the other thing to watch is how many team rules about social media use are going to be flaunted by these guys and gals now. I think quite a few programs currently don't want their players using it at all. but yeah GD_American is right, the team rules could easily become a Title IX issue.

Poor Richt. It was obvious the job wasn't for him anymore toward the end, so he happily retires to eat Cheez-Balls on the beach and spend time with his family...and then his health fails him.

Yeah this sucks big time. However the poo poo went off the rails, he was a fine coach and pretty much universally loved by the community. I know most coaches are total shits, but he at least really seemed like an alright guy.

There are a lot of scenarios that would've kept him in Athens IMO. Since NIL is the word of the day, Todd Gurley not being put on the shelf for half of '14 is one of them.

247 put out an article talking about what different UT athletes were doing since the NIL stuff opened up. It’s your basic stuff like Cameo, game apps, endorsements, things like that until I got to this part:

quote:

Walk-on wide receiver Grant Frerking is already an established businessman. He's the CEO of Metro Straw, a multi-million dollar pine straw and mulch installation company that services residential and commercial customers in a region ranging from Atlanta to Charlotte to Nashville. Frerking, a fifth-year senior who joined the Vols in 2017, on Thursday had two of his teammates endorse the company on social media. Jones on Instagram and quarterback Brian Maurer on Twitter shared a Metro Straw promotional graphic.

Lmao what? I haven’t been able to find out much about it and I’ve never heard of this guy but apparently he started laying pine straw when it was like 14 and grew it into a massive business. I love that he’s paying the other players for endorsements.

get the coach's son or nephew or something on as a kicker or punter or general clipboard-holder down the depth chart, have him run a business as purely a shell company, let them then pay for NIL for all the teammates that matter.

can't prove the cash isn't coming from the coach and therefore the school! you know somebody is already working on how to run this.

Former FSU wide receiver Tamorrion Terry one of a bunch of people indicted for felony murder stemming from a nightclub murder in Terry's podunk hometown in 2018.

The charge doesn't mean that Terry pulled the trigger, but that he was at least present when the felony happened.

A lot of people checked out on last season, and this season seems like a blank slate. Kinda reminds me of when the Carolina Hurricanes of all teams won the Stanley Cup after the '05 lockout year. Thus, congrats in advance to Mack Brown and the Heels

It's not a hot dog eating contest if they get to eat the buns and dogs separately and get to dip the buns in water. No one eats a loving hot dog that way. It should be called the Nathan's Buns and Also Some Weiners Eating Contest

I'd imagine like most obscure sports/competitions there's a whole lot of accumulated knowledge and thought put into it that would sound like gibberish to most of us.

I'm sure there's a science to expanding your stomach enough to take that. Just one that I don't really care to learn when I watch guys demolish food once a year.

If there is one physical trait that humans truly excel at it is long distance endurance. We aren't the fastest or strongest but we sure can keep running longer than anything else.
