The Red Baron is killed


On April 21, 1918, with 80 victories under his belt, Baron Manfred von Richthofen led his squadron of triplanes deep into Allied territory in France on a search for British observation aircraft. The flight drew the attention of an Allied squadron led by Canadian Air Force pilot Captain Arthur Roy Brown. As Richthofen pursued a plane piloted by Brown’s compatriot, Wilfred R. May, the Red Baron ventured too far into enemy territory and too low to the ground. Two miles behind the Allied lines, just as Brown caught up with Richthofen and fired on him, the chase passed over an Australian machine-gun battery, whose riflemen opened fire. Richthofen was hit in the torso; though he managed to land his plane alongside the road from Corbie to Bray, near Sailley-le-Sac, he was dead by the time Australian troops reached him. Brown is often given credit for downing Richthofen from the air, though some claimed it was actually an Australian gunner on the ground who fired the fatal shot; debate continues to this day.

I'm seeing a lot of new names posting in that thread. I guess it's several FF regulars stinking up the RF.

A couple of years ago the mods started moving any and every post about recruiting in the FF to our forum. Complaints were ignored. With predictable results. I have pretty much given up on the player threads. And I used to read every thread.

Idk if it's Aguilar or how he'll do, but. . .

What a turn of events from his perspective. Transfer up to UCLA thinking you're gonna get to start at a big school, then they bring in someone to start over you. Looks like you're screwed then you end up at a much better program and bigger opportunity. Must be a pretty good feeling that it's the team that your replacement came from.

I hope he lights it up here if it is him.

This was the best breakdown of Nico the situation I have heard yet.

Some things they mention, I did not know:
-Tulane was never interested, only had a talk with him.
-Tulane could not talk to Nico without his dad on the line.
-Nico's dad tried reaching out to Boomer Sooner to combat the bad publicity.
-They were shopping him out in the fall and made unrealistic demands
-Nico's camp thinks he is the future number 1 draft pick

Pepper yourselves for we are about to get dunked on.

Not that it matters in the longrun, but the optics couldn't be more laughable.

Oh well if we grab depth, then it is what it is and a seasoned P5 starter maybe was too pie in the sky this late in the game. Gbo

Well I ended up in the ER after lathering myself in Habenero Pepper extract. The doctor said I looked like a real idiot and the optics were really bad and I should never take advice from @Devo182 again.

Wow. Level of idiocy and whining is once again off the charts. Pendleton and Moe were great pickups. DT is more a position where depth is needed. NOT somewhere you are likely to overpay. Nobody in the WR portal worth overpaying either. If we don't get everyone the message board gurus want, tough crap. You don't like Heupel's results, Dooley and Pruitt are available. Yall better calm down and straighten up before McGill gets here.

Shopping during the season? Good riddance.
