It was just revealed that our rejected not football coach Schianos Rutgers (state university of NJ btw) football team has ordered $450,000 worth of Doordash and Ubereats in the last 14 months, all on taxpayers dime. RU has a $73,000,000 DEFICIT athletic department....

Yall think our UT guys can order whatever they want from restaurants, delivered, and the UT coffers pays for it?? This is, after all, the SEC and our football program makes many millions rather than running a 73MM deficit AD.....

Didnt one of our RB's get in NCAA "trouble" for getting money to buy tacos?

Yep...Foster. Weird dude, part pterodactyl as I remember from his musings.

Back of the napkin math here (actually in my old head) but $450k in 14 months is about $1200 a day maybe? 85 scholarship football players...so each guy averaged $15 a day, 7 days a week fast food delivered...on top of their cafeteria open 24hrs a day, protein shakes and power bars from the nutritionists?

Thats not considering that school is only actually in seasion maybe 8 months a year due to summer, spring break and almost a month off at Christmas/new years time right? So they really averaged over $20 per day...per player...when actually on campus? I never went to college except to visit friends/ gf....but the 24hr cafeterias we ate at had pizza, cheeseburgers, fries, etc and the food was pretty good. Mostly at UNCW and ECU...i would have to think the food at UT and RU would be even better as flagship state universities....

Yall dont think its kinda crazy that these kids spend $20 or more per day of taxpayer funds on DoorDash etc? That seems insane to me, but I am getting old too. If our AD had a 73 million dollar deficit and kids were doing this...I would be extremely pissed like people in the liberal paradise of NJ are honestly.

with all the sports dieticians out there i find it insane that these kids are eating fast food to begin with. You'd think the days of Barkley screaming at people with McDonald's breakfast flying out of his mouth would be over...

Tennessee DMV has always been great for me. Only been a couple times to the one on Chapman highway in Ktown but both times it was quick and easy. Dealt with a nice lady both times.

NCDMV is the exact opposite of that. Minimum half day spent if you dont make an appointment ( a month or 2 out plus) sometimes can actually take all day long to get thru the lines...often to find that you do not have exactly the right form from your insurance company, or your bill of sale notorized, or that you're shirt is blue and he/she isn't dealing with blue shirted customers today.... these things happen to even those already very weary of our DMVs, who go online to their website to try and find out EXACTLY what forms, IDs, stamps or blood samples, huge sums of $, or DNA samples may be required to just accomplish mundane tasks like registering a vehicle one purchased, selling a truck or even a boat trailer , renewing a drivers license etc ... not to mention the fact that in NC we have mandatory vehicle inspections every year to pay for, and if your car/truck has a cracked windshield, cracked tail light, a** check engine light** on...you have to fix whatever is wrong with your ride and make it pass inspection and not throw any error codes via the OBD2 socket in all vehicles made in this millenium. That is a whole separate Hell...can cost you hundreds or thousands to fix a "problem" such as a bad Oxygen sensor that you had no desire or intention of paying to fix....because your vehicle runs fine and money does not grow on trees. Been down that street a time or 3 with work trucks, which many times are high mileage and not worth putting money into....but the snide former hall monitor azzholes who clearly take great joy in ruining normal folks days (and budgets) will force you to bend to their will...or you will receive large fines, not be able to renew your tag which gets you pulled over and in traffic court, as well as suspending your drivers license. Which also results in great pains and more fines...especially if one does not KNOW their license has been suspended until they get pulled over for a tail light being out etc. ( lived that one personally. Good times)

ALL in the name of revenue collection...as usual. ALL of which comes with a condescending attitude from the humans one has to deal with after most of a day spent waiting for your number to be called, huddled in a huge waiting room full of angry folks just like me....

Saw this one today though. Have to admit, it is a first for me. The DMV are such azzholes in NC...they actually shut down ...their own DMV. That has to really help with wait times. See photo below:

Edit: i would bet my left nut that when Deputy Dimwit and the boys showed up to shut down this unsuspecting DMV office that they were wearing full battle rattle ...you would think they were Seal Team 6 breaching Osamas compound from the attitudes and puffed out chests coming thru the door lmao....i can smell the Old Spice and bad haircuts from here.

Yall see that SUPER DIRTY late hit on Texas QB by the Gumps ? Probably broke his collar bone or dislocated his left shoulder! The guy watched the QB throw the ball...jumps into him with both of his arms wrapped around him, grabbing the QB with both hands and straight up drove his shoulder into the ground with all of both guys weight....

It was already 1st and goal from the 1.5yd line...moved the ball half a yard. Thats it...SUPER dirty roughing the passer man. If that BS happened to Hooker, it would be a brawl....

So the commentator spits out Sabans balls juat long enough to say " didnt look like it was a malicious hit..." while they replay the guy intentionally driving dudes shoulder in the ground.

Dirty dirty play by the Gumps. Score is 10 all now

Edit...The QB Ewers in the locker room now getting Xrays....kid was on fire today also. Had a 50yd TD dropped in the endzone and still drove the team right down the field on Bama

That wasnt dirty. 5 years ago it's not even a penalty. The game has gotten so soft. Cant hit a guy .5 seconds after he let's go of the ball.

QB was still in the air when he got hit, not sure how you arent going to bring someone to the ground while they are in the AIR.

Dude...his right hand had a hold on Ewers left arm, his left hand wrapped all the way around him to grab Ewers left shoulder pad...and he straight up steered the guys left shoulder directly into the fake turf and to quote the NFL guys " drove him into the ground" . I played defense my whole youth, never offense... i hate the fact that QBs cant be hit like they used to....but they simply can't. If that was Hooker the entire state of Tennessee would be livid. I can see questioning how much time passed between when the QB released the ball and when he got his azz driven thru the turf...but there is zero question of whether the guy intentionally drove all of both guys weight directly thru Ewers left shoulder. It was perfectly executed...a textbook illustration of how to break a guys collarbone/ separate a shoulder. If that happens to Hooker it will be another 7-5 season

It was less of a dirty hit that the one that took out Colt McCoy. I love that you are complaining about the defender wrapping the guy up in the .5 second he had. If the QB doesnt leave his feet he is still probably playing. He made himself vulnerable.

Bama QB got hit in the facemask after the play was over. That was textbook hands to the face, should that have been called too? I mean we cant have dirty plays right?

Just typed then erased a novel lmao...hope Banks can use some of this film. I dont think UGAys defense from last season that put 8 players in the NFL shut Bama down like this. Texas defense is manhandling the Gumps...even at the LOS.

Texas wastes more talent per season than even our Vols have for the last decade...top 20 recruiting classes every single year, some top 10... and they lose 4 or 5 games a season. Looks like Gary Patterson has that talent playing like they are capable of, and they are punching Bama in the mouth over and over again. Its beautiful to watch.
