Recruiting Forum: Football Talk X

When you start taking players from App St less than 2 weeks from signing day, you have panicked.

I believe he was thinking about switching to Wake Forest when Candy swooped in and stole him. Now Appy State and WF are both mad at Mason and Vandy.

My lord...another campus shooting....this time at the U of Oklahoma.

Praying it is a false alarm as USA Today has reported.

Shots reported at Univ. of Oklahoma campus

Daily reporter Joe Mussatto from the school newspaper The Oklahoma Daily, reports that university president David Boren, who was arrived at Gould Hall, came into his class and said the noise may have been the result of an equipment malfunction and could be a false alarm.

What's the word on Zak Neary from Adamsville, TN.? Speed or more like the lack of speed?

here Ron is starting baseless rumors again......

New report out this am says Vince Young files for bankruptcy. Says he regularly spent 5-6k at TGI FRIDAYS on teammates and drank $600 shots at Mortons after each game.

Should be like Peyton and drink Bud Light

 

[volssam]

It is insane how many athletes go bankrupt. The percentage is extremely high. If you havent seen it, you should watch the 30 for 30: broke. It is on Netflix, or was a few months back when I watched it. Crazy.

I feel very certain if I could make their kind of money for 5-10 years, I could manage pretty well and be in an extemely good position. So much waste

 

[volatil]

He made 50 million in Nashville.

That was a great 30/30 episode. The problem seems to be when you give a dude who likely has an 8th grade education $50 million and they get bad advice, that money is gone in a hurry.

You or I could probably take $5 million and turn it into $50 million through smart spending and sound investments.

Or 83333.33333333333 shots at Morton's.

anyone with half a brain could make it last their lifetime - if you have any intelligence then his type of money should be helping your family or a charity forever

just idiotic

Go back and look at the stats and drive summary of that game. Oregon only had the ball 17 minutes total and still had over 300 yards of offense. They fumbled at the 2, the 18, stopped on 4th at the 4. They only punted once I think it was. They moved the ball well, but they shot themselves in the foot when they would get into scoring position. They only had the ball once for like two minutes in the second qtr. Stanford had the ball for 43 minutes total.

Yep - watched that game. Oregon shot themselves in the foot with TO's and a lousy defensive scheme. It wasn't Mason's D that won that game. It was Oregon's not taking care of the ball and bad D. They gave the game away.

I thought I had read somewhere years ago that the NFL was having the players go through some sort of money management classes and also having money managers available to help the players so this wouldn't happen.

They do, but the players have to listen.

The fool and his money are soon parted.

The problem is in the heart of the man receiving the money. Values and morals influence choices. What do you expect from guys that think gambling and strip joints are normal nightly entertainment?

Ron,
Did you make that up?

Just kidding, filling in for tux.

 

[volatil]

Or 83333.33333333333 shots at Morton's.

Lol

 

[Ron Swanson]

Does Coleman start at Corner, Nickel or does a freshman start?

I think there's a chance at a new corner with Coleman moving to nickel. That's what I think Tennessee would prefer.

That's definitely what I prefer

I'm ready to get this recruiting class wrapped up and start talking about spring practice for awhile.

 

[LotteryPick]

Jones takes his place, IMO

Recruiting him?

Did Riyahd Jones get a redshirt this year?

I'd settle for $200k....:dance2:
