ParksAndRecRick's Ramblings....I was one of the few non parents who went to Akron last Saturday. Frankly, I'm sorry we didn't have a Mean Green Travel Package to Akron/Canton. With the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland it would have been a fun and affordable trip for many of the Mean Green faithful......Another interesting point was that the All-American Soap Box Derby was located adjacent to The Rubber Bowl. I bet everyone remembers that. Pretty neat.........The fans were interesting. They had a beer garden attched to the Stadium and at half virtually every student made the trip. The Stadium was a CCC project, built in the 30s. The lights were on the field which was very unusual, but it had grand site lines. They are hoping for a new stadium in six years as well.....I know many of you don't care about this, but all the way through the game the entire team was on its feet and willing the Mean Green to come back. I saw no player throw in the towel. And, for a break here or there, we might have had the same finish of the Irish last Saturday....Jamario looked GRAND! Great effort. His run up the middle was a vintage Patrick Cobbs!....Woody was a step from breaking a big play at least 3 times.....What about those special teams blocks. They had to hurry all the punts in the second half.....It will be GRAND to get Graves back. He is a big time defensive player for the Green.....Anyway, I'm excited about Saturday. For those who haven't seen our games against Middle Tennessee, it is a GRAND rival for the Mean Green now. It was this game that started our GRAND conference winning streak. I remember going over to the Bondfire after that game. It was a GRAND feeling....I believe the power of the GREEN will be a-blazing on Saturday!....Don't forget the Mean Green March at 4pm as we welcome the MEAN GREEN to the Start of the Sunbelt Conference Race!......Ain't Easy to Be Green, But Sure is FUN!!!!!

Thanks for the information Rick. It is nice to have some positive comments from the game.

I never did get a chance to say Thank You for helping me book our day at Lone Star Park in the suite that we won. It was AMAZING! And we can't wait to go back.

If you are planning a raffle this year at all just holler and I will see what I can do about donating more hotel certificates.

See ya on Saturday!!!

My wife and I had a great night out (a rare night without kids!) using the hotel certificate we won.

Thanks!

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
