    The Death of College Football

    I still love Saturdays. But NIL and the unregulated free agency has killed my interest in the talent acquisition side of college football. I used to follow recruiting very closely. I'd watch film. I'd follow the whole process. You used to be able to take pride in the guys that played for you...

    Recruiting 2024 Transfer Portal Thread: Washington starting Safety Asa Turner headed to UF

    There are 3 guys on out team currently I'd be sad to see hit the portal. Mertz who is coming back. He's not a generational QB but he's a great stop gap until Lagway. Eugene Wilson. Kid is the most talented dude on pretty much any field he steps on. And Shemar James. Our defense was bad all year...

    Noles lose by 60 to UGA, decide not to hang NC banner

    Yeah. Honestly the committee did them a favor. Now they can pull a UCF and go print out a championship banner at Kinko's. Selling "we are undefeated and got hosed" to fans and recruits is a nicer story than "our best team in a decade got boat raced by the 1st good team they played all year"...

    Noles lose by 60 to UGA, decide not to hang NC banner

    My enjoyment of college football has now been relegated to rooting for other teams to fail. So this weekend was pretty ****ing great.

    Anthony Richardson drafted 4th overall to the Colts

    Kid has crazy potential but never realized it. At least in the orange and blue. Every Mullen player that leaves this team is a win for us. Keep em coming. I hope that we have like 30 scholarship players by this time next week. The faster we turn the roster over the better. The GM that takes him...

    Diwun Black dismissed from team

    I agree. There's definitely something behind the scenes that caused a dismissal. Otherwise they wouldn't say dismissed. Just sad that a kid that seemed like he really wanted to be a Gator and worked hard to make it happen did something to get kicked off the team. Hes always had a bit of the...

    Diwun Black dismissed from team

    This one stings a little just because we all know how hard the kid worked to eventually get to UF. But it's not a huge loss on the field. Hes one of those tweener guys that's too big for safety but to skinny for LB, and was probably never gonna see the field. Wish him luck. With his athletic...

    Brenton Cox dismissed from Gators

    I used to agree but not anymore. There are exceptions to the rule. Some 3 stars end up being studs, bit in this era of college football recruiting is all that matters. Especially in the SEC. Kirby went from a gameday clown of a coach to a national championship all because he recruits his ass off.

    Brenton Cox dismissed from Gators

    Theres 0 chance Cox was gonna be back next season, and this year is already a write off. So we get a guy who by all accounts was a cancer in the locker room off the field and a younger guy gets experience instead? That's a win-win all day. Hopefully Dean is next. There ain't a single player on...

    Brenton Cox dismissed from Gators

    The guy that lets every single QB on our schedule break contain and pick up long 3rd downs and even when he's in position whiffs the tackle anyways? 1 down about 50 more to go. Get all these Mullen players out of the program.

    Semi-Custom Putter I'm Making

    Got a new wedge. Decided to black it all out except for a splash of color where I paid a little homage to our honorary Mr 2 Bits for the weekend.

    Semi-Custom Putter I'm Making

    Doesn't need it's own thread so I'll stick it in here. My old Wilson was looking a bit run down so I gave it the same treatment. I also changed the factory white and red lettering to something a bit more appropriate.

    Semi-Custom Putter I'm Making

    It's basically done. The orange grip is a place holder until the black leather one I ordered arrives. Just wanted to get something on it so I could make sure it's weighted properly.

    Semi-Custom Putter I'm Making

    Unfortunately the shaft I was gonna use isn't gonna work, so I bought another cheap TPM 4 off Ebay with a decent shaft that I'll use. I also picked up a Grip Masters leather putter grip to give it that nice vintage look. In the meantime I did another coat of Blue on the hosel because it was a...

    Semi-Custom Putter I'm Making

    Once the shaft is dry I'll slide a rubber on it, and go whack a few balls. Hopefully sink a few into the hole. Who knows?
