I remember this play, he reached up with his long arm and one of his big mitts and knocked the pass down… it was a great play!

Too bad we lost him and Powell to Pur-who but it’s the nature of the beast now being a G5 program.

I know he played a little but he is someone we can’t beat without replace with a new guy!

Correa played a bit. 16 total tackles a pass defended and forced fumble in limited action.

He was slotted in to start next to McDuffie this season according to camp reports.

That's as succinct as it gets. We're not jilted lovers or haters. We represent the well being of UNLV we are fans. Hence, we are fanatical. If my coach is being interviewed and he calls out tampering by god it's tampering.

If BO wants to leave ok do it honorably and you're welcome back anytime. These were society's rules put in place to allow individual progress without chaos. Now the world is run by the likes of Titanic's last passengers with no lifeboats; every man for himself.

UNLV is one of my last loves I'll bite, scratch, do whatever to see her rise once more before the good lord calls for me!(tongue and cheek)

Exactly!

Nobody can blame him for taking the job there, too much money on the table.

The only problem I had with Odom was that last week or so on the job. We were in a championship game against a team we have not beat in forever and without our OC?

He bailed early, like Cheeseburger did in basketball, that was the issue I had with him!

It’s how he left not that he left for more money, anyone of us would have done the same!

You can't say that he will be able to save the money for future use, and then mention how the cost of living is 22% lower as a justification to increase the difference between the value of the contracts unless he is going to spend 100% of what he makes every year.

I think that's a flaw in my reasoning, you're probably right there. The difference after you figure housing, normal expenses is probably much closer to 100k a year unless BO balls harder than I think. Now if you invest in things like property and franchises THEN your money will go much further but that's not what I said.

As someone who lived in Indiana now for more than a decade after moving from Vegas I can anecdotally completely disagree. Even after you factor in state, county, and property taxes my dollar goes much further here than it ever did in vegas adjusting for inflation.

The issue is while it is far more expensive to purchase a home in Las Vegas, you will also get a much greater return on your house when you sell the home.

Based on median home values, the West Lafayette market is up 6.0% over the last year, while Vegas is only up 1.9%. So you'd have to purchase a home 300% in value to get the same increase. And if you paid more for your home you'll have to pay more in taxes and a higher relative realtor fee meaning the profit in the West Lafayette property will almost assuredly be more. Just as I was wrong before about oversimplifying the cost of living, I think you're grossly oversimplifying how making money off property works.

And if we're going to play the 'after taxes' game, then you most certainly have to include the 'cost-of-living' game, West Lafayette is about 22% lower cost of living INCLUDING income taxes. So that 1.5 million is really 1.8 million a year--of course that's also assuming that he's just paying the full tax burden and not acting like every other millionaire as well. Not to mention that he gets a super sweet 75% of that total if he's terminated without cause, and that his buyout if he does well enough to step up to the next level of P4 and is only 3 million bucks. I was amazed at how much further my dollar went here in Indiana from Vegas, and I live in Indy which is about 6% more expensive than West Lafayette.

The money is enough for most people to make that switch, but he's also got a fantastic coach-weighted contract, he's closer to the area of the country where he's from and his friends and family and he gets that sweet sweet B1G revenue sharing which should make recruiting a little easier.. If someone offered me a 50% raise to move back to Vegas and be in an employment position where I had real leverage I would have to consider it--and I ain't making 7 figures.

You can't have it both ways. You can't say that he will be able to save the money for future use, and then mention how the cost of living is 22% lower as a justification to increase the difference between the value of the contracts unless he is going to spend 100% of what he makes every year. Most of the cost to live in Indiana are very similar to Las Vegas, with the exception of medical which is a lot more expensive in Indiana due to a lot of issues including a major issues with a shortage of doctors, and Las Vegas being almost twice as expensive to purchase a home. The issue is while it is far more expensive to purchase a home in Las Vegas, you will also get a much greater return on your house when you sell the home.

Generational wealth is having financial resources that lasts several generations. Generational wealth is a very tough thing to achieve, I recall that the stats show that wealth rarely goes past the 3rd generation.

There have been studies and psychoanalysis on why it is tough (kids grow up with major issues etc.). It’s not a sure thing.

It’s possible and it’s also possible at unlv to have the financial means to take care of your family and their family. If Odom is smart with the money and has solid financial support system that helps invest etc, then yes. But making millions, your margin for error is not high, one bad investment and it could sink you.

Again, the difference in take home pay is not significant. You can achieve the same financial goals on both salaries.


So knowing that, he didn’t leave because of money. He left because he didn’t like Las Vegas long term, and wanted back to his Midwest roots. Not all that different than TJO.

I agree with the bottom part about the fit/Midwest roots coming into play. I'm sure it played a role.

But if I'm in a position to where my kids could be handed multiple rental properties or franchise opportunities, that's money/investments that can be handed down to their kids potentially. I view that as generational.

You view it differently. Totally understandable.

I just don't think people should ever underestimate the sway money has on others. Even if it doesn't seem like that much more.

I don’t know how else to explain that I’m tired of the people on here that think their response is so needed and insightful, that they’ll respond to a quick message with a multi- paragraph informative showcasing their intelligence. It’s constant. It’s total narcissism. To top it off by responding that my response is inconsequential, and then to defend by saying they are in fact consequential is surreal to witness. @Bullmastiff 1 I’m talkin to you buddy. This isn’t chest pumping….this is calling out overinflated personalities

I don't think I'm right about everything. I readily admit when I've been wrong. I've told numerous posters that after a discussion. There are any number of posters on here that I engage with and sometimes we agree and sometimes we don't. Even those I disagree with frequently I value their perspective.

You also misread what I said.

I said whether you agree with me or not is inconsequential. I didn't say you were inconsequential or that your post was inconsequential.

Me saying I'm consequential is ball busting/joke.
