Buffs finally got going in the 2nd half but that hole was too deep to get out of.  They need much better O line play and better D. They will be lucky to have a winning record in PAC 13 games, conference teams are improved.
But "Deion I'm on Freon" will keep yapping.
2 winnable games up next, next week vs ASU and Stanford after that. Rest of schedule will be very tough .

But what’s YOUR opinion? He the real deal?

I have no clue if there is some guy at New Mexico State or somewhere who has a bazooka and skills.  And I never would have picked Stroud, that's for sure....

My superficial analysis based on the 1st half:
Looks like he has a nice arm. Tonight he has thrown some balls up for his receivers to go up to pull down, which is concerning. Thought he may have held the ball a little too long on a couple of plays early. He looked like he panicked in the face of the rush, which is also concerning since it is against a team who does not have equal talent to USC. He settled down. Will see how he looks in the 2d half.

Title: Re: college football talk
Post by: ThePAMan on October 08, 2023, 12:00:51 AM
Also looks like he moves well in the pocket. But this is not a good performance for him tonight given the numbers.
Title: Re: college football talk
Post by: ThePAMan on October 08, 2023, 01:29:08 AM
Some questionable decision making, but he had one play where he was on the run and flicked his wrist and zoomed a pass. That was impressive.

Colorado has multiple problems. Offensive line is not good, QB Sanders is having to scramble big time to avoid sacks. Defensive backs are weak, not good tacklers, like the head coach when he played. Deion had problems just making a tackle on the tackling dummy at practice in his day.
Stanford isn't a good team but definitely took advantage of CU weaknesses after halftime last night.

Stanford, with 88 plays, had no turnovers.
We'll never run 88 again but we sure do need 0 turnovers today, and the rest of the year.

What a moron move in Utah-Washington game.  DB for WA intercepts a pass which would have gone for a TD but hot dogged it and dropped the ball down at the 2. An o-lineman for Utah jumped on the ball at the 1 with other WA players running right by the ball. WA did get a safety on the next play. But instead of being up by 12, only up 7. Young man should be happy I'm not his coach.

Until we can recruit against the likes of Bama, Ga, the Seminoles or tOSU I'll go with Familly and coaching up.
Fisher will probably be available again in several years. Maybe he'll be a fit then. Lol.

Good for him also. Getting away from the demands of being HC at a Power 5 school appears to  have been good for him health wise.
Their last 5 games are wins..
at UTEP
at LaTech
Middle Tn
at W Ky
and the best, at Auburn.

All of those schools have had some decent teams over the years.

That La Tech was good.  I think they had one of the best offenses in the nation that year.  Averaging over 50 points per game or something.  I also remember them getting fucked out of a bowl game.  But they won me a boat load of $$$ against Virginia that year.

From the Wiki, some good stuff on LaTech. Including Illinois losing to Skip Holtz in the 2014 Heart of Dallas Bowl.

And on a couple of former LaTech QBs ...
"Lambright also coached quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Initially, Bradshaw was second on the depth chart at quarterback behind Phil Robertson, who would later become famous as the inventor of the Duck Commander duck call and television personality on the A&E program Duck Dynasty.[14][15] Bradshaw caused a media frenzy on account of his reputation of being a football sensation from nearby Shreveport.[16][17] Robertson was a year ahead of Bradshaw and was the starter for two seasons in 1966 and 1967, and chose not to play in 1968.[18] As Robertson put it: "I'm going for the ducks, you [Terry] can go for the bucks."[19]"

The duck hunting worked out ok for Phil.

And today's fishwrap suggests that the gofs, with the highest APR, will be the only 5-7 team to go bowling.
It's been rumored, not here tho 🤣,  that some academics tout the graduation rates of the football program when evaluating the 'successes' of the head football coach.

In a heartwarming move, the NCAA will apparently allow newly transitioning but heretofore ineligible for  Div 1 bowl games James Madison and Jacksonville State to be chosen to play in bowl games, thereby reducing the available APR slots from 3 to 1.

