That didn't really work for Duke and Mensah. Duke thought they had him locked up to the extent he couldn't leave, but somehow he did.

The drinking age change sure cut down the need to drive to Hudson. But we knew some older guys on the Augsburg campus that would deliver the goods for a small carrying fee. Four cases of delicious Pfeifer's for $10 at Zipp's Liquors on Franklin or Skol down on 26th and 27th.

I was thinking "There goes Lansu's redshirt!"

I think with all the concern around public safety, the fake ID is probably enforced fairly seriously. My guess 99% of the fake IDs relate to underage drinking and youthful mischief, but the other 1% has more than a few bad actors in the subset. I was 19 when the legal drinking age in Minnesota...

I think replacing both Raiola and Johnson is a pretty big task for Nebraska. Colandrea is good and can be a threat when running, but I don't think he's as pure a passer as Raiola. I don't know if running back will be a plug-and-play for them, but Johnson did well there.

I wasn't trying to tie to NIL and I'm guessing the percentage of athletes with a decent NIL money gambling heavily is less than the non-athlete group. Sorsby is going to be a poster boy for the need for tighter policing of athletes' behavior and it may move parents to monitoring their kids'...

Anything is reversible, but as you say, the political will won't be there largely because the consumer base doesn't want it to happen. I doubt anyone would lose a legislative seat either nationally or in a state on this issue, but (and I say this as someone who used to answer legislative snail...

The market has expanded into the younger demographic. I've known some adults with gambling addictions, but there are age limits at casinos. Now all you need to bet is a phone and a revenue source, which slides things down the age slope.

Both The Atlantic and Harper's featured a story about the rise of gambling on the cover in the few months. Both stories are good and showed how it isn't all the difficult to go down the rabbit hole and chase your losses. Lots of high school and college guys diving in and the irony is the...

Do we get asterisks for Athan Kaliakmanis (Washington--7th round), Jacob Clark (Raiders--UDFA), and Brady Boyd (Jacksonville--UDFA)?

Saw a list that had Jalen Logan-Redding signing with the Rams.

I guess that task will fall to Nick Kallerup.

When it comes to the draft, you just never know. I really liked Walley's chances last year, but I will admit I didn't see him going in the 3rd round. With Eastern, I hoped he'd get drafted but it's always a coin flip because none of us know what scouts and general managers are thinking. Glad...

You can never tell with the scouts. Nussmeier is still on the board and he looked to be about a 10 times better college QB than Kaliakmanis. Pavia and Aguilar still on the board as well.

From my perspective, I think the perception that the coaching staff has a clear vision and is organized is contributing to the uptick in interest and optimism. Whether that transfers into a better W/L remains to be seen, but it's been more than a decade since we've had a coach that can project...

tOSU loaded again. 12-2 is a great record, but somehow the feeling is that the whole is less than the sum of the parts.

I used to follow the draft fairly closely but the yakking about it from a bunch of guys living in their parents' basements just became too much for me so I've pretty much tuned it out. I did a search regarding Eastern's status and most everywhere has him as a Day 3 or UDFA guy. One guy had him...

He just needed to employ Robert De Niro's approach in The Fan. One freaky movie.

Buford T. Justice or Eric Cartman. I wonder if this was a case of SWI (Standing While Intoxicated)?

Reynolds was your prototypical unicorn player. Some really good skills but mixed oddly. I enjoyed watching him play even though early in the season I thought he was going to be a turnover machine. He righted the ship.
