I think he might be my only one. But, I visit at least once a month. And, always leave with a smile on my face.
Here is my advice to new grandparents... get a special wooden box that fits index cards and keep it handy at all times. In it you write down all the whells off, comical, and otherwise memorable things the grandkids say between the age of 2-4ish. As parents we were all so busy being parents that we miss so many nuggets of gold. As grandparents we have no such anxieties so we can fully enjoy these little bundles of joy.

I will give you an example, once my 3 year old grandson went to use the bathroom and when he returned he said, "Papi, when I'm hot my balls are hot... but when I'm cold my balls are cold". PURE GOLD

I'm sure the parents were happy/relieved that you didn't use this opportunity to give him some Rush Chair information about some of the other feelings he may experience there in the future. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

At least he didn’t say, “ Papi, when I am 6 I am gonna start wrecking chicks!”

The transfer portal needs to end. Michigan has 21 players in the portal and Marshall had to withdraw from their bowl game due to a depleted roster.
I really think a lot of these players are on a year by year NIL budget and if they do not bubble up to the 2 deep active rotation their yearly "stipend" decreases so they basically start looking for a better paying job. For a kid that will likley not ever play in the NFL, this represents the best way to make some money before they move on to less paying jobs.

Maybe but Mack didn’t contribute much at Bama this year. Is there any reason to think he would have at Penn State? The secondary room is pretty good. He was a depth piece at this point.

He played as a True Freshman and would have started after KJW went down. Yeah, I think his absence hurt us.

So the NCAA has created its own cottage industry.

There were tentative plans that he would visit PSU this weekend. Alas, that visit never took place.

PSU hosted him (I think before Christmas; can't remember exactly when), and felt good about their chances of landing him. News was pretty quiet about him over the holidays, but then it came out that Oklahoma was trying to get him to visit, and then he did visit either late last week or over the weekend. Oh well, sometimes it's pretty easy to predict where those in the portal will end up, and other times it's not.

More good news from the portal.
