North Buffalo

So basically we haven’t a clue or maybe better termed we have an inkling but could be wrong or given the right circumstances and good coaching or system Allen could be great or not be able to take the next step. Guess all we have is hope and we will see. Obviously the guy has talent and despite the physical skills that EJ had he had trouble reading a defense. Allen seems to know when he screws up and is able to learn from it. That gives me hope. Yeh there will be a learning curve. Still haven’t and I don’t think anyone here knows if Allen is better learning on the field or watching. Guys are different in which they are better at. Preseason games will tell a lot imo.

We had a football coach who was a science teacher vietnam vet in late 70s, early 80s who would lose it every once in a while... soft spoken until he would, felt for the guy but everyone backed off when he did...

Did you go to Amherst High School with Mr. Tripp?

meh preseason.... meh

Maybe not as close as I remember but not far... PS Appleton WI is home of the John Birch society... very right wing and Madison was home to the Communist movement for a long time..., talk about extremes

Hey I have plantar fasciitis... crap but not the head aches... sure could use the cash though :)

If I remember correctly big casino across the street with parking lot that offers RV parking. You could call. Forget the name.

Been there years ago... over 20... beautiful part of the lake... GB was kinda like a smaller version of Buffalo... but much closer to Milwaukee and Chi town.. great food and nice casinos.... where you will find your requisit... ladies.

yeh but mental illness is not something to be screwed around with.., if he is still having symptoms. Hoping the best for Zay... if that means Football or just getting help... praying for Zay

Sigh Randy Smith taking off from the foul line and that kid had wheels... of course anytime you broke ankles carrying the ball then threw a stiff arm it was OJ. Martin and his wrist shot. An interception was either Bob James or Tony Greene. We all practiced McAdoos behind the head fade away. Jack lambert though was the man on D. But we all tried to zip it like Fergusen. Guy had a cannon.

My objection it is their fault... barring injury or just not good enough talent, scholarship can be rescinded. If they are going to do this then make all athletic scholarships 4 years guaranteed. Would also diversify the glut of the haves and have nots.

RIP, lost 2 high school classmates this year due to cancer at age 53/54. Have lost a number of them over the last few years due to cancer and heart attacks... sigh getting to that age.. where your mortality becomes more significant. Again RIP.

The time committment for being a division 1 athlete and a real scholar causes a situation that is rare that it can happen very successfully or without a lot of help. It definetly is a choice, but dont confuse a student athlete with a scholar. Not Diii coaches... My cousin Sam received D1 full boat offers from Duke and UNC for basketball, turned them both down along with four other freshman D1 basketball recruits. They went to Wesleyan in CT on academic scholarships. Started winning beating no 1 D3 team in nation and coach wanted them to practice. They threatened to quit because that wasnt what they were there for. If they wanted to practice they could have gone D1. Needless to say coach backed off. See the difference in power relationships.

Marcus Allen also became that later in his career too.

just click on the starred expense difference from USAToday... doesn’t say where all the money went despite the so called profit

oh that last part is true. And the first part is because of the TV contracts these guys have now. Gotta be the reason for the change. Part of the argument to pay these guys now. Jeez the money is insane. Still http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/ Shows AL Athletics received $6 mil in fees but only tranferred back $5+ back and ran a deficit.

https://bamahammer.com/2018/06/30/alabama-football-tide-near-top-ncaa-revenues-expenses/ Not $46 mill but just over $20 mil not bad.

My bad Ill keep looking, but shows you the gist unless it has changed that much?

Wide right and the illegal lateral game... The greatest comeback game too because of how down I was at half time and the first possession... then the increased heart rate during the comeback and OT... Could feel my heart pounding though because of a good thing. Also the playoff game during the late 70s Bills were up 10-14 points till Haslett step on Bradshaw’s head and got kicked out. Ended a devasting D performance against Pitt and Bradshaw found time to throw two bombs to Swan and Stallworth and pull out a win on their way to another Superbowl...

check it out income v expenses: http://www.espn.com/ncaa/revenue/_/type/expenses Not seeing the profit they claim..,

Won’t believe unless they truly opened their books. Dated but a great book on college sports finances was written in the late 90s by Mo Sperber called College Sports Inc and details how Universities shuffle money around to pretend football and basketball programs make money, but actually run at deficits. Only two programs made money back then... Notre Dame... because the priests remformed the finance post Knute Rockney and Frank Leyden. Forget the other one. Would love to see a detailed update. I think there has been something more recent but would need to research. PR departments at these programs are a well of misinformation.

No even before all that... travel expenses, recruitment expenses, bowl game expenses, conference revenue sharing, more coaches, tutors etc than an NFL team and roster size alone takes care of that plus all the perks coaches and staff recieve.

PS Atheletic departments especially football waste more money then they bring in and cover it up with misc student fees. Make them run them like a true business and we will see how many declare bankruptcy.

Sounds like a Sabres thread where the next year’s draft analysis starts the day after the previous year’s draft.

What’s worse is he is on ESPN radio during football season up in New Wngland fawning all over that Patriots... traitor....
