Just about time to buckle and lace 'em up for another Natty run.

 

NIL Money?

Friday Night Lights?

Expanded B1G?

What's going on in YOUR Conference?

Who's hot and who's not?

YOUR thoughts on the Natty?

Coaching changes?

Favorite players?

 

Think about it.  You're thread too so jump right in there!  :)

There ya go again @JohnJ  😂

 

Guess it's about time since ESPN revealled  their Natty insights the other day.  Crazy isn't the word for it.

 

Georgia, Texas, Ohio State and Oregon?  Whew!

 

Being a Buckeye and hearing all about the recruiting class is funny.  They're loaded but after spending 20M in NIL money?  Seriously?  Impact on your wallet? 

 

The NIL HAS stepped EVERYthing up price-wise for the consumer.  Almost out of the average beer drinkin, cigar smokin know-it-all fan's price range.  I told ya crazy a few years ago and it's now full game ON across the board.  Even HIGH SCHOOLS are raisin ticket prices!  Yea, have fun w/that too.  :)

 

Wait, the NFL impact?  Buckle up buttercup!

 

Friday nite high school games competing with college games on TV?  That'll be interesting.  Oh wait!  How's your cable TV package werkin for ya?  Got that one figured out yet?  I've prolly gotta get a cube for 75 a month, + this and + that, then there's the peacock?  Quit it!  Where's my lil transistor radio w/the ear plug?  😂

 

So, that being said, who's gonna win it all this year?   You're thread, speak up!  I'm not covering your conferences.  You're there not me.

 

Conference realignments?  12-team Playoff?  A one loss season not getting into the Natty?  Don't bet on that one anymore.

 

@JohnJ might wanna make a note.  Aug 31 in Atlanta, Clemson & Georgia go at it.  Georgia's only lost 2 games since 2021 but "on any given day."   😂

Hate watching Live Sports with even a one minute delay. That would be acceptable now, but 24 hrs or more? :sad: Gone to radio over the pc for my hockey team 80 + games a season, not sure I'd do that with the terrible memories of that place and the demise of my ......

My son is a freshman at UK this Fall.  He got season tix to football in the student lottery, but not basketball.  His roommate got basketball tix.  So, they may swap a game or two.  He attended the game in Lexington Friday night and had a great time.  Except for the 2 plus hour lightning delay and game being called halfway through the 3rd quarter.  They paly South Carolina this weekend in Lexington as well.  Pundits are calling for an 8-4 season, but I think they could go 10-2.  One of the strongest defenses, and a new QB who is not afraid to leave the pocket and run.  Go Big Blue!

They're picking up the pace.  Certainly have their work cut out for them in the SEC..  If they can put it together they should or could have a very nice season.

 

You know how kids roll with tickets.  Let the bartering for the games begin!  I can hear it all now btwn 'em.  Noooo, I'm keeping that game.  Well then I'm keeping this game.  lol

You got it figured out.  Stay away from going though.  When the youngest daughter was with the OSUWBB team I'd have her get freebies for me in the family section.  EVERY time I felt obligated to give her 50 or 100 spending money. 

 

Ya stay away they have to think twice about asking for cash.  Remember when ya used to have to call home and ask?  Today?  Ya get a stinkin text msg!  Ya deposit money in their account then have to text them back and tell them the money is there.  THEN all ya get is a "Thank's Dad love you" text back?  Seriously?  You're doing ALL the work!

Michigan looked like dog doodoo.

It is what it is.  Jimbo built his team, cheated w/Stallions, schemed thru the NCAA to win the Natty and accomplished his mission.  Then he threw a big party with everyone and packed the house and all the boys got to gloat about how the sleep-overs really did work during their recruitment process. then moved on to play in the NFL leaving the bench inexperienced.  They'll be ok though.  Afterall, they're blue!  :)  

 

He regained his God-like status in the NFL by doing so, got hired and now gets to hang w/his brother John again on Sunday's,  Dad and mom are happy cause they both might get to meet in another Superbowl someday and they're hoping Jimbo wins this one to even things up then they can all digest their families Xmas dinner's again without all the gloating and laffin.  😂

 

Gotta say one thing though since I'm rollin here.  Jim was one helluva QB for Bo and he loved the man.  I watched him carve up OSU on a Saturday afternoon in the horseshoe and they kicked us.  He had a great game that day with just one minor problem.  He drove down to the game and locked his keys in the car when he got there.  Yea, sunk.  AAA for locked keys on gameday @ the Shoe?  Hope ya packed a lunch.  blues QB?  Wait.  What?  Next day at the earliest especially after the OSU loss that afternoon? They did show 2 hours after the game and got his keys.  

 

So ya thought he was quirky in his khakies?  Nope, that's Jimbo.  He could care less.  He came back home to Coach at his university.  Can't blame him for that at all.

 

How do I know all of this?  Long story short, I know his dad & mom and the whole darn family.  Banged w/his dad Jack and have had a lot of laffs over the years with 'em all.  Jack grew up in Crestline, Ohio, which is 9 miles away from me. They're all great people even their lil sister.  Jack's one proud dad and I can't blame him a bit.

 

Here's a perfect example.  Any of the #knowitalls ever wonder about how Tom Brady got hooked up w/John Harbaugh?  Think about it.  Ppl are crazy.  It's a job, you're a gladiator on the weekends.  Gimme the money.  Where did Brady go to college, who was the defensive coordinator?  Do ur research.  

 

I'm not worried a bit about the dog doodoo.  That will get ironed out prior to "The Game" in November.  Next year?  Everything's gonna change w/the scheduling and 18-team conference.  Braggin rights?  It's just a game and it's ALL about the money!  THEE Game might be in October next year.  Deal!  lol
