Great. Just bought Temu stuff, and delivered. It's not the size It says, and It's cheap material.

I get It Though.... Keep on Keepin on...

I will say,... It Is what they promise. Just order a little over the normal size you prefer.

Derrick Barnes saw this post and said “Not on my watch, partner.”

If buying clothes online, I always assume they may be coming from another country and I always check to see if there is a size chart.

Those who watched the Florida State-Georgia game tonight must not get distracted from remembering that James Franklin remains a fraud.

Yes sir. It really Is a trap shoot. It's cool stuff, just figured I'd put it out there.... I'll delete If you feel like it's necessary...

Edit- If you're big and tall... Order 2 times the size you expect*

What if you are shriveled and tiny? Asking for Irishnd31

It doesn't matter to me.
Go on with yourself.

Way to go FSU.
You had one fucking job.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

 

[forkbeard3777]

Also if UGA is just that good, why weren't they in the playoffs? Even after losing to Bama, shouldn't that committee have seen they were leaving out one of the top 4 teams?

Well, they are easily one of the four best teams. College football, again, has a flawed, subjective system.

 

[NDWarrior]

So happy to see Taylor Decker fuck up the 2-pt conversion for The Lions by not reporting as an eligible receiver. Ever since that shot that damaged Jaylon's career, any mishap by him brings me happiness...

 

[BeauBenken]

Also Kirby:

Added that the opt-outs "absolutely had an impact on the game, 100%" and mentioned during the trophy presentation that we have a playoff system where not everyone has the chance even though they earned the right, referencing Florida State.

FSU was playing without a third of their scholarship roster.

Not sure what last night really proved. Both teams at full strength, UGA wins, but by 60? Keep dreaming.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Do you consider it a character issue when a coach leaves for a new job, like Parker did, for instance?

It's a great question, but you're pissing into the wind by asking it on multiple levels. Athletes have been painted as selfish and coddled for decades, and now their mental and physical toughness gets questioned more than ever as well, and it's 100% by design and has been incredibly successful due to outstanding messaging. Give credit where credit is due. You hammer a narrative into the brains of as many people as you possibly can and it becomes popular opinion. To the point of truth. This new era of college football gets all of those old narratives reinvigorated along with some fresh modern takes that will become the newest platitudes.

Dabo Swinney is allowed to be as self serving and individualistic as he wants. He says so, and a large swab of the American public agree with him. Everything and everyone else is the problem, but don't you dare have the audacity to mention how much money HE makes. How dare anyone mention this.

So no, it isn't a character issue when coaches go to and fro as they wish to do so. They're not the help.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

No respect for a coach who abandons the team before the bowl. I believe in commitment, loyalty, character, and keeping your word... player or coach.

So that should include Nick Saban who abandoned his MSU team after abruptly resigning so he could take the LSU vacancy before their Citrus Bowl vs UF?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Anyone who thinks "oh this would've been competitive if they just had Keon Coleman and a couple of their other guys!" is deluding themselves

Anyone who thinks it's as bad of a result if Florida State had the missing third of their scholarship roster might also be deluding themselves.

What’s UGA‘s best regular season win? Fans should just come out & admit that some teams get a pass when they get beat while others must go undefeated & win their CCG. UGA had the entire season to plan for the SEC CG w/ their weak ass schedule as a perfect runway. Problem is they rarely got challenged so once they did, they pissed down their leg w/ mental & physical errors costing them the crown. But they have a roster riddled w/ 4-5 stars so they meet the “eye test” so let’s put them in based on that + the hindsight that they destroyed a 13-0 team that looked like a squad full of scabs from the NFL strike years. I think UGA is arguably one of the best four teams in the nation. Problem is that championships are decided by subjective opinions.

12 teams will not lend itself to more objectivity either. We're going to be overloaded with 3 and 4 loss SEC teams now on the back end of this who won't merit inclusion, but could very well get in and play well enough to win a game or two depending on timing and circumstance.

Further, if anyone is looking for March Madness type stories in an FCS playoff type of format, you're not going to get many if any.

[DomerInHappyValley]

After what happened to Jaylon I get why these kids are opting out.


If they really wanted to end the opt outs then bowl season needs to be like March Madness and I don't feel comfortable asking these kids to play more potential games then the NFL plays, so it's not a valid solution.

 

[BeauBenken]

LOL. That this guy knows about. I bet those kids get hella extra compensation if they make the playoffs or win a title.

There are literally players making more than many coaches now. Maybe not the Sabans and Smarts of the world but there are players apparently getting 7 figures. Stop shilling for these psuedo-professional athletes.

This shit has literally ruined collegiate football and will probably cause irreparable harm to all college sports. The kids get compensated through a scholarship if they actually choose to use it.

A scholarship doesn’t come close to compensating them for the time and effort that comes with being a D1 football player. That doesn’t even factor in the amount of money in the TV deals, sponsorships, etc.

Who put the gun to any of their heads and forced them to play a violent dangerous sport. A certain percentage of human has always chosen to be gladiator. NIL beats the hell out of the loser getting thumbs down fed to the lion. If the compensation aint enough don’t fucking do it. Soon this will be resolved by the nil stuff just tweaking contracts to force them to play bowls or payback their paycheck. I am used to the wahhh but but the kids weirdo pseudo erotic jock sniffing but it morphing into trying to be their union rep is getting disgusting.

Stop shilling for them?

I'm rooting for them.

There is compensation and then there is commensurate value. A scholarship isn't it for those in P5.

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

There are two sides to every argument. The tens of thousands of kids in this country every year that cant afford a college education and will fight an uphill battle for the rest of their lives might say otherwise.

I say this not to support one train of thought or the other, just that perspective is everything.
