Re: Leaderboard 2013 - Week 4

9 back . . .

Seems insurmountable :?

At least there are 12 weeks of play time left.
If I can make up at least one per week, I can win.

Re: VPI's helmets

They are a bit odd, aren't they . . . maybe you can scan them with your smartphone, to check out what their value is. (or maybe a going rate for the player you scan)

My father used a belt, too . . . My mother, however, was a master of her craft . . . she used a wooden cooking spoon. I can tell you, she sure cooked our butts something hot (mine & my brother's). That is, until my brother ticked her off just enough, that she broke the spoon over his hide [maybe...

Re: The Suspicions of the Suspicious, Suspiciously Surface . . .

Only athletic scholarships. The rule is, an NCAA athlete is not allowed to hold a paying job while maintaining an Athletic Scholarship. Rationale . . . to prevent players from being paid more than the average wages usually associated with said position of employment. And to prevent players receiving...

Re: Fantasy Conference Competition: Update

Reviewing week 3 scores . . . Donovan had 12.5 . . . which means you scored a grand 1.5 this past week.

At least you did better than your week one total :lol:

Re: The Suspicions of the Suspicious, Suspiciously Surface . . .

Now, that much I agree with.

If a player finds himself marketable, then by virtue of working age, he should be allowed to utilize his name for self worth.

Only in that the market profits the NCAA by these players performing on the field.
Then again . . . if they didn't want to do it, they can always opt out . . . a slave cannot.

I'm not sure who's spinning harder . . . the NCAA standard --- or those that rage against the machine.

Re: The Suspicions of the Suspicious, Suspiciously Surface . . .

That's true . . . Some players get professional position coaching during the off season [supposedly paid for by their parents] that costs as much as $100 an hour. Equate that to 3-4 years [5 in some cases] of Div-I Collegiate skill training {noting that many of these coaches actually have NFL coachi...

Re: Eric's 100% Inaccurate Bowl Projections: Week 4

I do wish the Board Of Regents at UH would all get Alzheimer's then we can get people in who know what is involved in running a DIV. I school , and maybe get JUNE JONES back. However that would take too much money to get him away from SMU. Well, it may just be that neither Hawaii nor SMU will be Di...
