Someone needs to correct me, but unless one is an NBA lottery pick, isn't $4 mil pretty much what a 2nd round pick would get? Also sounds like a .250 hitter asking for $40 mil to fail three out of four times....

I said no such thing!

I'd guess as long as he's learning, learning, and doing it will all work out eventually. Certainly passes the 'look test'. Hopefully the guys who come in, sweat, lift, learn, and love to hit will be rewarded with their own starting position. Get some reps this year, and starting LT next year. Go Bucks!

WOW! thanks for reminding me what the noise in the shoe is like. It's been so long since I've been able to go there time has dulled my memory. What excitement in the air. Thanks so much for posting this.
What I would give to be able to drag this tired old worn out body to the 'Shoe once more.

Rice arrived at North Carolina with much fan fare in the class of 2022, but plans to leave Wednesday after playing in six games this season between offense and special teams.

The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder played 12 games in 2023, mostly on special teams, and played in a pair of games in 2022. During that time period he was charged with speeding and underage drinking and driving.

Rivals.com had Rice ranked No. 24 overall, No. 1 in Virginia and No. 2 at tackle in the class of 2022 coming out of Lynchburg (Va.) Liberty Christian Academy. He played in the Under Armour All-American Bowl and was invited to the Polynesian Bowl. Rice didn’t allow a sack in his final two years and had 219 pancake block en route to being a two-time all-state selection.

Rice picked North Carolina over Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Virginia and Virginia Tech.

Land-Grant Holy Land question:​

Which Ohio State football record is next to be broken?​

Brett’s answer: Max Klare will break the single-season tight end receptions record​

Currently, the Ohio State single-season record for receptions by a tight end is the 55 catches Billy Anders made all the way back in 1966. After years of tight ends not being featured all that much in Ohio State’s passing attack, lately there has been an uptick in targets for the tight ends. Cade Stover hauled in 41 passes in 2023, while last season, Gee Scott Jr. made some big catches during the Buckeye playoff run.

The newest tight end on the Ohio State roster is Max Klare, who transferred into the program from Purdue following the conclusion of the 2024 regular season of the Boilermakers. On a Purdue team that was dreadful last season, Klare was one of the few bright spots, catching 51 passes. It’ll be interesting to see how Klare plays when surrounded by a functioning offense. Opponents of the Boilermakers last year didn’t have much to prepare for aside from slowing down Klare, and he still was able to record more than 50 receptions.

Matt’s answer: Jeremiah Smith will break the single-season receptions record​

Brett said it right there in his response, “Obviously, the top target for Ohio State in the passing game is going to be Jeremiah Smith.”

Brett knows it, I know it, you know, every defensive coach and player in the country knows it, every NFL scout knows it, and yet none of that makes one single, solitary bit of difference. As his cousin, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith said, Jeremiah has the ability to be the best wide receiver of all time; not best Ohio State receiver of all time, not best college receiver of all time, but actual, legitimate GOAT wide receiver.

While J.J. will clearly get massive levels of attention from opposing defenses this fall, with Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss, and the rest of Brian Hartline’s room, defensive coordinators will have to pick their poison. So, I fully anticipate Jeremiah getting his fair share of catches.

Last season, he hauled in 76, which is 19 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba record-setting 95 from 2021. But what’s funny about Smith’s 2024 total is that he wasn’t even No. 1 on the team last year; that was Emeka Egbuka with 81.

2030 World Cup: CONMEBOL proposes expanded 64-team tournament​

Alejandro Domínguez, the president of South American soccer's ruling body CONMEBOL, made an official proposal on Thursday to expand the men's 2030 World Cup from 32 teams to 64.

FIFA is aware of the proposal that was first introduced in March by a delegate from Uruguay during an online meeting of the ruling council of world soccer's governing body.

"We are convinced that the centennial celebration will be unique because 100 years are celebrated only once," Domínguez said during his opening speech at CONMEBOL's 80th Ordinary Congress.

The 2030 World Cup is already set to be the most sprawling edition with six host nations spread across three continents.

Uruguay was the original World Cup host in 1930 and is scheduled to stage one game. Paraguay, Argentina, Spain, Portugal and Morocco are also co-hosts.

If FIFA approves the move, it would create a tournament of 128 matches, double the number of the 64-game format that was played from 1998 through 2022.

However, UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin has called a 64-team World Cup "a bad idea."

Critics of the 64-team proposal have argued it will weaken the quality of play and devalue the qualifying program in most continents.
