2022-2023 NCAA Football Thread

This is shades of Bama took out Colt or Texas would have won.

Football is a contact sport. Unfortunately players get hurt. It happens. Nobody "took him out".

And they didn't take out Jamieson Williams last year either ...

 

[Jimbo]

Fwiw, it really doesn't matter, so I'm not gonna talk about this for the next month.
So, hopefully it don't go on and on and on like so many others ...

There was no pass interference as he had stepped out of bounds and therefore was not a legal receiver. Even if he hadn't have stepped out of bounds, there was no interference with the catch.

Did you even look at replays of the play?

IF he did step out of bounds it would be called a roughing penalty ... You get that all the time along sidelines when a player is on the white and gets nailed.

I'm unaware of Jimbo saying OSU didn't win the title because if McGahee didn't tear every tendon and ligament in his knee, Miami would have won.

OSU was even keel with Georgia in that game, no doubt. And the injuries are bad luck. Certainly via that outcome, OSU showed they belonged, buy in the end Georgia were the winners. And it was I large part dictated by their play on the field, not controlled by the refs.

Monday is the date Players have to declare for the NFL Draft ...

Rumor : Buckeyes QB CJ Stroud has NOT declared yet, thought is he May come back ....

Couple things going in Buckeye favor, NIL money is not bad, Currently, Stroud would probably be picked 2nd in the Draft (which in my mind makes the NIL stuff Nothing) and be with the worst NFL team in the league, Houston Texans, who are looking for a QB .

Thinking here the Bears with the 1st pick, will trade with someone for that #1 pick to take Bama Qb Bryce Young.
(My hope is they trade with Indy, #4) this way they won't trade down to low to get the player they really want, which is Bamas Will Anderson.
Bears will screw that up ...

Stroud announced that he's entering the draft.

NIL money is great, but it pales in comparison with what he can earn in the NFL (salary and endorsements), especially when his rookie contract is over.

Unfortuantely for those that are top picks, it's always the bad teams that have those picks.

As expected Stroud did go to the draft ...
I'm just praying he doesn't go to Houston, I think I'd be ok with Indy ... they have an O line, at least a Running O Line, need to get better at Pass Blocking ... They have a Stud RB to take the predictability away.

They DO need an Actual Head Coach ... I don't care if Saturday stays on board in another position as long as its not OC ...
O Line would be a Great place for him to Start.

Former Colts HC Frank Reich needs to go back to the NFL as an OC ... preferably in Pittsburgh (as long as he's willing to Stay 3 or more years)

He might be safe, as Will Levis and Bryce Young are projected to go higher than Stroud.

Good ...
(Personally, I don't see Levis going ahead of Stroud)
However, we'll see if that actually happens.

Most boards are saying Houston, Indy and Seattle (after moving up to 5) are the top places for a QB to go.
Like I said, anywhere but Houston.

I can see Indy moving ahead of Houston to select whoever, Young or Stroud, in a trade with Chicago, IF Chicago doesn't screw it up, they should still get thier guy at #4 and get Future draft picks, a #1 probably for thier #1 this year.

Chicago is focused on Will Anderson or Jalen Carter

Final Report Cards are in.



Loved the tribute to Mike Leach at the end.

Final Report Cards are in.

This is not the first time they have used the grade school teacher theme, the actress who plays the teacher has it down perfectly. It is their best theme.

While they don't do as much during basketball season, I look forward to their work. The jab at UK in this one is funny. The SEC looks to be unusually deep in basketball this year.
