    I am thinking we’re kinda on the same page here. If you think the risk of losing life changing earnings or a dream nfl opportunity is too great, then playoffs versus a meaningless bowl game is not terribly different.

    Kindles career was basically ended by an off field injury. Hodges Mitchell on field.

    Jaylon Smith and McGahee did not have career ending injuries. You can speculate that it negatively impacted them, but we don’t totally know. Perhaps they learned patience. Maybe hard work. Perservearance. From reading Cowboys fans view of Smith, he’s not that great cause he can’t read a play which has nothing to do with injury. And an 8-10 year career ain’t too shabby.

    Career ending injuries in college aren’t just terribly common for high profile, highly protectable guys. And I’m not sure whether Neyor or Angilau seasons ending injuries were non-contact, which could happen during training. Point being, bad luck can get you anytime, anywhere.

    It was a theoretical question. I know he’s not playing.

    Just wondering if the BMDs woulda taken care of him. I’m quite certain he’d have the opportunity to work for the program in some capacity.

    It appears aggy writes their own humiliating jokes.

    After further review????.
    How long before a game does a team suit up and warm up? How far from where they play in Gainesville could the opposing team stay?

    Was relaxing enjoying my wife’s neck pillow yesterday evening. She lovingly said, “Aren’t you glad you met me and I introduced you to the neck pillow?” I joked, yes, “ but I never had neck pain ‘til I met you lol”. Yada yada yada, LC slept on the couch.

    Another advantage of no shot clock is that fitness is not as big as a determining factor, but execution is.

    Our old crockpot we’ve had for years recently developed a crack in the ceramic interior piece, so I told the family that it will now be referred to as a crackpot.

    My sons laughed, my wife did not.

    What’s wrong with women?

    Your wife missed the opportunity to say that there is already a crackpot in the family.

    So help me, back in the early ‘80s (when I was at UT) there was an SMU bumper sticker that read “I went to UT until my dad got a job”

    Your sons have taken their first tentative steps towards a life of telling groan-worthy dad jokes. You're a good man and a good father, Dion.
