Running CFB transfer thread 2021-22

[micropolitan guy]

If there are any scholarship QBs on the roster, they're not feeling particularly loved at this point.

The guy who was the previous starter is also in the portal as a graduate student. They signed a guy last week and there's one other scholarship QB.

In the last three weeks Pitt has landed one of the top QBs and now one of the top WRs in the portal.

I read that a group of Texas boosters has started a "Pancake Club" that will pay the UT offensive linemen $800,000 endorse something to be determined. This will work out to $50,000 per lineman and is to be evenly split. I doubt such concerns about quality and other socialist nonsense will be applied to the endorsement deal for the starting quarterback. And if the O-line is getting 50k a man the other position groups are not going to work for whatever they are currently getting paid under the table.

I see this leading to big changes in athletic department fundraising. I would think most college athletes would prefer the money invested in a new locker room would go directly to them. So instead of schools hustling money for new training rooms and higher coaching salaries they will have alums set up these endorsement clubs that will funnel money to the recruits.

And if a D-1 school does not enjoy substantial financial support from the alumni it should apply to join its regional juco league because the upper classmen that remain will not be worth a damn anyway

What do you think the UT boosters will have them endorse? I'm thinking My Pillow.

Made with Hillbilly Flour, no doubt. Pass the biscuits, pappy.

I'm certain Neutral Corner has way more expertise in this matter, but you're always at some risk of something going very wrong during surgery, mainly because of other factors (age, health, etc.). You just don't expect an 18-year-old football player to be on the wrong end of the dice roll.

I think the fatality rate for my prostate cancer surgery is about 1:1000, but that takes into consideration the number of extremely elderly men with chronic medical conditions who have a heart attack, stroke, pneumonia or sepsis. My odds had to have been significantly better. But I won't lie and tell you I didn't have at least a passing thought that morning that I might "go to sleep" and not wake back up.

Even something as "simple" as having your wisdom teeth removed results in around 3 fatalities per 1 million operations.

I hate it for the Roper family because as Donny in his element mentioned, there was no way they could have known -- or imagined -- such a rare situation would turn out to kill their son.

Surgery guarantees nothing.

If only some would realize that it is not a magic pill. It's not a one-move, one-button sort of solution. Procedures have a degree of risk, however small, however much technological advances have helped.

Yes, if death is imminent, if the pain or discomfort is that noticeable, then it's understandable in many cases. But, for the love of all things sane, let cases like this be a reminder that ... surgery guarantees nothing.

Wazzu QB DeLaura in the portal. He was pretty good about half the time in 2021.

As good as our medical tech has become, and as skilled as our surgeons are, the law of averages still rules. A healthy patient can throw a clot and have a stroke or heart attack. Something can go wrong with anesthesia, or a patient can have a sudden adverse reaction to meds. The surgeon can nick a major artery or vein by accident and cause a bleed. shirt happens. It happens to the old and young, the very ill and the otherwise healthy.

There are always risks in any major surgery, and the definition of minor surgery is "surgery on someone else".
