The you can't make a house wife out of a hoe phrase comes to mind these days.

Chris Bridges once said:

“Can’t turn a hoe into a house wife hoes don’t act right”

It makes me realize how much I miss the old February signing day. Signing day eve was a madhouse.

The thing I sincerely miss most about the way recruiting used to be. It was like an extra holiday. Now, with most of them signing in the middle of the holiday season chaos, it feels more like an inconvenient distraction.

Angel donor making it for just that specific position

Gotcha

 

[DD4ME]

Ole Miss rn

 

[Dudleys87]

if LSU is as poor as some folks claim who is funding this cash flow?

I miss old college football. I’m okay with players making money, but they need to be under contract.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

What made CFB special? Watching kids get their brains bashed in for zero compensation?! Oh boy, those were the days! Forced exploitation! Bring those days back!!!

I’m all for the kids getting paid, but don’t be so naive to think they got zero compensation then, and no one said to bring back those days. What the OP is saying, is that we miss the pageantry of what college football used to be when we had players that committed to a school because they loved that school and not the way it’s become so mercenary so fast.

Again, who's paying for this workout trip?

They all make good money

 

[Dudleys87]

college football is a walking talking perfect image of a gold digging house wife who just got their credit cards taken away.

Probably Lil Wayne and Ellen Degeneres.

I do think the NIL structure at some schools like Miami and Tech are going to spiral.

I also think Danny hamstrung us some (especially on Mensah). I also think often times we were just outbid. Heuple is very particular as we have moved on from a lot to

We know Miami is going to outbid us for him. Why waste the time and give the leverage.

 

[Dudleys87]

So if a coach like (clears throat) Day or Sark fails to win are they going to demand coaches be fired immediately now?

I'd make the competition pay the max every chance I get. I'd bid him up to $15m,

Anyone that loves DW also loves Butch and Champions for Life.

My Grandma always told me that you can teach someone out of ignorance, but you can’t fix stupid. This is a perfect example.

That’s not a bad idea until it dosent work and Tennessee is on the hook for 15-20

 

[OrangeFluff]

Huh. Sounds like that will get messy.

 

[UTK]

On a serious note I think the Ohio qb has a good chance to be granted an extra year and that probably is who we get.

That was all a facade, it was always about money. It's just about money in the open now. A lot of the things we remember as Nostalgia and Pagentry had an ugly underbelly that we didn't see. It's out in the open now.

Nothing frees a wallet up better than new love after a long drought. They are dumping money ar Kiffin, but they cannot maintain this.

You really do? Tell me why - the VA kid did not

The art of the deal. . . knowing when to stop driving up the price. Similar to Shitzu's art of the bark.

Remind me who the VA kid is and let me look into it lol

 

[Rishvol]

The governor

Leashes are way tighter
cause you don't build a 50 million dollar hedge fund and let a 10 million dollar fund manager run losses
