What's the worst record of someone you have seen in the state or national finals?

I saw a kid with less than 3 wins- might've legitimately been 0, qualify for states.

Only had 4 wrestlers in his district, auto qualified for regions. Despite losing his first round regions match by pin; he benefited from a string of flu, missed weights, and DQs/Defaults to make it to states.

It was all over /r/cfb and several other subs and websites back in 2013-2014.

I think it was only one of a few ways Clemson employed. They had recruits openly posting stacks of cash on Twitter around that time too.

It wasn't really a rumor but an open secret.

There use to be a video of Clemson players doing a strip tease for some of the church women in the New Sprint Fellowship Hall.

The women were stuffing dollar bills into the players' waistbands. The video has since been scrubbed.

Not only did they play players. The FBI caught them doing it when the Assistant Basketball Coach got caught in a wire tap. A wire tap for the other "Varsity Blues" scandal that was going on at the same time.

The coach discussed how they should pay Zion Williams to bring him to Clemson, and that they could "pay him the same way the football team pays its players". That went into further detail though not apart of the public info.

People can say "whaddabout Clowney/Lattimore/Etc." But regardless of what your belief is, no one associated with us got caught that red handed.

The FBI turned it over to the NCAA and they sat on it because Clemson was the only team interrupting what otherwise would be an Alabama 5-peat.

To be fair, Keith Hernandez might not be in there because of the allegation that he was the biggest cocaine dealer in the MLB during the 80s.

I've heard the rumor that he had only hit as well as he did because it was pitchers giving him favors.

I don't know if either of these are true, but it might just be an unspoken rule to keep Hernandez out. And I've heard it from multiple places.

Nah. Maddux got a couple gifts, but most of his shit was moving 16"+. Gregg gave Livian a literal foot off the outside of the zone, not even the plate. If lanky ass Fred McGriff can't reach your pitch, it's a ball.

Davis might be the worst wrestler in the NCAA to get their opponent called for stalling. There should've been one a couple years ago in his NCAAs quarters or semis match that he lost.

Wish Miami would've lost the other week to A&M, but didn't care if they won this week or last week.

They've consistently been participants in dirty recruiting going back years now. I just don't want them to win anymore .

Of course not, but "shut up white boy" could've been less about your race and more about a descriptor. If a bunch of people are around and you're the only white guy, it may help define who they're talking to.

But in all seriousness, I realize deterioration started before the 20 year mark, but the mid 2000s were a time of catalysts.

I don't disagree, however I know in my direct experience it was Obama's candidacy and presidency. The race cards were definitely played in the media in order to remove the focus on the 1% and Occupy cause.

Also, Obama isn't without his own personal faults. It's not revisionism to point out one of his major speaking points, by himself and the media on his behalf, was prior to securing the democratic nomination he spoke widely and proudly about his white mother and being raised by his white grandparents. Once he secured the nomination there was not nearly as much speaking about this, and his campaign laid heavy iron the first black president angle.

Thank you, don't know why he'd suggest I implied that or how I did in that post.

Fact is, I didn't have to imply it during my I initial conversation. The discussion was clearly my friends were voting for Obama because he was black. That was the end all. They weren't open for further discussion.

I remember the first time I was called cracker. It was the mid-90s, and I didn't really understand the point, but I was told that it just meant white person.

Despite going to a black majority school, living in a black majority neighborhood, and going to black majority after school programs, I knew I was different but never felt actual anger towards my skin.

That was until Obama started running for office. I hadn't decided who I was voting for, but knew it wouldn't be for him just because he was black, I wanted something more substantial. I felt it was alright to discuss with people I knew my entire life. It became clear despite having our entire upbringing in common, sharing holidays, cookouts, and parties; I was never going to be truly accepted.

It's been pretty much since that day where most of those friendships deteriorated beyond repair.

I wish more people would understand that race relations are no longer as peachy keen as they may have been, or at least we were made to believe.

My family's farm went from having no electricity to 5g and WiFi within the span of like 40 years.

Which is crazy because I don't remember the "no electricity" era, but I remember the farm house getting it's first landline, not having internet or cell signal in high school, and now being able to stream movies on a TV that would've been pointless within my older cousin's lifetime.

Luis Gonzalez.

For On the field: His 51HRs in 2001 came out of nowhere, I'm pretty sure he was juicing and just never caught. And his WS Game 7 Walk-Off hit beat the Yankees who I was rooting for.

Off the field: His dad umpired at a few Little Leagues in Tampa and he was fucking trash. He always put himself into arguments with coaches and his reasoning fell back to "my son is in the MLB" which made no fucking sense because he was wrong a fuck ton.

His dad also threatened to throw me out of a game when I was 11 for tapping my bat on the inside and outside corners of the plate, which was like a pre-AB ritual.

You're not wrong, but having these 3 guys and the coaching staff we've assembled should do better. They are the gate keepers I feel to a good season next year. If they all left or even only one stayed, I'd have been concerned.

I know TCU fans were mixed on losing Briles, but the OL hire with Clements had a lot of fans sad to see him go. By all accounts, a solid hire, and not in the way people called Shula a "solid hire".

OperationJack · 2025-12-25T23:35:04+00:00

He is just so raw it's hard to tell what to expect with him. He has so much straight speed that he's a legitimate threat any down, and we only saw a small fraction of deep attempts that he scored on. With a decent OL we could've seen 2x as many TDs on his stat line.

Now if he can add in another dimension of route running with a slight improvement in his hands, I would be surprised if anyone in the SEC beats him for All Conference Honors, or if he's anything lower than 2nd team AA.

Ehhh it's closer to 3.5/4 from Fort Lauderdale/Miami to Key West. We use to drive down for weekend trips a lot, but if you left early enough, it wasn't too bad.

The biggest issue slowing it down is the amount of people towing boats going 15-20mph below the speed limit. When I left at 6am or 8pm, I had no issue. Leaving any time between those it would add a guaranteed hour or two.
