Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

Well the government has a supposedly bipartisan bill in the works to remove repeated transfers, it's going to be 1 "free" transfer only with "salary cap" and "legitimate business purpose" NIL deals only. Players could accurately see the federal government as hostile to their interests & could organize in order to try and avoid more punitive actions from the government later on.
I doubt it passes. This Congress is weak and has no spine or stomach to do its job. Are they even in session?

Texas Tech Red Raiders (sponsored by BET365)

I mean, that's a bad headline look but the details don't really support that he was betting on his team. I hope they wouldn't nuke his career over it.
There’s just no room for betting on teams you’re involved with. If his punishment is only losing his final year that’s a pretty good trade off for what he was doing.

No way he should step foot on another college football field as a player. Question is will the NFL want anything to do with him?

Even in D3 football where I played they couldn’t have made it anymore clear what betting means for your eligibility. This kid knew the risk.

2027 IL DL Brayden Parks (Verbal Offer)

Is anyone as surprised as I am? A good midwestern boy, saying no thanks to the Buckeyes? Don't believe (but also don't KNOW) that the two-deep at either of those schools is any better/worse for him than the others. Can anyone drill a bit deeper on this? A free trip, with all the trimmings, to Buckeye-land is a hard thing to pass up, but either he did, or tOSU feels good enough about Fakatou to discourage him. Recruiting is still a very baffling business, that simply has to be experienced, not understood. Thanks in advance, Go Bucks!
OSU is favored to land possibly the #2 and #5 DTs in 2027. This kid is seen as an afterthought. LJsr is cooking if he can land 1 of them, but also throw in that OH DL, Reynaldo Perez is also a serious consideration in the class as the 2 or 3rd DT, and OSU is still in a good spot at DT

I'm really hoping for this too, every time they have Underwood go on a designed run and take the RBs out of the game is a win for their opponents. Underwood has not shown that he has the intangibles to be a constant running threat. It'll work great against scrubs like Western Michigan and UTEP where you can get by on athleticism alone, but most of their B1G schedule will corral him. If they think they are going to get what they got out of Dampier (a true dynamic runner) against much weaker Big 12 defenses with Underwood against their schedule this year it's gonna be fun to watch.
That’s what I’m betting on too. I find it difficult for the OC to all of the sudden be a spread, pass heavy or even more balanced in one year. Especially since athletically Underwood is superior to any QB he’s had, also a QB who is not built to run as a primary run threat. he would be more successful in a spread offense. Marshall should be the happiest offensive player. I’d be pissed to be a WR

Deciding When to Retire

You young folk have the Roth IRA's to work with. Those came along after the time when funds (and tax consequences) were available. Anyway, got our 31-year-old daughter interested, about five years ago, when she received a bequest from a relative. Had (made actually) her make investment choices, so she could get 'some skin in the game' instead of just doing it for her. This generation will in all probability not have retirements like we have, as it seems to be 'matching' 401(k) up to 6% of salary. Much different than earning credits based on length of service, and income combination. Ergo, you gotta have a bigger source of funds in retirement. There are some nice ETFs and Index funds out there that will grow, and hopefully provide a level of income for retirement that's not making one scrape together food/rent money.....

People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

As I have had two knee replacements, don't listen to those above! Jumping off anything, 4' or not, means that there is zero 'give' to one's knees. It hurts like heck, and gives one those lightening bolts of pain that shoot through you. Go to the edge, sit down, and slide off gently....
Yes, I baby myself these days. No more prancing around like Lord Flasheart

Chaz Coleman (DE Penn St., transfer to Tennessee)

What kind of a name is Chaz for a DL. Chaz sounds like a 4-alarm douchebag in college who keeps golf clubs in his trunk and talks about having a Rolex and a black card before he's 30.

Thank you, Miami of Ohio, for taking so many Chaz's (Chazi?) out of our applicant pool.
