Jahmyr Gibbs (RB Detroit Lions)

Close to home?

Close to home?
More complex than that….he seems like a great guy, but at time of recruitment outta HS, Bama and OSU were worried about grade issues and potential eligibility…..he bounced around HS’s a lot bc of his home life and actually experienced homelessness for stretches at a time.

Ga Tech became the best option when Tashard Choice took on a father role for him. Tashard Choice was RB coach at Ga Tech and has now been hired to be RB’s coach for the Lions, reuniting them.

After (2) seasons at Ga Tech, and not having significant issues, he proved he could handle the rigors of being a college athlete and Bama ended up landing his services.

It’s actually a great story in the end….

Thread of BP kids

I joined about 7 weeks after BP got underway. I had a 9 year-old in primary school. She is now a doctor. My oldest kid was studying for an electrical engineering bachelors degree. He finished that, a MSc in IT and an MBA and has kids just a year younger than his sister was way back then.

Knee pain...getting bilateral knee replacements was one of the best decisions I ever made. Did a 7.5 km speed walk today.

Mountain West Conference (official thread)

From out here, it sounds like folks were going to paint over "Mountain West Conference" with "Pac 12 Conference" logos. Since every team but two fleeing the Pac 12, guess it was either steal teams or die. The local fave, Fresno St folks are happy that they finally can call the Pac 12 home (has been on a wish list forever). Never mind that the name and fame is very diluted. As to 'moving up' Grand Canyon U to MW status, kinda a ho-hum thing. Have been to that campus, and had some local HS talent go there (one kid applied, and had an e-mail acceptance the next day). Guess we'll see how many lawyers get into the mix, and how many lawyers get rich. Depending on where the court is held, might go with some popcorn and watch the show.

2025 January through Fall Camp BMW Thread

In fairness, OSU offered to push this years matchup to Sunday evening since NFL isn’t playing yet and it’s a holiday weekend.

Texas declined and said they’d prefer the original date/time.

I agree in general though….OSU shouldn’t be beholden to Saturday noon games in every top 5 matchup.
Yea that means nothing. There should not had to been an offer. This should have been a 7pm start time after the Semi finals
