Texas Tech Red Raiders (sponsored by BET365)

I keep seeing people saying that this is not sustainable but as long as there are people winning to pay it IS sustainable. The only way it stops becoming a thing is if the people behind the money start saying no. Maybe the market will eventually have some rollback price wise on these players (especially for the unproven players who seem to be getting insane pay days for having done nothing), but I doubt the big money players at these programs ever just totally stop writing checks. It's likely to only get worse before there is maybe some sort of setback correction.
This.

It isn't about ROI. CFB is a playground for billionaires. They are buying racehorses to fuel their egos.

Lane Kiffin (HC LSU)

Candidly, Lame Kitten says outrageous things, about most anything, ONLY to gain the spotlight. Heck, nobody really even pays attention to the guy, unless he's doing something stupid. Probably the most he's stuck around, was when Saban took him in as OC, giving him a chance at Bama while things blew over from his Tennessee and Southern Cal misfires. He talked his way around at Ole Miss, and now is ensconced in the LSU maelstrom. Time will tell if he sinks or swims. Heck, he could get Oberon in to help him coach.
I would definitely have given one to Merle Oberon about 80 years ago, but I don’t think she’s much of a coach.

The current economic model is not sustainable. I seriously doubt any of these transfers will generate enough incremental revenue to cover their cost. But as long as boosters are willing to keep writing checks, I guess it will continue.

Exactly. And when they get burnt and walk away, the list of suckers will shrink quite quickly

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

New Transfer Portal rules for CBB are in effect immediately.

1 transfer window right after the season ends. Kinda makes sense.

The bowl tie-ins and semesters starting in January for those wanting to join for spring practice make this a mess for football.

Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

I've never actually made one.
I've eaten some damn good ones though.

guess I need to learn how to make them.



list of animals we've caught/captured here so far:

scorpions
rattlesnake
desert box turtle (wonder if they test like red eared sliders and snapping turtles)
a random ass peacock
somebody's pet rabbit
an albino toad

seen a few ground squirrels and prairie dogs, but never caught them.
same with Jack Rabbits (bet them hindquarters are really good wrapped in bacon)

my dogs ran off some coyotes


animals we've never found yet (except in frozen section of grocery stores)

fish
crawfish
shrimp
crabs
alligators
No armadillos?

RB Ja’Kobi Jackson (Official Thread)

Re: Ohio State is adding a seventh-year senior to its running back room. Jackson becomes the second seventh-year senior to join Ohio State’s 2026 roster along with Northwestern transfer tight end Hunter Welcing. The Buckeyes didn’t have any members of the 2020 recruiting class on their 2025 roster, but they will have two in 2026.

Just sayin': Definitely a "veteran"....:gagnam:

Winning with elder statesmen had worked for Indiana, might as well try it out here. It would be great to not have such a drop off in production while Jackson takes a breather.

I've never seen you make a bisque, there a reason for that? Too girly?

No good fishing holes in the west Texas desert?
