Recruiting Football Talk VIII

sad/frustrating info on Jordan Ross if true---

Was in Bham this weekend getting to see my son and his wife join their new Church... Afterwards, we all went lunch and I mentioned to my son's mother-in-law, who is a Calculus teacher at Vestavia Hills, and knows Jordan/taught him, that word from Knox is he came in and is doing very well and looking more like a Junior than a true freshman.

She said she's really pulling for him because he's had a bad family situation for a while, and that word is his mother (who's apparently a POS, Dad not in the picture) has taken every penny of his initial NIL and spent it on a new car, new condo, etc and Jordan hasn't seen a penny of it since he was 17 when they signed... She said according to her sources that when he's 18/or when he turned 18, that he now has control or will have control, but the first initial part was taken from him...

She said there's a family in VH connected to the VH football program (their son plays there and is friends with Jordan) that's been helping him the past few seasons, and even helped him move up to UT and paid for initial things to get him settled. Mom didn't even go with him or help move him in to UT.

Pretty sad if true, I hope it is not... Only going by what my son's mother-in-law said, but there's no reason for her to lie or exaggerate.
That's one you just keep to yourself. No win for anyone sharing that rumor.

Rumor bouncing around that people are getting emails if they are selling their season tickets that they are not eligible for season tickets next year. Appears to just be people selling all their tickets and not attending any games.

They shouldn’t eligible if they sell them all

Brooklyn Dodgers utility player Tommy Brown homers to drive in his team's only run in an 11-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. It seems insignificant, aside from the fact that, at 17 years old, Brown remains the youngest player to homer in a Major League Baseball game, a feat unlikely to be duplicated.
Brown made his debut with the Dodgers in 1944 when he was 16. During World War II, millions of men served overseas—future Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Yogi Berra were among them—so many teens got their shot in the big leagues. Fifteen-year-old Joe Nuxhall pitched 2/3 of an inning for the Cincinnati Reds in the summer of 1944.

After starting 1945 in the minor leagues, Brown returned to the Dodgers in July, becoming the team's No. 1 shortstop for the remainder of the season. He hit his first MLB home run against Pittsburgh's Preacher Roe, who won 127 games in the big leagues. Five days later, Browne hit the second home run of his career, against the New York Giants' Adrian Zabala. He finished the season with a .245 batting average.

Brown played seven more seasons in the big leagues, spending time with the Philadelphia Phillies and Cubs after leaving Brooklyn. He never became anything more than a part-time player, but his distinction of youngest person to homer in the majors endures.

Walgreens in Seymour has a bunch of Natty stuff. You'll need to take out a 3rd mortgage to buy any of it, but it looks pretty good for being Walgreens merchandise.
When the wife and I were traveling home last Wednesday from Bristol, we stopped at Dillards over at West Town Mall or Turkey Creek, can't remember for sure, but they had a good looking gray championship baseball cap for 12.99 over in the men's section. I snatched up a couple while we were there.
