Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I agree. Yet another example of the government coming to fix something that wasn't broken.....like they did with getting into the student loan business. What a cluster fvck that turned out to be. To quote my beloved Ronald Reagan.......
About everyone of these dudes is going to get fucked on taxes and ruin their credit
Wow damn good point lol

Yup, college sports is now a shit show. My interest in watching any sports at the college and pro level whatsoever is waning. Already have basically went cold turkey on all pro sports.
And now the NCAA is considering unlimited scholarships by ditching the 25 schollie annual limit.
They would keep the 85 schollie limit. Teams would find a work around for that too.

When clowney was a jr USCjr lost to whoever. I was pissed on Monday. I started thinking wtf am I so mad about teenagers playing a game. I quit spending 500 min per home game and don't invest nearly the same in time anymore. After the covid shit I'd rather siting my own yard and watch the birds hit the feeders and my dog chase squirrels
Corporate takeover of student sports. I can't wait for the 1st high profile assault,fraud,rape etc to hit these corporations. I'm a casual fan now. I can see that declining. The NCAA is going to be a farm team to the top 10 in transfers.
@jtrain or someone said that yesterday and I agree 100%
Exact same way bro. 5 or 6 years ago, I quit investing financially as well as emotionally, and am much better off for it. I still watch my Gamecocks on Saturdays, but that's about it...& if I miss a game for something better to do, I don't even care.
I have gone back to the 80s and listen to it on this 1985 transistor radio while I fish w cane poles. In some ways covid was an eye opener on how to live again. Unplug and gtfoutside

I felt the same way until Venables came back. He is reeling me back in.

They still at least be able to saying they're winning, unlike Texas.
Shut your mouth, Iowa. And to add, we have a natty more recently than Land Thief, so there's that.

Wait until you see the Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning versions after the imminent multiple nattys on the horizon.
