Just Googled some mock drafts and literally none are in the first round
Manning certainty would be if he declared. Not saying he's Rd 1 quality, but NFL teams lose their minds over QBs.
ETA: Far worse QB have been drafted in Rd1, even Top 15.

Should have fired him with the first Daniel Jones completion of the '25 season.

Alcohol sales are declining due to a shift in consumer priorities toward health and wellness, a rise in sober-curious lifestyles, and economic factors like inflation. This trend is particularly pronounced in younger generations, who are also exploring alternatives like cannabis and non-alcoholic beverages.
MADD needs a steady flow of drunk driving deaths to keep the doors open.
re: New LSU coach and QB
Posted by Black n Gold on 11/10/25 at 8:36 am to TigerNAtux
I assume most every coach at least peeks into the portal each season to see if there are any QB worth going after. I don't suspect this offseason to be any different regardless of who the coach is.

Dude is an incredible man, and young boys and teenagers alike look at him as a role model.
In the age of internet filth, he was the hero many young boys needed. He's largely responsible for turning my son and his neighborhood friends into bushwacking enthusiast. Likely saved thousands of kids from millions of hours of video game play.

Nicknamed approved.
My brother was one of those kids. Went most of his childhood with ice and stiches on his head. His nickname was Busta because he was always busting his own head.

If you didn't know your nickname, it was probably best you don't inquire. :lol:

Nicknames were collateral damage in the 2000's culture wars. Part of the reason boys are so soft these days. My nickname growing up was Possum, except to my older brothers who called Pussy.

I'm not completely familiar with MLB's international player rules, but at some point, these guys are going to have to be part of the draft, right? The international system and lack of cap make MLB appear too tilted.

Some discretion is necessary when contributing. Pointing of that I see many posters dismissing it as simply a 3% savings on state income taxes.

So why do I constantly see posters dismiss them as non-worthy savings and investment options? Not as advantageous as HSA, but still a useful tool to consider if you have children of any age.

Think of how trivially easy it would be to rig a semi-competitive football game and get away with it from an officiating standpoint.
Penalties like holding, pass interference, roughing the passer, all very subjective and very impactful calls you can make or not make all the time. A few of those intentionally called specifically to affect the outcome will almost always decide a close game.
Especially in today's game where any contact is frowned upon and deemed detrimental to player health. It would never happen, but I'd like to see fewer penalties across the board. Allow the players to get away with more and you reduce the chances of a 'shady' call.

My son attends Auburn, and during our visit for registration, I was stunned by how clean, well-kept, and no ghetto the campus and community are.
My son is at Bama. Having visited several times, I can say the difference compared to LSU is night & day. I've been called an LSU hater, even though I'm a graduate and I love the school, but anyone who denies the changes are part of the blindfold community. If my son ever decided he no longer want to go to Bama, I would encourage him to enroll at SLU or La Tech.

There are kids being admitted into LSU with ACT scores of 15 & 16.