Missing out on Jerry Kill looks like it was a huge mistake. N.M. State has been a shit program and he turned that around pretty quick. Yeah, I know he has always had the health issues...

I understand the perfect season argument but I'm still going with the 4 I think will happen.
What would you prefer, Michigan vs Bama or Michigan vs FSU ?

There are 4 teams in the cfp. There are 5 major conferences and, heaven forbid, in years where ND gets a spot then 2 of the Power 5 teams get left out.
And I'm not in the we'll just expand the field to fix the issue camp.

Will 6-6 teams get left out or will 1 get picked as an at large team for the Famous Toastery Bowl or the LA Bowl hosted by Gronk ?

And I get what you're saying. There are 5 Power 5 teams and sometimes ND to consider. It's hard for somebody else to get in.
There are 4 spots. Getting screwed is built into the system.
I would guess that Bama is the better team and if the committee wanted the best 4, it's Bama.
If the committee wants to prioritize undefeated over conference with a loss, it's FSU.
I would prefer the 4 best. If they chose FSU, you can't argue with 13-0.

With the 12 team format the top 4 teams get a bye. #5 will be bitching that they deserved the bye.
The committee will still be ranking the 6 highest rated conference champs for seeds #1-#4.
The 12 team format applied to this year would have Liberty vs FSU and if FSU was to win, they would face Bama. FSU would be bitching.
And a #5 will eventually lose to a #12.

I still think the 4 best teams are playing. Michigan vs a 2nd string FSU QB is not the same as Michigan-Bama.

Is this a thing someone’s said about Caleb Williams?

I think most of the people you’ve argued against have said they don’t care what kind of car he drives, not that I think that matters to you at all.

I particularly love the car thing because of how much you made fun of the opposite thing being a deal with Trubisky.  I don’t care if my QB even owns a car.  I care whether he can be consistently good on the field.

Sure, that's what they did with Trubisky.

He drove a Camry after all - obviously a humble, hard-nosed guy who only cared about winning and leading, can't go wrong with a guy like that.

Is it possible that it just doesn't matter what car he drives or what he spends the money he earned on?  If it was the old days pre-NIL and he bought a nice car with his first NFL paycheck, would we even know about it?

At the core of it is this: you think Justin Fields should be kept, so you're looking for something to criticize about the guy a lot of people want to get to replace him.  That's it.  There is no reason whatsoever to care about the car he's driving or what he does with his money to any rational person anywhere, just like there wasn't when they did it with Trubisky - but you want to undercut him to keep Justin Fields, so you talk about his car and him crying and painting FUCK on his nails and all the shit OTHER THAN his play.

It's pretty transparent, obviously.

😂 I laughed…

And I played WR in HS and would not have made that catch. Falling backwards away from the ball would’ve been a very difficult catch. The surprise factor of where it would be falling would be hard to concentrate and judge. Very good hand/eye coordination for Mooney to still almost make a grab. His momentum was going away from the ball and still reached out and almost snagged it.

I don’t doubt that bad GMs are worried about shit like this, it’s how you end up justifying the Trubisky pick because he drove a Camry.  Good GMs are more concerned with how a dude plays, which it’s become extremely clear isn’t even a factor to you

If they keep Fields because of Caleb Williams’ car they deserve the mediocrity they’ll continue to get at the most important position.  Would hope if they pass on the QBs it’s for reasons at least tangentially related to football.

I don’t think it’s controversial to say anyone evaluating this decision who continually brings up one guy’s car and never mentions the other guy’s play isn’t a very good scout.

You are far, far more likely to bring up the car thing than to discuss Justin Fields’ play without making excuses.  Far more likely.  The standards you have for the two guys are just miles apart and everyone can obviously see it.

I don’t think he’s any more a candidate for that than a 24 year old getting his first big NFL contract no, but the difference is if the second guy buys a nice car none of us ever even hear about it.  I have no clue what kind of car Daniel Jones bought with his new money and it doesn’t factor into my evaluation of him in any way.  Same with Mahomes or Drake Maye or CJ Stroud.  It’s not even tangentially related to his ability to perform as a football player.

