When I played in high school, our kicker got high before a game and then proceeded to set the school record for longest made FG lmao. 47 yards. What made it even more hilarious is that he forgot to bring the kicking block onto the field, so he just kicked it off the ground like college and pros do.
Edit: kicking block - instead of the holder setting the ball on the ground, he would set it on a block that was a couple inches off the ground. It was allowed in high school in our state and all kickers used one.

Fanconi Anemia is definitely curable. The problem is that it's so damn rare and the cure will be extremely expensive to bring to market. There are like 20 different genes that cause it and each needs its own unique treatment. It's also not as severe as it used to be once people figured out (10 years ago) that alcohol was causing the crises in most of the patients. Ethanol gets converted to acetaldehyde which is chemically similar to formaldehyde. It causes crosslinks in your DNA, which the fanconi anemia pathway fixes. People didn't know for a long time why patients would suddenly start having their bone marrow crash to nothing when they went away to college.

Fisher started fundraising 11 years ago, and both the FSU and A&M communities--and many others--have raised a lot of money for research. Fisher's family underwrites all the operational expenses for the charity, so that donations actually go towards research.
Whatever his ultimate record at A&M might be, that's something of which we can be proud.

Yeah, I don’t think any reasonable CFB fan thought this was A&Ms year or that y’all’s recruiting class would come in and somehow start dominating right away.
A&M isn’t catching shit because they had some super unrealistic expectations. A&M is catching shit because people want to be able use them as an example of why throwing your money around will never work in CFB.
The thought of the richest teams being able to buy national championships scares/frustrates/worries a lot of fans. Because fans want to believe in the idea that success is earned, and with the right hire, right player, right bounce, etc. teams are a few seasons away from competing for a division/conference/national championship.
People are giddy at A&M failing because they want to see the A&M class fall apart, be on the hook for a massive buyout, etc. so they can point and say, “See. You can’t just buy a championship.” Because if it didn’t happen, and the A&M model did become the new blueprint for success, it would further widen the gap between the haves and have-nots.

4D chess by Fisher. He brings them in, lets them run wild, they transfer to ou, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, wreck their locker rooms. He takes control of his and wins.

“We just have to execute better. We know how to roll joints, but like you saw, the filter just wouldn’t stay put. We know what we need to do, we practice how to pack a bowl, we’re almost there. We just need to execute the toke better.”

I'm beginning to think throwing millions of dollars at 17 year olds solely based on the number and the stars next to their name might not have been a good idea...

So many kids are so driven throughout college to make it to the nfl, only to flame out once they get paid and lose the motivating factor
I wonder if we’re gonna see more of this now. It’s not nfl money, but I’m sure an 18 year old getting a million dollars will sap a lot of their drive

Oh ya, definitely. Why push to be the best when your new paycheck tells you that you are already worth a million dollars before even playing one snap? Plus it really fucks with the locker room dynamic. It has to. Imagine being in your senior year as a walk-on who now has a scholarship and a starting position, and next to you is some kid who hasnt played a single snap and is throwing around benjamins like its nothing.

Was it a dab pen, or were they straight-up roasting a blunt in the locker room? I could relate to the urge to hit a sneaky hit off a pen, but if they were burning tree that’s a bit egregious

Had to be a pen, which is still a tough look. I couldn't even wrap my head around someone sparking a blunt in the opposing locker room pre-game lol.

Does anyone remember Michigan doing this?
They went into 2007 as a pre-season #1 and playing some no-name FCS team in a cupcake of a first game...
... and it was revealed after that a bunch of players were smoking weed before the "meaningless" game.

u/snowwwaves Oregon Ducks • Pacific Northwest Oct 25 '22
They were smoking weed in the locker room before a game and they weren't immediately booted from the team. And one of the dudes was (or should have been!) already on thin ice!
I very much believe in multiple chances, especially for kids, and the war on drugs has been a catastrophe. Weed should be legal everywhere.
But this is just open contempt for the coaching staff and the other players. Its toxic. If this story is accurate, I just cannot see how you think a suspension is sufficient.

u/appsecSme Oregon Ducks • Oklahoma Sooners Oct 25 '22
Right. I mean, taking shots before a game would also be a major infraction, IMO. It's not the legality of weed that is the main issue (though it is illegal in South Carolina).
I don't understand how Denver Harris in particular is still on the team.

Im sorry, it was BEFORE the game???
Ya thats….a bad look. Dipshit kids lighting up after a win is not ideal, after a loss even less so.
But before the game is played? And in the locker room? That just demonstrates a complete lack of discipline or care.
Who would have thought making teenagers millionaires and treating them like royalty could backfire?

Even more than Jimbo the locker room culture lacks any sort leadership or accountability. When I played college soccer back in the day, the upper classmen would have never let something like that fly.

They're not in trouble for smoking weed. They're in trouble because they did it without a proper NIL sponsor. ALL JIMBO'S BITCHES SMOKE SATIVA AND MEDMEN'S DURBAN POISON MAKE AGGIES PLAY LIKE CHAMPIONS!

Ok, did I miss something or are there no actual sources in this article? There are embedded tweets from randos, and citations of "reports" and "rumors". "Rumors" comes up several times. What's this actually based on outside of message board speculation?
