Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Happy Thursday. This week is going quickly. 9 days for portal adventures. Kindness to yourself is something that seems unimportant, but can be a genuine breakthrough to loving others. Often we hurt others because we are hurting. Prayers for all who are.

April 17, 2025: Do not be so hard on yourself. You know that condemnation is not what you need if you are going to have a breakthrough. Doing the best you can with what you have will suffice. So pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again. Kindness is a virtue, and that includes being kind to yourself. 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
 
agreed

to get there, we have to get here:
If I made more money, solidly in the singles 22% tax bracket I’d donate even more than I have already the last few years. It’s a team effort and we all need to give what we can
 
I get it now, fellas we have not been picking up what Nico's camp has been laying down. It wasn't that Tennessee's offense was too bad but that it was too good. Apparently Nico wanted more of a challenge and to prove his ability. UCLA is a dumpster fire offensively. They have sketchy o-line, no receivers, and a crappy recruiting class coming in. I mean Nico traded his Hendrick Racing Chevrolet in for a BK Racing Yugo. When he wins this year he will really prove himself. That was the goal all along.
It obviously wasn't the money, Nico took a huge pay cut and went to the highest state income tax state in the nation. He will be lucky to clear $800,000. So living in a Scottish Motor lodge and driving an oil burning Yugo he is going to show us all.
 
If it came out this was all papa Nics doing, that Nico never threatened to sit out, and he fired his dad and agents, made a private and public apology to his teammates/coaches/administration/boosters/fans, was willing to play for the same amount of money he was already being paid or less, signed an nda in relation to any internal contract/compensation/leadership conversations he had previously while here, promised his teammates to put them first, and gave up social media for the remainder of his time here, would you allow the team to vote on taking him back?
He would have a difficult time getting back in touch as every option he has is on ignore or blocked. Even snail mail. If he showed up in person, security would notify him that he is persona non grata.
I don’t think that a team vote would be favorable for him.

I would offer a dollar per practice. Starting on the practice squad with a full contact jersey. If he survived up to game day then I would pay him $5 per game. $10 if he actually plays.

So that’s the long answer.

The concise answer is Hell No!
 
So now 'big boy' serving knuckle sandwiches also serves 11 months, 29 days. Loses ability to vote, own a handgun, and likely his job. In addition, likely pays shirtless court costs, and medial bills. But hey, hope it was worth it.

Edit: It's Canada. Nm.
Figured you'd be cool with a couple of those things, 😂
 
So that's going to rely more on officials recognizing real injuries on the field before spotting the ball and for Kiffin to have his guys fake injuries quicker once a play is over...maybe even having them fake the injury before the play is over.
I won't be surprised if injuries will start being part of the play design.
