Success With Hyperlinking Is SO DAMN PROUD

Paul Rhoads is my favorite. Anyone that wouldn't run through a wall for that man needs to check their pulse.

Very very interesting. Early returns on concussion research include some frightening theories. Among them is that a football player may suffer concussion-like symptoms just from normal football contact, and that an actual concussion doesn't necessarily have to happen. One way to potentially combat this: Play football year-round.

There will be no bowl swag. The University of Miami has elected to skip going to a bowl game this year. Considering they were in line for a low-tier bowl that would've cost the university money to go to anyway, it's a fairly low pain punishment. Whether this helps lessen the penalties the NCAA will eventually impose on them remains to be seen, but it's certainly not a bad place to start. It sucks for the kids on the team, but in the long run it'll be better for the school.

RIP. Sad news out of Fayetteville, as 19 year old Razorback tight end Garrett Uekman was found dead yesterday. The cause of death is currently unknown. Thoughts and prayers to his family and teammates.

Lee Corso is old and he doesn't care what anyone thinks. He'll cuss into a hot mic if he wants to, and there ain't a damn thing you can do to stop him.

Year round football?

I like it. One of the things that I find true is that before the season starts I’m ready to go to every single home game, I can’t wait to pack the car for the first time. But by the end of the season, I’m burned out on attending home games. Then by February I’m already staring at the calendar looking foward to the spring game.

I often think if you could spread out the games from September to March, every home game would be an event instead of just the big matchups. If it’s better for the athletes too, then it’s a win win. Plus it would be pretty wild to have bowl season in the spring/summer…

Anyway, the flashlights eat our human power grids, our souls if you will. So i destroyed them, and if a few precious panties were burnt or soiled in the reckoning then so be it

I could definitely get on board with a more drawn-out schedule.

Yeah, tradition will take a hit of bowl games are not played on New Year’s Day, but that’s already happening this year as the NFL takes over.

Why not turn Memorial Day into Bowl Game Central?

I’d envision a schedule to look something like guided team physical training Monday and Wednesday for 2 hours a day. Non-contact practices on Tuesday and Saturday for 2 hours a day. Contact practices on Thursday and Saturday for 2 hours a day. Obviously, the Saturday practices are off when games are on. That’s 12 hours a week, which I think is enough, but if there’s a bit more to be had, so be it. I’d be in favor of having a few hours a week of guided film sessions and such.

6 games per team in the Fall. 3 games per team in January with a couple of big non-conference match-ups in early January. 3 more games in February and early March to get to 12. Conference championships over spring break season. Playoffs (!!!) in April.

Don’t judge me. I’m crazy.
