Thanks for the deep insight. Being an Arkansas fan is wallowing in misery. Last time I actually specifically sat down with the intention to watch an entire Arkansas game was 2023 vs. Alabama. We haven't beaten them since 2006 and I thought we had at least a fighting chance so why not, wasn't awful, sort of respectable performance in defeat.

It's been a horrible run for over a decade and it's not even worth watching, just a fan from being born into it and being masochistic enough. From what I can tell the crowd that shows up for games is largely classic "wine and cheese" other than students. There's zero positive momentum. Sad state of affairs.

He's really going for the "too much time out in the sun" look. Can't be good

Best of luck

Hope they made him sit on a tack before blowing him up.

His house kind of went viral when it went up for sale. While I could never afford it, it was definitely awesome to look at. I could tell he's a great guy just from that.

Online sportsbooks should be considered as entertainment only, and that is how they market themselves so everyone should view it that way. If you are actually profiting, they will limit the amount you can bet. If you only take advantage of promos, they will ban you from promos. They only want losers. If you see a screenshot of someone posting a huge boosted parlay hit on $5000 bet, rest assured, this person is a overall loser and has lost more to the book than that win otherwise they would have never allowed the bet to be placed.

When online sportsbooks became legal you could actually take advantage of promos since many companies were willing to trade off some loss for a gain in marketshare, but most went under and there are only a few major players left. Nowadays all the promos are a small boost on a multi leg parlay that doesn't even cover a small portion of the added juice. They may have a decent sign up promo, but that's just to get you hooked, and even those are much worse than they used to be.

Biff at least shows them off with sideboob in those cut off shirts. Michigan apparently won't let him wear them because of...

You know, how respectable a Michigan Man should be.

Logistics would be a nightmare and you'd have to get a team that would "move the needle" to agree, which would have required pre-planning for this scenario. I've heard Puerto Rico also works because it isn't contiguous. 2 HBCU's planned to play there this year and the venue was changed last minute because of too much rain and they couldn't get the baseball field converted to a football field in time.

I'd love to see Pavia playing Utah or USC in a muddy baseball field in PR as much as anyone, but this could never happen.

If you actually read that you would realize how shitty AI is. Please read it.

Orgeron is just sitting there, though

Here are the cons:

You live in Baton Rouge.

Title expectations are just short of Alabama and Ohio State.

You have to live in Louisiana.

You are expected to complete for the SEC every year.

Pros:

Obviously a big up front contract.

Don't really need to compete to get all of the contract.

Sounds like a retirement plan job.
