Some of the best lessons I ever learned were on the knuckles of some other person's fist and some of the sweetest vindications I ever claimed were on my own. I worry that we are raising a generation of wussies.

Preach on brother. For the last 20 years or so kids have not been taught how to cope with things not going their way and they have not been taught how to resolve conflicts. Parents have always swooped in and solved their problems for them. A huge disservice.

These are all 13 foot long 8x6 oak beams that I have to load on the trailer in a bit. Think there are 14 total.

One of y'all needs to come help me. Lol

Greetings and Salutations Sara and everyone.
How's it going?

This place definitely doesn't move as fast as the, uh, other, thread used to move.

I don't worry about rankings, I worry about needs. So many of these rankings are from paying money to get their names on lists. Than is why there are more 3 star recruits that have won the "Heisman" trophy than 4 and 5 stars combined. If we fill our needs with the help especially on the lines with good JUCO's, we will be aight. It is easier to perform at skill positions at a younger age (except QB) than to have the physical attributes to succeed in the line.

Thanks! I got this year thing though. I am close to being a "Summer of Love" baby. I just don't act my age.

Curious to know how many of these recruits that are decomitting are doing it on their own or are basically being culled because some of Butch's recruits weren't what CJP wants ...

I personally hope he and his staff start raiding some other teams for their recruits. Specifically, the teams they came from.
