Adjsting rearview mirror to remove speck.

He's currently in the best possible position for him. He gets some nebulous credit and never has to shoulder any blame. He's always been thin-skinned but he appears to have become increasingly so and any pushback seems to rankle him. Maybe it's different returning to the crown jewel of his...

It never gets old.

I'm sure he can find a way to get Diego a couple more years of elgibility.

The way things are going, he will also get another five years of eligibility in the process.

BYU's isn't Bob Jones University, but they are strict on this stuff and we've seen colleges that would side with the athlete (cough, cough, Baylor) in instances like this one. Yes, this goes beyond BYU's code of conduct in addition to it now being in the criminal justice system. I think what...

Add to that the recovery time for football players. They need at least 4 or 5 days for physical recovery which makes multiple games in a week impossible. I threw out 32 teams if they are going to go beyond the current 12 simply because I abhor byes, but 32 would stretch the season out further...

Either that or 32 with a 30+2. No byes!

If there was a coin fliip as to whether a recruit who could play on both sides of the ball would end up, Mason always tilted toward the offense in making those decisions. Matt Spaeth was a DE/TE. He took highly-recruited Edge Alex Daniels and tried to make him into an RB. Marion Barber III...

You've never used the McKenzie brothers "mouse in a beer bottle" scheme to try to score free beer?

Blast from the past! Any substantive replies automatically go to the Off Topic board.

Given the delay, can he now go into the portal and follow Kiffin? I am truly kidding, but nothing would suprise me anymore.

Practice squad pays less (2025 season had $13,000 per week minimum) and if he ends up there he still gets to hang out in the QB room and build up cred as a future coach or he can just bide his time until he decides whether to pursue a medical career. Of course, he has to make a practice squad...

$64K means playing naked. I would demand another $100K to wear a uniform.

Agree. He's probably going to be holding a clipboard 90% of the time, but for $840,000 per year I'd stand on the sidelines with a clipboard naked. The league would probably kick in another million a year to force me to wear a uniform. It would be a tense negotiation.
