Dual meet with one of the better clubs in the area. Older son had three events- 50 Free, 50 Fly and Free Relay- 1st place in all by good margin and the relay team that he anchored absolutely crushed their A team and finished before their B team got to their last leg. He cut a little time off...

He would step on his Mom's face to get a nudge better spot. Which has more NIL money for football... Florida or Penn St. He will bolt to whoever has more and then try to bring his Ole Miss roster with him.

A lifelong buddy of mine who is a Raider fan but also a USC fan. I have been sending him texts with pictures poking fun at him for the ND win since the game ended every few hours. He replied that he was going to become a Chef fan so he can do it back to me. 🤣

It's fair to take LSU out of the top 20 though I have just tremendous gratitude to that program for taking Kelly off our hands.

Sometimes I hate being loyal.

Older son also ended up Runner Up for total points for 12U boys at the meet. One of the coaches had his trophy for him at practice yesterday.

Yea, that was a lot of one sport for so long at that age. Even with him not deciding this route it might have been the better route to take to give him a break without having him just take a season off. It is so hard for kids that young to learn to enjoy the process of a sport. It is one of the...

I think that NIL goes a long way in recruiting now where that takes a big part of the curve ball from that out. Plus, the rise of the whole college GM role as well. If he went to a school with prestige and money to make runs it could limit the impact of his lack of experience in recruiting.

I think pre-portal/NIL football the college HC and NFL HC were much more different than they are now. I think he could do well as a HC in college. He will 100% get an offer to be an OC in the NFL. I have to think some college will make a run at him so his choices would be college HC or NFL OC...

A little back and forth with the AD today about basketball. 7th graders have 24 signed up, my unofficial count was 22 so I guess I was told two boys were not playing that are. It is a rough number to have... 12 and 12 is not exactly ideal (though I would love to have 12 if I was coaching A). I...

The pumpkin bread sounds like a smart way of getting Mom to make more. Well played little acarey... well played! Always nice to have opposing coaches that see beyond the matchup and see the kids. Great game for him!

Well ya.. a P4 job is certainly going to be a more desirable job than Group of 5 plus Pac12.

Was that replying to someone else?

Those are the current P4 openings. Add Oregon St, UAB, Colorado St, Kent St, Middle Tenn and New Mexico St outside of them which I believe is the current total picture of Group of Five plus Pac-12.

It is also probably important to remind everyone that this is not the US but Europe. I have no clue about the differences and even more so when it comes to soccer but I have to imagine there is a metric ton of differences from big and small things all over the place.
