Seems like the way things going that athletic teams will soon be university owned, for profit, minor league teams. Being an LLC and players soon being considered employees of the university, I'd imagine they could de-couple the requirement to be enrolled in the school. They would just be athletes that the university hires to play on their teams, like they would hire any other roles at the school.

I could be reading this wrong, but it really does seem that this is the direction things are headed.

OK, ON3 took this thing WAY out of context. The part about Milroe was one tiny part ... one part ... in an NFL dot com piece on NFL scouts, coordinators and executives assessing the top 18 quarterbacks in this year's draft.

All of the things said about Milroe and the others are true. But if there's one thing that I can say about commentary coming out of NFL teams this time of year, even off the record, is be very careful what you believe. If they like a guy, chances are they are going to bash him to get others to hopefully buy it and drive their stock down or draft position down.

It's all BS and misdirection this time of year from staff and front offices.

A gay bar, a dumpster, a puddle of piss and the New Orleans police.

We used to visit friends that went to school at Loyola. Can't remember if it was Mardi Gras or just another time, but the town was very bust so I think it was likely during Mardi Gras.

We were partying uptown at my friends fraternity house, one guy that we knew from Bama, but didn't come with our group met up with us at the fraternity house. That guy ends up getting completely blackout drunk. We decide with a group of folks, there was about 10 of us, evenly split guys and girls, that we were going to head into the french quarter with a quick first stop off at a bar close by, I think it was called The Boot, no idea if it's still there.

On the way to the bar, the blackout drunk dude decides to run off down a random street off into the night. Now this is the mid 90's, it's not we had cellphones or any way to contact this guy. So, we did what anyone would do, we joked about how he'd wake up in the morning in a tub of ice with his kidneys gone and went about our night.

After the brief stop at the bar, we decide to take the trolly into town. Walk to whatever stop it was and hop on. Randomly the blackout drunk guy is already on the trolly. We ask him where the hell he went and he just kind of grunted and gave us a thumbs up. At this point, he can barely keep his eyes open and once we get to the quarter we're practically doing a Weekend at Bernies thing with him, he's so drunk that he almost couldn't walk on his own.

We spend a little time in the quarter and the girls that we were with in the group had to pee, we were right by a place called Oz, a gay bar, that again have no idea if it's still there. They figure that it would be the easiest place for them to get to the restroom, so we all go in. It's absolutely packed with guys and there were a bunch of them shirtless dancing on the bar having a good old time etc.

In the middle of this crowd, our enigmatic, blacked-out companion suddenly has what I can only describe as a moment of clarity. He opens his eyes wide and the music in the bar goes momentarily quiet while a the song changes, like it was in a movie. In that spilt second, Mr. Blackout shouts "where did all these fricking ****s come from".

What I can only describe as a herd of shirtless, muscled, very angry, gay men came rushing at us. I was pretty much frozen until one of my friends grabbed me while screaming "fricking run, man!' We hit the front door and turned down a street, full speed. We had a little bit of lead on the herd and saw a dumpster, the five of us that were together dove behind it to hide and landed in a massive pool of piss. Meanwhile Mr. Blackout wasn't with us, but came strolling down the street a minute or tow later and saw us. First thing he does is ask why we ran out of the bar and are laying in piss. We get up, make sure we we're clear of the angry herd and take account of our situation. We realize we're soaked in piss and can hear that we're that we're being heckled by a couple of guys. A couple of NO police officers had witness pretty much the entire thing and were laughing their asses off at us. Understandably, they offered no help. Pretty much a few seconds later, Mr. Blackout runs off down a street into the night again. We didn't see him again until the next day. I guess he passed out in the street and some folks took him in for the night. He somehow managed to survive the night with his kidneys.

We found the girls who were now unimpressed with our antics and decided to head back uptown, get changed and attempt to get blackout drunk ourselves. I don't remember the rest of the night, so I can only imagine that we were successful.

They'll likely be back in power in 4 years and in less than 2 years will likely own congress. As repulsive as they are we have to be prepared for what they're going to try and shove down our throats soon. The pendulum always swings back.

As you get near 50 numbers drop pretty significantly and the ability to burn fat and gain muscle goes with it.

I know he declined the last several years, but I'll miss the guy. Hate him or love him, he's been a part of the college football experience as long as I can remember and I'll miss the guy. It was fun to laugh at him, agree with him, disagree with him and when he wanted to be serious, he actually could give some great insight as an ex-coach.

Kind of like when Keith Jackson retired, it took something away from the viewing experience. People and personalities like that never can really be replaced.

21. PITTSBURGH STEELERS: QB JALEN MILROE, ALABAMA

Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is drooling over the thought of having a rushing threat at quarterback.

As an Alabama and Steeler fan, I wish the best for Milroe. Also, I'll be happy to see him anywhere but Pittsburgh. 2+ years of watching him is more than enough for a lifetime.
