View Full Version : NCAA College Sports
Decided to make this generic sports.
Anyone watching the return of college football today? Currently watching the Houston v Oklahoma football game which is a nice even game with some decent players.
The Houston qb doesn't look like he's got much future in the NFL, doesn't seem to have very good receivers either.
Baker mayfield looks quite tidy though. Will be good to see what happens with him this season.
College GAMEDAY returning.:drool:

Keeping an eye on DeShaun Watson this season. He threw 4,000 yards last season and rushed for over 1000 too. He's the mobile QB type that everyone seems to want to be a success these days and I'd expect him to be the top picked QB in his draft class if he carries on like that.
Absolute belter of a catch in the Houston game.
Is Watson eligible this year? It's an interesting point though, which NFL teams are really missing a qb now? The Browns? Houston maybe if osweiller plants? Dallas is dak doesn't shine? The jets? Most of the shite teams have picked up qbs in the first round the last few years.

Bills and Jets will be looking next draft. Tyrod Taylor is due shedloads of money if he's kept on after this season and Fitzpatrick is probably moving on after all his bitching only got him 1 more year this time around.
The Browns and Broncos may be looking, that depends how RG3 and Lynch pan out. The Chiefs might branch out to a QB a little more expansive than Smith. The Rams and the 49ers could find themselves looking next year too if Goff has been as bad as is reported.

College sports are generally shit, but Utah vs BYU (the Holy War) is brilliant, and it's being played here on Saturday. Friend and I will probably try to sneak into the stadium during the fourth quarter as we often do.

That was quality. You don't always get the last minute drama in it, but when you do it's amazing.
Should've been using this I think rather than the NFL thread.
Heismann announcement tonight and very likely to baker mayfield. Shite selection of games today though, army v navy being the only one of interest.
As an aside, anyone pay attention to college basketball?
A kid in my cousins high school who he played with Is apparently the number one recruit out of Texas, something like number 11 overall and heading to Kansas to play. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up the NBA based on what my aunt and cousin were telling me.

Not to the same extent as this. They make an obscene amount of money off the back of people who aren't paid and then, because it's supposed to be a non profit venture, they build an absurd new stadium or training facility every two years. It's a racket the mob would be proud of.

They've been enormous for decades.
Didn't realise this thread existed :D
Baker's surely going to win, but then I don't know if many people expected Jackson to be in there again so maybe he'll shock everyone. Bryce Love has been great too, but not Heisman great. Bowl games start next weekend, right? Might give Army/Navy a look, but probably not.
I really like the RB class this year. There are probably ten guys who could come in & play in the NFL straight away.
I've just checked a random sampling and the lowest number of renovations and expansions I can find since 2010 is three.
Didn't realise this thread existed :D
Neither did I, or I'd have made my point last year when the total capacity of the stadiums would have been 150,000 lower.
The stadiums are absolutely huge, but as Giggles says they've been that way for a long time. They might have done minor expansions or modernisation to some, but who wouldn't if they've been there since the 50s or 60s and theres loads of colleges with a strong alumni affiliation philosophy that means shit loads of people want to go and see their team.
There's a really good book you would like John called 'The System' which basically points out all the issues with NCAA football. One of the major 'new' stadiums to have been redeveloped in recent history T Boone Pickens stadium for Oklahoma State. Basically the university reached out to this really, really wealthy fucker and convinced him that it would be exciting to build a big fuck off training facility, modernise the stadium etc. and it could be his little project. That in turn would allow them to attract more recruits and eventually work towards contending for a national title. That's documented pretty well in the book.
Every school has them though and that's how the fund stuff. Find a rich fuck who likes competition and convince him to pay.
I stumbled into Texas Memorial stadium (University of Texas stadium) in Austin and went to see Kyle Field in College Station (there's absolutely fuck all else there, bar the university). Both are just enormous.
Yep this army navy game is total shit.
Snow weather and there's basically a rinse and repeat of "just run it straight at them".
Mayfield won the Heisman by a thousand votes from Bryce Love in the end. He'll probably end up going first round just because of the hype & how many teams need a QB, but I'm not sure he's quite ready to start immediately. Get him in & pick up Alex Smith to guide him & start for a year or two & that should sort someone out nicely.
Same goes for Jackson really, but I could imagine him going somewhere like the Jets & transforming their offence. Not sure about Bryce Love - he'll probably end up being a day two guy that could make an impact if he goes to the right spot, but he's the fifth best RB in the class at best.

