Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

If my son takes after me physically, he might have the size to play football [I graduate HS at 6'4" and 225#, lean, just from martial arts and not doing any serious weight training]. 

It's not even an option for him. I expect he's going to make his living [as I do] with what's in his head, not by hitting it against other people at high speed. Might as well protect it. 

I was worried when that potential shoes scandal popped up for Michigan. Glad to see it didn't involve active players and that we were able to skip the recent episodes of As The Big East Turns.

Tangent time: Holy crap, why are some shoes worth thousands of dollars? Obviously because of supply and demand. I guess I'm not actually asking. Just shocked. Also that Jordan gives Michigan players so many for free. I feel like if you come to Michigan and choose to only save your leisure sneakers in the box, never use them, when you graduate, you can legitimately sell the accumulated stack of boxes for $10-30K.

Jimbo says it's not true at all.

Going to be in Nashville, got free tickets to Vandy-Nevada, 11 AM kickoff. I'll be the judge of just how good this "SEC atmosphere" is

Even if true: Is it serious? I mean it breaks rules. So I guess. And the accusation (that coaches were there through the summer and that voluntary sessions were called mandatory) was worse than what Michigan got dinged for under Rodriguez ("20 too many minutes of stretching per week"), but I still find it difficult to care.

If the part about giving players money to entertain recruits is true, well, that one will be a little more serious than a few extra hours of practice.

I hadn't heard that allegation. Yeah, those ones tend to matter more. Even then, how often do such allegations evolve into sanctions? 1-in-10?

I was in Nashviille on a game day (was there for a wedding).  The atmosphere was pretty sedate, a handful of tailgates near the stadium and some frat parties going on.
