  1. Morehead St has produced an NFL first round QB, who also won a Super Bowl. So…there’s that. 😂
  2. I think that’s the interesting issue. The judge can provide injunctive relief and allow the players to play for LSU, but the SEC still has the right to punish LSU however it sees fit if they actually play on the field. The Big Ten’s statement threatened the coaches with fines and games suspended if they allow these players to participate. Would LSU pay a fine and have Kiffin miss 3-4 games in return for upgrading the roster with a handful of players? Heck, Kiffin better hope the judge provides an injunction or these players may sue his ass for promising something he couldn’t deliver (a paycheck and playing time for LSU, in return for leaving an NFL opportunity).
  3. Gosh, I wonder who selected that judge and venue for these players (none of whom live in Baton Rouge).
  4. Interesting that Sankey’s statement never mentions the term “student athlete”, and instead uses the term “college athletes” (multiple times). Something tells me that is very intentional, and likely part of the planning for next steps. Time for Plan C…the SEC moves to a self-governance model.
  5. This opens an interesting window to player acquisition in the coming weeks if other schools follow LSU’s lead here. Basically, any 2022 recruit who fails to make the final 53-man NFL roster in a few weeks can now be recruited by any college football program to immediately play (and no portal process is required, and grabbing former players from other SEC programs is fair game). This could turn into a feeding frenzy in a few weeks. Any good ILBs from SEC schools last season now fighting to make an NFL roster?
  6. Well, except for transferring to another team within the SEC outside the portal process.
  7. No need to use the portal for these players now?
  8. There’s a fairly large Armenian diaspora in California, mainly in LA area and the Central Valley (Fresno area). More than 250,000 people of Armenian descent.
  9. Leaving Joey Maguire’s former team no less 😂
  10. Does his trust own a home in Georgia now too?
  11. It’s entirely possible to both have the flu and to walk away from your team.
  12. Priest Holmes was an NFL Offensive POY, a 3-time All-Pro, NFL rushing champion, Super Bowl winner, and the NFL leading scorer in 2002. He still holds the NFL record for yards from scrimmage per game (163 yds). He may have the best NFL resume of any Longhorn over the past 30 years.
  13. Good grief…Mizzou lost to KANSAS that season and didn’t even win their conference that season (Big 8), yet somehow they’re claiming the National Championship in spite of both the AP and UPI recognizing Minnesota as champs (and the Football Writers of America crowned Ole Miss)??
  14. No worries. If history is a guide, Will Wade will just place a “strong ass” order for some elite recruits and voila!
  15. This reads like a cash raise by LSU’s athletic department to meet a short-term (5 year) liquidity target. The “shares” will inevitably be called by LSU after 5 years, as they have no intention of sharing the upside of a new media rights deal in 2031. So, this is effectively a loan from LSU fans to the AD for 5 years. And the lenders (LSU fans) don’t even get donor foundation points in return 😂.
  16. The Louisville vs Ole Miss game to start the season is effectively a Playoff elimination game (for the loser).
  17. If Indiana State can get that Larry Bird guy eligible, I think they have a chance for the upset.
  18. Growing up in Plano when the mighty Wildcats were the kings of Texas high school football, Billy Ray was the local legend and achieved deity-like status in town by the time his playing days were finished. RIP, Billy Ray.
  19. That’s because all his good players entered the NFL draft, and nobody was interested in the rest of the roster.
  20. 5 ACC teams listed, and 4 B12 teams. Shocker!
  21. (D) a simple error by the graphics guy.
  22. All 9 projected starters in that lineup had over 47 RBIs last season (7 guys over 50 RBIs). With even the least bit of improvement across the line-up with an additional season of college ball, and it’s not far-fetched to think all 9 starters will have 50+ RBIs. Pretty stout!
  23. I agree with the point, but ultimately it doesn’t really matter as the ACC will only get one team into the Playoffs (so pick whatever school you’d like to replace Miami in this conversation.)
