I for one appreciate @ChiefGritty 's different view. I may not agree with a bunch of it. I'd rather see it than not. I'd hate for this forum to become an echo chamber.
Right there with Podz and Awvee Storey.
Comment of the day. Bravo.
According to my 9 year old, Panos in calumet city has the “best fries ever.”
Sorry to all other opinions and contenders.

Make that trip every year
Although if you are tired of driving by then, take 40 to Flag instead of getting off at Holbrook then down 17 to the 202 is the lazy route. And only a few minutes more particularly if you get stuck behind RV's on the mountain roads.
It's just incoherent babbling not really a point of view

I'm fine with it. But I am allowed to disagree too.

When you're on I-40 it's always fun to stop at the Big Texan in Amarillo. Never tried the 72oz steak challenge, but saw some guy beat it once.
And he lived how long after that?

I mean the post you quoted is more of a prediction than an opinion. If some school locks down 3-4 top of market portal guys then I'm wrong.
My opinion, which I think reflects exactly the way our staff has actually gone about things, is that if you find a player you like willing to sign on the dotted line, don't get cold feet, don't worry about waiting for someone better, make the deal.
That's the implication of the way the economics of this thing work. In an inflationary market your deal today usually looks better tomorrow. But players have the opposite incentive.
They used to have a billboard on Rte 16 between Mattoon and Charleston that said something like Famous in Coles County, not the world - Their fries are pretty solid
I’ll Varsity I agree about Panos. Haven’t been to Panos in a while. I miss Boz hot dog. When is John’s getting drafted.
Actually, their fries are not good. Overall, great place to visit, but skip the fries
I hear you but I'm afraid they are only fishing at this point.

Show me other examples of the NCAA actually enforcing their rules for other programs, and maybe I’ll grant your point

I once held in a fart inside an echo chamber. I knew if I let it out, I would never hear the end of it...
I'll see myself out.

Cue Reggie Bass reference here
as regards this particular rule, they've already enforced it against others. But they really haven't had to do it too often because people who are covered by the rule haven't bothered to ask for waivers, I'm assuming.
Every Ivy League player missed the entire 20-21 season. I have not heard of a single one challenging this rule and asking for a waiver for a fifth year of eligibility. granted, it's not like I keep close tabs on it.
Daron Holmes very similar to Coleman, he seems less if a glue guy and more if a scorer.

Good lord, that young man is really, really good at basketball. He seems like exactly the kind of player BU would love to have on his team. I would love to see him in O&B.
He would be a nice add
