Nico to UCLA?

[volfeeva]

This comment from the family about the O-line and receivers suggest that JH and crew can snap their fingers and get star 5 talent at every position. You think Daddy Nic is the only one wanting to improve the O-line ? How insulting

 

[Ratvol]

He fits in better there anyway. Good luck.

Yep. They live and breathe overthrown passes.

 

[warrior]

Nico is playing UCLA looking cheap, slow rolling,, hoping another school jumps in with a better offer. He better be careful, or he will be sitting at home.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

You'd think if it was about the offense and the need for a better oline and receivers then why ask for more money? When that extra 2 mil you wanted could've went to.. i dont know maybe better oline and receivers...they overplayed their hand and now doing their best to make it on us like we were the problem, his dad is an idiot

 

[vol445]

Says it wasn’t about money but the offense. Full spin mode. Lol

Truthfully it was about not getting his helmet split by sec talent

 

[OrangeVolMan]

I think a lot of states that have an income tax make pro athletes pay the tax when they come to town to play games. Cali isn’t the only one, but I bet it just hurts more.

Correct. I know NFL players pay tax based on where game is played. For example, a Titan player would have to pay taxes in CA if they played the Rams in CA for that part of their salary.

 

[DaddyChad]

Chris Low is saying that the deal isn't done, yet.

It will get done. He doesn’t really have any choices outside them imo. The fact it isn’t done tells you a lot about the money not shaking out the way they thought it would.

Ummm Ohio State split a couple of those helmets, UCLA plays them.

 

[SpookyAction]

Maybe we can just trade and UCLA can have Nico and we get the App. St. QB.

I would take that as a win.

Looked him up. He has 1990s Interception numbers. He's not ready for the SEC.
23TDs 14INTs, 18yds rushing/gm.

 

[volman128]

They'd be better off spinning all this and saying he wanted to be closer to home. Because it would make some sense and would actually be believable. As it stands, his dad is just an idiot and Nico will probably realize that at some point.

 

[PanicVol]

So he went to a worse team, for equal or less money. Poster child for how NOT to do NIL.

 

[Godfatha]

There is no PAC 12 anymore. They’re in the Big Ten. Easier schedule for sure but much less talent around him.

Wouldn't say easier schedule. Most anyone worth a damn in the PAC-12 went to the B1G.

 

[Godfatha]

I wonder if Nico and his camp realize they have to go back to Columbus next season for another beating. Probably not, considering his processing speed is Internet Explore-slow

Netscape Nico

 

[Old-n-4getful-Vol]

Hope the dude ends up on his back more than a 10 dollar crack ho.

Or a Kardashian

 

[rekinhavoc]

May the bird of paradise crap on his birthday cake.

 

[OrangeInKy]

What if he doesn’t even win the starting job there?

I’m sure a few will be exiting.

I just learned that Matt Hasselbeck’s son is a quarterback there. True freshman I believe. The Appalachian State transfer. I am sure we’ll leave. I’m still not sure. Nico ends up at UCLA though. I will believe it when I see it.

Copy of an Andrew McCutchen check somehow leaked a while ago showed the cut every state takes.

 

[VolCalls]

Nico’s new head coach.

Yes. Nico’s family spent a good deal of someone’s money traveling to all of his games. The cameras showed a pretty big entourage at some games. At least they would save some travel expense for UCLA home games, if that’s where he ends up landing.

Netscape Nico

, I remember as a young kid thinking that Netscape was “State of the Art baby”. Maybe one of you TN folks should make a short montage video of Nico and Co with that dial up tone playing repeatedly in the background! I can’t accurately represent it in a text but you know exactly what I mean if you remember Netscape and Explorer well. Ding Ding Ding erreeieeeee etc……… I was pretty young, but that systematic sound will always be ingrained in my head. It was the sound of unlimited knowledge and scrolling chat rooms! I loved it as a pre-teen, although those chat rooms got me in trouble a few times!

 

[patrick]

quite possible

First time for everything LWS replying to one of my posts.

I’m honored.

Always interested in your posts/insight.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

So if this not final is Nico playing UCLA or another school for more money.

Haha yeah I'm old enough to remember dial up, and America Online, and someone calling in the middle of your browsing session and getting disconnected. If I had video skills I would definitely edit the dialup sound when Nico was back in the pocket, because it felt like a 28k baud modem trying to process a movie clip.

This tune is in my head. Kind of like Runaway Lane. Just need the audio...............

Nico Shuffle~ The Boz

Nico missed the boat that day he left us Jack
But that was all he missed and he ain't comin' back.
In his Daddy's car, a juke joint car, he made a stop.
Long enough to take a couple mil hit off the top.

Next stop, La La Land, Nico put the money down and let it roll.
He said "One more job oughta get it."
"One last shot 'fore we quit it"
One more for the road!

Nico! Whoa oh-oh-oh!
He's for the money, he's for the show.
Nico's waiting on the dough.
Nico! Whoa oh-oh-oh!
He said "One more job oughta get it."
"One last shot 'fore we quit it."
One for the road!

Nico be runnin', havin' a great big fun til he got the note.
Saying toe the line or blow it and that was all she wrote!
He be makin' like a beeline, heading for the borderline, goin' for broke.
Saying "One one more hit oughta do it."
"This ole team, ain't nothin' to it!"
One more for the road!

Nico! Whoa oh-oh-oh!
He's for the money, he's for the show.
Nico's a-waiting on the dough!
Nico! Whoa oh-oh-oh!
One more job oughta get it.
One last shot, then we quit it.
One more for the road!!!!
