  1. The Changing Face of Football in America

    Yeah its hard to explain it but what i meant by collision event is like what happens in football. Also might be that when I played they had already started cutting down on the space to the point where we really weren't able to get up a lot of impact and it became more of a pressure and push...

    CTE has a lot of similar symptoms to alzheimer s( protein build up) and the brains of people with COPD after a long time of sub functioning lungs (similiar issues to where they get versions of dementia etc) My grandmother after beign a smoker of you know forever since the 50s basically had all...
  3. The Changing Face of Football in America

    I think the issue is co-morbid issues with combat sports are really high. Wrestling is often the sport of choice for people that become powerlifters and you take a ton of hits to the head in that.

  5. The Changing Face of Football in America

    It was an article I read in a medical journal while waiting for my wife at Duke med. I will try to find it but those things can be pay walled.

    Rugby is a contact sport. On any given "play" only one target is going to experience a collision with the exception of rucking and accidental collisions. You cannot "block" in rugby except in a ruck situation. A Scrum which is what the football line of scrimmage comes from only happens in...
  7. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Once you grad with the one undergrad that is that, you'd have to time the touble major to be done at the same time i think.
  8. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Kenan is also a graduate i don't think he had a choice.
  9. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    It makes sense when you realise he needed to get into grad school.
  10. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    This is actually the bonus of the systems we are trying to run. Defensively one and dones are not an issue. If we have guys that know defense and are constantly bringing in grand transfers when needed we can benefit. Its sorta no different than we would have done with grad transfers in the past...
  11. Jamal Haynes, Singleton & Rutherford (good news)

    Collins really just didn't liek Wesley for some reason. My guess is he questioned the "bulk up no matter what" ****. and clownshow stuff.
  12. An Open Letter to J Batt

    The league is entirely based on atheltic budgets and player pay mate. Just liek the premier league. Nothing to do with winning and losing at inception.

    The GTAA funds the entire athletics program but the extend at which it fund the athleses is scholarships and the facilities around them. NIL is directly to the athletes and specifically its directly to the revenue athletes like football and basketball. So the answer is Yes but with a asterisk.
  14. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    So far the only two leaving that fit that bill are graduates i think. Felix is not going to get PT behind jamal and dickens. Juju likely wasn't goign to crack the depth chart and hasn't after 2 years.
  15. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Would have just been a transfer down to FCS in the old days
  16. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Kenan Johnson also being a grad... we never hold on to grad transfers. Business school is too competitive and we always lose them. Remember when we lost Trey Klock to Northwestern?
  17. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    I am thinking this is what has happened. He doesn't have enough tape to declare for the draft and he probably has graduated.
  18. Buster

    I am not so sure. If he stays with us and has a few more successful years he very likely will get very big budget offers at large schools. if he goes to MTSU and then fails. He coudl tarnish his brand forever then he's back just being an OC somewhere else.
  19. Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    If he's graduating it may not be his choice. Remember one of the things that hurts us in retention is our grad schools give no favors to athletes so sometimes they just can't get in and have to look elsewhere.
