Zia Combs (RIP) showed me bowl gifts once, I think one of the rose bowls. I remember it was gear like hoodie sets, backpacks, a watch that was like...not incredible, like a speaker or something, and i think some per deim but they got an iPod touch color when that bytch FIRST dropped. I filled it up with music for him.

And thats the granddaddy of them all Lol..

How we are STILL favored over Oklahoma I have no idea.The committee and Vegas have more faith in Bama than their own team and fans.

It’s because Midtier is ass.

OU has talent on the offensive side, which is how they still score on big plays and actually look like a functional offense in spurts.

OU pretty much has everything but a QB. I would pick them to win the whole thing if they had a QB.

It's interesting how these programs don't value bowl practices anymore.

Like, an unintended consequence of NIL and player movement is the programs themselves don't value coaching the players up after the season because they're ghost anyway....

Just give a kid 12 practices who was a fringe contributor to get more practice tape to send to schools once they hit the portal. That's my only guess.

Yes, Matt Sluka and his whole ass 11 attempts and 8 completions

There are roughly 554,298 athletes competing in NCAA championship sports across all divisions (as of the 2024–25 academic year). Good luck with that. And don't forget Title IX.

You talk to most coaches they feel like they dont get enough time with the players as is, I think its just more the case the players getting money now and they have no incentive to play, really no upside. Its very short sighted because alot still got NFL dreams but gonna be working at enterprise getting crazy reality check..

Like Bowl games used to throw them a t shirt and mayyyybe a playstation.. straight scraps, even the bench warmer freshman getting 300k+++ now, they dont need a random trip to Orlando anymore.. I remember I was at a training session with my people before draft and he was talking about vacation for him and his girl.. Older retired nfl dude was like we was broke AF in college and didnt get first vacay til nfl 2nd season.. You got freshman buying they mom cars and such (yea might be fronted by agent and such but thats another story we can get into, college "agent" game is crazyyy but I guess its foot in door for a hustler if they got the right motive).. Keep your t shirt man, its christmas break and Im taking my fam on vacay before winter training..

Wouldn't younger players want the opportunity to get some burn even if captains or whoever weren't interested?

@Bigwhite2498 did texas fans ever come to a consensus of whether you missed the playoffs b/c you scheduled Ohio St., or whether you missed the playoffs because you lost to Florida? There was a helluva debate for the last couple weeks.

It was both

That was wild, i never lose sleep over the Irish tho



nikka lined up and told psu get some

He’s that nikka down here, he also know where the bodies are, so he’s always good and nikka inked 3 year 9.3 i think he will be fine,

So you're accepting of a black head coach getting hosed? Very scUMmy of you
