No nice way of making it right but D League schedule starts beginning of October with preseason. It ends before the end of April, even with their version of the playoffs. That is only a seven month schedule or about a max of 30 weeks. Makes their pay about $10.83 an hour and it varies in terms of compensation regarding per diem and housing. Still pretty atrocious.
Don't NFL practice squad players make at least 100k? That is outrageous.
Every A&M fan/coach this morning:
That's interesting stuff. Would be cool to have a Hokie doing something
internationally.
If we are going to come down on kids who decommit, we have to come down equally hard on programs that overrecruit and send out non-commitable offers.
Way more so. The program and coaches will be just fine if they have to go to their backup option for a recruiting slot. The kid who gets an offer pulled now has to rethink his future.
Admire his work ethic. Hope he makes the NBA.
That Mike Weber play was horrible in overtime... he looked like an absolute duster. I can't believe they didn't play Nate Schmidt over him..
I just saw ESPN posted their article on Facebook. This is looking like it could get rough for Moorehead.
That's almost as mesmerizing as the Kyshoen blowing up Devin Street gif.
Almost.

I sense a TKP drinking game in our future
early signing period comes up after recruiting hooplah: 1 sip
emma gif: 2 sips
"Just trust in (insert coach/AD name here)": finish your drink
etc etc etc
which reminds me. Anyone else remember the tailgate fever drinking game lists?
EDIT: apparently I have the memory of a goldfish. Exhibit A
time to bring up the NCAA needs to have an "early commitment period"
You do know that you have to play in a game before the Natty right? So we should probably watch that one too.
The thing is, in the college recruiting process, the recruits do run the show. It's the one time in a football player's life where they are the final arbiter of where they want to play football. They have to be courted by prospective programs that are interested. It is very much a sales pitch.
We've been over the pros and cons of a verbal commitment before. The current iteration of college football recruiting, with its practice of overrecruiting and non-commitable offers incentivizes giving an early verbal commitment to ensure your spot at the table.
Also, so far as the NCAA is concerned, a verbal commitment does not exist. The LOI is the only yardstick the NCAA uses to measure commitments. You can make any argument that you want about "being true to your word," but that cuts both ways. If we are going to come down on kids who decommit, we have to come down equally hard on programs that overrecruit and send out non-commitable offers.
And I can guarantee you that if I were a head coach, I'd think twice about if I wanted Aaron Moorehead on my staff after that little outburst. You are the paid professional. Act like it in all aspects of your job.
Always the shiplap
Like meds that really annoy you? Or suppositories that are a pain in the ass to take?
Then again Baron has enough pass rushing skill for all three. The trade off is he gets trampled in the run game
With the question marks in the secondary this year we need to get to the QB as fast and often as possible. Mihota may be ok against the run he just doesn't have the burst like the other guys you mention.
Should this not read 2016-17? It's kinda late to schedule last season's bowl games. :)
That happens a lot.
See:
Colts, Baltimore Indianapolis
Rams, Los Angeles St. Louis Los Angeles.
It's a shame that people are probably eating breakfast while reading this, or I'd post the bowl they'll be going to.
Mihota looked to be stout in the run game last year but we'll definitely need Hill or Gaines (oops) to provide some pass rush
