I think UNLV, UTEP, maybe Washington St would be about the best he can get. Between his play this season, late last year, and his dad's reputation, I think a lower lever "Western" school would be about the only ones still interested in Nico.

Fresno St, San Jose St, San Diego St. like you, I think there’s too much baggage for any good program to want to take a chance on him

I still contend that we did everything right. We played it right. Just kick a damn field goal. And I appreciate that the kid manned up and said he didn't do his job. We gonna be aight.

I wish we would have blitzed in the face of Gunner instead of backside. His best throws were to the right when he had a clean pocket. They also were on 3rd RT at that point

Well part of the trip is "the drive" I know it won't be fully fall colors, but it'll be starting.

Currently was planning to hit Haywood Smokehouse...and then depending on how we're feeling either head over to Biltmore (wife's never been) or maybe the Cherokee Casino. But just to get to Cherokee it's around 3 hours.

Blue Ridge Parkway from Cherokee to Asheville is pretty, plenty of pull offs with trails. I am just not sure how much of it is open,

Just say this….brought back a cool memory

Laugh all you want, but today, September 18th is an important day in’lil peaygolfs life….

In 1983, KISS finally “unmasked” themselves on MTV.

As a young 13 year old worshipping this band since I was 5……and having to hide it because of the crap music they put out in the early 80’s…..this was a big day for me……and millions of other proud members of the KISS Army

Thank you for making me happy for 50 years!

Surprisingly, today also marks the 25th anniversary of one of the band's lowest moments. The day KISS tried to reach a whole new generation of fans and try to rebuild the KISS army. Gene thought they could reignite the magic, like you once felt as a 5 year old, but this time with preschool aged children. It was an epically, horrible idea and would ultimately become the reason why kids no longer listen to, or even like, KISS.

*It's still considered one of the worst cameo appearances in television history.

Haywood Smokehouse is legit. I go every time I'm in the area.

Wow! Lol

I run my own company too. I would never tell anyone that I am better than them or my views are almost always correct. I hire people who are smarter and think outside the box. We all have different views and many times it takes a group mindset to have the best decision. You sound like a nightmare to talk too or work with.

I don’t own my own company so I work for the decision makers.
I agree 100% with your last sentence!

I admit that I have had to shamefully hang my head many times as a member of the KISS Army….

That is close to the top….

But we live on and love, even though the difficulties.

Why would he transfer? No one is gonna give him anywhere near $1.2m or however much it is that he's fleeced off UCLA.

I'd say Big Nic has already cashed out and spent all that Bruins' money. Nico might take a cut but I doubt UCLA is going to give him another million next season. I would think Nico's family is shopping him around pretty hard right now. UCLA might pay him another mil to stay or they might be under contract to do so. I don't understand this NIL era. One thing's for sure, his dad proved that they ain't too bright, so they could end up taking less money for him to move again

Nah, he wanted to get that 3000th K I'm sure.

Part of what made him great was being able to adapt and be highly competitive even when his abilities diminished. He still has great command for the most part and still knows how to get guys out. Hell, he's 10-2 with a 3.53 this season. Two starts back, he struck out 8 batters. He's still good.

But it's a good time to retire. He got his 3k, still has a fresh WS ring, new baby on the way I think, and he gets to end it while he's doing well instead of ducking out with a whimper.

Should be a unanimous first ballot HOFer. Won't be 🙄 but should be.

That’s fair.. LA all the way my friends @volbeast33 @knoxvol52 @pismonque
