Title: Two Unrelated Notes
Post by: Snaggletiger on September 20, 2018, 10:16:13 AM
From the dot  I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!!  I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others.  I like male genatalia in and around my mouth. and sports talk. 

Gus Malzahn donated $2 million for a football only facility.  Dizzam!  I wish at some point in my life I could say, "Yep, I just stroked a check for $2 million to...."  I did donate $2 Hundred to my son's school athletic program 2 years ago.

In other news, Nick Brahms has been taking the majority of the snaps with the ones at center.  Have we seen the last of Kim getting his shit pushed in?

:facepalm:  I can see Jalen Harris leaving.  He wasn't used at all and may be able to go somewhere that he can show out.  Please let this be just **RUMOR**

Can't say that I blame him.

He's a big body guy that has proven he can catch the slant. He needs 4 - 5 catches across the middle each game. That backs off the LBs and pulls up the safeties. In turn opens the run game and the long ball. But what do we know, we aren't OC geniuses!

So now we're losing our best tackle and gaining a center with a broken leg. Seems like an even tradeoff.

Don't think this is a rumor anymore. Him and his brother who is a backup in the secondary is gone.

Okay, this is more than just a playing time or production issue.  Something is going on internally.

Nothing new.

That's kinda what I was thinking, especially since Nate Craig was becoming a backup to Seth Williams.

Not to mentioned a newly recovered Stove & Hastings are getting more playing time than Craig. Also, there is this new kid....Schwartz.

I certainly think this supports this idea. Craig was unhappy about his production. Seems to me that Seth Williams is better. Sorry boss, its a big boy game now. You dont produce, get replaced.

Do not buy that on this one. Sometimes it’s just a player underperforming and getting outplayed by freshmen and other players. 

Williams, Schwartz, Davis, slayton and when Hastings and Stove return - all better. Writing was on wall.

We've had some bad luck with who I thought were going to be some big time receivers in recent years.  And big guys at that.  Duke Williams went mental.  Kyle Davis went..was it mental?...was he a druggie?....not sure why he left.  Now NCM.

I hate the way the game has changed and looking like we're headed for free agency in college football.  Part of me understands the need to go elsewhere to a place you can be the man and get more exposure.  But, I also think that's somewhat misguided. I have to think that most of these guys think they're going to be NFL ready, despite how the percentages actually work out.  At the very least, it's in the back of their minds.

However, pull up any NFL roster and go down the list.  It's dominated by guys who, regardless of how close you follow college football, make you ask who the hell that is?  I think these NFL scouts have measuring and grading your actual physical abilities down to such a science, that they don't give a flippity flip who you played for, if you caught 200 passes, if you rushed for 3,000 yards or if you were just a special teams player.  If you have the right measurables, NFL coaches will teach you how to play the position properly.  If you don't, then you'll be lucky to make the practice squad.

How is Brandon King still playing in the League and the SEC sack leader, Paul Holland, goes undrafted?

What do these guys have in common? All big time potential who couldn't even beg for a pass each game. Guys like this that are on the fence mentally most times stay in check if they are getting the ball. IF they stay in check long enough, they eventually grow up. We need WR's that are talented but content being a team player. Hard to get guys to do that for four years.

They stand in line for two or three years to have the opportunity to play for one quarter at Bama.  Happily.

Well, when you're getting paid that much not to put your body through hell, that's a no brainer.

So, Craig-Meyers is at Colorado State now and has to sit the first 3 games:


Quote
The Auburn transfer, who might have to sit the first few games (until it’s officially been a year since he last played for Auburn), caught 22 passes for 394 yards and four touchdowns in parts of three seasons on the Plains. He is a former top-50 recruit, and the sooner he can make a splash, the better.

If he did not redshirt at AU and he did not play more than four games last season, why would he have to sit out three games?

I thought if you had not previously redshirted and did not play more than four games, you could use that season as a redshirt?

Is the NCAA really that screwed up? (Redtorikal)
