I was able to see 49 Winchester, Shane a smith & The Saints and Whiskey Myers this summer in Downtown Asheville. Wonderful show and was VERY impressed with how good Shane Smith & The Saints we’re live.

Other than him being independently wealthy and chooses optional work over being with his kids? No difference.

So, everyone that is wealthy enough to not work, shouldn't? Should all athletes that get big contracts work out the initial one and retire? Are Lebron James or Curry bad fathers? Or is it just football players? What about Manning, Breeze, or Farve? Or are they ok because they retired at a more reasonable age? What about players that go on to be coaches and announcers?

It's a ridiculous judgment. He enjoys playing football. He's on the road for 8 or so games a year. It's not like he doesn't have the chance to see his kids a lot.

Hearing anything about how others are doing? Seem like a pretty good class?
Click to expand...

From the '22 class these are the players who this year are already contributing.

Defense: Tyre West, James Pearce Jr (more so on special teams), Joshua Josephs, Dee Williams (mostly as a returner so far), Elijah Herring
Offense: Dylan Samson, Squirrel White, Justin Williams-Thomas

The class included quite a few OL guys and that position typically you RS your first year so you can condition and strengthen your body for the grind.

OL: Savion Herring, Brian Grant, Masai Reddick, Mo Clipper Jr, Addison Nichols

At this point it seems like a solid class, I think more of them will begin to blossom in year 3 or 4 though. A few names that have gotten praise throughout camp and the season specifically: Christian Harrison, Kalib Perry, Jordan Phillips, Chas Nimrod, Kaleb Webb

The only guys I'm not sure about are Cameron Miller (he was a top 75 WR coming outta Memphis) & Jourdan Thomas (he was a top 75 S outta Alabama)

Bold names are guys that I think will be the standouts once their careers are finished here.

Hey Francis....lighten up. We joke about copperheads every single day in the RF. If you know I am the proverbial smartazz, then apply that premise to my post and see if it brings you to a different outcome than me actually calling you a "liar". Have a nice day.

My apologies. Much like a copperhead, I have a tendency to bite when attacked.

At the time, they did have a better resume than lots of teams ranked above them. Preseason rankings were the only reason ku was ranked so low at that point, nothing to do with conference.

Kansas quickly jumped to 5-0 (beating 0 top 25 teams to do it)...with such resume defining wins as Tennessee Tech (FCS), West Virginia (3-4), Houston (4-3), Duke (5-3) and Iowa State (3-4). Duke and Iowa State at the time they played them were quality wins. WVU was 0-1 and Houston was 1-1.

After the Iowa State win, Kansas jumped to 19th which I felt was fair, could have argued after beating unbeaten Duke they deserved to get into the top 25. But they've lost 3 straight and at no point did they EVER have a better resume than Tennessee.
