LSU should just refer to him as QB #5 just like the old NCAA football video games before NIL allowed EA to use real names.

When speaking of the program’s Heisman winners: Billy Cannon, Joe Burrow, and QB #5

7 isn’t available to use as a recruiting tool because of the whole 7 and 18 traditions. Most of the rest of the numbers are taken by players already on the roster. You usually only have 2-3 single digit numbers a year available

a huge recruiting tool
Single digit numbers are huge recruiting tools. Some recruits make a big deal out of being able to get a certain number. Having both 9 and 5 out of circulation can’t happen.

9 isn’t even officially retired, and Burrow would be more deserving than Daniels considering Burrow won the Heisman plus a national title, damn near every other award possible, broke every single season passing record, and was the leader of arguably the best CFB team of all time.

Retiring numbers in college football is stupid considering you already have some numbers being worn by 2 players on opposite sides of the ball.

It doesn’t have to be DST to have light to do outdoor work, it naturally occurs regardless.


If you work during the week and have school aged kids, you aren't getting any outdoor chores done on weekday mornings whether its standard time or DST.

But at least on DST, there's enough time in the evenings to take care of yard work during the week so you can keep the weekends completely free to go fish, hunt, watch football, and spend with the family.

No. Google says first offense DWI is only a civil offense in Wisconsin. Its not a felony until 4th offense.

You should give us the numbers so we can discuss instead of having to independently research how many TDs and Yards he is back


Since OP did such a shitty job at starting his own thread.....

1 Emmitt Smith 18,355
2 Walter Payton 16,726
3 Frank Gore 16,000
4 Barry Sanders 15,269
5 Adrian Peterson 14,918
6 Curtis Martin 14,101
7 LaDainian Tomlinson 13,684
8 Jerome Bettis 13,662
9 Eric Dickerson 13,259
10 DERRICK HENRY 13,018


1 Emmitt Smith 164
2 LaDainian Tomlinson 145
3 Marcus Allen 123
4 DERRICK HENRY 122



He ran for almost 1600 yards and 16 TD's last year. In 2024 he went for 1900 yards and 16 TD's. That's crazy for a RB in years 9 and 10 when most elite RB's have fallen off a cliff by that point in their careers. I'd expect some slight drop off with all the years of wear and tear on him, but I think he can catch Sanders for 4th in yards and make a strong run at LT for 2nd in TD's. That's a strong case for top 3 all time back behind Payton and Barry

I think in theory that sounds like an amazing idea, it's just fighting the "I'm rich!" mentality and spending high and blowing large chunks of it before it can make you passive income. That $10 million private island, $5 million yacht, $5 million jet, $2 million helicopter...all sound pretty good


I'd have no problem budgeting when the monthly budget is like $600K :lol:

Only big chunks I'd take out up front would be maybe around $10M for a house on the water and a few toys like a new truck, inshore boat, offshore boat, etc. I don't need to spend 10's of millions buying houses all over the place. Easier to just rent when I feel like traveling as opposed to buying and then having all the upkeep and maintenance on properties I might only spend a few weeks a year at.
The Dodgers deserve every bit of the financial shite storm heading their way
quote:

I thought they would come up with some sort of settlement so both Colorado and Deion could save face, and the health problems gave them the perfect out.


That would require Deion agreeing to a greatly reduced buyout. Deion does not seem like the type of person to agree to forego a bunch of money. And Colorado doesn't have the money to eat that whole buyout, so they're stuck for a couple more years.

Colorado's AD was dumb to give him that extension so quickly when he still had an overall losing record and his biggest accomplishment was losing in the Alamo Bowl. He already had a middle of the pack salary for P4 coach with a $10M buyout he would owe if he left for another school. Nobody else was trying to poach him away from Colorado.

If either is going to be permanent then I'd rather DST.

Year round standard time means first light would be between 4:30 and 5:00 AM for about 4 months out of the year in SELA. Up north around Minnesota, it would be first light out before 4:00 AM from late May to early July

I would rather keep the time change twice a year than have to deal with sunrises that early to where its miserably hot by 9:00 AM for doing yardwork or to go fishing in the summer.

I selfishly prefer year round DST so its an extra hour of sleep during hunting season and to have a little bit of daylight after work to take care of outdoor work around the house during the week.
quote:

I want Standard Time all year round


frick that nonsense. Year round standard time means that first light would be before 5:00 AM from late April until around mid August.

Do you want your neighbors mowing their yards at 6:00 AM every weekend? Because that's how you get neighbors mowing yards at 6:00 AM once summer heat kicks in

Just curious, but why would the Mavericks want to purchase the card?


Most likely just a PR stunt for attention.

The Mavs have to have known that their VIP experience offer, meet and greet with Flagg, and 32 years of season tickets wasn't going to be accepted by whoever pulled the card when it was expected to be worth 7 figures. But the offer got people talking about the Mavs and Flagg and made headlines. So mission accomplished by their PR team.
I don't know where to start with the amount of retardation in the OP

I would also add that more kids are ending up playing one sport almost year round. Whether its travel ball, club soccer, or AAU basketball.

Can I play NCAA on an Xbox against someone on a PS5?


Yes. You can even play NCAA on a console vs someone on a PC. Cross platform option has gotten to be pretty common with online play games.

Do I need an xbox series s or can i play on another, more cost effective console?


You will need either X-Box (series S or X), PS5, or a gaming PC

Gaming PC is the least cost effective option. Also the most complicated because there's so many variables in performance specs with all the different processor, memory, and video card options you can choose from.

In the X-Box options, Series S is cheaper than Series X. But Series S doesn't have a disc drive, so all of your games will have to be digital downloads. Which means you can't re-sell the physical discs later because the digital version is tied to your X-Box account. Series X console costs more, but has the disc drive, giving you the option for physical discs.

Personally, I'd go with the PS5 option since your son already has an X-Box. That way he can use your PS5 if there's a certain game he wants to play that's exclusive to Playstation.

The owner of Flagg's card will be hard-pressed to part with it, but the Mavericks recently made their case with an offer that includes two Mavericks premium season tickets for 32 years, a signed, game-worn Flagg rookie jersey plus a postgame photo with the star, a private photo shoot with the Rookie of the Year trophy, an expenses-paid road trip with the team and more.

Rhode Island break found the Flagg card
I might take this over the card, you could still sell the game worn jersey for just as much


There's supposedly a $3.5 million offer for the card. Flagg's game worn jersey from his debut game sold for $1 million. Just some random game may not even fetch 6 figures.

The Mavs offer is cool with the once in a lifetime type of behind the scenes experiences they're offering. But unless the guy who pulled it is already filthy rich, he'd be stupid not to take the $3.5 million offer. Life changing money.
