My crystal ball agrees. There's no natural incentive to reign in spending. Even if the conferences come up with a solution, who's to stop some random fan who wants a player and has the wherewithal from bidding them up? Fans that want a winner will pour in the funds. But it's always been that way, just not on steroids like it is now.

I appreciate everyone's kind words. They mean a lot, even though we've never met, they still help. The O&B bond is a strong one and you have all proven that.
My ole man bled the colors like I did. This Pic will be next to the casket.
Didn't mean to derail the thread, but thank you, now back to the originally scheduled broadcast.

Nice photo. I am sorry for you too. I lost my Dad 33 years ago due to Prostate Cancer. He was only 62. Lots of pain & grieving for decades until I had to force myself to stop. I still think of him every single day.
Great picture. Ironically, his facial expression matched mine following the Penn State game…
My thoughts and prayers to you and the entire family, drsmitty…My Dad passed at the end of last year so I know exactly what you’re going through. The words of support meant so much to me and they helped…Even when it’s anonymous folks on a message board it still means a lot. Hang in there, know that it’s okay to cry and be emotional. And also know that there are a lot of folks out there who are praying for you and supporting you.
Sorry for your loss. Don't be surprised to see some signs that he's definitely watching over you. Just be open to it.
Insiders, any interest here? Northern Illinois is on his list, but he is a 7 feet 1inch powerful looking center.

I am sure he was you have my heartfelt condolences on your lost,
The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one’s health is more,
To lose one’s soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.
The present only is our own,
So live, love, toil with a will
Place no faith in “Tomorrow”
For the clock may then be still.
……. Robert H. Smith
