Why is it so many teams put out a black uniform when their colors aren't black.  Michigan State did it last year as well, as have many other schools (Ohio State, Florida, Tennessee, Oregon, etc.).  Is it because marketing people think black uniforms are super cool and badass?  

 

 

 

I suspect they sell well.

During their Wednesday team meeting, Coach Prime received complaints about a cluttered locker room and he wasted no time addressing the internal issue as a priority. Playing footage of the disorganized locker room strewn with cluttered shoes, joggers, and other items, Deion Sanders confronted Shedeur & Co., stating, “So we know whose locker those were, correct? Yes, but we’re a team, correct? So all of us are going to pay for that. It’s our house… Some of you were raised like that. Your parents let you get down like that? I am not one of those parents. So we’re going to take care of that after practice today.”

Schools in Virginia will be able to directly pay athletes via name, image and likeness deals thanks to a state law signed Thursday morning, marking another significant step in the professionalization of college sports.

 

The new law, which is scheduled to take effect July 1, is the first in any state to make it illegal for the NCAA to punish a school for compensating athletes for their NIL rights. Current NCAA rules prohibit schools from signing NIL deals with their own players. The law could either give Virginia schools a significant recruiting advantage or provide a catalyst for similar changes elsewhere.

I guess we can add him back to the list of Heisman award winning NFL busts. LOL.

 

I'm not sure bust fits though. He had 2 1k rushing seasons so that shows that he was productive on the ground. He also had 80+ and 70+ catch seasons to start his pro career. 

 

If anything he was prob ahead of his time in the NFL. Im sure he'd be a legit weapon in this pass crazy league now. Assuming his injury history didn't knock him out. 

 

I'm just not sure giving him back his award makes sense now after he got caught breaking the cardinal sin of college football back then. Even if it would be permitted now (not sure if some of it would though tbh).

The NCAA and Heisman trust were wrong to deprive Reggie of his Heisman. Glad he got it back.

 

Long list of transgressions the NCAA got away with under the guise of "justice"--first "vacated" NCAA title, very unfair.

If I'm an NFL GM and I pick a guy #2 overall, and he gets 2 1k rushing yard seasons in his entire career, I'm not happy.

Agreed. But I still don't think he was a bust. Leave that to players chosen at #2 like Rick Mirer, Ryan Leaf, or Blair Thomas.

 

That offseason before the draft, the Saints signed Brees and then decided they needed a weapon to go with him. Fwiw that 2006 draft wasn't that great when you look back at it. Especially at RB. Had the Saints picked #2 the following year, they likely would have taken Megatron (or AP). 🤦‍♂️

I'm willing to agree that we have different definitions of "bust."  

 

And yea, you are right, that draft was miserable.  Top 3 QBs:  Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Smokin' Jay Cutler.  

 

The best NFL career out of the entire draft is probably Nick Mangold.  Wow.

Devin Hester

 

Ah.  

 

I think I'd rather have a 7-time Pro Bowl interior lineman than a return specialist, even arguably the greatest return specialist of all time (sorry BMitch!)
