  1. I don't know. I mean I think Davis is better but he already starts. I'd like to see the Boyd snaps go to a guy with 2-3 years left who has upside.
  2. I'm not a GM but I think I have a pretty good handle on how it works. The fifth year option for the team for first round picks is there for the team's benefit, not the players. My point was that the NFL player's union sucks. They signed a terrible CBA that is costing them billions of dollars over the life of the deal.
  3. It's maddening how badly Herman has managed skill position snaps on offense. He's gotten better at it, generally speaking the right WRs get the most snaps...but man he still sucks at divvying up RB snaps. Ingram is much better than all the rest. He should get every snap if the game is in question unless there is a workload/injury concern. Tre is solid but he just doesn't run as well as Ingram. Young, at this point in the season looking at his body of work, should not get snaps unless the game is decided. Porter should not get any more snaps until Senior day and then only if his parents are there. NFI if we'll ever see CJ's brother or TC again.
  4. I'm pretty sick of reading and hearing about Boyd being our best corner. He isn't very good, certainly not great. He gets beaten badly multiple times a game and is always good for at least one drive extending penalty per game. I think Davis is better overall and I would also be in favor of giving a younger guy with more upside Boyd reps. K State went to Boyd's side intentionally, after they switched QBs and introduced the forward pass to their offense. It nearly won them the game.
  5. The way they were calling the game, very one sided and nothing at all on K State, I was completely surprised they did not get him for taunting after the sack/safety. I think the TV guy might have been right, if Nelson and 23 don't rip right out of there, he might have gotten rung up.
  6. I'd guess K State is generally under penalized relative to the rest of the Big 12 just because it seems like something you'd associate with a coach like Snyder. But fuck 10-0 in penalties? That does not happen, and if it does the game was called poorly. It can't happen, it threatens the integrity of the game result. We all know Big 12 refs are shit but there needs to be some kind of follow up to this. And honestly, I felt like most of the time we got flagged it was earned, minus the unsportsmanlike on Zach. But they just refused to call anything on K State. So many holds my god. Also 71 is a piece of shit, he was getting away with murder. There was a play where he and Gary Johnson were going at it and I guess he felt like Gary had his hands in his face for too long after the whistle and he started throwing punches trying to get separation from. Right in front of a fucking official and nothing. It was very inconsistently officiated. I was really surprised Charles O did not get taunting called when he stood over their QB and leaned down at him after the sack/safety. Thank god we won. I'd be at just below Ok St criminally fixed needed an FBI investigation game levels of outrage. edit: On the Wheeler defensive holding on a successful run by their QB...I was initially very triggered because of, again, the fucking Ok St heist where that happend...but when I saw the replay...a good ref wouldnt have flagged it because it had zero impact on the play and was so far away from the ball, but I mean to me at least, it looked like Wheeler knocked down an eligible receiver even if the RB might have oversold the impact. From a rules perspective, I don't know if it should have been tacked on to the run or not.
  7. The whole reason I mentioned Penn State 2016 up thread was to point out that there are some other non Ohio State teams at the top of the Big 10 that are good/relevant. Its hindsight, but again 2016 Ohio State got destroyed by Clemson. It was a pretty bad look, the only worse playoff appearance was probably Michigan State getting mudholed by Bama. So, in retrospect, was Penn State worse than that? Do they get shut out by Clemson and lose by 31? I don't think so, but who knows.
  8. 2016 Penn State was pretty good. They had an argument, IMO, to get into the Playoff ahead of Ohio State. Ohio State got destroyed by Clemson that year.
  9. I like the Fox coverage, especially Klatt. I really used to hate Neuheisel because of Colorado and then his goddamn kid beating us and all. He's on the Dan Patrick show a couple of times a year and its true what they say, time heals all wounds. I like him now. He tells good stories and seems cool. He had a funny anecdote about Harbaugh beating him: I am pretty down on ESPN over the past few years, just across the board.
  10. To me the NFL player's union is just objectively terrible relative to the other unions. To the point where it seems like the owners run it. Why did they agree to slotted contracts based on draft round and position? 'Oh well it only applies to rookies and they have not put in their dues'. But then you peel the onion back and...the teams have a 5th year option for every 1st round player which is a hedge against having to pay them market value for another year when if a guy is good enough to pull that 5th year trigger the team has almost certainly already gotten the player for 4 years at below market value. Then if he's really good but they don't want him long term, bang franchise tag. Year 7 coming up? Still don't want to get married, bang franchise tag again! Player gets hurt...team cuts bait and now the player is gonna get on a vet minimum shit deal with someone willing to gamble on him and a positional need. They got so incredibly screwed in the last CBA with league...and they keep re-electing the same idiot who agreed to that deal.
  11. Why is it two CIS gender females? Transphobic much? Wont be watching. #NOTALLWOMYNHAVEVAGINAS
  12. I bought a PS4 Pro to play God of War. It was well worth it.
  13. Nice clean Fox highlights Sterns is going to be an all timer but man Brandon Jones has really come on this year as well. He slammed a dude to the turf with one arm (:37s) after his pick. Its not in these highlights, but he also popped the hell out of Turpin on a sideline catch.
  14. Cal is 3-0 with a win over 3-1 BYU. BYU is ranked 20. Cal is ranked...24.
  15. Yeah Gameday is there next week. Our game being on Fox kind of hurts us for RRS. They will go to places when they don't have the game but they look for excuses not to, it seems like.
  16. I think I am more surprised TCU did not make the cut.
  17. 18 in AP https://collegefootball.ap.org/poll
  18. On TFB someone said he got booted off his HS team...anyone have the story there? edit: Seems like a bad sign
  19. Definitely some parallels but one huge difference is that USC got choked out whereas ND took it to OT. -5 rushing yards on the game and USC shut out after the first frame. That's pretty stunning.
  20. Football is not going anywhere. Boxing is a thing. MMA is a thing. How would your argument apply to those sports? We should ban the closed fist and only allow slaps? But not to the head because of basic human decency?
  21. Yeah he did. His top speed is very high and he gets to it quickly. I think he's going to be a great NFL player.
  22. Desmond is definitely the worst of the talking heads they trot out. Rece Davis is not terrible but he's not Fowler. Fowler was great at his job. It really needs to go back to two hours but I guess that ship has sailed because money.
  23. I thought 'An Ohio State University' was the best sign.
  24. Does TCU have anyone that would get snaps over Porter? Doubtful.
  25. We need stickers on every helmet that declare them to be CTE free zones. Why hasn't anyone thought of this? Seriously though, the rule as it is written is terrible. Foster was supposed to have gone at his knees? Or just not hit him as hard? Or maybe just kind of catch the runner and hope he stops? It's not a safe sport to play. The targeting rule does not make it any measurably safer, it just makes pussies feel better about watching a violent game. Watch a guard's helmet on pretty much every snap. When are we banning line play because safety? Also why are boxing and MMA ok but football has to CHANGE OR DIE!?!?
