Recruiting Football Talk VII

[drvenner]

I realize I'm being a bit of a 'Grammar Police' here but is there anyway to stop misusing the word Seen? And yes, I make all kinds of Grammar Mistakes.

"I seen what you did there"

You done done it now.

Calculus has its limits.

Eh. This joke is rather derivative

Ohtani is thinking thank goodness I don't have any friends that bet. Just an employee that had enough access to alter my bank accounts.

Not defending him but there’s no way he’s the only athlete/coach/ref doing this. He’s just the one who got caught.

 

[Devo182]

I’m not following here what does NIL/transfer portal to the benefit of the players have to do with coach contracts?

It's a simile.

Or not. I was never seen as a great grammaritician.


The point is do you think sport leagues/and fans would prefer a sense of YoY commonality within their teams or a situation where each team is new every year?

Jmo but in the latter situatuon very few people would ever want to simply buy a jersey. Few players would talk about "their team" or school or city. Nobody would hang jerseys from rafters or build statues. And for what?

Love it or hate it, sports come back to community and togetherness. Once you go full-on mercenary for coaches and players, then that sport becomes unlike any other sport. Not sure how it would pan out tbh.

Again, this is all hypothetical and a thought experiment. Does a sports league and its fans want to see some semblance of a persistent "team" over time or just any ole HC from year to year and rotating guys every season?

Leb Nin and you know it.

I think I was always more of Leb Nun in my pronunciation.

Anyone else sound this out as “done donet it”?

He's thinking thank goodness that guy is taking the fall for me

It’s a kids game let’s put it into perspective, life goes on

$600 is the IRS reporting min for contact work. Would be good if schools can educate, for sure. Curious how the facilitating will occur.

Note the SAs will not be required to retain counsel from the unis. If they do accept it, they must report all deals over $600 to the school within 30 days...

So what's this all about at the end of the day for the lawmakers at hand?

Whataboutism and all, it's all relative.

Tomorrow the NCAA could say "only teams beginning with the letter "A" are allowed to win championships"...

And life would go on.


Maybe I jumped into the middle of a life or death discussion and missed it, but I was just talking about something other than life ending material: how sports leagues tend to decide how to operate and why.

That was brilliant. Cleverness is integral to humor.

 

[jave36]

I can do calculus but not commas. I didn't make the rules.

I'm the exact opposite. I can dive into the finer points of grammar, but anything beyond basic calculus is over my head.

 

[Orange.]

Eh. This joke is rather derivative

A function of the subject matter.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I really wanna go to the LV forum and post in the "Rickea Jackson Drafted #4" thread:

"Would've been #1 if Kim Caldwell coached her. . . "

Funny but I think increasing numbers of folks are getting chill. So maybe no grenades?

DorkPhoenix seems to still be having a hard time with the hire,

Idjit or troll: difficult to tell the difference. Never been sure there is a functional difference.

I actually had a little piece of artwork to go with an inflammatory remark. But I'm backing off. Hoping we're witnessing the turn. A lot of momentum for the LVs developing right now.

 

[LaagerVol]

Nah - just Coach Kim C - when you say “pretty Holly” or “pretty Kellie”, it’s implied that she coaches the same way as the person named following “pretty”…

I’m dumbfounded that more people don’t understand this concept

JohnnyPayne is still on the struggle bus too. Earl hasn’t posted much recently in the LV forum, but he’s been over on the GQ making himself look silly.

Find the scumbag that stole this 8 year old’s baseball - and have him drawn and quartered.

Shoutout to the Orioles for making this right for opposing fans. And shoutout to Byron Buxton too.

Buxton, O's, Twins give fan 'best day ever' after signed ball was snatched

BALTIMORE -- When 8-year-old Camden Cleveland plays baseball, he wears uniform No. 25 on his back in honor of his favorite player, Byron Buxton \-\- so Tuesday was a surreal day when he got the opportunity to have Buxton sign a baseball for him. But surreal turned to devastating when,

Go after him Heupel

Doubt we add anyone from the portal without somebody leaving. If LWSVOL's calculations are correct and we are currently at 83 scholarships, I think we roll with the team we have.

Just hope everyone gets healthy.

I agree. But I will say if there is a solid LB and IOL available I can see them at least entertaining it though. Definitely wouldn't hurt. I've heard AP state recently that staff could possibly get 1 or 2 just depends on the situation

Ryan Day looks like an evil supervillain.

Too sawft to pull that off
