Boy would I love a 5 man DL class with him, Abor, Jackson, Curry and Kanu.

Dang that would be sick.

Watching another game from last week between two bad teams, NC State and Cryami.

NC St got the ball near midfield, down by 1 with about 3 and a half minutes left. They threw the bomb, incomplete, on first down, then failed to get a first down and turned it over on downs. Even if the bomb had worked, they would have taken the lead too soon.

So then Miami converts a first down with a running clock and 2:32 to play with NC St out of timeouts. They snap it under 2 minutes and hand the ball off on a running play, risking a fumble. After that, they took two knees to end the game. But for over 30 seconds after they got the first down, Manny Diaz didn’t realize that he could take a knee on all 3 downs to end the game. WTF was he thinking about while the clock ran, his postgame press conference or late-night dinner? He’s in his third year as a head coach and making over $3 million a year, and it takes him over 30 seconds to realize he can kill the clock with kneel-downs?

Earlier in the 4th quarter Cryami had run into the FG kicker on a miss, allowing NC St to get 3 points on the second attempt. But that was just returning the favor, since earlier in the game NC St had jumped offside before Cryami snapped a FG attempt, which led to a TD instead of a FG.

A few examples of how not to win, from a couple of ACC coaches. Doeren is in his 9th year, also making over $3 million.

Zach gets the "Where are they now?" treatment in the Dispatch today: he works at Apple and just got married.

Appreciate it!

Well, not always. They still need a great support system top to bottom with very few exceptions. Donovan Peoples-Jones isn't dropping to the 6th round if he gets coached by Hartline for example. And Mack Brown didn't exactly maximize the talent he had at Texas either. Maybe Zach is that type of talent where it won't matter too much, but we've seen so many instances where it has that I think calibuck's sentiment is justified.

Understandable. And both of us can bring up points supporting our own arguments, like you could use that if Marvin Jones went to OSU instead of Free Shoes, he would probably have a better CFB career. DPJ is also a good example. But Mitch Trubisky went #2, and put 5 in the NFL last year. Rashod Bateman went in the 1st round from Minny instead of going to an SEC school. If you're good, the NFL will find you, support system from a school can definitely as can coaching. And Mack also put a ton of guys in the NFL. He didn't maximize his talent on the field at Texas, but still sent a lot of players to the pros.

I've always wanted to live in the Pacific NW. So much beauty up there.

Awful, awful. Heartbreaking stuff. Rest easy big guy.

I would LOVE to see Teddy Ginn in today's offense.

Nice tribute, that most didn't catch( I know I didn't)

This intro created quite the controversy on Twitter. While some people believe Adams has earned the right to call himself the best, what with an All-Pro selection in 2019, three Pro Bowl nods, and a four-year, $70 million extension signed this offseason, others found it cringeworthy that someone whose PFF rank — which places him 62nd of 85 qualified NFL safeties — would think so highly of himself. Even if Adams were ranked at the top, his egotistical utterance would just be viewed as cocky, boisterous, and narcissistic by a handful of NFL fans. However, Adams wasn’t calling himself the best in the nation on Sunday night. He was paying tribute to Trabis Ward.

Ward died on October 10, 2020 — almost exactly one year prior to the October 17 Seahawks-Steelers game — as a result of a shooting in Lauderdale Lakes. Ward was 31 years old and a father of three.

Haven't seen too many recruits that decide based on in season success, unless that program was really struggling in the past. Especially since you're on top of the heap right now.

Some get caught up in the moment of one big atmosphere, but that seems to pay more dividends with the younger ones than the guys in their final months before enrolling.

What is he waiting to see?

Not sure he's taken an OV yet. He's been for the Gameday atmosphere and I believe he caught the Arkansas game and sat with his family in the recruit section.

5-Star DL Prospect Mykel Williams Flips Commitment from USC to Georgia

Georgia has had my attention from the beginning, and nothing ever changed, but my love for Georgia now is stronger than ever. Even when I was committed to USC, Georgia never fully left my mind. I loved USC, and I liked them a lot, but Georgia was always there. They never went away. ... My love for Georgia is stronger now. I am locked in with Georgia."

What a gut punch.

So sorry to hear this bud.

2021 Edition:

Ohio State Fans Have Reserved 37 Percent Of Big Ten Championship Game Tickets On SI Tix
OCT 14, 2021
The Buckeyes are looking to win their fifth straight conference title this fall.

With games against No. 7 Penn State, No. 10 Michigan State and at No. 8 Michigan remaining, the back half of sixth-ranked Ohio State’s schedule will ultimately determine if the Buckeyes will reach the Big Ten Championship Game for the fifth straight season.

That difficult path hasn’t stopped fans from reserving tickets to the conference title game, though, as SI Tix is reporting that 37 percent of tickets have been reserved by the Scarlet and Gray faithful.

That’s by far the most from any Big Ten East Division program, with the Nittany Lions at 14 percent and the Spartans at seven percent of tickets reserved for the game, which takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Dec. 4.

Entire article: https://www.si.com/college/ohiostat...7-percent-big-ten-championship-tickets-si-tix

Ohio State: 37%
Ped State: 14%
Sparty: 7%

Gee, what B1G East school that is currently undefeated is missing from that list? You have to give their fans credit on realizing that their team still SUCKS and won't be playing in Indianapolis (yet again) this year......

Still lost. No big deal

Will bump again in about a decade.
