If you're not a broke college student/teenager, there's no excuse for eating delivery chain pizza.

I pointed out that UL’s former AD (Jurich) is higher up w/in Adidas. It was a conflict of interest for their newest contract negotiations in which they violated the terms of our deal to give a higher compensation to UL. So yeah, there’s that.

See comment above my guy , & not sure y u’re yawning at my boys’ post @FrankSmokesDank. This is one of the reasons we got screwed on our contract. No other team in the ACC were to receive more $$ from Adidas than us, & b/c of nepotism, Adidas slid UL a massive contract behind our back.

The quality in frozen pizza has gotten better over the years but the price has also gotten to the point where it's not really much cheaper than just ordering a pizza.

Every neighborhood needs an "Antonio's" or a "Mario's" or whatever generic Italian restaurant that makes solid pizza and no frills pasta/red sauce dishes.

My homie used to work for Nestle who’s the parent company of Digorno. He used to always hook us up for game day parties/events. No lie, it was pretty good under the circumstances, but to ur point, the prices kept raising.

L.A has some really good pizza spots, but unfortunately for me, they r usually in high traffic areas that don’t deliver outside of a 10 mile radius. It’s just a hassle to try to go to those side of town b/c of traffic & heavy congestion.

If they violated the terms, does that give us an out?

Yeeeeeah, there’s a lot of things that could’ve gave us an out w/ Adidas under Blake’s watch. Fact is, buddy didn’t even know he was being swindled. It took someone outside of the program who was familiar w/ the language of “flagship” regarding Adidas who had to prompt Blake in to even investigate the matter.

We’ll have 5 yrs remaining on our contract starting this season, & I’ve heard from several there’s rumblings about early termination, but it needs to make sense.

Like I told ppl from the outset, be very weary & leery of all this love that’s being shown b/c Adidas did the same thing to UofM, & w/in 5 yrs of the 8 yr deal it soured. Adidas, w/ Ye’s antics, have become a cool streetwear brand (although now he’s complaining about them, smh), but they r still behind in athletics.

However, I want everyone to look no further than the assistance that Adidas has given to both KU & UL in terms of recruiting. Why? B/c KU is their biggest collegiate basketball brand & UL is filled w/ nepotism. Posters kept saying “but, but, we’re a priority for Adidas.” I kept lol’ing at this notion & I stood firm that we weren’t; Adidas banked on us & we didn’t give them the returns they hoped, but KU & UL r their priorities. Even though both us & UL r repped by Adidas, it’s UL that’s being a benefactor of this sponsorship arrangement b/c of cronyism & nepotism.

I like Adidas over Nike personally. I have no clue about what your talking about as far as $ or recruiting but I just got some fire Adidas Canes gear from Caneswear like 2 months ago. We are paying our coach 8mil a year & his specialty is crooting. I dont care if we are rocking Sketchers we need to recruit well thats why we are paying the man.

Well ur preference is ur preference. Some ppl like well done steak over medium-rare/medium. No judgment here.

Yes, we r paying Mario $8m, & that said $8m went to great use as he closed the **** out of the class of ‘22. I think there’s a fundamental gap in our fan base’s mind;

1. The season hasn’t started yet

2. The man is trying to undue 18 yrs worth of mediocrity & poor draft results, yet fans expect things to go Kaboom in 6 months.

We will recruit well, there’s no doubt about it.

I mentioned how UL just dipped into my state at a powerhouse school & snagged several top 50 CA players, & now they snagged the #2 RB in the nation.

Feeling very A&Mish

UL has invested in facilities starting back when surprise Howard S arrived!. UL has a fairly strong alumni group that wants to win so no surprise on recruiting wins...... they had to have added some recruiting studs in off season as well

I think the progrum is night & day since he came into the building. Lots of work to do but the foundation seems promising. I also agree and think they will clean up on the trail, if they don’t being an Adidas school cant be a built in excuse (not saying it would be, but it’s brought up a lot)

Ironic that the post before this one has a picture of an Ibis for an avatar. An Ibis with teeth.

Lol. Not necessarily ironic, but fair enough.

Birds also don’t have arms, hands, sweaters, pipes and funny little hats. Our toothed bird is clearly an anthropomorphic caricature. Theirs? Not so much.
