Bama defense hasn’t been world beaters this year

See, no problem. Well, the NCAA trying to exploit the situation for gigantic new powers is a problem. But other than that, meh. The NCAA passed the rules that a player who played no more than 4 games could transfer. They are not the savior of anything except the favorites that seek to racketeer for.

To the ones on the weight loss journey...congrats! I hover around 280 -290lbs @ 6ft 3in. I just turned 40 a few weeks ago. I really need to lose weight. I would like to get down to 250 again. Other than discipline with your routine...what foods/drinks did you cut out where you immediately saw a change?

Cut out cokes, sweets, breads, focus on portion control. No snacking after dinner and exercise.

This kinda BS is just gonna increase in frequency now that players can get paid. BuT cOlLeGe FoOtBalL iS bEtTeR nOw

If ASU tampered why isn't the NCAA enforcing its rules -- instead of ignoring its rules and exploiting the issue to gain dictatorial control of NIL?

Even if you do keto, I still recommend counting calories for at least a month to get a baseline. Use the LoseIt app or something similar. You have to know your normal daily caloric intake to get a good grasp on which meals and foods are problematic for your weight loss goals.

The biggest things to cut out are soda and alcohol. Then it's paring down snacks throughout the day. Also, be VERY conscious of what you order at restaurants or fast food if you eat it. It's difficult to find much under 1,000 calories on sit-down restaurant menus and most fast food combos end up around that with fries or a side.

I eat at about a 300-400 calorie deficit most days and I track everything I eat or drink. Once you get in the habit it's hard to eat at restaurants because everything is loaded with calories. Even mindlessly eating chips at a Mexican restaurant can tack on 400 calories without even denting your appetite. It sucks to get to dinner and see you have like 200 calories left because you snacked a bunch or had a huge lunch.

Good point. We rarely eat at restaurants, and when we do, no appetizers and no dessert. I don’t miss any of it any more.

I’m 6’3” and was just above 230, now stay right around 190 all the time.

How can any Vols fan look at our rosters and results in football, baseball, and basketball and fall for the "sky is falling" ginned up hysteria about NIL and the portal?

These are the good ole days.

Schools being renamed to “Gundy University of Las Vegas” and “Mullet Force Academy.”

And why should anybody fall for the "crisis" talking point that this UNLV thing is a big f'n deal because it might keep UNLV out of the playoffs?!! Really?

I hope the Mountain West refuses to pay UNLV the $25 to 30 million dollars they are asking for not to transfer out of their conference.

@peaygolf I am learning to golf here and looking for a good entry level used putter i can get for under $50. I like the looks of the 2 ball putters, but have no clue. I currently have an old style Dunlop 120. Would appreciate thoughts.

I still use a 1996 Kirk Currie putter, with a grip I’ve had on it for 20 odd years,

With that being said, I’m tinkering with mallets. I think it’s like 8/10 of the top players in the world use a mallet. Easier to aim and less “twisting” on off center hits (MOI- moment of inertia)

You can get really good pre-owned Odyssey 2-Ball, Odyssey White Hot Rossie, putters for around $50-$60.

There are two good putters that not many are familiar with that you can probably find cheap.
Never Compromise and Guerrin-Rife.

My mom passed away tonight. She finally submitted to dementia. I’m almost 48 years old and somehow I just feel like a sad kid inside.

I’m so sorry for your loss……my mom has stage 4 cancer and honestly, it’s just a waiting game right now.

Praying for you and your family. Rest easy knowing God’s by your side, and she’s next to Him.

 

[peaygolf]

Stop saying NIL.
It’s just “Pay for Play.”

Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[knoxvol52]

I love how everyone is blaming this on paying players, the players have always got paid. It has been that way since General Neyland was in short pants, it's just out in the open now. The real issue is the wide open portal. None of the craziness could happen without the totally unrestricted free agency we have in CFB today.

Yep, when the NCAA said no more sitting out a year when you transfer then the flood gates opened.

Sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is hard. T&P's.
