Also. . .

It's not even May yet!

It’s only not even May yet.

Did you own a "No Fear" shirt or sticker?

I’m afraid not.

VolNation wants me to buy 2 Ham & Swiss Melts for $7 from Arby's really bad.

Don't fall for the usual narrative. They drafted TE Helm and WR Alomayor. Both are very good at what they do.

Yeah, after I looked into it, I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

did you own an original Hypercolor or Coke Gear? Fossil watch? Jelly bracelet?

yeah. That's what I thought.

Did you own a pair Jams or a Members Only jacket?

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Jammie Jam jams, mayn.
Also had a Jordan jacket and pants, to go with the shoes.

CB was the jacket.

My friends bought me a second place is the first loser, tee. As a joke. I wore it with pride.

That is factual, and we all know what a loser you are....

And a Panama Jack t-shirt????

Yeah, membership cost about $50.

God I wish. Middle class couldnt afford the Panama Jack tee (required a visit), or Ron John Surf shop. I thought having a Hard Rock Cafe tee was cool.

I never got a Panama Jack shirt.

I did get a Swatch for my 12th birthday. I've still got my Swatch jellyfish watch!

That was my prized possession in middle school

The money is there, they just have to ask for it and be willing to spend it.

We just spent multiple millions signing a high school basketball player. You can’t tell me boosters will pony up for that, but not for football players at a football-first school.

If the money is there, then shouldn’t there be more success in the portal?

Yes. I think I finally mowed enough yards for a Swatch, and accompanying jelly protector.

Then lost it. Swatch phone was legit.

Javonta Payton and Bryce Thompson are playing right now on ESPN. Payton caught a 2 point conversion.

Now sure how the UFL functions. There couldn't be more than a few hundred people there.

I tried watching but it’s boring imo. I’ve seen more fans at a high school game.

I got an original, white The Game hat, a Banana Republic t-shirt (the lion on the back), and a Hard Rock shirt on my 8th grade Washington DC field trip.

I've still got the BR shirt and Georgetown hat.

That BR shirt was playa tastic.

Had a legit Bulls cap, and White Sox. My friend was from Chitown and would bring stuff back.

I think there are lot of plausible explanations for our lack of portal activity, but I really don’t think “there’s no more money for football” is the one.

We're selling backup time.

WR makes no sense. Has to be we
have no QB.

My aunt was cleaning out an old closet at their house and found these.....
I had gave them to my uncle when I out grew them and he put them up for me. The gray one was from either 6th or 7th grade and the white one was from high school.

I also wonder if the exits have made them really concerned about potentially pushing their current guys away.

Whatever the case, I think the least likely explanation is: “We wanted to sign these guys and asked for the money, but got told ‘no.’”

Those are fantastic!

Is it just me or does AA remind anyone else of Ralphie from the Christmas Story??
