I never thought I’d see the day - colleges paying players

Something like 80% of pre athletes end up broke. Look at Anthony Walker from Kentucky.

Giving them money early will only hurt them in the end. Wealth is built over time. Its almost a natural law.

Very few turn out well, Karl Malone is a great example.

In the music world Duff McKagan is a good example.
Or if you are a mid 20's smoke show, banging a 50 some yr old dream team coach. That's another way to get rich.

Add in the Portal and all the transferring and now you end up with a “team” that you don’t recognize, have a difficult time remembering the players’ names and basically don’t care about.

Just have corporations adopt the teams. The Indiana Eli Lillys and the Purdue Scott’s Turfcare Grassblades.

Don Fischer — “Goode passes the ball back out to, uh, number 15, who is, uh, fvck, where’d that damn roster sheet go again . . . “


And none of these employees are going to class, ever. No degrees. Just disabuse yourself of any such notion.
The Purdue Nutrina sweet feeds. or the Purdue nipple dips.
*edit- Teet dips.

If this coming season doesn't result in names on the jerseys then nothing will.

I showed you a pic of my wife. She's 39 now but still pushing Sandra bullock level.

I know how to fight.

Best\worst thing I ever did was teach her some jui jujitsu, how to use bladed weapons and shoot.

Even if I wanted to, I could never cheat. She'd put me down and get off on self defense

I agree, you out kicked your coverage 100% !

Funny thing happened this week at work. The mother of my high school aged employee came in to give him something. The older guy that I have him paired with told him.... "If she ever becomes single, you're going to have to start calling me daddy, DAAAAAYMN!".

I nearly passed out laughing so hard.

That is for sure. Probably 150%, although, at my 20th, class reunion, apparently I was the hot item. I wasn't there but all those thirsty women I thought didn't want me in high school wanted to ride the night out in a hotel room. 😉
I guess my wife had a good reason for keeping me home.

Joe, go check out the other place, you know what im talking about, Hell, everyone probably does. Great fishing story

This will piss you off. Kind of hot chick I make jokes with in the lobby and the elevator and the bldg cafe. So we have a tornado warning. I come down with my fat bald partners. There she is with a group of girl coworkers.

“OH MY GOD THIS IS THE GUY I WAS TELLING YOU IS HILARIOUS!!!”

Well. How bout that you dirty girl. So outside our office on the bldg across the street are lunatics standing on top of it looking for a tornado. I go look at them!!! Let’s go see. So she and I head out. Big bldg. takes a bit to get outside. She’s laughing. I’m laughing. The second she gets outside she takes out a vape.

What. The. ****.
 
The NBA gives these guys all the tools they need to maintain life-long wealth. They make them go through an orientation of sorts trying to get them to learn how to save, hire the right financial planner, budget, all that stuff. They also talk about hangers on and people looking to take advantage of them. The problem is it's probably hard to get 20 year old to listen to all that stuff.
I'll be honest. I never disliked you as a poster but you annoyed the hell out of me with politics. I know it hasn't been long but im working on myself A LOT, and trying to ignore things I cant control.

I would like to apologize to you personally for anything I've said that offended you or anytime I've been an ass.

What you are doing in you brothers name is commendable. Any fan of IU is a friend of mine, no matter our differences.

His politics are absolute dogshit. Amongst the very worst. But he’s in a crew of the left with many redeeming qualities and solid as oak.

Some id love to fight

What's wrong with a vape?

Im getting a weed pen tonight from my wife after she gets off work.

Tangentially related, I went down on a girl in college that smoked, I swear her snatch smelled like an ash tray.

I am granite when it comes to the original Bill of Rights. Other than that I can negotiate.
 
Direct payments. To 17/18 year old frosh. Why bother with the pretense of school. Can you imagine some assistant prof making $68k a year asking a 17 yr old making $1.6 mil a year where his homework is today. That prof going to his dean. Uhhhh, Prof Smith, Lamar is more valuable than 50 prof Smiths. Stop bothering me.

I played D1. Guys split schollies and were pumped for cushy jobs in the bookstore. Newbies might have the cafeteria gig but the foreigners were thrilled bc it was free food.

Road trips. $15 for breakfast and lunch $25 for dinner. Olive Garden salad and breadsticks players scored a profit. NCAA tournament games you got bumped bc the ncaa kicked in money too. $25 for lunch and $45 for dinner. Living large!!!!!

Now nil money and direct school payments. Multi millionaire “amateurs.” Pros bc they’re paid now but they still play like amateurs

I don’t like it
Nba 2.0 now. It stinks.

I really do appreciate you saying that. I’ve gone through similar things here where I’d let something bother me and I’m trying - and learning - to just let that stuff go.

You’re definitely on the list of people I’d grab a beer with. As Murt has said, maybe politics would be off the topic list though.

That said, no need to apologize. We all get frustrated here sometimes (I definitely include myself in that number). Despite that, I actually thinking the back and forths here help broaden my outlook and perspective on things. So thanks for being a part of that.

Put on that bright red hunt’s club polo knockoff Levi’s not prewashed and head down to the Rosa.

in fairness If a restaurant has made something better than ponderosa’s Texas toast I’m all ears
There's a Ponderosa in Vandalia, IL right off the highway. Almost stopped there for lunch yesterday headed back from STL.
 
how did you guys do?
Lost to a Colorado Springs team Friday 1-2. Late goal on one of those deflected (non-spinning) straight-down, crossbar ricochets that never would have been called a goal in the old days, but now with the VAR looks these refs see on TV, (despite the fact that they don't have one), they call any of those "goals". Played them 50/50. Good team.

Smoked by NWI (Northwest Indiana) Saturday in the downpour. They have a girl that gets US team call ups that killed us.

Beat Dayton 1-0 yesterday in a meaningless game.

Somehow Colorado Springs upsets NWI to advance from our group, and our rival Indy 11 wins in a triple tiebreaker against Gallagher and Utah Surf to advance to the Sweet 16 tomorrow from the other group. :rolleyes:
