If he actually ran a 4.4, hell, even if he ran a 4.5....I guess he was “saving himself for the league” the past two years after a good freshman season and some “way too early” mock drafts had him as a first round pick back then.
The market is crazy right now. I was out of it for 25 years and got back in around March and cards have doubled or tripled in “value” since then. I bought a Rickey Henderson PSA 8 back in the summer for around $100 and now it’s easily going for over $300. I bought a 1984 Fleer Clemens PSA 8 a couple weeks ago and had it sold for almost double what I paid within 1 hour of taking it out of the envelope and listing it (I had two).
I think Card would stay if he didn’t win the job, but I can’t see Thompson sticking around another year as a backup...especially after his bowl game.
I feel Thompson has earned the right to get his shot, but I’d be OK with a quick hook at the first sign of trouble.
More importantly, West Coast OL offers. Either they don’t feel confident with the in-state bunch or just don’t think they are as good as the new offers (which is sort of reflected in the rankings).
Signed Morton & Smyly
Re-signed Ozuna
Soroka coming back
Fried and Anderson battle tested in playoffs and ready to take next step
Bullpen is good and deep, but not exactly dominant.
Rest of NL East improved, but no reason to think we won’t be battling toe to toe with the Dodgers in the NLCS again this year.
In person: the Cal game where we “found our next great QB in Heard” and made a last minute comeback to only miss the extra point and lose by one. I’ve never been so pumped at a game to immediately go to a WTF just happened.
Cowboys: Romo dropping the XP snap followed by the Dez “drop”.
Braves: blowing 2-0 lead (on the road) in WS against the Yankees.
Spurs: Fisher hitting last second shot for Lakers followed by Allen/Lebron going off in game 6 in 2013.
Been loading up on HOF rookies from 70s-90s on EBay since around March, but seems like it’s getting harder and harder to find any deals. Of course, that’s nice when I sell any of my duplicates.
Breaking in a new head coach/offense/defense against ULaLa (top 15 team who’s #1 in returning “production”) and Arkansas (mighty SEC team on the road returning 19 of 22 starters) will be one hell of a test. I guarantee we’d go 0-2 with Herman or Charlie at the helm.
I’m thinking starting 2-0 may be enough to hang a banner on the stadium wall???
Oh, he’ll forego the 2021 NFL Draft all right.
What’s wrong with these kids? Who’s in their ear? How the hell could he even remotely think he’d be draftable after a career of doing nothing notable? He wasn’t even some type of hyped-up 5-star coming in.
