  1. Norm went to the NFL the previous spring.
  2. All the list above means is that the teams with the tradition of juggernaut defensive lines tend to win against the other good teams once there's a certain threshold of games played. Unless you're James Franklin, though his DL's always seemed like more a collection of individual standouts than a great group. Penn State's inability to win big games is weird.
  3. I sometimes wonder how much of Sark's reputation as being a brilliant offensive playcaller is just the Norm Chow disciple shine he got early in his career.
  4. Got you. I think Nebraska, unless they catch lightning in a bottle, are done as a powerhouse. There will be good years, but they don't have a natural recruiting base. If anything, Minnesota's more likely to have some strange resurgence... But they're both relics as far as I'm concerned. There were advantages that don't exist anymore. Maybe CHS or Cargill decide they wanna roll with the Gophers I guess? I dunno. This TD brought to you by Target? I don't think you gotta wait for the data to catch up. Once the reason it's over is apparent, it's pretty much over.
  5. They do. It just takes a while. Or are Nebraska and Minnesota back? Because that's a lot of old and currently irrelevant championships.
  6. They're soft. Moreover, Riley basically lost a few games because he wouldn't stick to a working run game. PJ Fleck was basically calling him out on the predictability after they lost to Minnesota. Also, their best player on D got hurt. Eric Gentry is a beautiful gazelle of a linebacker that I wish never left ASU. Dude played like 4 games and still lead the team in TFLs.
  7. To be fair, they're old transfers. Most of them were brought in a while ago. Sun Devils have the most returning starters from a team in the P4. The transfers are because of the mass exodus during all the NCAA bullshit- Keep in mind, ASU prior to all their problems had Jayden Daniels, Omar Norman-Lott, Ricky Pearsall, Johnny Wilson Jr., Elijhah Badger, Jermayne Lole et al all supposed to come back. Then disaster and roster depletion. So they brought in new dudes, and new dudes were good enough to win the Big 12. And now those new dudes are the highest returning starter count in the country. ASU returns 17 starters. And like 17 backups. It's a LOADED team by any stretch of the word besides recruit ranking.
  8. I don't care what meds he forgot to take, this is fantastic. He's a complete shit show. Remember that Key and Peele Anger translator bit? Aranda needs a Narnia translator.
  9. You bought a broken Lole. What Texas got was reasonable depth, but nothing like the 2019/2020 version. He got hurt over and over again and was a shell.
  10. Jordyn Tyson would have been a late 1st rounder this year if he didn't break his collar bone in the last game of the regular season. It wasn't a 1 year wonder. He was Colorado's best player on a dogshit team and dipped when Deion came in to recuperate, then was outstanding once Leavitt got to slow the game down. ASU lost a game because Leavitt was hurt against Utah, but between the Cincinnati loss and bye, it felt like everything clicked and Tyson went off. Leavitt threw 16 TD's to 1 INT in the latter half of the season with a lot of it going to Tyson. And Tyson has all the stuff. Decent size, really fast, great routes, great contested ball catcher and he can make plays. If Tyson's collar bone isn't broken, he's probably a late 1st rounder in this last draft. You missed on ASU's 2nd or 3rd best play maker. Which... Look, nobody was beating OSU so it's just bragging rights, but they had another dude y'all didn't deal with that would be a problem.
  11. None of 'em. They're hoping Dillingham's a lifer. He's from the Valley, went to ASU, got his first college job at ASU, etc. Think he's still the youngest FBS HC, or at least "power conference" head coach. Dude's in his mid 30s.
  12. Yeah. Look, we've been waiting for the "Quiet Giant" to wake up for decades, but I think Dillingham is the right guy at the right time. Helps that a bunch of his staff are former AZ HS coaches that all won a bunch of state championships. There's like 3 of them, plus Ward the DC is a valley guy and Arroyo just got burned on starting the UNLV rebuild before being fired so someone else could win with his guys. They've got a ton of investment from the coaching staff, not just NIL managing to keep the roster intact.
  13. ASU lost like 5 or 6 people from their entire 2 deep, brought in a 1,000 yard rusher to replace Skattebo and is somehow going from #7 in the last top 25 to mid teens and I'd just love someone to justify it besides "Well Texas really wasn't trying" or some shit. They have an All American caliber WR that missed the CCG and Peach Bowl back now too. There's some preseason cooking going on.
  14. Might be a year early, but if Anthony Smith from MN puts it all together, he's going to picked early. Sophomore last year, didn't start, still lead the team in sacks and TFLs (6 and 11.5 respectively, but 5 and 10.5 in the last 7 games). Enormous human being. Normally the 6'6", 285 pounders move inside. He seems athletic enough to stay out. Apparently more of a shooty hoops guy growing up.
  15. Ersery still on the board at OT. I don't get this shit. The best DE in the Big Ten and the best OL in the Big Ten are still there.
  16. I don't get why these guys are good and JT Tuimoloau is 2nd or 3rd round.
  17. Iron Range boys chew on metal.
  18. A lot of guards in the 1st round, man.
  19. The 1 and 4 are next to each other on the pad. I'm guessing homey just typo'd a little.
  20. It's a good fit for them. They need someone to blow the doors off.
  21. I mean that's what I'd expect. I'm just saying that man loves offensive linemen.
  22. Harbaugh gonna take an OT even though he already has OT's. Because he's got no problem just saying "fuck it, I'll play 3 of em if they're my best players."
  23. Not unless Tomlin knows for a fact he gets to cut off Deion's other toes if his son gives him any primadonna bullshit.
  24. It's a weird situation where I think the best WR prospects aren't in the draft because of eligibility or coming off injury. It'll come down to fit. Neither of them strike me as "This is an elite tippy top guy". More Bralon Addison than Justin Jefferson.
  25. They both suck. Actually, I'm not 100% I think Sanders will suck. I just don't like him.
