OT: Lincoln Riley reportedly offered 8 yr/$96 Million by LSU

Although I was very young, I remember the first time I heard the term rhino to refer to money. It was soon after I left my job as a feltmaker / lacemaker, to work as a physician at my grandfather's apothecary in East London. There I was on my first day of work, when the ashman burst in asking for my uncle. Apparently he found my uncle's purse in the rubish, and inside of the purse, the ashman said, was a large sum of rhinos. I had never heard the term rhino used before to refer to money, but soon enough it was everywhere. At least until the sinking of the Lusitania. After that, for some reason, it was all ponies and monkeys. 

My story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say dickety because the Kaiser had stolen our word twenty. I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles. Then after World War Two, it got kinda quiet, 'til Superman challenged FDR to a race around the world. FDR beat him by a furlong, or so the comic books would have you believe. The truth lies somewhere in between. Three wars back we called Sauerkraut "liberty cabbage" and we called liberty cabbage "super slaw" and back then a suitcase was known as a "Swedish lunchbox." We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Ah, there's an interesting story behind that nickel. In 1957, I remember it was, I got up in the morning and made myself a piece of toast. I set the toaster to three: medium brown.Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Do you think the crowd here would be chirping that Harbaugh is 1-1 against Tucker if the win was last year?  The year was a crapfest across the board.  Cool, they can claim the win.  alright.  This year, the reason he might be paid stupid money, was solely on the back of a portal RB that is like a lottery ticket.  What's so weird?  Would you argue that MSU would be 9-1 if Walker did not play for them?  I'd suggest 6-3 as a high ceiling.  Not anything you get 9.5 million per for. 

Look at their roster after this year and the outlook with their recruiting class.  It is a reach to pay him that money.  I think Michigan fans will eventually be glad they did.

Dude, 

I underestimated the replay booth.

Don't worry whatever the line is next yr this blog will be full of over confidence and talking how Mel is a fraud and his 19 new transfers can't match last yrs and the last 16 yrs was due to hoke and RR and it's all luck and refs. Then after the game it will be about the crown of field or too little rain or too much rain or refs.  And it's their super bowl and our focus is on OSU who we have beat once a generation.  Did I mention luck. Lots of luck.
