One of the original purposes of the portal was for players to find a school to get more playing time. But now it’s being used to get better NIL deals.
More than 1,200 FBS scholarship players have entered the portal since December 5th. The problem with this is some of these players will not find new schools.
There was some real scrambling last season for a few USC players who could not find new schools. And it’s only going to get more difficult.

Not everything is w[r}ong Ed, the sun came up real nicely this morning, and I saw the prettiest girl in the park the other day
But you are right that some things are rong like with ‘Without-a-Folt’–
Just read hur (Ed language) 4-years ago resignation letter from North
Carolina where she claims she had Confederate statue pieces removed for “public safety” even though there had not been any controversy for decades until hur arrival in 2013.
And she might want to re-write her cliche’ riddled little speech where she states, “…our students and alumni are succeeding in all FIELDS.”
I was leaving ‘Without-a-Folt’ alone until I realized she is trying to
re-make USC in her image no matter how much Trojan history and tradition gets waylaid and trampled on

Carol may have to rename the Allyson Felix Field to placate the pansies being grown in the sensitivity garden of social services.

They wanted free agency and money. They got both. I had no pity for any scholarship D1 football player before the portal, and I certainly have no pity for any of them now. Maybe some will learn from the mistakes of others, but I’m not holding my breath.

When you look at TAMU who lost 25 players, and many of those were top 100 players, USC is looking dang good.

For those of us who came of age in the 60s his music was wonderfully woven into the soundtracks of our young lives. Older and wiser, his “Wasted On The Way” is a poignant musing about time’s flow, perspective gained and opportunities lost. Love that song.

My mom is an organized hoarder. She hangs to shit that hasn’t been used in years. I think she has a really soft spot for Christmas decorations. She buys a lot of new decorations each year but refuses to let go of the old stuff.
Speaking of Swedish cleaning, this might be helpful.

Sometimes I envy the unencumbered outdoorsmen (Jesse Ventura’s euphemism for the homeless). I miss the days when all my possessions fit into my small car. My wife endorses Swedish Death cleaning. But the stuff we’ve accumulated over the years is not disappearing fast enough to zero out when we zero out. Sorry kids. The number for the dumpster service is in the Rolodex.

In the tradition of Scott Wolf, a little David Crosby Hollywood stuff. He portrayed a hippie and himself in movies, but the roll of Tickles in Hook is my favorite. He had undergone a liver transplant and Spielberg wanted him in the movie because there was no telling how long he’d be around.

Good thing USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac 12 before Coach Prime takes over. Colorado may be the toughest road game for USC next year with two five star CB’s roaming the secondary and the fastest player in the conference on offense for the Buffaloes. Thank goodness, they still lack linemen.
