Putting together 50+ new players from all over can't be easy, culture, bonds, communication. Switching QBs a big change.

"In 2023, there were 127,216 reported rape cases in the United States."

Your commentary omits the 500% to 800% increase in reported rapes in Europe (depending on the country) the past three decades. What caused this?

Why the preponderance of minors being raped?

Europe is great, I love it. A friend went recently and had no issues.

But don't be naive. Western Europe has had substantial changes, leading some officials, as one example, to propose banning knives.

BTW, the above Regents Park area looks posh, reportedly a prestigious and affluent residential neighborhood.

France = 110 rapes per day, 40,000 per year, 58% minors.

How often dies Spanos sell out?

Marion gers a better offer, gets gone. And now he's proven he can recruit from the portal.

This smells like Woods' brother will be part of the design / build team.

I still don't see the benefit in moving off campus, it sounds like a lateral move at best.

SLO's Madden Center / training / offices/ new locker rooms are nearing completion, an initial cost of $30 million ballooned to $45 million. A blurb on the web said Spanos Stadium would increase to 22,000 capacity, but I see no update there.

What am I missing here, $171M and move 4 miles off campus. What have they gained, closer to the field w no track?

Why not rebuild the current stadium in sections?

Nick King is the last potent sackman I recall. He had 8 sacks in 2013.

Jacob Psyk already has 4.5 sacks.

I spent ten weeks in Europe in 2000. A few snippets:

- I stopped a North African man who manhandled an African woman in front of Gare du Nord train station by alerting police while locals did nothing.
- an African man was manhandling a drunk Parisian woman in a night club in the Republique area. I don't speak French, so had limited insight. The patrons (mostly White) ignored it, a behavior Americans wouldn't tolerate.
- late at night in Paris, several young Parisians (White) were arguing outside, cursing, and repeatedly spitting at each other from a distance. Odd.
- I witnessed a large middle eastern bar manager and crew in the République midday drag out a feeble, argumentative, drunk Parisian man outside. Said manager returned a few minutes later, released a weighted piece, knuckles red, and dipped his hand in ice. He must have been pulverized. A travesty. I finished my beer and departed.

Guys transfer all the time and don't thrive. Look at Jayden Ott. Like Coach Gould said, if you're good, they find you.

Western Europe has issues, how big they are considered is subjective.

Many sources say crime has increased across Western Europe the past 10-15 years. London has soaring knife crimes, and cell phone thefts, often by criminals snatching cell phones from their motorcycle.

Paris: "In 2023, the number of victims of sexual violence was more than double that of 2016"

Some say France is still tame compared to New York City.

Are you aware of what I allude to?

Be careful, and do tell us if Paris has changed as much as some say.

That last sentence. ^^^

Correction: Miles was an elite game manager w an NFL RB, and weapons at WR like Hutton and Davis. We had a short field w his arm.

Maybe a stout D lineman in the Toki FB role is safer for the playoffs / big games?

Ah... we won. Bigly.
