  1. Or we could wait to see joe it all plays out. Pretty sure it’s going to be really good, but hey, maybe it’s a shit Sandwhich to go with all the bread we are going to collect.
  2. Because sometime the first offer might be the best offer. Happens in FA in all the major sports all the time. Ask any baseball player still looking for work right now if he wishes he might have taken a first offer somewhere. At some point in time a team moves onto guys that are willing to sign bc they have to fill a need and then the guy who didn’t sign isn’t in a bidding war but sees his number go down as more teams fill up. That’s not always what happens but it could happen and that’s why guys will sign right away.
  3. Parker Livingstone definitely did. I think that's the only guy you can argue for. And Matthew Caldwell. He threw like 10 passes and had 1 run and it was all fucking awesome.
  4. More than who plays and who doesn’t would be probably how much effort they put into game planning. With 1 seed in play probably a lot. Too jumbled to start prep early on likely playoff opponent.
  5. Then NE probably tries in the hopes the Broncos lose? Or maybe they play in the first half and scoreboard watch to see what’s going on in Denver at the same time.
  6. Will it though? Broncos have a game against the chargers who should be resting everybody as they probably want to lose and play the winner of Steelers and ravens. Broncos have tie break so Nee England is likely 2 seed. They might rest a whole bunch of dudes after locking up division. Or, maybe not. Always interesting to see who tries and who doesn’t in last week of year.
  7. It’s not though. The vast vast vast majority of guys that are on D1 scholarship will only ever make money in the game teaching and coaching it. For Texas? Sure. For most other schools though it is about the school. Decoupling makes sense if we go to 30 teams in their own league, but if you decouple it from the university who exactly will pay the freight or care? The minute they facade falls the system collapses from a revenue perspective.
  8. I mean, these are allegedly college kids and most colleges start school around January 17, so their hands are sort of tied.
  9. Worked for JT Sanders too in the sense that he was designated athlete, but I’d srgue that’s different because he was an athlete bc he had 2 positional fits that were clean- one on offense and one on defense and a fist fight over who got him in their room. That’s different than the “this guy is athletic but we don’t know that he has any traits where he’s going to succeed guy”. Also- a problem with “athlete” in today’s CFB world is when those guys do develop it often comes late. When guys aren’t on a clear track now it seems they are bigger portal risks. I’d guess in the new world you don’t have many guys stay for year 3 and 4 that haven’t made a decent sized impact on the field by year two. The clock starts ticking earlier than it ever has on guys now.
  10. I meant dude without a position trying to figure out where to play on offense. Not doppelgänger.
  11. We have the same dude. He’s named Michael Terry. I’m generally skeptical of “athlete”. Doesn’t mean it never works, but it’s probably a higher than average bust rate.
  12. Sometimes failure teaches lessons. He was coming off 2 times in a row of making the final four. Now that he’s failed he might redesign the process. Total trust? No. Feel like it’s trending in a positive direction? Yes. 3 weeks and we will know. Really probably 10 days will tell the tale.
  13. Sure. We can’t see anything other than not throwing dumb money at jags right now. Glad to nail step one.
  14. I mean, yeah. This offseason we can see if he’s going to get to Saban and Meyer type levels or not. I maintain that if he doesn’t it will probably fall apart eventually and probably sooner than you think bc it’s hard to be really good for a long time without winning it all- things tend to stagnate and then you have a Penn State with Franklin moment coming, but what he’s done right now through 5 years absolutely is just fine under any reasonable standard.
