Mutiny?
Something is going on and it seems pretty damned negative in EL.
Maybe a toxicity has befallen the program and the shit has hit the fan before it splattered on the couch before said couch got burned.
At least our portal out guys were either beaten out or had injuries that we couldn't overlook?
Okie probably wasn’t beaten out, but your argument holds water overall.
Okie was losing more and more snaps to McGregor and Moore at the end of the year. Might not necessarily be depth chart related, but it’s certainly a data point.
I think it was also pretty widely suspected that he followed Poggi for personal reasons. I don't think there's a ton to read into that situation other than, Okie really meshes well with Poggi and they want to stay together. NBD, best of luck to both of them.
Poggi was his HS coach, as he was for Nikhai Hill-Green. Totally understandable transfers.
Oh he definitely had other reasons for transferring. Poggi was the only reason we got Okie in the first place, totally makes sense that he’d follow him.
I just meant that he was losing snaps to McGregor/Moore late last season so it’s not unreasonable to believe he was being passed by those guys. Whether it’s true or not, we may never know. But there’s certainly smoke there.
Melllllll is going full Deion.
You never want to go full Deion.
What the hell is going on in EL??

Does each team get separate portals? If not, there could be an issue ...
Logged in to upvote!
It is more dangerous when you have an entire team in the portal with an only a couple of players from another team.
I'm trying to look this up to confirm it, but I just read that apparently he accounted for State's only interception last year. They whole defense had only 1 int all season? I have to confirm that. Can't be true.
Jacoby Windmon had an INT in the 1st qtr of the Wisconsin game.
MSU had 2 on the season. Yikes.
Yes, they were #131 out of 131 on the season. The next lowest total was 4.

Oh man, does anyone know a coach they could hire to work with their DBs? With a secondary that bad, why I bet they’d throw money at the right candidate!
I'm available and my kinesthetic intelligence is off the charts!
Not many got to put on the turnover Foster Grants.
I went back looked through the list. Jacoby Windmon is not listed there.
Where did you see he had a pick?
It is listed here in his stats:

I dont know, but a few more hours of this and I may have to call my physician.
The official number is four. 3:45 does not count. Up to 3:59 you are a bloody champion.
Old joke, but if that happened to me at my age I'd call all my friends first.
My favorite joke is, if it lasts longer than 4 hours, i'm calling a hooker.
Maybe they read Myke Cole's "The Bronze Lie," about how the Spartans are more myth than legend. Massive slave owners, weren't fighting to keep Greece free, military feats more myth than legend, weren't really "spartan" in terms of not liking riches, etc.
The Spartans were a proto-fascist society. Call it presenteeism, but I don’t think we should honoring such a society. Romans too.
Never change, Sal.
Romans? More than 3/4 of our civilized world is directly due to them, from law to flushing your toilet.
Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Sanitation dates back at least to the Indus River Valley civilization, as do aqueducts. Wine dates back MUCH farther, as does irrigation - giving the Romans credit for wine and irrigation is Inanna erasure, and Sargon of Akkad would have some words about that. Public health? Maybe I'm missing something - most of the innovations that improved longevity and quality of life - things I associate with public health - date to the 19th and 20th centuries. Did the Romans make some advances here that I'm painfully ignorant on? Sanitation is the only thing I can think of, and again, while the Romans built grand projects to bring and move water, they weren't the first to do so at that scale.
I'll give them the roads tho - Roman roads not only were a big reason the empire lasted as long as it did (which was a very long time), but also endured to the industrial age, where they've often been re-purposed. Credit where it's due, I'll thank the Romans for their roads across Europe. Where I don't live and don't have ancestors. And we still should give a shoutout to Darius the great. Just saying.
Nowhere else in the world can I go to watch my Rival team get verbally eviscerated and learn so much about Roman history and what they may get too much credit for. Great post, but this board is just wild.
Late score just in...
Romans: 24
Christians: 0
Sort of right on the law part, but wrong on the toilet part. Can't say anything else between the two.
Yeah. I never knew Thomas Crapper was a Roman.
They gave us codes and statues there was law long before the Romans
They're not unimportant - how they administered such a vast empire pre-industrialization for so long is worthy of remembering. The reason much of the world speaks variants of their language and practices variants of their religion is because they had such staying power - at a minimum there was a far-flung collection of Roman peoples strung out across the seas from 146 BC to 1204 AD - when New Rome was sacked and conquered by "Latins." 1350 years of administering an empire is something to behold, and until at least the mid-7th century it was a multi-ethnic empire.
But sanitation and indoor plumbing predated them by quite a lot, even at that scale - see the Indus River Valley civilization. Likewise, the idea of writing laws down dates back at least to Hammurabi. They didn't invent that and aren't the reason either of those exist in the modern world - considering that plumbing and sanitation were lost in much of Europe until the 18th and 19th century, I think their impact is overstated. The reason they matter is because they had staying power - which is itself an achievement worth examining - AND their cultural descendants who spoke variations on their language and practiced variations on their religion went out and conquered the world. The most prolific of those conquerors, the English, practiced the religion, but spoke a different language that was heavily influenced by theirs - so yea, still counts. And so if we want to know why Spanish, French and English are spoken around the world today, as we draw the line backwards we find a world effected by Rome.
Spartans are known for being slaughtered in battle.
Who cares? Whatever it is I like it! Except if Mel is channeling Deion and making room for a bunch of upgraded transfers from Alabama and Georgia or something?
Last one out, please turn off the lights?
The young guys left will get some playing time.
At this point I expect to see Mel Tucker enter the portal next.
They should be so lucky.
No thank you. 10 years, $95 million guaranteed. Honor the time of the contract. Please.
MSU couldn't fund that contract without donor help. I dont think k they can afford to break it without help either.
Shut your whore mouth!!!
Why would he? Nobody is gonna pay him what MSU is paying him.
The joke is that it’s such a disaster, even Mel wants to run away despite having to give up $95m.
