Random college football thread

Vegas would hate him

 

The apprentices of the dojo cleans his ass for him

 

watching random highlights and TN St's kicker hit a 62 yarder this weekend

 

And he hit a 51 yarder and the GW FG, too

 

The Titans need him

 

The “wefense”

 

I wonder what he did.

 

Probably something to do with Eric Gray receiving benefits, if I had to guess from the smoke a few months ago.

 

THIS is a kicker

 

Seabass clearly got around during Fiesta Bowl weekend in 99

 

5'5"

285

 

Crazy to read he was 185 before covid

 

If he gets his weight behind it ...

 

I had a kicker like that once.

mine went 350 though and he could boom it with all that weight behind the ball.

 

They were not putting money in his McDonald's bags, he was getting the real deal, burgers and fries.

 

Justice Thomas is taking a stick to college football amateurism today. He doesn't usually ask a lot of questions, so I think it is a good indication that the NCAA is getting a real eyeballing from SCOTUS.

 

A good day to re-read one of Spencer Hall's better pieces.

There is money someone earned over here, visibly earned through labor and special talent. There are people over here who have it. Something stands between them.

To extend that point to its logical conclusion: either what is going on is a vast confusion of what constitutes capital or it is theft from every single football player that plays this stupid game to enrich a coach, athletic director, and the university. This is a system that willfully commits one of the greatest insults possible: making someone poorer, then claiming that poverty as a necessary, virtuous, and good thing.

That's a lie, and anyone who's even been broke for a short time knows it. Pay them. Pay them what you owe them. Pay them because the worst American tradition is taking things that aren't yours and calling it destiny or virtue or principle. Pay them because there is no nobility in keeping someone a dollar poorer than they have to be in exchange for honest work. Pay them because any system that deliberately makes people poorer is one of designed cruelty, even at this relatively small scale. Pay them their [dadgum] money.

 

I believe that is one of the Rules of Acquisition:

286) When Morn leaves, it is all over.
287) When Justice Thomas speaks, you done [uck fay]ed up.

 

The NCAA is in deep shit. Justices may all see this the same way.
