fifyWhat about his brother Kris?
Scotty died of a heart attack, correct?The "pie" that they are destroying was exploitative, and destructive, and left 98% of the players with jack [ Finebaum ]e, while making many others rich. Your own beloved Scotty Nix died at 53 directly because of football. Many others of us were left with crippling injuries. The million dollar coaches and admins risk none of that, and realize nearly all the profit.
"Oh but they got a degree."
BS. First, many do NOT get a degree. Second, most get a degree that isn't worth diddly, in Sports Management and such. Third, most could have gotten a much BETTER degree without 40 hours of practice, travelling every other weekend, getting their brains beat in, etc. Lastly, many don't need to have gotten a degree in the first place, as many worthwhile professions don't require a degree.
"Oh but that's a choice they made. They entered into a CONTRACT!" Oh, really? A free choice, not sold to them and their parents as something it was not? Give Steel a break, and open your eyes.
From the player perspective, football sucks. It's human cockfighting. When you're 19, you don't know any better - it's great! So FUN! When you're 35, or 55, you realize it was a giant waste of time, caused you to do things you would never have otherwise done (like gain 50, or 100 pounds), and left you with nothing but a few memories and a bunch of injuries which get worse over time.
So, what EVER the players can get now of what hopefully is a shrinking pie, more power to them.
Andrew Chamblee is scheduled to be on campus May 8th/9th
I believe he is the guy we really need to shore up the O-line.
To me, that looks like he’s absolutely taking a shot at TCU.He knows he put a Horned Frog on his announcement to shmew, right?
He also put a clown next to his "time to work", which makes me think either his emoji game is very weak or mine is.To me, that looks like he’s absolutely taking a shot at TCU.
SMU did a great job. They visited his house the day after he declared and offered same day. It took TCU another week to contact him.
He didn’t even visit either school, so I wouldn’t be surprised if SMU money whipped him.
You could say that about everyone. The guys that we sign or keep, we very most likely money-whipped them, that's how we signed them or kept them.To me, that looks like he’s absolutely taking a shot at TCU.

Believe he intends that to mean The Joker. Subtle, but different. They seem to say the Joker did work. I’ve come across this before from other younger dudes…I don’t necessarily get it but I believe that is how they intend their referencing.He also put a clown next to his "time to work", which makes me think either his emoji game is very weak or mine is.
Good point, I agree. It probably won’t be much of a surprise when we see a collective bargaining agreement in CFB in the not too distant future. Disgusting!You could say that about everyone. The guys that we sign or keep, we very most likely money-whipped them, that's how we signed them or kept them.
That's what it's all about now.....money-whipping, and little else.
Sad that the slaves now have the same choices that anybody else in society has. So sad.
You people are something else.
You all are in favor of capitalism except when it comes to your favorite hobby.
Maybe if you were getting your knees and back destroyed and your brains beat in while the coaches are paid millions and the schools are building billion dollar stadjia, you might want a piece of that pie too, eh?
Steel is not specifically calling you out, PC, but this group of porcine couch-sitters as a whole are a bunch of morons.

I kind of agree with your mindset. That’s about all CFB fans have left.I know this might not be popular, but for every 10 people we have transfer, we have 50-60* that stay. I know it's frustrating, but I am trying to be as optimistic as possible for all the Mad Max's and Tomlinson's that stayed despite depth chart/competition/whatever. Those are the people I'm invested in, just like they are invested in the University I spent 12 years as a student and employee at. Those that leave, it's their choice, they're gone and there's nothing I can do about it.
*numbers made up completely to make me feel better about my attempted optimism....
It is hard for me to go off on him when he will be trying to block our DT who transferred in from UH or our DE who transferred in from........yada yada yada.You could say that about everyone. The guys that we sign or keep, we very most likely money-whipped them, that's how we signed them or kept them.