Yeah, he'll never make it in the NFL.
Giggles
10-12-2017, 12:02 PM
Will he not plummet because of the conventional 'wisdom' that you can't throw passes in the NFL if you're 6 foot?
He should probably be a 2/3 guy, but the hype will probably push him up if he doesn't fuck himself in the interviews etc. Lamar Jackson & Josh Allen are two more who should go on day two, but could end up going top ten if someone loves their physical traits enough.
This years draft is going to be fucking brilliant because there's so many QBs who could be first rounders in anyones eyes and a guessing game of who likes who.
I'm not quite sure why Bryce Love got so much love in the Heisman, your man Saquan Barkley at Penn State basically romped Penn State to relevance nigh on single handedly. Stanford have been good for a few years and Bryce is just the next man up after Christian McCaffrey absolute lit it up.

There any elite WRs that I can get excited about and then watch the Ravens pass on all of them/have them selected just before our picks?
Yeah, but then everyone realised Penn State is a one man team & just put four guys on Saquon for the second half of the year, and he's not the type of back who's going to power through tackles & make hard yards with people hanging off him. There were quite a few times I saw where he'd see a guy coming, try to spin out & create something then get buried by three other guys after losing an extra five yards.

Calvin Ridley at Alabama is pretty good, and given how much Ozzie loves 'bama guys he'll probably get snapped up if he falls to you. Christian Kirk at Texas A&M is another one who's got a decent bit of hype during his time at college, and he's got speed for days. Courtland Sutton, Equanimeous St Brown (yes, that's his actual name), and Simmie Cobbs Jr are the other main guys I can think of that will most likely go in the first two rounds, but then in the middle of the draft you've got guys like James Washington from Oklahoma State who's like a slower, bulkier Michael Thomas, and Anthony Miller from Memphis who's got a bit of Antonio Brown about him.
I've not really watched much of the WR class though, so I'm not as sure on them as I am the RBs.
Barry Sanders then.
If Barry Sanders was 230lbs & could lift a small car, then yeah. It's staggering that a guy as strong & explosive as Saquon just can't plough through people when someone like Ronald Jones is apparently 195lbs but destroys people up the middle.

I'd prefer college because it's a better spectacle and every offense and defense isn't the exact same as every other team. Though the latter one is changing more and more as more college teams just go to the NFL style stuff.
I definitely prefer american football to 'soccer' these days. I think that's partly down to the 'possession is key' aspect football has adopted. See Arsenal today, passing the ball around for fun against Southampton without actually looking dangerous.
The college game is great though because you get some legitimate superstars up against guys who just aren't in the same league. It's quite exciting when you watch someone like Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Leonard Fournette or Todd Gurley just torch people.
The college game seems to be more open to taking risks too so it's a better spectacle in that sense. The triple option teams like Navy, Army and Georgia Tech are boring as fuck though.
The atmosphere sounds great too. I watched this earlier this year and it just gives goosebumps imaging what it'd be like being an amateur athlete / student walking out into that.

I've only really got into college football this year after about three years of trying to like it. It's shit when you get teams like Alabama smashing small schools 70-3 a few times a year but when you get two actually good teams it's pretty good. Finding somewhere online that does condensed videos has helped too.

You can basically ignore the majority of them and pay attention to the POWER FIVE conference teams. Even within them there's a load of teams that just aren't much good at the moment.
It flips heavily from season to season though based on recruiting and coaches. There's been some big moves the last month or so.
Jimbo Fisher leaving Florida State for Texas A&M. (Money)
Scott Frost leaving (12-0) UCF for hopeless Nebraska (Alma Mater, bypassing a potential bigger job in doing so).
Chip Kelly turning down Florida to go to UCLA (presumably because of his history in the PAC 12).
College gameday 2-5pm on a saturday on BT Sport through the season is a really good preview/roundup of college football news. It's the best part of my week during college football season.

Are Wyoming playing at Boise State?
That fucking pitch alone is reason not to watch it.
They're playing Central Michigan, but it's at the Boise State stadium, I think. It's the FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL :D
Look at that fucking arm :drool: You can almost hear the ball screaming he throws it so hard. The head dip on the play fake was pretty obvious though.
Second TD was decent too, and now he's just slung a beautiful long one for his third TD inside the first quarter. He looks similar to Brock Osweiler when he runs due to his size, but his arm is filthy. You can see right away why people love him, he just needs a bit of time to sit & develop - he's wearing one of those wristbands with the plays on it, which doesn't suggest he's going to be ready to run an NFL offence yet, but give him time & he could be incredible.
EDIT: Other than that long TD play, CMU have been a mess so far. I think they fumbled two kickoffs inside the first quarter, as well as losing one on a sack. This isn't looking like being much of a contest unless something changes fast.
Nope, they've just thrown a pick :D
John Elway standing on the sideline :sherlock: Josh Allen must be delighted that CMU are turning it over every possession. He's getting to come on & throw every five minutes.
Three INTs
Two fumbled kickoffs
One sack fumble
And a partridge in a pear tree.

