That's an insult to yellow dogs. But believe it or not, most yellow dog democrats are now more closely aligned with the Republican party than with the democrat party.

Oh but it is. In many respects it's even worse. Who asked, and I'm paraphrasing, "If migrants aren't allowed to come to this country, who will clean your toilets?"? Who stated, again paraphrasing, "They want us (blacks) back picking cotton. We gotta allow migrants to pick cotton, strawberries, lettuce, etc.".
Of course NOBODY picks cotton other than John Deere. But the answers are Barack Hussein Obama and Jasmine Crockett, both Democrats and both AA.

And of course, buried in any public HS or college curriculum, or blatantly ignored, is the fact the KKK was founded by members of the Democrat party, most notably Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first Grand Wizard and a slave trader out of Memphis whose net worth in 1870 was $1.5 million which is equivalent to over $61 million today. Jim Crow had its roots in the Democrat party.
But my money is on Bolden voting a straight Democrat ticket, if he bothers to vote at all.

Read where Nico Imaleavin had the opportunity at Tenner to make additional NIL money by-GASP-actually appearing at events, autograph sessions, doing commercials, etc., you know, the REAL reason for NIL, and he refused. So as we all know/knew, this ain't about NIL but purely pay-for-play.

Not with the wind as it is. The only hitter friendly part would be what I discussed in the earlier post and that is a foul ball in the air anywhere near the third base/left field line. Wind probably push the ball in to the stands.

Wind is blowing FROM the south, not TO the south. Here's the daily forecast from the NWS:
Tonight Partly cloudy, with a low around 64. South wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph.
Friday A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 79. South wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Friday Night Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Low around 62. South wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Saturday Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. High near 69. South wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Saturday Night Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Low around 57. Southeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
So with the exception of Saturday night, when the wind will be from left center, it's blowing straight in from RF.

In from RF. Will knock down balls from left center to RF and push balls toward the third base/LF foul line. Anything in foul territory down the LF line will most likely be blown out-of-play.
Is Nico the Curt Flood of college football?

Curt paved the way for others but paid a steep price personally.
re: Who will win Heisman next year: Nuss or Manning

Manning is the Kamala Harris of CFB. Forced the guy in front of him out and was anointed to the position without any real meaningful evidence he is any better than his predecessor.

I just don't see Belichick being willing to put up with Nico's father.
Agree but prolly the other way around. Belichick WON"T put up with that crap so daddy gotta go somewhere he MIGHT be able to intimidate the coach.

re: Lawsuit re: eligibility
Posted by Fan1958 on 4/14/25 at 3:04 pm
So it's like minor league baseball. A guy is assigned to AA and hangs around and management finally realizes the guy is never gonna make the bigs and cuts him loose. Lots of things to consider including $$$, roster limits, etc.
So the courts rule the NCAA can't put a cap on the number of years of eligibility. Some 26 year old who has been around for 8-9 years and whose skills have diminished wants to come back but there's no room or need for the guy. What does the school (or coach or GM or what/whomever) do?

Best get accustomed to that 6-7 (or worse) record going forward. You ain't in the Big XII anymore Toto.
re: Josh Pate: Nico Almost Sat Out Playoff Game
Posted by Fan1958 on 4/14/25 at 1:59 pm
The company I work for has a very generous quarterly bonus program with goals that are relatively easy to meet. HOWEVER, 15% of the earned bonus is withheld and paid in the last quarter of the year, with the last quarter's holdback falling into the next year. The kicker is YOU HAVE TO BE EMPLOYED AT THE TIME THE HOLDBACK MONEY IS TO BE PAID.
Do the same with these prima donnas. If they are earning an average of $10k per game, withhold 20% of each paycheck. At the end of a 12 game season they are due $24k. If they holdout of any playoff or bowl games, without a legitimately diagnosed injury, they get none of the holdback money. Gotta have an incentive for them to play to earn the money.

Some of these kids have too many advisors and zero loyalty.
And that's why CFB is dying at a rapid rate. Fans are loyal to their school, even if the fan did not attend said school. I didn't attend the school of which I am a fan (went elsewhere) but I grew up being a fan and therefore remained a fan, though my fandom is decreasing at an increasing rate (an old macroeconomics term) due to the fact the players have no loyalty. In the past, one could look forward to the next season by the fact QB1, RB1, the entire DL, etc. was returning. Now you need a cheat sheet just to know who will start where.
It's turning into another semi-pro/minor league/second tier league situation (kinda like the UFL) and we know how those have worked out. Lose the loyalty of the college fanbase and we won't have to worry about NIL, etc. It will end up just another bus league like Double A baseball.

OK. No more of this "they're just kids playing for the love of the game" crap. They are paid (professional) athletes open to criticism and scrutiny just like any other profession. The college game is officially dead.
