That’s not what they are getting paid for and you know it. It’s purely a salary being paid by the athletics department and boosters. Maybe 5% is NIL.
NIL salary cap. Although I think CTE issues will take the sport down the most. Too many brain injuries that are being ignored right now but are going to reappear soon. Our brains were not made to take these hits.

re: Will Stein best hire of cycle

Maybe, but it’s too early to anoint someone. He is a good hire for them. What he did well was get the best Oline players out of the portal.
He is reported to be a really good guy and St. Andrew’s is a beautiful small town. That’s a good gig.

Kirby was at Alabama and knows where the bodies are buried. REC cannot do anything about it.

I realize some of these episodes are building the story but it confuses me at times as to what is going on. Was Conrad trying to intimidate Eddie and what are Bella’s real intentions?
I don’t like Mowin’s voice but I give her credit for preparing well.

But I've seen plenty of extra wet grass at JHS when it didn't need to be. See Iron Bowl 2015.


Worst wet field I’ve ever seen was the 2010 National Championship game in Scottsdale. Both Auburn and Oregon’s players were slipping on it. No sharp cuts. And it was indoors. So humid that coaches pants were soaked about 6” up their legs. Ridiculous.

Nope. But it can drain water. Active rain is different than rain that quit an hour earlier.

Auburn’s field can drain 18 inches of rain an hour. Tarps are not needed.
Yes. Nice for a game to end in 2 hours without all the commercials.

re: SEC Homecoming Games

What’s the point of homecoming other than to choose a Queen or have the alumni band play? Most SEC games are sold out.
Any team paying over 30 million is probably under investigation. I don’t think anything will happen though. Sternly worded letter.

Then someone will package all the streaming services into one package and we’ll be right back. People get tired of having to use multiple apps to watch TV.

I’m having to rewatch the first season because I can’t remember what happened.

These are their live mascots. Or maybe the BOT. Not sure.

Well, I grew up in North Alabama so I went to the best school in my state. Only out of state school I would have considered was Tennessee. I did end up living in BR for 4 years after college.
