I remember Panchos. And driving past six flags. My older cousins took me and my sister. I don’t think I had ever had Mexican food at that point, much less a buffet lol. I was in awe of everything out there.

Panchos sopa pillias I can’t spell , made in the big pot were great even without honey. Raise the flag and get more. Loved that place just for THOSE

Just read this from Adam Sparks. Really good story explaining the revenue share situation.

House settlement approves revenue sharing. Here's how Tennessee will pay players

University of Tennessee athletes will be paid revenue directly by the school, in addition to third-party NIL income. Here's how the new system works.

Happy Saturday

June 7, 2025: This is a time to deal with issues that need to be resolved. You will be able to find ways to put in order that which has been out of order or in need of correction. You will have a tendency to project out and try to anticipate the outcome, but it would be good for you to settle down and trust God for the results. The Lord will not let you down. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

With this extra money these Universities will be handed each year look for schools like Villanova, Connecticut and Gonzaga to be top notch in College Basketball every season. Those schools will pump almost all funds into that one sport.

I’m afraid this ruling will be challenged before the end of the year. All it takes is a USCe women’s basketball team to say we’re not being paid as much as the men and lawsuit

If I'm not mistaken his dad ran for governor as a Democrat, so maybe a dem.

A child following what their parents believed?

Now that's a contrarian.

Don't know much about her. What makes her so obnoxious to you?

She's the ultimate nouveau riche. Demanding tables at restaurants without a reservation because "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" That kind of stuff. Just like Mahomes brother.

NIL will now have to pass through a vetting process. I’m sure that will be fair. No shenanigans there at all.

Don’t see this “solution” lasting long

 

[UTProf]

So apparently. UT will get a bigger percentage from EA if we play College Football 26 (as Tennessee) more. So there's your excuse for why you're gaming instead of doing chores.

Convicts lead Louisville 5-4

Tar Heels lead Arizona 2-1.

Im starting to buy the Joey Aguilar hype, I think he is the best down field thrower we’ve had under heup, my only question is his mobility

Idk, but I think our understanding of the type of quarterback needed to be successful in this offense has been skewed by how good Hooker was when he needed to run. I'm not sure you have to be a great runner if you can make quick decisions and get the ball out. Fingers crossed our OL is gonna be a strength. Aguilar may surprise a lot of people this year.

Are there many d1 schools that don't even have a football program? That could be a big advantage for them if they are already halfway decent at basketball.

The Big East conference and Gonzaga are the ones who will benefit the most. There's 99 schools that don't have D1 football but almost all of them are smaller conferences.

Actually, I'm CIA and the past 2 weeks were spent gathering intel about our European allies. During my latest reconnaissance mission, I can now confirm the bowl on the left is not a bidet, as we previously thought, it is to wash your feet in. View attachment 747067*pic from our hotel outside of Florence



Funny story....

Every hotel we stayed at in Italy had 2 bowls in the bathroom. Milan was our 1st stop and a fairly nice place. They had what appeared to be a pull-up/balancing bar above the seatless bowl in our bathroom. My cousin travels a lot and he had told me about foreign countries having bidets but I had never seen one. When I went to the bathroom that evening (#2), I thought "well, let's give this a try." Upon inspection, the faucet turned slightly down but I thought it might rotate to the desired angle, once I was in place. Me mentally trying to work out the logistics of getting from one bowl to another to "clean" myself was probably the most confusing part, I just couldn't make it make sense. If I did what I though was "the correct procedure", I would have probably ripped the bars of the wall, fell into the shower, and still had a poopy butt. I ended cleaning my self like I always do but was still curious about the extra bowl. After dinner that evening, I asked if anyone had figured out the bidet in their bathroom yet and after some funny looks, was told it was for feet washing. I'm so glad I didn't do anything stoopid.


FYI.....the Italian hotels we stayed at didn't supply washcloths but they did install foot tubs and towel warming racks. Evidently, the Italians are big on warm towels and clean feet. We did get told to bring our own washrags, prior to the trip. I honestly don't know what the locals do.


AFYI.... most public restrooms we went to didn't have a toilet seat.... and that was for either gender. The 3 different rest stops we used had a 24/7 bathroom attendant with a mop. View attachment 747073

That seems strange.
One of the countries somewhere doesn't have toilets at all. They just have a ceramic hole in the floor that they squat over. Maybe india or maybe an asian country. I wonder if they think it's weird that we have a "chair" in the bathroom?

I looked at the remaining bracket in the CWS tourney.

I would wager that UNC will emerge out of its bracket and make it to the CWS final.

I do believe the winner of Arkansas/Tennessee will battle with LSU to be the other team in the CWS final.

Tennessee’s side of the bracket is the toughest.

@peaygolf is gonna hate this, but if the Vols don't win it all, I'd rather a team like Murray St to win it.

Coastal or Murray if Tennessee doesn't make it.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Coastal or Murray if Tennessee doesn't make it.

yeah, I'll go with CC. Forgot they were in it. . . even though I watched them play 12hrs ago,

 

[knoxvol52]

Louisville vs Miami tied 5-5 top 7th

UNC leads Arizona 4-2 bottom 4th.

Duke vs Murray State no score top 2nd

Hear me out:

We hire Jon Gruden as GM to help with nil

Can’t imagine that would go over well with the PR department

 

[Adam Sandler]

If Alabama is happy then it is bad

Yea Alabama?

 

[MarcoVol]

Hear me out:

Gruden’s target audience - frat bros (he is a barstool employee now) - doesn’t have any money to donate to NIL.

 

[BigSteve09]

I believe they're happy because their NIL was mid compared to other top schools in the SEC and Big Ten.

Yes

Just watched Ballerina from the John wick world. 7/10. My wife even enjoyed it.
