re: ICE is upsetting the Nashville natives tonight

Posted by Phat Phil on 5/13/25 at 12:25 am

I went to one of high school in south Nashville 20 years ago. Looking at the yearbook, the class was mostly white. Now it's 90% Hispanic. Exact same high school.

And yet Nico's family is claiming transfer is about Tennessee's offense, not money.

ESPN: UCLA in talks with QB Nico Iamaleava for less money

So instead of doubling his salary, it's about to be cut in half. Not to mention an upcoming 5-7 season with a shitty team, fanbase that never fill up the stadium, and a ruined reputation.

There's only 1 prediction and it's outdated by several days. 1 prediction means 100% crystal ball.

He's just not that good. He isn't anything close to Burrow, Tebow, Menziel, Cam Newton. He's serviceable and maybe has some potential, but he's not worth $4 million. Trust me, Tennessee would have paid him if he was a game changer.

For that kind of money, he needs to light up Ohio State, not Kent State.
(He did light up Kent State 71-0 last year)

Report: Multiple programs waiting for Nico Iamaleava’s NIL demand to drop to $1 million

With North Carolina reportedly out and only Tulane and UCLA currently linked to Iamaleava, Pete Nakos of On3.com now reports that multiple schools are waiting to see whether his price falls into the range of $1 million.

It’s a new wrinkle in the NCAA’s NIL dynamic. Now that a player can play the leverage game, there’s a chance he’ll overplay his hand. Iamaleava apparently has.

The $4 million he wants seems to be nowhere to be found. The $2.4 million he had may be gone for good.

Not just Nico, but several players from other programs renegotiated in the middle of a playoff run, holding the team hostage. Now I understand why Nick Saban retired.

Is Nico really worth $8 million?

If he plays like Joe Burrow then yes, we'd pay even double. But he was serviceable at best and padded stats against cupcakes. Whenever he played against defense with a pulse he rarely even threw downfield.

I've been desperately rooting for the housing market crash since 2021. If that happens, Trump is my savior.

re: Europe uniting against Russia

Posted by Phat Phil on 3/2/25 at 6:40 pm

Europe is nothing but talk. Zero substance. Put your money where your mouth is and actually provide Ukraine with means to fight the war. Ukraine is outgunned and outmatched. Russia is firing 3x more artillery every day. Does Russia really have more weapons than all of EU combined?

re: Big Dick Billy just clocked in the #8 Recruting Class per 247

Your school is located in Florida, #1 talent hotbed in the country. And yet ranking is barely above Tennessee. Congrats.

Check in if your team is worth a billion bucks

The Buckeyes would be worth $1.96 billion if the team could be sold on the open market, according to an analysis by Ryan Brewer, an associate professor of finance at Indiana University Columbus. That puts Ohio State just ahead of Texas ($1.9 billion) and rival Michigan ($1.66 billion), with six other programs—Georgia, Notre Dame, LSU, Penn State, Tennessee and Texas A&M—topping the billion dollar mark.

re: Season over. 1998 officially lives on.

Posted by Phat Phil on 1/21/25 at 1:53 pm

There is no inflation for time. 41 years is 41 years.
41 years (probably your entire lifetime) without title is pain and misery. 26 years isn't too bad even for big time programs in college football. Notre Dame's last title is 1988.
