    RECRUITING: Jett Thomalla (4-star QB 2026 commit) flips to Alabama

    There is a meaningful difference between people that had wealth but then lost/squandered it, and those who lived their lives at a low income/poverty level. It's economic, social, and psychological. And yes, based on the NFL career alone I'd call the Bechts wealthy. They had access in a moment...

    Cool your jets there, NEI. I and many like me simply read your posts along with everyone's else's. If there's something to debate, we do. I agree with you as often as not -- and I never go to bed fuming that I gotta get that NEI.

    You guys are very optimistic. I hope you're right. I'm just not feeling that ole "stay the course" vibe.

    Dripping H2O from Bathroom Ceiling Fan

    Clearly your utilities company uses hydroelectric power. Ask them to switch to wind generation, which will eliminate the leak and add power to the fan.

    *** Official #17 IOWA STATE vs Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

    ISU has somewhat above average players and somewhat above average coaching. The law of averages always comes around.

    Terry Allen

    Honestly? Why? Paul has nothing to do with any of this. Sometimes its best to let the past stay where it is.

    UNLV QB is leaving the program immediately due to the school not withholding NIL commitments

    That's a clever first line. Pat yourself on the back. It seems to me, however, that a long time college football fan expressing their growing disillusionment at the state of things is exactly germane to this thread. The fact that we are in exact disagreement on your second sentence proves the point.

    UNLV QB is leaving the program immediately due to the school not withholding NIL commitments

    If this is going to be the lead topic in college football from here on, I am tempted to tap out. I'll watch the NFL where the product is better. I guess I really did like the mythos of student athletes and amateur athletics. It all started downhill with runaway coaching salaries.

    Williams & Blum: The Florida State / Clemson conversation

    Meh. Another flush in college athletics going down the toilet. There's no winning in the mega conference competition, because everyone is a loser.

    NCAA agrees to unlimited transfers

    I hate that the Jess Settles jokes will go stale.
