bad publicity and punishments. Then we throw it in their face that we were willing to outbid the great Saban for the QB he wanted. We did this publicly by leak… that’s their tactic. So they unwisely chose to go after us AGAIN for doing what everyone is doing! They actually thought it would be enough to ruin us while they reorganize. And hoped it would bring fear to others.

I agree.

We expect the mens' programs to compete for NCs. Yet, the LV holdovers/cronies do not expect them to compete for NC's after having the GOAT women's HC deliver 8 of them? All of it happening with the tradition, fan support, money, and facilities to deliver it. That is unacceptable. It all works to the common good by at least attempting to be the best. Look at LV softball. Look at who attends LV softball games. It can be that way again with basketball.

Make the change and tell the old cronies to get on board or go away. It is obvious that a new fan and donor base needs to be developed and engaged. Time to turn the page.

Imo same thing is happening with the LVs that happened to the football program. As long as the administration is ok with accepting mediocrity, the program will be mediocre, to the point the LVs are no longer relevant in the public eye (recruits). It’s already been allowed to go on way too long. Holly got way more time than she should have, and now pretty Holly is too. I don’t know why the administration can’t see that it’s harder to dig yourself out of that hole once the shine of the program fades. I wasn’t surprised the previous ADs and administration let it linger, I am surprised DW has.

Nerve endings are dulled or severely desensitized.

Great! So they don’t feel it until later that it was even done. Scary

Miami billionaire - and Hurricanes fan - John Ruiz was not happy with Nick.

“Shocked, shocked that somebody in the business for such a long time and on top of his game was totally clueless of what all of this means,” Ruiz told “The Miami Herald.” “He basically said, ‘I’m losing my market dominance because of everything that is going on and then starts… throwing everyone under the bus.”

Ruiz was just getting started.

“This was a very, very poor display of judgment and character,” Ruiz said. “It felt like a little teenager whining about why previously they had free reign and all of a sudden when you level the playing field. It was very ugly of him.

“It’s totally inappropriate the way he conducted himself and handled everything. More egregious is the very statements he made contained multiple NCAA violations of how he is involved in the process of the collectives and speaking to the kids about it and getting the kids involved.

If that’s the case, expect the NCAA to hail Saban as the epitome of how individuals associated with a university should handle themselves. It’s BS.

How? Are they not going after other schools for being involved in the NIL process?

As someone who only follows the NBA in a cursory way... It really feels like NBA locker rooms are more dramatic than the "Real Housewives" set.

It's wild. Teenage girls look at NBA players and think they need to be a little more mature. You never see anything like this in the NFL or MLB.

The difference is right there in the middle of their stat pictures. One is from Bambalamba and one is not.

So the gist of this story is that Herbie tried to interfere with where a player was choosing to go to school? If this is true, Herbie needs to be fired immediately and UGA needs to be investigated for boosters improperly influencing a prospective student athlete.

W Tennessee this traffic.,, How do you do this @Glitch?

@nicksjuzunk If I refuse to go to the gym, does that count as resistance training?

 

[therickbol]

Its not hard to see how the maturity and competitiveness of Grant would not mix well with Kyrie and Luka.

 

[drvenner]

That's OK. BY will use it as fuel to get even better.



Also, double Gauldens to Bama.

Couple of cops got shot up here by where I live last night. Shooter still on foot in the area.

You live in Maryville?

Cant fault him for bailing on that sinking ship.

“Look at how many young coaches I’m developing so they can advance their careers by taking a lateral position, in an inferior conference, and probably for less pay.”
