Joli TD lancé par QB N'Kosi Perry pour WR Bruno Escobar, les Raiders sont en difficulté contre le jeu au sol de Madrid mais ça commence à trouver du rythme chez eux aussi. #ELF
QB @crveltkamp & DT Bryce Langston spoke with @espn about their experiences at #FAU & their relationship with HC @ZKittley during Day 2️⃣ of the #American Conference Media Days!🦉🏈
a look at the official CAA media day on Zoom compared to the Conference USA media day on ESPN+
Before #CAAFB media day 2 gets started, notable ▶️ from day 1 D’Antonio opened by saluting Sacred Heart’s entrance next year & recognizing Nova + W&M FB on their way out. Rhody HC Jim Fleming went to bat for the conf: “Don’t know why anybody chooses to leave the doggone thing.”
Some quotes from Zach Kittley at The American Conference media days. He was only asked a few questions, all by @TommyCFB: “I know I’m 33 and he’s 21-22 but he’s (Veltkamp) like a son to me” “I’m giving him (Veltkamp) the keys to the Ferrari, and I’m going to let him go.”
#FAU is Celebrating 2⃣5⃣ Years as a Program. Head Coach @ZKittley has a message for the @NFFNetwork and @CFBHall regarding @FAUFootball Founder @Schnellenberger and We STRONGLY AGREE with him. Let's Get 👏 It 👏 Done👏

Congratulations Todd! #WIP🏝️ 📰 : tinyurl.com/KniebbeOrioles
A lot of articles regarding my question about fullbacks to Bill Belichick. Not being given a lot of credit for it, though🤨
Clemson swiped the best player off Nevada, Utah Valley and Middle Tennessee as well as a starter from Georgia with this supposedly-meager budget. Them not being able to afford to keep their eighth man from last year is a question of priorities more than lack of funds.
Another example of how DI basketball teams at schools without football can potentially have a recruiting advantage now. Del Jones transferred from Clemson to Radford after Radford offered him more rev share $. Radford doesn’t have to use any cap space on football.
Miami does not a play a road contest until heading to Ole Miss in December. Give me the Rebs by 15+

I think Coach Leach would approve of the staff retreat in Key West🏴☠️

I worked for The American when I was 25. I made $20,000, was required to be in by 8:30, and regularly worked from home until 10-11 PM. If we wonder why college athletics has a staff exodus, it's because money's spent on a cartoon linebacker eagle instead of adequate staffing.
