  1. we are talking about what will happen in Colorado. Nebraska has no chance either.
  2. lol, "Einstein" proves his own theorem. pure gold.
  3. He's the Eagles Andy Reid, not yet the Chiefs Andy Reid...
  4. "You said JSU is competing against Southwestern Athletic Conference. Yea, but they are also going up against and beating major power 5 programs." I took this to mean actually competing. Anyway, as we have already covered, JSU and others get Bama's spillover--even with the 4-5 stars. When your front 7 has 22 5 stars on the roster, a new 5 star might think twice about heading there. The ones who are confident they will make the starting lineup some day go there anyway---precisely because they have a better chance of getting drafted. Players who want to play because they are told they won't start or will be red shirted or red shirted and still not start will roll the dice at a JSU--even though their chances at getting drafted, as you pointed out, are awful. Go figure. SO Sanders may get a bunch of 5 stars transferring in to Colorado. Then what? He's not going 12-0 in the PAC 12 any time soon....
  5. Because he's on IR and out for the season?
  6. I bet the owner had no problems with the GM when they were 7-3 two weeks ago...
  7. you brought it up. I don't know man--just asking which Power 5 teams you were referring to. Also, I don't think many HBCU players get drafted--didn't say so either. Yeah, 5 stars want to go where they will play--we've already covered that. That's why they enter the portal (even from Alabama), for instance. That's why they don't sign with Bama--because they are told they will be down on the depth chart.
  8. Too many 4-5 stars ahead of them on the depth chart... bottom line: same 5-8 teams vying for 4 playoff spots every year anyway...
  9. I agree. Still, this isn't a huge get for Colorado.
  10. what's the funny part? I even included an article to help. Yeah, of you are 5 star on a SWAC team, you're far more likely to play right away than on Alabama, for instance. This isn't hard to realize.... Also, what major Power 5 programs did JSU beat this season?
  11. Again, you go to a place like JSU, you're going to play. Go to Bama, OSU...you probably aren't. Maybe you're not playing for a while at ND or Oregon either. Go to a minor conference like SWAC or to a Power 5 wasteland like Colorado, your chances for pro scout exposure are significantly higher. Plus, throw in NIL---there's little flowing to the Colorado players I would bet. Here's an older article but it captures some of this topic: https://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2016/1/15/10774592/alabama-recruiting-playing-time-elite-star-signing-day "Greg McElroy is praising Da'Shawn Hand, the No. 1 player from the class of 2014, who was a third stringer in Alabama'a amazing front seven that contained 22 four- and five-star prospects -- more than Michigan State's entire roster. Bielema makes the off-hand comment that his staff lets players know that if they choose Alabama, they will be a third stringer because everyone on the roster is just as talented as they are." Being a Div-1 school, he could have accepted players to JSU from other teams through the portal.
  12. he had no career in Bama.
  13. Alabama has 5 star recruits on the bench. All those schools do. That's how. Bama is loaded with 5 stars--that's their selection pool. Starting roster is what it is, so lots of 3rd stringers at 4-5 stars. Others will transfer into the portal to lesser programs than powerhouses so they can get playing time. Pretty simple.
  14. maybe Diggs was pointing to a problem with his helmet. it has happened..
  15. buncha bros hitting the gym and getting massages. and they call this "showing up to work on Monday morning"?
  16. So why would he expect anyone pay him pro-rated 20 million for the rest of the year when everyone knows he took far less last year? My guess is that he knows he isn't ready to play and he is making this completely nuts salary ask so he can say that no team offered what he's worth, so he will sit out the season....hoping to be ready and in shape with another off season of rehab. It really doesn't make sense for him to credibly put out there the 20 million figure when, healthy, he worked for peanuts half a season with the Rams.
  17. They reached #2 this season. Colorado has had 3 winning season in 20 years. No one cares about Heisman trophies. And as you point out, Tenn has put 40 guys in the NFL with no national titles. Why would these players now flock to a place like Colorado just to play for Sanders and a program perhaps years away from relevance? Which of the top players in the country is going to say "I want to join Coach Sanders in Colorado so I can help him rebuild that program?" That didn't take much--certainly orders of magnitude less of a heavy lift than pulling up the chronic PAC 12 bottom dweller. 1). There's not much evidence Sanders is Mike Gundy. His JSU stint proved more HBCU players would go to Sanders than other SWAC schools. Lets see how many top new recruits he get to Colorado next year. 2). There's no billion dollar donor in Colorado. Their biggest donation in history to their Athletics Dept was in 2021 for 5.5 million (with an "m").
  18. Maybe because his team win 70% of his starts? lol...."clueless organization"---2 NFCC games and a SB appearances in 3 previous seasons.
  19. They weren't wrong. The Chiefs have the #1 Offense this year in points and yards. They are averaging 29 ppg compared to 28 last season. They are 9-3 after 12, 8-4 last year.
  20. With the hundreds saved can get a nice down jacket! Plus, it's hard to imagine that those french fry lights are that efficient or precise.
  21. This is soccer at the highest levels. It’s why it has zero traction in this country. Buncha bros running around for hours, flopping to the ground, getting the “cold spray”, jumping back up, scoring zero goals. Clean this up, NFL
  22. what year is this??
  23. What did he stoop for in LA last year?
  24. Ticketmaster with 3 in 214 row 3 at $526 per after fees right now.....