I am not naive enough to think this is really about Caleb Williams at all.  If the Bears didn’t have the first pick I just have no doubt you would have far fewer stretchy “concerns” about Caleb Williams that are unrelated to his ability to be a good NFL QB. 

Just like the ranting about Mooney not catching the Hail Mary, this is about Justin Fields.

247 Sports has us at #46 in recruiting with OL Andrew Dennis being the only 4 star.
Ca'Lil Valentine, out of Az, at RB has a 10.8 time in the 100 meters. Toss him in the RB room with Feagin and Anderson at 6'3" 250 lb.
I would think about moving McCray back to linebacker in hopes that he can stay healthier at that position.
And they're listing us at 14th among Big10 teams.

I would agree. College football is currently sacrificing long-term demand in favor of meeting short-term demands, and has been for some time. NIL is a really great thing on the whole but you need to encourage long-term deals on both the scholarship and NIL side. It's ridiculous to try and run a sports league with one-year free agency and that's what college football is essentially doing right now.

College football only works when fans are willing to invest in season tickets and then traveling to see an 8-4 team in the Gator Bowl. I'm not sure the current game will maintain that aside from the 15 or so programs that benefit from having a national pro league.

This is a pretty tight nit to pick - if they get a first down the game is over, not running a play to avoid an injury time stoppage is a bit of a stretch. I guess the real reason not to run a play is in case you fumble.

The real mistake came on the previous drive where they got their last FG. On 3rd and goal from the ten, they called a pass play, and Penix threw the ball away when there was no open man. That was 30+ seconds there - they either need to run the ball or tell Penix that he needs to have an open man or go down in bounds.

I disagree that taking the knee, instead of having the guy with the bad foot run the ball, is a nitpick there.

If you fall for the “gotta have a quarterback on a rookie contract” narrative, which is lazy in this case. Lazy analysis. The Bears are not a slave to the rookie deal. They have money. That was the whole point of the tank. But people who fall for basic tropes dont get it.

There are viable solutions to the transfer portal stuff. The most obvious one - that for certain reasons seems to be a non-starter - is that you let schools pay players under multi-year contracts and give both sides legal recourse.

You could also view scholarships more like a salary cap and assess penalties against cap space for transfers in or out. Or just make every scholarship a minimum of 2 years regardless of whether the kid is still there - that would at least encourage schools to invest in kids beyond a season.

Any open investigations into Michigan football can now be closed. The powers that be found their man. Herm Edward's 26-20 record and national championship are toast.

"As Arizona State prepares to shift from the Pac-12 Conference to the Big 12, it will do so with significant baggage.

On Friday, the NCAA Infractions Committee announced the athletic department faces four years of probation, scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions for violations that occurred during Herm Edwards’ tenure as football coach.

The Level I violations also include fines, a 2023 season self-imposed football postseason ban, a vacation of records for contests that ineligible student-athletes competed in and the dissociation with an involved booster for five years."

The locals certainly are not.  Some stats from his first season:

% increase in September sales at CU's on-line store 2,544%
68,000 applications for admission to the University (a record).
Prime's value to CU during the first month of the season $280 million (USA Today).
First ESPN Gameday in Boulder in 27 years.

Granted, the on-field product has been over-hyped but it's still a marked improvement from where he began.   The hotels, restaurants, and bars are packed.  His players go to class.  They don't get into off-field trouble (everyone's looking), and the parents seem to love him.  I'm guessing that 90% of FBS schools would welcome this kind of impact.   Even if he leaves, Boulder will be in a better place.

Sure. He can try and prove the existence of an oral contract or maybe even an implied contract given there appears to have been communications about the payment schedule. He will also need to somehow attempt to mitigate his damages (offset his losses).

There sounds like there were communications between his agent and someone at the school because the payments were not being made on schedule. If those are in writing, that could be proof of the existence of the contract and its terms. Other than that, it is his word versus the school's "word."

