Traffic is terrible because there is a red light every 100 yards through town. There is some pretty good stuff to do around there. I say decent.

I was thinking Bowling Green, Kentucky. Bowling Green football is trash.

Prekids I went up there for a disc golf weekend. Lots of good disc golf in that area.

Can't be. I was told by other posters that the investigation and looming sanctions weren't that big a deal.

No you weren’t. It’s just not worthy of the extent of your overreaction. Coaches of other teams always overplay the severity of what the sanctions end up. We’re not getting the death penalty you human tampons! Resume shower fetal position.

Here are their five games from last year. Additionally, they were:

127th out of 128 teams in total offense
127th out of 128 teams in total defense

Hey. They had the 86th ranked recruiting class in 2020 so any talent they lost to the draft is no doubt re-stocked from their latest crop of high school seniors coming in.

To be honest I don't either. But I'd read where an artist in New York sold an NFT of his work for over a million dollars. Regardless if you consider them 'collectable', or even 'investments', the money is there. For this application, I consider them a way to directly pay athletes just for being athletes, so why I agree it makes more sense for a bigger name to garner such attention, it doesn't mean that NFT's of any athlete couldn't be marketed.

Regardless, this is just one avenue of many revenue streams available to this generation of athlete. It's not as 'old school' as sitting down to do an autograph signing, or a meet and greet public appearance. That seems like a lot of hassle compared to someone marketing something for them, or monetizing their social media accounts.

Ha, I’ve actually been following that artist (he goes by beeple) on IG for a while. Most of his stuff is super weird digital art of like, a giant Mickey Mouse being milked by scientists or something. It’s bizarre, and even more so when I saw he sold an NFT for a million plus or whatever.

A handful of the collegiate creatives I follow have been posting a lot about monetizing their work that way, maybe I’ll go do some reading up on it.

Water Snake

Looks like a copperhead, but one big difference.
Dark Markings go from "wide to narrow" on a water snake..............."narrow to wide" on a copper head

Killed this copper head in my driveway

I would've thought copperhead if it didn't cut a trail toward the water when I jumped up. It scared the piss out of me. It was, literally, 12" away from my hip, as I was sitting.

AP on the podcast said that every school is telling kids we’re gonna get hammered by the NCAA and multi year bowl ban and that is what’s hurting recruiting the most. He doesn’t think that happens.

AP seems to think it's what is hurting recruiting the most. When I expressed that opinion, I was told other factors were bigger. Get pissy and start throwing your insults, it just shows you don't have a real argument. I never suggested we were facing severe sanctions, just that the uncertainty allows other coaches to play off of it. What actually happens and the picture that other coaches paint in the minds of recruits are two different things, but that picture that those other coaches are painting matters when recruits buy into the perception. The longer this drags out, the more it hurts our recruiting. Try to get what I said right, rather than acting like those opposing coaches and painting a different picture.

First pic was a Grey Rat Snake, this one is a black racer...

I was 2 feet away from it and I did not see any Grey on it. What had me questioning it was its head flattened out like a venomous snake has. But I looked closer( zoomed In on a pic) and its pupils was round. On a venomous one it will be slits like a cats pupils, also will have extra holes that are in-between its nostrils and eyes that are bigger than the nostril holes for heat sensors for striking.
