We were spoiled by Hartline, but even then, the explosion of NIL recruiting makes it harder for everyone. I think in the current state of the game if you can get 1 upper tier guy it's a win, then whatever comes of the rest you can bring in is just a big bonus.

Holy Sh*t!! 50 TFL's, 16 Sacks, and 8 Forced Fumbles?!! That is crazy numbers, especially for a Soph. I know it's in Md, but still, those are insane stats to put up! Bet he'd look good donning the Scarlet and Gray.

I just thought of another one. Giving your kids fruity names.

What is the vibe on Dakota Guerrant, have they cooled on him? Does the staff prefer Easter over Guerrant? Or does this have more to do with the price tag, or each of their interest in TWFOSB?

Haven’t recruited Guerrant in a while and it’s likely due to price tag, he’s been trending to Oregon for months.

Monshun Sales taking a sudden official visit to LSU today, that along with his agent reaching out to Texas earlier this year to recruit him makes me believe he’s 100% going to the highest bidder. Don’t see him ending up at Ohio State.

I didn't have a chance to bet on a blown lead yesterday, but here's an addendum that specifically applies to the Reds.........when they score 12 runs in one game, go ahead and bet both the under and a 3-4 run defeat in the next game. Shit.....they won't score 4 more runs the rest of the series. I've already put a parlay on the under, the Mets by 3.5, and a HR from some dude who only has 2 so far this year.

No o e EVER gets over “gambling addiction.”

I disagree. I know someone who has. Although you can say his was an unconventional version of it. He was in finance and gambled through his by impulsively "betting" on the riskiest investments. He realized that the way he operated at work was the same way a guy at the race track would bet on horses and got help at a gambling anonymous group. Basically, he said that he had no motivation to work unless the threat of losing everything was always lingering in the background, but now he no longer works in that manner and has secure investments set up for the rest of his life while still being motivated to work without unnecessary reckless risk. He also said he has been able to settle down, marry and have children since working on his gambling impulses because before he did he could never get married because he was always worried in the back of his mind that "he could do better" so he couldn't commit. I thinkgetting help, which led to him having a family, has helped him with his gambling impulses.

But I do agree it's very difficult for people to kick this addiction and is pretty rare to overcome. But I wouldn't say that people never get over it either.

My hot take is that there's a conspiracy to name kids these new nonsense names (the Aiden, Jayden, Hayden) to make us forget our traditional classical names (William, Robert, John, Matthew, George, David....).

I feel like CFB is better served by anything that speeds up the inevitable "next" phase, to mean post NCAA so in a longer game kind of way I kind of wish TT would have gone all the way.

I have zero worries that this guy would be throwing games or shaving points with the microscope he'd be under.

CFB or in the NFL for that matter.

I have mixed emotions about that 'next phase' thing. I mean, it's eventually going to happen... but I guess I'm in favor of it being a little more graceful than a trainwreck... but yeah, call a spade a spade, right? It's nearing horse abortion levels as it is right now.

I think a lot of people are "look at me" people. They want people to talk about them. "Did you see that guy's car? Whoa!" or "Check out that guy's goofy hair style." In this case, "Your son's name is Brandon? Oh, sorry - Brandyn? Gotcha." See? I had to give extra attention to that name.
I see some names in my kids' school year books. The one year there were multiple girls named "Queen" and multiple boys named "King".
Very much a "look at me" thing.