Title: Re: college football talk
Post by: murphstahoe on September 28, 2024, 01:11:36 PM
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — At first, there was confusion.

Washington’s sideline erupted. Sophomore Lance Holtzclaw, who blocked Rutgers’ 38-yard field-goal attempt, signaled no good as he bounded toward the sideline. Junior Maurice Heims, who came up with the recovery, flipped the ball to teammate Jacob Bandes while the Rutgers fans groaned in frustration.

But as the referees huddled to discuss the late penalty, Washington’s confusion became disbelief while the 54,079 Rutgers fans gathered for their “Blackout” game began to roar.

Illegal substitution. Redshirt freshman Vincent Holmes had briefly entered the field of play to celebrate with his teammates before Heims recovered the ball. He was right in front of the referee, who immediately threw his flag. First down for the Scarlet Knights. On the very next play, Rutgers scored a touchdown.

“I grabbed (Holmes), and said, ‘You’re a freshman, and you just had a freshman moment,’” coach Jedd Fisch said. “These are things … that just can’t happen.”

That was my immediate thought. The adage is to play to win on the road and play for the tie at home.
But after our 9 OT game the rules were changed to require going for 2 after the 1st OT, so I talked myself into just tie it up and take your chances going for the required 2 in the next OT.
Ga Tech had lost old mo and ended up squandering a 400 yard 5 td, every Ga Tech td, performance by the qb.
I think the HC called for an Uber driver to get back to Atlanta instead of getting on the bus.

Meh. They still make the playoff and don’t have to prep up for Oregon

They lose their chance at a bye but probably get a home game in which they are easily favored.

South Carolina beats Clemson. If that knocks out Clemson from the playoffs, does the SEC get another team? If so is it Alabama or South Carolina that just beat Clemson?

How do you put in 2 loss OSU over 1 loss Indiana? Feels like Indiana is in. How do you rank OSU/PSU/Indiana if PSU loses to Oregon and also has 2 losses?

The playoff committee is really gonna have to rely on “look, if you were the first team out you would have had no shot a couple years ago” - because this is gonna be gross

These 18 team conferences are a joke. Indiana probably gets smoked by PSU and Oregon but instead gets all sub 500 teams. SMU goes undefeated not playing the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best teams in conference and squeaks by the 5th and 6th

The big 12 will have a 4 team tie for first and tiebreakers will come down to who wins between a couple of also rans to determine strength of schedule

I only have one rule in life: 3 loss teams don’t get to complain about being left out of the playoffs. Actually, I lied; I have two rules. The other is don’t bet money that you don’t have on a dog race with an ex-girlfriend who happens to be a stripper (100 HQ2 bonus points for anyone who gets the reference).

And you also don’t get to complain about losing a spot to a team you lost to. Especially by 3+ TDs.

My original point was Ohio State has to be in - and if they are in, Indiana is also in. Indiana has one loss to what was until today the #2 team

They have a better resume than SMU or Miami in my view. The ACC should get one team

Now watch Indiana lose tonight

A Big10 and SEC team will get 2 of the byes.
2 of the winners of SMU vs Clemson, Boise vs UNLV and Az St vs ISU will get byes. The other gets seeded #12.
With the current rankings, those 6 teams are ranked 8, 10, 16, 17, 18, 20.
There's a good chance that #10 and #15 in the current rankings will get byes.

Conference champions who aren't in the top 4 get 1st round home games as their "reward".
Boise, Az St, Clemson and ND with the #8 seed are 5-8 and get 1st round home games vs SMU, Ind, Tn and tOSU.

PSU and Tx losing to Oregon and Ga > Boise and Az St beating a couple of teams that didn't have a top 20 win.

Lol you’re not going to eliminate blowouts no matter what you do. The last 6 national title games were blowouts. Including a 65-7 thriller just two years ago. You want to go back to voting for the champion? There’s nothing wrong with 12 teams. It gives more teams a chance to get in and that’s ultimately better for the sport. And better for teams like Illinois because PT and NIL can actually help level the playing field a bit.