The Paxton experiment hasn't gone that well, so it's not that surprising he fancies a kid from a pissy mid west (?) state.
Imagine the bowl gifts too. "Josh, here is your potato, your potato chips, and your personalised my potato head figurine".
CMU lost another fumble on their latest drive, only for it to roll out of bound before Wyoming could recover it. Not to worry, they got another sack fumble a few plays later & took it back for a TD :D
This is the equivalent of a team of Nathan Peterman's.
EDIT: And to prove it, another INT in the endzone on the next drive.
I've lost count at this point, but I think that's 4 INTs & 7 fumbles (including 2 on sacks & 2 on kickoffs), with 5 recovered by Wyoming, and 1 of those was returned for a TD. Maybe 5 or 6 total sacks as well.
Basically Josh Allen shat on Central Michigan for the first quarter, then the defence shat on them for the rest of the game.
EDIT: I stopped watching with about 5mins left & they still managed to turn the ball over one more time :D It was only eight turnovers, but chuck in the fumbles they didn't lose & CMU were in double figures for the game.

I saw the stats for their game with San Diego state. Something like 1/6 for 4 yards, with 400 yards rushing :cab:
Rashaad Penny looks like a baller, by the way.
They did a piece on it on college gameday. Effectively their WRs just have competitions to see who can be the best blockers and gets points if they take the CB to the ground or out of bounds.
It is turgid to watch, but it's quite effective if you've got a mobile QB and a reasonable OL in college.
Well, McKenzie Milton & the UCF offence have been pretty sloppy to start this game.
Milton has improved since half-time, but so have Auburn. It's been a close game, but Shaquem Griffen has once again been an absolute beast. The guy 100% deserves to be drafted, even with one hand, he's been great every time I've watched UCF & by all accounts he's got an amazing work ethic & drive to get better.
If he ends up with the Saints I'd probably buy a jersey, to be fair.
Foe did you see the facebuster/piledriver that just got delivered in the UCF game? :cab: That was the equivalent of a spear tackle in rugby - no idea how that doesn't come under targeting, given he could have literally broken the guys neck.

It's the most dangerous tackle I think I've ever seen in any sport.
Channel 426 now boys. Oklahoma Georgia about to kick off.
I don't mind who wins this so long as the winner beats Clemson in the final.
Oklahoma starting in Oklahoma fashion - fast, aggressive & effective.
Georgia now doing Georgia stuff in return - toss sweep, run it hard, throw it short & medium a lot, get play action going.
So fucking easy man.
Wasn't even under pressure on any of the throws.
Although Georgia did this against auburn and then fell apart if I remember right, so it's early days yet.
Defence is not allowed in California apparently. Shoot out. :drool:
It's been a nice start to the game. Both teams getting into the endzone & looking good doing what they do best.
What was the score in that UCF/Memphis game? 62-56 or something? We could be getting that kind of scoreline here if this carries on.
I refuse to believe there's no elite pass rushers or line backers in this game. At some point they have to show up.
Well they haven't so far. Roquan Smith has barely been mentioned as of yet. I'm actually not sure there are any decent pass rushers in the game, to be fair.
EDIT: Nope, still not shown up :D 35pts in 16mins. Not exactly what we expected.
Oh well.
Baker mayfield is so good. I really hope he ends up at a pro team who actually train him up and give him a shot rather than be the next AJ MCcarron stalking the bench for five years. He may never be a starter, but he's technically really good.
He'll go in the first round & start week one. There are too many teams that need a QB for him to get past about pick 20 - same goes for Josh Allen & Lamar Jackson, although I don't think anyone's quite desperate enough to take Mason Rudolph in the first as well. You have five potential first round QBs if Rosen & Darnold both declare, and Cleveland, Denver, both New York teams, Miami, Buffalo & Arizona that could all be in the market for them, nevermind the teams looking for developmental guys like us, Pittsburgh & the Chargers (maybe Washington too). There could be a mad scramble if we have a few decent names in free agency or a team with an early pick starts taking trade offers.
I'd love it if Baker fell all the way to us so we could get a successor to Brees, but at the same time we don't have a second round pick so we actually kinda need to use that pick on the front seven since at the minute it's basically still just Cam Jordan & some dudes (albeit better dudes than usual).
You can even use him as a receiver :cool:
I love that Rodrigo Blankenship wears his glasses in the game. I also love that his name is Rodrigo Blankenship. I quite like the kick too.
Yeah don't disagree.
I think this year there's a lot of QB movement possible. Doesn't bode well for trace mcsoeley, jake browning etc next year but should mean this years draft is REALLY entertaining.
I reckon there will be a qb that just appears out of nowhere too. Your
Man trubisky wasn't a big name until draft zone got pumping.
I quite like Trace McSorley from the times i've watched Penn State to see Saquon, but I'm not sure he'll work out as an NFL QB. Not seen Browning, or Drew Lock from Missouri who's meant to be a potential stud, but I think Jarrett Stidham could find his way up there if he stays another year. Jake Fromm will be a top guy when he comes out too, assuming he keeps on like he has done this season, and both Kelly Bryant & Jalen Hurts will get consideration although I've not been fussed about Hurts from the little I've seen.
Of the guys in this year's class I think Riley Ferguson could be a decent guy in the later rounds, but I'm not really sure who's available beyond the main guys.
I really like Nick Chubb. There's some fantastic RB talent this year - you'll probably be able to get a stud in the fifth round it's so deep.
Chubb will suffer the same ajayi fate. As soon as you've seen THAT knee injury, you know he's not going as a high draft pick. Sony Michel is like ameer abdullah too, sontheres a place in the pros for him.

