Smh at the people talking shit about Charie Strong. Talked to him a few times at UF, guy is a class act and a great example as a coach and human being.
Tifton isnt in the same league as Albany or Valdosta... way too small.

I went to VSU and had some of the Wildest nights of my life in this town. Its not the same cause Im a family man and just hang now , but Valdostas different. Lived in Albany until my young teens. IT sucks. So many people in Valdosta for school or the air force base its actually not bad.

Fuck him and his "better team lost" crap when UCF walked in there and ate his and Bridgewater's lunch.
I'll stick with Athens when I eventually move back home.

There really isn't. It'll always be home to me even though I may live somewhere else.
I'm here. Haven't posted much because of work and life stuff, but I'm here Andy.
Good to see more Dawg fans.
Also, isn't Enron permed? Or did I mis-remember that?
Ugh, don't remind me. Ohio's not bad its just ehhhhh.
Maybe of I lived closer to Cbus.

Notre Dame is the school which I have the most close relationship to as some very good family friends went to school there and I even own a ND jacket which they gave to me a few years ago (well before I knew about college football). Its the only bit of college paraphernalia I own.
I also went to a catholic school (the same as my father's) for primary and high school, so I can sort of relate to ND in that sense.

For future reference, if you ever want me to pick something up from the book store for you when I go up there for a game, let me know.
$9.95 was doing an examination of player participation (how many players actually get into games) under Coach Pete since he's widely considered great at developing talent and he's always talking about not knowing what he has until he sees it on the field in a game.
Only one team in the conference has played more players on average per game than him in his two seasons here - Stanford. He also played more players than practically everyone he faced while at Boise State, at least as far back as they measured that sort of thing.
Not a silver bullet revelation or anything, just something interesting.

Harbaugh played 17 true freshmen against Hawaii. As he sees it, if they're good enough get 'em on the field. Builds depth and they're prepared when conference play rolls around. Glad to see them get the playing time. Gonna be interesting to see how the PAC-12 plays out going forward.
Alabama played 10 or 11 true freshmen against USCw (Shy Carter was on the field, but not on the participation list)

Notre Dame game was the most fun and electric sporting event I've even been to (that I was happy with the result). I'm hoping we can go out and bully UTEP this week and maybe break the top 10.
I'm surprised a team as stacked with talent as Bama would play that many true freshmen. I would think you'd be able to redshirt everyone because they'd have quality talent in front of them.

I wonder how many of those 10 freshmen were put in after they were up by 40+ points. I doubt many were starters

Think maybe half of them had noticeable contributions, and the rest might have shown up late or appeared on special teams.
Alabama has probably hit the stage where it's OK to burn red shirts ( or never give one ), because future players are already coming along, and more and more players are leaving for the NFL.

Michigan, and I think Bama, have a lot of upperclassmen that will be gone after this season. Have to plan for the future.
I'd guess at least 10 starting level players are seniors or guaranteed early entry NFL, a lot of the defense
Eddie Jackson, Tim Williams, Jonathan Allen, Reuben Foster, Ryan Anderson, Dalvin Tomlinson, Adam Griffith, OJ Howard, Cam Robinson
There's 2-4 more that might go early too. So yeah, got to get the next batch going.
That's very doubtful to happen this week looking at the match ups, not a single top 10 team should even come close to losing

Ohio State played 30 new guys (RS fresh and true fresh) on Saturday, not sure how many were true frosh.

I meant to bring it up while we were talking about the Clemson game, but true freshman DT sensation Dexter Lawrence got some playing time this weekend. Played only 37 snaps. In that time, he registered 10 tackles, 1 TFL, and a sack.

He looked like a star from the get-go. I'm really excited to watch him develop in future games.

You've made a powerful enemy today, Sun Devils.

Is the C bus the one that takes you out of Ohio?
SWOOPES!
Is this the game winner? I actually never saw the play since I had to put my phone on airplane mode right before it.
yep, that's the game winner. I can't capture long enough to include both the dive and the open field tackle he side steps in the beginning, though.
Dude broke like 10 goddamn tackles on those last 2 plays.

Is that a reference to what I think it's a reference too?
He really really should have picked that ball back up. Good habit to get into.

I'm having a sad football week.
I don't get to go to the high school game tomorrow. I don't get to go to the rinky-dink college game on Saturday. My bf is going to a "bachelor party" (is it a party if it's 3 people?) that involves going to the Ohio State game.
And I get to stay at home and watch it. But, plus side, I got to get Star Wars sheets. So....it's been a good day?
I also bought an Ohio State hat today. But...>I'll never wear it.
Also go UCF against Michigan! I believe you can
do it!

You mean you haven't heard of the traditional Scissor Lift jump? The one bit of Tradition that Texas has over Aggie.
