re: Is Florida football a One-Hit Wonder?

[quote]Yes, per capita and overall are two different stats. Very good. I was quoting total players. Thanks for the analysis.[/quote].
Yes and a similar sized population, a little less than 5% larger, produces 4 times as many NFL players as Florida does. Why is Florida lagging behind so badly? ...

[quote] There’s more NFL players from the state of Florida than anywhere in the country.[/quote]
The ONLY reason this is true is because there are 22 million people in Florida (or whatever the number is. Per capita Georgia is tops for producing NFL Talent with Louisiana a close second followed by...

It took Florida what, 60, 70 years to do what Georgia,LSU,Alabama,Auburn,Georgia Tec, TULANE,Ole Miss….am I forgetting anyone….oh yeah, Kentucky…..had done at least once and most of them had done it multiple times. It was the lack of air conditioning. Once AC was invented in the 1990s folks could...

Sounds like a bearing. Worse case scenario is it comes apart and the wheel falls off or at least destroys the differential. Nothing good. May also be a u joint. Neither are overly difficult to repair or costly, unless it comes apart and then it’s a whole nother issue.
With 110k on it fix it. ...

Last time around (1996?) the home and home was a normal home game, not split. That’d be hard to do. It’d be cool though.
It won’t be surprising if th WLOCP doesn’t go home and home and stay. I hate it but it causes scheduling issues and impacts recruiting. I think it ends soon...

re: Are bullheads good to eat?
Posted by AwgustaDawg on 5/23/24 at 10:29 am
Sound like MASSIVE bullheads. Depending on the kind of bullhead they'd either be world records, close to world records or about half the size of a world record....which would be akin to an 11 pound largemouth bass,,,,
We used to eat them all the time and they were fine. If it was mixed bag of...
re: Whoa, nellie! Take a look at Fox Sports' lineup of Friday night CFB games in 2024
Posted by AwgustaDawg on 5/23/24 at 10:21 am
You can look at that schedule for Friday night and with the exception of UCF the fact that you could plan a CFB on Friday night and some folks would show up is indicative of why CFB is not great in those areas. Friday night is for High School football....where you find High School football meaningf...

Sorry to hear that. Being laid off is never fun. Hope the severance is decent and you find something better soon.[/quote]
I disagree. I have been laid off so many times it is refreshing. I learned about 5 years into my career that I could make a living with a 9-5 job or without one.....

I like cheap beer and expensive beer. I like craft beer and mass produced beer. The best beer is one someone else paid for.
All that said I do not have a favorite craft beer because I can't remember one that struck me as memorable. I do rem...

We are the only country which pairs academics and competitive athletics. And athletics is perhaps the only profitable part of a university. The goals are different for a university and its “semi-pro” athletes. The fans are stuck in the middle.[/quote]

You're on the right track, IMO. None of this has anything to do with education or sportsmanship. At this point, it should either go back to real students competing as amateurs, or go full professional. Universities should have to sell their athletics programs, facilities and related intelle...
