Re: 2024 Roster Updates
DL and OL are the most over inflated positions in the portal market. Why? Because everyone needs them and they know this and leverage it in negotiations. Getting one isn’t guaranteed quality as that carcass has been picked and cleaned. Is the quality in FCS not good enough for us to pluck or are we...

Re: RIP Dickey Betts
I was lucky enough to see him on what I think was his final tour as Great Southern. They did an unforgettable version of Stormy Monday. Always hoped he could reconcile with Greg Allman and play with the Allman Brothers again. But that wish died with Greg’s passing. I hope the guys who are left, Warr...

Re: UNCC looking to get R1 title
Some if not most on this board won’t like this at all but it’s my experience. My daughter started at App and graduated from UNCC. Her experience at App was less than stellar. Her experience at UNCC was very good. App. seemed focused on social engineering and UNCC was focused on the course work. Jus...

Re: Civility Request/Challange
I will be all in on this request. Its a lesson I have to learn over and over again but the last 4 or 5 months have been hard for me and the lesson I have learned again is that the one thing this world needs more of is kindness. That doesn’t mean we can’t disagree or debate. But we don’t have to do i...

Re: September 7, 2024
I’ll be happy with the 2024 Sunbelt Championship. Then you’re one of our fans who should have a pretty good chance at actually having fun watching our games. That’s what I’m going to try to do, be happy with a good showing in the Belt and if we win a P5 or two, great. But having to make the playoff...

Re: September 7, 2024
Stinks to already be in playoff mode (can't lose a game) but that's the reality. Seriously can we lose to Clemson, run the table and be the highest ranked G5? We probably would not get any votes until we go like 9-1. This is why the only fans that have a chance at being happy on a regular basis are...

Re: September 7, 2024
Cade Klubnik is not that dude. He may develop into that dude with another off season but he struggled mightily at times in 2023. I feel as good going into this game as I did about A&M, Penn State and Miami. There’s a very real unease in Clemson’s fan base and a big loss to Georgia to open the seaso...

Re: March Madness
Watched two college B-ball games this year and I have to say watching those guys from State was fun. And the interview after the game with Burns was great, “when playing basketball stops being fun, I’ll stop playing basketball”.

Re: Who left first, players or coach Kerns?
So we had a B-ball program for one season that could have garnered support from our fan base and now it is gone. So why even try? Unregulated NIL is going to completely destroy G5 sports.

Re: TIGMA NIL
The collectives are going to become a way just to wash money. So nobody will know if a gambling outfit is paying a player. But as I understand it right now Draft Kings or MGM could pay NIL money to anyone and there is nothing that could be done about it anyway. Others have mentioned scholarships. Th...

Re: NCAA loses ability to control NIL in court
I thought the whole reason for and behind NIL was the 3 words in the title. If an athlete's name is used in a video game or on the back of a jersey or if he represents a company in a TV, radio or print ad he can receive money. How on earth are the collectives both legal and how do they fall under t...