Glad I stayed up to watch that now. Fantastic game.
Not only did Alabama win, but I overslept by two hours & am now very late for work :moop:
Fuck sake.
Alabama seeing sense & getting Hurts out of the game made the difference, along with giving the ball to Najee Harris. Two freshman, by the way.
Fromm got unlucky with the two picks, and Blankenship is a beast, but losing from 13-0 at halftime is rubbish.
So annoying. More so because my recording cut out befor eover time so had to just look it up.
Tua taog-vila (not even going to attempt it) is clearly raw, but good god for someone with zero meaningful appearances he looked pretty fucking goood. If I was jalen hurts I'd be seriously considered I'd even see the field again. Same with if you're a HS QB with talent, why would you ever go to bama? Makes that qb that bailed in pre season look like a genius. Can't mind his name, but he was a 5 star recruit I think and fucked off to play juco.
It’s the same thing at Georgia to be fair. Eason was the starter at the beginning of the season & now he’s likely transferring to Washington, and I’m not entirely sure why the #1 QB in the high school class has decided to commit there when Fromm could still be there three years.
I've spent all day watching Josh Rosen videos on YouTube :drool: Still need to watch more of the other guys, but he's got potential to be Brady - phenomenal accuracy to any part of the field, can't run, does the sneak well, most people think he's a prick. Ticks all the Brady boxes :nodd:

Has he had an up and coming guy traded yet?
He probably could've if he wanted to - he was friends with Jim Mora's daughter before he recruited Rosen there, so chances are he could've swung things his way. I think most people don't like him because he's the anti-Russell Wilson, in that he has opinions on things & will give them if asked.
YouTube videos are deceptive. Not going to show the bad. My imagine is tainted because I'm sure I watched a Rosen game early season and came away underwhelmed.
It's a shame for Lamar Jackson that Louisville were total shit because I don't think he had a prime time game all year so seems to have completely slipped under the radar.
Tanner lee leaving Nebraska early is an odd one.
Josh Allen must've got some serious sniffs from pro scouts too, else why come out this year when there's teams of talent.

I've been watching the cutups of all his throws, rather than highlight videos - think I've watched eight of his games from this season since yesterday. He's staggeringly accurate, with his deep ball being particularly good (think I saw one underthrown in eight games, the rest were either perfect or out in front where no defender could get it), but he'll trust his arm too much at times & try throws he shouldn't. He needs to improve stuff like pocket awareness & looking off defenders, and he fumbled at least three times in those games on about six sacks, which is also a worry, but he can start week one if he has to & he'd be better than half the QBs currently starting.
Lamar Jackson is a disgusting athlete, and will probably run a 4.3 or something insane, but he obviously needs a lot of work as a passer. Didn't stop Cam going #1 overall, mind, and Jackson's a better runner, if smaller & less likely to be able to take all the hits Cam does. As for Josh Allen, his arm is obscene, and he's a pretty good athlete for his size (way better than Rosen, but nowhere near Jackson), but his team was dogshit this year & he's had horrible numbers, particularly completion %. He should be a guy that sits for at least a year, ideally two, but if you can get him tidied up he's a bigger hybrid of Rodgers & Wentz. They'll both probably go in R1 since everyone needs a QB, but you'd want to sit them if you could.
Not watched Tanner Lee, but it seems like every underclassman QB should stay unless they're getting R1/2 level signals.
Yep. Tanner lee is leaving because, despite being complete shit, he's about 6'7 and ideally suited to the NFL. He's just not been very good. With Scott frost going in I think he and his family crapped at the idea of him being dropped.
Like a cardale jones kind of story, only he hasn't won anything.
:D
I hope he got his degree then. There are so many kids who have no chance of getting drafted that throw away their education to declare for reasons that nobody can exactly figure out.

What is it about that sport and its capacity for violent death?

It's played by Americans.
All the hype that draft guys were building about Marcus Davenport, saying he was a top 10-15 guy, and he's been shit so far at the Senior Bowl :drool:
