It may not work out for the players as well for them as they think if they went that direction. But I believe the market will regulate itself, in the end most aren’t going to make pro money in college and they shouldn’t. They deserve some money, but Beck isn’t worth 4 million for 1 year. Once folks start not getting the value on their investments the market will adjust. Even in the pros the highest payroll doesn’t all ways win. If college players get to arrogant it could backfire. They should have to honor the contracts. They could unionize but the colleges could hold firm together and the ones that sit well you sit and the games go on. I am all for players getting paid, but there comes a time the players should honor their word as well. In the end I think things will work out. Congress can pass laws or eliminate them. But like I said in the beginning if people will be patient and give it time I think the market will stabilize itself.

Money will stabilize, yes, but the inner workings of contracts, player movement, etc will be in the players benefit…..which is fine, I guess.

Think of how collective bargaining works in the NFL…….it’s coming to college.

Yeah I don’t believe this. How would they have passed fda testing if all this were true?

The FDA does not really test foods before they go to market.

That said, I don't super trust the conclusions.

"Lead is unsafe in any quantity" is technically true, I guess, but misleading. Trace amounts of lead are in all kinds of food. We dumped lead into the air for like 80 years. If you go looking for trace amounts, you'll find it.

I love that he loves God and he had a monumental college run, but if I never hear about Tebow again I would feel blessed. That guy beat every ounce of his 15 minutes of fame to death.

He's dedicating most of his life to ending human trafficking and child exploitation. I can't fault him for what he's decided to do with it.

I like Nico but I absolutely agree that there should be a competition. I think there should always be competition. Especially now that these guys are getting paid.

I found something Hooker said very interesting. When Nico committed most of us wondered why more guys didn’t commit because of him. We never heard about Nico recruiting for the team. Hooker said and I remember this, GMac and Merk both recruited for the team. Fazion has already said he is trying to get guys to come to TN. Maybe Nico isn’t the guy we think he is.

Yep. There is a serious lack of chemistry knowledge that is taken advantage of by “health” influencers. My sister in law over the holiday was trying to claim all kinds of weird salt theories and that canola and corn oil were the same. She’s also stated at different times that all metals are bad for the human body 🙄

All the Way, the first episode of "Happy Days" aired on ABC...........
It was very controversial at the time...........


"All the Way" involves your typical teenage dilemma — dating. Richie Cunningham has been crushing on classmate Mary Lou Milligan (Kathy O'Dare) who happens to sit in front of him in class. At the beginning of the episode, Potsie (Anson Williams) encourages Richie to ask out Mary but warns his friend that she has a "racy" reputation and only likes to date boys in the senior class. This gives Richie mounds of pressure, especially when Potsie plays Cupid at Arnold's Drive-In. Potsie gives Richie prompts to "woo" Mary by reading the seductive parts of a book at the diner, which proves successful! Mary invites Richie over to the house she's babysitting at for a date, and the two plan to meet later in the day.

At home, Richie barely touches his dinner, worrying his parents deeply. Just before the date, Richie receives advice from Potsie as to how to "perform well" with Mary. Potsie suggests, "When she twists her hair, that’s a sign she wants to French kiss," and, “She loves it when you blow in her ear”. He dives in deeper by advising Richie to leave his strongest hand free when he goes to hold her, bringing out a practice brassiere. Flustered, Richie leaves for his date, commenting that he's going to do things "his own way." But when Richie meets Mary at the babysitting house, he's overly nervous to impress her as he believes Mary holds certain expectations. They sit on the couch awkwardly and Richie reads seductive passages from a book. He tries to blow on Mary's ear and put his arm around her; however, Mary just wants to kiss him. As they make out, Richie takes the chance to undo her bra over her clothes. Immediately, Mary stands up saying, "What are you doing back there? I don’t do things like that." Richie, relieved, suggests they play chess instead — Mary happily agrees.

The next day at school, Richie is confronted by his friends as to how far he went with his date. Richie tries to avoid answering directly but gives into peer pressure when Mary shows up boasting, “It was fun the other night. Let’s do it again real soon." Peaking the attention of Potsie, Ralph (Don Most), and the Fonz (Henry Winkler), the boys ask him if he "did it" with Mary, implying sex, and Richie merely answers, "You kidding?" Richie instantly feels guilty about lying and goes to his dad for advice — he tells him to set the record straight to his friends.

Eventually, Richie confesses to Mary that he told the truth to his friends about what they really did on the date, and all is fine between them. Soon, Fonzie shows up and Richie also tells him the truth. Disappointed Fonzie says, “Seeing how you said you did, I figured you did, and she did, so I got a date with her myself this afternoon." He expresses that he feels like his day is wasted since Mary won't do anything more than kiss. After Fonzie leaves on his motorcycle with Mary, Potsie catches up with Richie. Their conversation casually drifts to their history test — Richie recalls how he missed a question about Alaska becoming a state. Potsie comments that it will never happen, leading Richie to reply, "Sure it will. Do you realize someday an Eskimo could become president?" The episode comes to a close as Potsie jokes, "Yeah, terrific. At the World Series, he could throw out the first snowball."

I love @VolsDoc81TX running a few days behind. He likes a lot of my posts and sometimes I go back and see what we were talking about. To be honest, some of them I forgot about making. We do some funny stuff on here. 🤣
