That’s a perfect summary of how disgusting and damaging this is.

What gets me is these kids come in at 17-18 years old from all kinds of backgrounds. They're lost, away from home for the first time, and have all the fears and anxieties that go along with that along with all the happiness and excitement that new horizons and opportunities bring. They've gotten this far by putting their nose to the grindstone and working hard and for many it was the only way they were ever going to be able to get out of their town or neighborhood. So you start there - with every bit of a young person's hopes, dreams and aspirations on the line and they're well aware that this is something they can screw up and lose and then you leverage every bit of that against them to get away with abuse. It's beyond the pale.

And what makes it even worse is that a lot of these guys are there and put in all that work to get there because they wanted to escape an abusive environment and maybe even help family members get out of one if they can succeed. It's just plain evil to tolerate this and to actually order it?!

AA is a genius, but not by not spending the money those teams spend, but by doing his homework on each player to see if they fit in the clubhouse and therefore with the chemistry of the team. Those teams don't win because of chemistry and fit in the clubhouse. Padres clubhouse issues are horrendous.

That’s why I used that word. He does it all so well.

This is a really important perspective. No one deserves that—on either side—and this behavior usually doesn’t remain isolated.

Sorry I could not give you a like for this.

I understand. Just going by history, I think Nico ends up with a start or two, or maybe comes in early and finishes a game. I don't think Milton will be injured too bad. . . probably something like concussion protocol . . fingers crossed no one gets hurt.

Then again, I am used to the idjits we had coaching before Heupel. I'm not sure any of them knew how to protect the QB like Heupel seems to.

Wouldn't cheer for them with both engines out on the plane. For now, they are going to get their players. Not much anyone can do about it. Think it's telling that UT backed off Easley after his visit. UGAs worst enemy right now is UGA. May take a couple of years, but they are on a path right now that will cause them to implode if something doesn't change.

They win a couple titles and they act like they've been a dynasty for half a century, 😆

Here's a question

If Sampson and Sledon demonstrate that they are superior to Small and Wright does the staff make the move to play them more? Or do they just keep the vets in regardless?

I think it would be a balancing act. We know Heupel likes to give his older players the best shot at the pros and he probably wants to avoid injury to the younger guys while they're still getting experience.

LOL, times have changed. Sounds like a HS or College frat initiation. Truly people are softer now than they were. Although, this stuff is as completely inapprop now as it was then. LOL, shoulda never been allowed like wtf were the adults backintheday?

perhaps if it were coed that would have changed it?

That’s an embarrassing take, Jack. Times have changed. The impact of the behavior has not.