Lol you’re not going to eliminate blowouts no matter what you do. The last 6 national title games were blowouts. Including a 65-7 thriller just two years ago. You want to go back to voting for the champion? There’s nothing wrong with 12 teams. It gives more teams a chance to get in and that’s ultimately better for the sport. And better for teams like Illinois because PT and NIL can actually help level the playing field a bit.
Last night's game was a lousy game and the 1st 2 games today have a good chance of being the same.
None of it changes that I would have preferred a Hoosier win and won't be rooting for SMU or Clemson.

Again, a lot of the playoff games have been lousy for years. Often even in the marquee matchups. Accept the gift that programs like Illinois has been given. They actually have a chance to be semi-relevant.

I figured if they could lose to NIU they could lose to a decent team. Sounds like they are playing better than they did earlier in the year. I wouldn’t know, I don’t like watching Notre Dame. I tuned in when I heard NIU was giving them a game because I was hoping for the upset. I root for everyone over Notre Dame. I hate Alabama and I rooted for them big time in the title game years back.

Games early in the season aren't necessarily an indicator of late season play.
ND may have been a little full of themselves after winning their opener at TAM. They got a little humility after NIU and didn't have much trouble after that.
The Hosers got whupped by a good tOSU defense. There was no reason not to expect the same vs a good ND defense.

Too many blowouts. Let’s scrap the playoff system and vote for the champion. But…have the national championship team play itself! 1st string offense plays 2nd string defense and 1st string defense plays 2nd string offense. Everyone gets participation trophies at the end since they are all champions!

Most importantly, no blowouts!

Disagree. They seeded poorly. Blowouts are part of the very fabric of college football. 19 of the 30 4 team playoff games were two score + games. This format will even the playing field over time and give programs like Illinois, Indiana, Colorado something to play for. It needs tweaking, but 12 teams is perfect IMO.

Oregon, Ga, Tx, PSU are seeded 1-4. The 4 teams that have been top ranked teams get byes.
Conference champions who aren't in the top 4 get 1st round home games as their "reward".
Boise, Az St, Clemson and ND with the #8 seed are 5-8 and get 1st round home games vs SMU, Ind, Tn and tOSU.

One more try for Pitf. Oh, he comes up just short. Toledo players rush the field with the win.
Not sooooo fast. Lol. The ball crossed the goal line.

Katina's revenge:

Tulane denied Hurricane Katrina uniform homage

Tulane sported helmets without decals in its season opener yesterday to honor the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The team wanted to wear white uniforms like they had in their first game after the hurricane in 2005, but they were reportedly denied by their opponent, Northwestern. The Green Wave proceeded to stomp the Wildcats in a 23-3 win, and head coach Jon Sumrall had much to say after the fact. “Don’t disrespect New Orleans ever,” Sumrall said.

No score at the half in front of 100K plus. They've done a little expansion since 1975.

The DI says attendance for the 1975 game was 45, 524. It felt like 45,522 against me and the guy I went with.

You're in a football thread. Hawaii will travel to Dekalb for a fall 2026 game, not a February 2026 football game.
So be sure to mark it on your calendar once the schedule is announced.

Whoops. I do not want to travel to DeKalb at any point in the year. And I don’t leave until the 18th for the islands. Had to double check the calendar.

...Bielema says that while he understands why so much focus is on the SEC stepping back of late, this really applies to everyone.

He notes that he just signed the best recruiting class of his entire career, including when he led Wisconsin to three league titles. He even flipped a running back away from Alabama on signing day. "I've never been able to do that," he said.

Things I learned in today's fishwrap.

Because Nebraska is a football school, this goes here.

The basketball team has the nation's longest major college winning streak at 20.
They finished last season in something called the College Basketball Crown post season tourney and the top 10 team is undefeated this year.
🤷

Because Indiana is a basketball school and the football team is a 7+ point favorite over the playing at home Hurricanes this goes here also.

The football program had a nation leading 713 losses in 130+ years of cfb going into the 2024 season.
They don't have a 5 star on their roster.
They've lost twice since the start of last season.
🤷
