I can get on board with something like that

This not good for anyone in the long run when enough fans get fed up with it and the revenue drops significantly.


I think “enough” fans are already fed up, but I also know revenue and viewership is climbing more than ever. Some guardrails will eventually be put in place, but the CFB of old is a thing of the past.

The timeline needs to be re-evaluated. Institutions shouldn’t be allowed to pressure kids into signing something prior to the opening of the portal window, then holding them hostage when the window opens and they now have opportunities that supersede what they’ve already agreed to

There needs to be a governing body with teeth overseeing this mess of a system that could enforce similar rules.


You do understand that historically there has been one of those. It’s called the NCAA. They are the incompetent assholes who wielded one-sided power and control for decades that made them the rich fat ficks that they are.

Now that the players, whose backs they gottten even richer off of have some modicum of power and the ability to get paid for their labor/contributions, you have a problem?

But all of this makes you uncomfortable huh, poor you

I’m more referring to the fact that I don’t like COLLEGE athletes playing for 7 years.


I can respect that, we’re together there. But admittedly, a few weeks ago I would’ve gladly taken Chambliss with a waiver had I not known what I know now
It’s football. Let’s just really be honest for a change. Do you really give a shite about what classes these guys are enrolled in or what their major is? I hope they are doing something to set themselves up for life after football, but honestly, for the most part I don’t really give a shite as long as they can help us win football games.

Most of y’all are butthurt about the freedom of movement players have and the fact that they can get paid which incentivizes that movement
The new CFB is the BEST, most watched, and most lucrative it has ever been. Always been lucrative and offered options for the coaches and the institutions, but now that the players are empowered and can get paid too you have a problem?

There’s no more one way loyalty to your favorite institution and it creates uncertainty that makes little “SulphursFinest” uncomfortable…oh no
Absolutely love this, and thanks for putting it together! Would be more helpful if each position was ordered by returning starters, then other returners by class, transfers in, incoming high school kids

Best food and chefs come from SW Louisiana. NOLA chefs ain’t originally from NOLA. Gotta cross the Atchafalaya for that authentic flavor. NOLA food is the commercialized version of the real thing
What evidence do you have to support this or is this pure speculation as I expect it is?

Y’all need to accept the fact that this ain’t the “good ole days” where institutions and coaches have all the power, and the players whose backs they make millions off of actually have options themselves.

I know, I know, it sucks and creates instability for your favorite team, but instability is part of life. If you could renegotiate your contract every year you undoubtedly would. Stop acting like an injustice is being done to you because the kids have more opportunities to be paid and find better situations.

Sounds like a head case.


& you say this based on what exactly?
Never heard the guy in the gold truck state that he was reacting to Lacy
Not true, he actually provided data from 5 seconds prior to the crash
It’s also likely the gold truck tapped his brakes simply because he was being tailgated. Happens all the time
It’s because you have the attention span of a 4yr old, but if you actually gave AF, you would tap in and see what’s actually going on. People make time for the things they care about.

Your wife will tell you the same 20 years from now when you’re mentally 24, but it’s okay, just know that I told you first
I know Elijah has the physical tools to potentially be great, Hugh ceiling and all. But I always felt like we had more security in Pop & Nuss.

If Haven figures it out he is “Cam Newton-esque”, but if he doesn’t, he’s a bunch of other guys we could name…not a shot at Anthony Richardson, but lol
Yeah, that list didn’t necessarily blow me away but, appreciate the info
Although not mobile, gottta throw Drew Brees in there
