My old neighbor golfed at UK and is still close enough to the program to hear things. He told me yesterday that UK offered 3 high school golfers a combined $800k.
Also mentioned UK volleyball has lost a couple players over NIL money.
If golfers are getting an average of $265k, what the fuck are football players getting?
I never thought a blowout was possible either.
I do think that in the 12 team era has teams which are serious about winning it all have to be treating it like 2 different seasons. Season 1 is doing just enough to get invited to the dance, keep players healthy, build depth, focus on being the best in December. Season 2 starts after the conference champ game and is all gas no brakes. New schematic wrinkles, unleashing younger players who develop during the season, etc. Then survive and advance in the tournament.
Oregon, OSU and PSU had their 3 regular season games all be 1 score, all with the losing team having a chance to win/tie in the end. Did Oregon bring anything new on offense yesterday? It felt like they were trying to play the same consistent, almost safe, play which won all the regular season games. OSU obviously has unleashed something and PSU's running game has taken massive steps forward in the past 3 games.
We dont want to let them in our club.
Last year they didn't and those were Petersen recruits and some transfers.
It takes more than 11 months when you lose 50 players
