…and he’s not arriving by helicopter either.

I used to play Midfielder for the Utes back when I was a student there, during our “club” days. I LOVE Lacrosse! I’d totally go if I didn’t live all the way back here in Philadelphia. And last I’d heard, tickets were only $8 anyway.

That said, depending on my work schedule/work load, I’ll DEFINITELY be making at least ONE trip this season to…[Read more]

You didn’t predict anything. You just made some vague comment about having “sunshine on a rainy day”. And that didn’t mean anything. You were exposed as a know-nothing fraud, so don’t try to take credit for Olaseni’s signing. You didn’t know.

As disappointed as I was to see Tuttle transferring out, the acquisition of Rising sure smoothed things out nicely for us. And as had already been mentioned, his 235-lbs frame spells “durability” — something we haven’t had at the QB spot since Travis Wilson.

That said, in order to fully exploit Rising’s talented arm, we’re really going to need…[Read more]

How would the grad program exemption apply for someone who’d only completed 1 semester of college? If Rising were to have loaded up on classes via completing 20-hrs/semester, at best he’d be an “academic Junior” by the opening kickoff this Fall.

I don’t see any possible way the NCAA would deem Rising eligible for the 2019 season.

Where from Philly are you? Are you still there?

The answer to your question is “yes”. Sports like Gymnastics, Ice Skating, Diving, and Freestyle Skiing/Snowboarding have somewhat of an “arbitrary” scoring system, where 5 judges can see the exact same thing, yet award 5 different point levels. And it’s long been reported that east coast judges are more generous with their scoring. But…[Read more]

Per ESPN, they pay out “nearly $4 million/yr”. But that figure doesn’t include the additional $50 million /yr in super-secret “imaginary” revenue that nobody outside of zoobnation can corroborate, but that everybody INSIDE of zoobnation knows for a fact it’s real.

It’s hilarious that over on cougarboard, the zoobs were all excited about his potential back in December after they’d offered him a PWO…

Getting Darren Jones’ signature might be the most important signing of the 2nd signing period, but I don’t believe that he’ll be able to contribute immediately. Because while at 6-9, he has great “length”, his 185-lbs reflects poor “size” for “Pac-12” play. He’ll get lit up by every LB and FS/SS in the league. He’ll need to get into the gym.…[Read more]
