After the trauma of Matt F$#@%%^ Ryan game in the rain I cannot tell you how satisfying the superbowl where he choked was for me and my childhood trauma. We all get it if youre part of this fanbase unfortunately.
Does inconsistent consistent the same? Asking for a friend.
Who knows. It's CMY. He could lose the rest... He could lose a few and then go on a patented March run... He could win most of the rest...
I love CMY, but his teams are incredibly inconsistent.
Cheap scotch is essentially paint thinner
Losses I expect there are Duke, Louisville, SMU and probably UVA. The next three to be worried about would be Clemson, UNC and Miami.
Games we have to win are BC, GT and FSU. Any loss in those three unless they get way better as season goes on puts a huge hole in our chances. All three are outside Top 100 in NET Rankings right now.
Others that earned quasi-legit NIL (mostly from established social media platforms rather than talent per se)
1) Arch Manning
2) Angel Reese
3) Bronny James
4) Cavinder Twins
5) Livvy Dunne
6) Shedeur Sanders
7) Travis Hunter
8) Paige Bueckers
9) AJ Dybantsa
10) Diego Pavia (as much as I hate it)
11) Bryce Young
12) Sunisa Lee (gymnast)
13) Dillon Gabriel

Like God intended
I always thought scotch tasted like paint thinner and avoided it at all costs. Then I had my first taste of a top shelf scotch and definitely changed my mind about it. Can't afford to drink the good stuff, and just better off with beer, but I'll sip it if it's there.
At one time i think Rivals had Vinston Painter as a 5* but later got downgraded
Yes, him too. I was thinking Dadi Nicolas but knew that wasn't right; it was Gayle i was thinking of
Clark was estimated to have about $7.5M in NIL deals at Iowa mostly from national brands. It was about $3.1M her final season which is honestly why I thought she would stay another year. Her WNBA salary as a rookie was like $76K. She signed a bunch of endorsement deals but still think she could have made more at Iowa that next year.
She had national deals while in college and she is one of the handfuls of athletes that should have had national deals just like Tebow and Vick and a number of those but maybe like 3-ish players a year kind of thing.
Funny thing, isn't that the exact opposite of what Foster and Beamer did in the early days when the defense was terrible? They made safeties into line backers and line backers in DL and made the defense way faster.
I don't really care how they do it (within reason). Just want the defense to get way better.
They say the best offense is a good defense
Yes but its way better for a conference to declare bankruptcy than a school. If the Big Ten goes under then the Big 10 can take its place and if that goes under then the Big 18 is right there and only a small lone to be added if the choose the right font.
Anything over $600 has to be approved by the clearing house.
And fwiw, the average deal across all NIL deals was something like $850 i believe. And the median was something like $2500. It was in a thread earlier in the season, or maybe even prior to Sept.
Oh yes, that is right. Now I am up to 3 people or groups that have had a real NIL ad that I have seen. Had forgotten her. I'm sure there are more, but it is a tiny fraction of the pay-to-pay people getting paid for their NIL.
Oh, and have to ask, was that before or after she went pro? Guessing it started before. But if it started after, then it should not count and we are back to 2. I just cannot remember when I saw the ad with her in it.
James Gayle? I mean how's he not on the short list?
Yes, also Macho Harris and Marcus Vick were 5* in atleast some services, and that wraps up the list i believe.
Eh. Reminds me of the great Smirnoff debacle of 2001 in Cancun. I literally don't remember 2 days of that trip.
Would probably include Jason Worilds in that group as well...
I figured you weren't serious, but I wanted to say what I said in my post regardless.
one defense will play defense, and one defense will play offense. Brilliant

I would wager we will be playing a big front 4 or 5 in the upcoming season with this many defensive line players this is refreshing! LFG HOKIES
