so former Auburn running back/5 star recruit/bcs championship mvp/bo jackson record breaker Michael Dyer is going to announce he is coming to Louisville, he will be eligible for this season and have 2 seasons of eligibility left
now to the bad news, this kid has a trouble past being kicked off the auburn team for pot use, then getting kicked off arkansas state for being stopped by police with pot and a licensed gun, to be fair he did have a conceal carry permit. However if there is one coach that has proven he can take problem players like this and develop them into men it's charlie stromg

If even auburn kicked him off the team, then I wouldn't be celebrating this at all. Sanctions waiting to happen.
If Auburn kicked him off their team, you don't want him. He's nothing but trouble.
Reading all of his "witty" comebacks on Twitter just makes me think he's even more of a douche.
Double digit wins and championships are all that matters, man.
Still trying to figure out what championships he's won.
Yes, I was going to post this. We finally have our "Player holding wad of money" picture!
Though, his facial expression is pretty poor. It's like he's never held a wad of money in his hands before.
Or has a gun trained on him.
No, that's the expression you make to prove that holding tons of hundies ain't no thang.
...
On an interesting note, one of my new coworkers was a punter at Arky during the Petrino years.
Shocking news: Bobby Petrino is a dick, and Ryan Mallett is a tool.
I really don't get these pictures that these guys post. To give them the benefit of the doubt, he borrowed money from someone so he could take this picture and look like he's "ballin." Or he could have had big bills out front and then 1's in the middle because he's a broke ass college kid. Or he sold his textbooks (that he was given for free) and the money is from that. Or he was given it by a booster. None of them have time to work an actual job.
Given the above options, I don't see why any of them think it's a good idea to post it. Now Manziel I get it, he probably comes from a rich family and has tons of money anyway.
Yeah, Carvell is a piece of shit. Everyone hates him.

Random, but fits in here. Got bored this weekend and went over to Jack Trice (ISU's stadium) and took some photos. The day felt like perfect football weather. Not long now..
Here's the new(ish) practice complex. Super nice.

Couldn't get inside the gates, so this is the best field shot I got.

I saw that ISU hype video you posted the other day...
You're welcome for providing the field rush that will end every ISU pregame video from here to eternity.
Sharp's FG was good

People laugh at how "small" Jack Trice looks compared to "big" college football stadiums, but we sure have some great memories there.

Lmao, that's the press box. I think they have the windows open to air it out or something. It was super nice.
They did have a wedding going on when I was wandering around too.

Oh, here's the back of the jumbo video board we put it a year ago, last year was the first year it was used I think.
They actually had a movie night on the thing this summer. You can see it perfectly from the tailgate lots even.

I've been there before, for the infamous 2005 Al Pena debacle.

But hey, at least we managed to win one Big 12 game that year! *winks at Pristine*

In years where we have the World Cup or Summer Olympics its not that bad, but years that lack either of those are especially trying. I don't care what Puig is doing on the Dodgers, just give me football. I'm actually excited for the Hall of Fame Game this Sunday because even pre-season football is more exciting than the MLB. ( Sorry cashman )
Baseball is for old people and little kids. And Latin Americans.
I guess I'm old.
Go Urnge!
What happened to LOLsville?
Exactly. Confederations Cup/Gold Cup and Wimbledon were it for me this summer after the NBA Playoffs ended. It's awful.
Dyer would be an awesome pickup for this season with this o-line. Would certainly increase the chances of 7-5. Chills just thinking about it.
Really? You're fucking Tennessee. Act like it.
I know Tennessee has fallen off but that's pretty damn sad.
I understand following baseball if there's a team near you, but beyond that it doesn't have nearly the neutral fan interest that football (or even marquee NBA games) can generate.
A huge part of the country doesn't care until the World Series, and sometimes not even then if it isn't an appealing matchup.
Oh yeah, I love baseball and I can't stand watching other teams. I need a vested interest in one of the teams playing to watch a game. I hate NBA since it's becom so neutered to where teams can't play defense.
Too far the other way.
Indiana and Memphis play great defense. So do OKC, SA, and Miami at times.
You're not gonna see slugfests like you did in the Eastern Conference in the 80s and 90s with the Pistons, Pacers, and Knicks, but that's for the best. The new rules make the game much more fun to watch. I can't stand watching college ball, even though we're back to being good all of a sudden (thank you Based Smart).
I mean that the refs won't let anything slide these days and it's become all about falling down and trying to draw fouls.. Standing in the lane and trying to draw a charge instead of trying to block the shit out of that guy.
It's more exciting offensively, it's just annoying not seeing people be allowed to play defense. Not debating that some teams are better at playing defense within the rules, but the game done changed, son.
The flopping rules seem to have helped somewhat, although I'd prefer for them to result in suspension rather than a fine. You're right that there's too much emphasis on the FT line, but it really helps my team so I'm OK with it :lol. I do hate the charge rules as well, but that's way, way worse in college. Scrubs who can't play make their living off of getting in the way of skilled offensive guys.
As for the current state of the NBA, I can't imagine anyone watching games 6 and 7 of the Finals last year and not being blown away by the skill, effort, and emotion displayed. It was absolutely awesome.
This is the same fanbase that partakes in Grudenmania seemingly every 3 years. The Volnation forums are treating Butch Jones like the second coming as they normally do. Same shit every year, all the hype in the world leading up to the season, we beat one or two non-conference opponents and this is it. Ridiculous hype for Florida and then the normal spiral downward.
I've actually been really impressed with what Butch and co. have done since they've been here. Outside of a disappointing signing day, he's done everything about as well as it could be done. Interested to see if he can coach.
I don't have very high expectations for this team. I'd say making a bowl game should be our number one goal for this season. Anything beyond that would be gravy.
And their only impressive win last year was Bama anyways.
I do wish their schedule lined up worse this year, because it'll be hard for them to avoid going 10-2. A couple lucky breaks and we could have a MNCG involving Aggy. *shudders*
