re: Aggies are going to be the first campus to reach 100k students

I obtained my law degree at Texas. Not easy. a&m has a lot of great programs, and I am not going to knock their law school, which was not established yet when I was in school.
I was not sure Texas needed another law school being so well served by Texas, SMU, Baylor, Tech, UofH, etc.
But A&M did do a nice job infusing the old Texas Wesleyan with lots of cash, sprucing up the faculty, playing the rankings game, etc.
Whether it produces great lawyers . . .time will tell.

Having his number retired was straight up ridiculous. Just another example of dad pimping him.
This was noted as another concern in a few articles. The kid has literally never been in an environment not stage managed and controlled by his dad.
How does that translate to an NFL locker room where a staff may not want Deion barging in all the time? I know several NFL execs spoke to the media about Shadeur's list of conditions and demands. That may seem normal to the kid given his upbringing but does not foreshadow a great teammate and leader for whoever drafts him.

He's not getting chosen in the 2nd round.
This would be funny only for the fact that the hacks at ESPN will have to keep spinning him the whole time.
The media could not have tried harder to promote the kid . . . .half of the lead in to the first overall pick was about him even though everyone had concluded Cam Ward was the guy. Mel Kiper basically didn't discuss the Jaxon Dart pick and instead talked about how they should have drafted Shadeur Sanders.

I mean both these players resurrected a pretty dead Colorado program and were the face of the new Deion era swagger and push for excellence. I think not only statistically but symbolically these two players were historic for the program. I mean Colorado is a fairly big brand nowadays with a significant chunk of out of state fans.
The Buffs have gone 13-12 the two years with Sanders with the highlight being a 9-4 season, a very lopsided loss to BYU in the Alamo Bowl, and a #23 final ranking.
Mike McIntyre accomplished more in 2016.
I guess I don't really care that college football has basically turned into the Kardashians. I do get to hate out the folks that view this as a great thing and try to justify the hype.

Yes, the Sheriff of Fansville.
He was douchey, disruptive, self-serving, roided up prick that turned out to be a titanic bust n the pros once the steroids were taken away from him. He infuriated basically everyone that had to deal with him from Switzer to his teammates.
There is a reason his openly crying all through that 30 for 30 about him. He knows he was one of the greatest asshats in college football history and has remorse.

Keith Jackson is indeed the gold standard for me, but I am still miffed we went through that whole 1998 season with ABC paying endless, fawning tributes to the man for his impending retirement only for him to change his mind a few weeks later. The Dude called games for another eight years.
"Tennessee 23, Florida State 16. And so it is done. I say goodbye to all of you. God bless and good night."

I had a friend with Parkinson's that made the trip to Kentucky and the work they did really improved his quality of life.

Texas fans are racist as hell and always have been, but that is not why got Rodney Terry fired.
He was teetering over into real incompetence and the constant job worries would have made it hard for him to recruit going forward.

Hoosiers also achieved the rare perfect season. Outside of those Wooden UCLA squads, only UNC and San Francisco U managed that feat .

re: Which SEC state has the best beaches?

I'd probably rank it this way.
1 - Florida
2 - SC & Georgia
4 - Texas
5 - Alabama & Mississippi
7 - Louisiana
Seems right and that is only because the South Texas beaches are fairly undisturbed. Gulf Beaches starting from Freeport, TX to Pascagoula, MS are basically carcinogen zones that sometimes feature poor white trash, low rent table gaming, and Mississippi Delta Silt.

People seem genuinely ignorant of the money and resources back IU basketball. IU has the name, tradition, rabid fan support and facilities but people forget the serious financial backing.

Coaches Believe Indiana Contends For Nation's Best NIL Situation
In a CBS Sports survey of over 100 men's college basketball coaches asking which programs they believe have the best NIL situations, Indiana received the fifth highest percentage of votes.
to shed light on this dynamic of college athletics, CBS Sports college basketball insiders Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander surveyed 100-plus Division I men's basketball coaches – from the sport's biggest names to low-major assistants – for their annual Candid Coaches series.
On Wednesday, they published a portion of the series that anonymously asked coaches the question: Which three programs do you believe have the best NIL situations?
Here are the results, including the percentage of ballots each team appeared on.
Arkansas, 73.7%
Kansas, 43.2%
BYU, 30.6%
Kentucky, 25.3%
Indiana, 16.9%

They don’t win championships because despite all that TV money they don’t hire or retain elite coaches for some reason.
Having lived up that way, I have noticed that outside of Ohio State the Big 10 schools do not view athletic success as a necessary ingredient to University life.
Some schools like Illinois are, despite incredible resources and existing in a talent laden part of the country, totally happy with results ranging from mediocrity to failure.

There’s pretty solid in state talent in Indiana, not that it matters in the NIL era.
If they have booster support and the right coach the B10 is wide open.
With Izzo at retirement age think about how mediocre that conference is from a coaching standpoint. There are at least 5+ coaches in the SEC Id take over anyone up there.
I actually like what Dusty May is building in Ann Arbor. Juwan Howard was such an incredibly terrible coach that Michigan's current top 20 ranking seems like a miracle.
He completely rebuilt the roster in a handful of months.

Doesn't help that it's in Indiana.
Bloomington is a really pretty town, not too far from Louisville and amid forests and rolling hills.
But I also don't think location really matters all that much. A lot of the nation views SEC towns a small, podunk, and full of rednecks but that doesn't stop the conference from churning out top 10 teams.
