I don’t see anyone, anywhere defending Nico. I’m just not going to disparage all athletes based on the worst version of one of them. That’s supposed to be saved for the political threads.

Just from what you posted, they threw out the 25% number. I'd say that's right in line with what we see from coaching staffs. Seems like ND loses 2 to 3 coaches off their 10 person staff a year. You see bigger losses with successful teams and even bigger when whole staffs are fired. I'm not...

Show me a football program that loses half its players every year. I guess we can discuss women’s basketball but that’s not why I’m here. Noticed the new system has decreased the number of early entries into the NFL draft. Isn’t that a good thing? I remember people lamenting that as a big issue...

Assistant coaches do this all the time. Looking at Kelly’s first staff. Cooks, Denbrock, Wariner, Molner, Diaco, and Alford all had stretches of 3 different schools in 3 different years. I’d like to see some actual stats on how often kids are transferring more than once. I’m not going say the...

This is the biggest problem with throwing big money at high school kids, who only choose your school for the cash. I think all of us fear the other extreme with ND, where kids want to come but the money is not close to being competitive. No matter what the money situation is, you need kids who...

Not sure how things go at Notre Dame but UT had another player (Boo Carter) threaten to bolt after the season if his "demands" weren't met. Think it was part money, part getting snaps on offense. I'm sure it (getting more money) happens here but isn't made public.

Yeah, I am. Too bad he crashed, was setting up to be a freak showdown.

I just can’t see him riding away from MVP on flat terrain but he is Pogacar, so anything is possible.

RIP Clint, otherwise known as actor Nicky Katt.

Merck: WVA wins today’s Paris - Roubaix, how say you? Edit: Uh, I meant MVP

I like this system, helps a place like Notre Dame who puts culture first. Let the SEC teams try to win with cash and me first players.

I hate when people call him a freshman. Dude enrolled early and also redshirted while playing in five games and starting in the bowl game. He went through 2 Spring and 2 Fall camps before last year. If CJ Carr starts this year, nobody is going to refer to him as a freshman. This is nothing...

Nah, I prefer the highly ranked, me first types who shrink when they get punched in the face.

He’s overrated. Not afraid.

My UT buddy said they gave him more money after the season but wants to renegotiate again. UT said no and now he wants to go to USC. I hope all that’s true.

It’s bad enough choosing Michigan once but after leaving that cesspool he chose to go back? That’s like Andy crawling back through the sewer line so he could return to Shawshank. Guy obviously has issues.

Agree. That's the major flaw I see in the logic of bringing manufacturing back. Pretty hard for a company to spend millions and millions on moving manufacturing from Asia to the US, if the President may change his mind on a whim. Or if in 4 years the other side gets in power and completely...

Was he Dennis? Watched a lot of those when I was a kid.

The major problem (IMO) is the extreme power of the Presidency now. The Republican party is essentially whatever Trump feels like doing. I don't remember one person ever having so much sway with their party before. No way these tariffs go through if it was up to Congress, but they've ceded that...

I know the TN legislature got rid of sales tax on precious metals. Think it’s been within the last couple of years.
