Today at 4:14am we were lucky enough to receive our biggest blessing and our prayers for a healthy baby boy were answered. What a moment.

I remember they laughed when a group of players suggested a cap at around $2.5 million a little over a decade. Idiots.

@danorlovsky7 Comparison is the thief of appreciation sometimes. But all things considered…do you see similarities in Burrow and Stafford early in their careers?

2 of the best Big seasons on deck for the future

Northwestern got SHAFTED with this schedule

The NCAA & others are spending millions to avoid college athletes being employees, including lobbying for a fed law that prohibits college athlete employment. But schools keep doing things to demonstrate the athletes are employees under the law. This is one of those things.👇

Steve Nash on the issues with basketball development in the USA "Its pay to play in the states. Capitalism is wonderful, not great for player development. In Europe the playing is free. Theres no hidden motives and we have to win or the kid is leaving for the next club.... Here its just been totally commercialized"

College football has changed so much and many people say for the better but I disagree. Here are my 5 reasons: 1. All 4 QBs in the semis are transfers 2. Ole Miss and Indiana are portal programs who does not and will not develop any HS talent. 3. 1/2 of the rosters of the losing teams will leave by Saturday despite having a historical season. 4. Absolutely zero loyalty to the brotherhood that comes along with team sports. 5. Seeing a player stay multiple years at the same place has became a rarity when it should be the norm. College football needs a lot of work. PS (this has nothing to do with Bama)

Just my 2 cents: College Sports isn’t where this epidemic started. Did you sign your 6 year-old up for travel sports? 4 different teams in the last year or 2? Did you quit Little League & your School’s rec team to travel to Texas & Florida at age 9. Is every weekend at the Travelodge with your kids numbered sweatshirt on at 8am, blaring some premade, walk up song montage. Did you move your kid to a new school that you don’t even live in multiple times in their high school career?chasing the, it’s so much better there mindset, because the friends parents talked you into it and your excuses was, just wanna be part of winners. Did you have a meeting to get the volunteer parent coach fired or the school’s admin coach fired because he/she didn’t play your kid? Did you pay a personal trainer thousands of dollars all to watch your kid get burned out and tell you this sucks I just wanna play video games? Do you run your kids, social media, YouTube and NIL-potential so that you can market the next big star. Folks, we’re all guilty of wanting something better but stop acting and blaming college sports. That ain’t the problem here. This happens way before they get to college. How much money does it take to buy you or your family? Did you fall for the ole… Better Join the, “ Select”, “Elite”, “Top”, “Premier” Team sales pitch? Only to figure out you just ended up funding the scholarships for the A-Team . ADULTS, kids learn from Adults, they are taught & influenced by Adults. The Great “Coach Baird” always called us Kids, because that’s what we were, immature, impressionable Kids. Loyalty, commitment, integrity, and honesty is taught at the foundation, start there and we fix the issue. I Bleed 💜💛 forever, & I”ll leave you with the legendary “Coach Hart” quote… “Move The Drill, 5 yards Up” GO DAWGS! ☔️

This is the part of the transfer portal that a lot of people don’t like to talk about or don’t know about!!! everybody that’s in the portal didn’t willingly choose to go there!!! 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

OFFICIALLY IN THE PORTAL! 6’1” 220 FCS LB 3 years of eligibility left True Freshman film 570-854-1426

Ppl laugh at Michael Irvin, but he is what we’ll probably never see again due to the transfer portal. Something to be said about the pride you have when it comes to your alma mater.

Cats in the Rose Bowl next year. It’s a NUEra again.

Bowl games mean nothing…they say.

@Scan_man7 always teaches his athletes that you will default to your level of training, so stay locked in and grind hour by hour.

I’ve asked why MSU’s fall off hasn’t gotten attention. Happy and forever grateful personally for Coach Fitz. Great hire for both parties.

*blue* right by 'em 💨 📺 @CBSSportsNet

Turn me up Stone! Cats are back 🎳

I’m proud that NU has a reputation as a team that doesn’t go away. But I’m exhausted from being this damn close. The talent gap and admission excuses are out the window and only used when we lose. They had eleventy seven chances to win the game today.

Too many similarities to our ‘14 season for this year’s Cats. And I don’t like it. Still beat Penn State though!
