Did you see Beth Mowins comments? Called out the Turds for being seeded too high and said that us and Baylor do have a beef with Clemson at #16. And like you said, others discussed as well.

As a Georgia resident, I can tell you that the Hope Scholarship in Georgia is huge for non-revenue sports (everything not basketball or football). Pretty damn huge for us parents as well. I know (not well, but I know) one of the college softball head coaches in the state. They try to fill their roster with as many Georgia students who are eligible for Hope as possible because Hope pays for tuition if you graduate high school with a 3.0 and maintain a certain GPA in college. That gives them a lot of flexibility to use their 11.7 (I think) scholarships wisely and sometimes offer more to a player they otherwise might not get (the school in question is not UGA or Tech). It doesn't help that Auburn doesn't do any kind of reciprocity with other states, at least not with Georgia and Hope. Bama certainly does. My daughter is in high school and plays softball and will have the opportunity to play in college if she wants (not sure at what level yet). And she has good grades. I wouldn't say no to Auburn if Dean is smart enough to want her 😀 but I will say Auburn out-of-state tuition is 3x in-state. I wouldn't let money get in the way, but with tuition, room and board, books, beer, and othe college expenses, Auburn is a $50k a year proposition for someone out of state, She'd get some scholarship money, but still. As much as I love Auburn....$50k per year? Really? Auburn has said, hey, we're getting record applications, we don't need to offer anything extra for non-Alabama residents, we have enough who are coming as is. Sorry, got off on a tanget...TLDR summary - lottery scholarships are huge for non-revenue sports.

For future reference, there is a box you can click that will just show your name as "Anonymous". That's what I did.

Even if you're correct.....for the love of God please don't say that out loud!

Vacation time!

Hopefully it's disappearing ink.

Really? They should have released some pictures of that...

No idea if overall we'll have a stronger RB group than last year....but speaking about Tank specifically, hard to imagine any group of RB's improves because of his absence.

No, but I'm not sure I would have anyway. I know Stacy Tamborra and her younger daughter were there, not sure about Malayna, although I don't know why she'd need to attend anyway.

Dean held a three-day prospect camp this past weekend. A lot of the players were out there working with the girls. Pretty cool.

Not being Harsin-level dumb is a pretty low bar to clear...

My bad, thought you had gotten over those issues. Golf and Bird, on the other hand....

But they're not all housebroken...

A few Momma's Loves and orders of nachos and he'll be alright.

One of the best comedies of all time.

Exactly. Easy to say, oh we should sign ## high school kids and ## portal kids, but it's a two-way street.

It would be 12 stars, but I'm out of eligibility...

The portal is just a massive free agent pool every year now. It's going to completely eff up the game in my opinion.

Hopefully not terrible, but the way you phrased that made me think of this. 😀
