    I did actually. I signed up to espn player for £20 a month to watch game day and have this on whilst watching the Man City game on my other tv.

    Bloody good catch it was too. Ole miss look a lot better than they have done for a while.

    Alabama Louisville and Washington auburn dual screen later maybe, depending on timings.

    The punting in the Texas Tech game is quite something.

    Yeah, first week of the college season (well, i think some of the shit ones in divisions nobody cares about played last week).

    Washington/Auburn, Michigan/Notre Dame & LSU/Miami are the highlight games, although Ole Miss have a handful of NFL players & Texas Tech have Dakota Allen from Last Chance U so this is a decent one as well.

    I'm fully expecting someone to sign him and he magically learns how to catch the ball.

    It would be a very Ravens thing.

    Nah. Washington will get back in this. Auburn looks pretty solid but washington have enough to bounce back.

    Some great catches already this season.

    Dan Bailey released by the Cowboys. Didn't see that one coming.

    Sounds like Martavis will be following Khalil Mack out the door too.

    I find it funny (and slightly sad) that everyone was saying Jonathan Williams was going to replace Mark Ingram only for him to get cut.

    Sucks for him but we can actually stash him on an injury list now.

    RGIII has made the roster.

    Only 8 QB's (Rodgers, Ryan, Cousins, Jimmy G, Stafford, Carr, Brees and Luck) have a higher average per year.

    Highest total value contract though and second highest guaranteed according to Overthecap (but they only have Rodgers at $78.7m). The deal is bonkers but I guess they can afford it with Trubisky still under his rookie deal for years.

    I have a feeling that Griffin wont be on our roster for a long time.

    Apparently we have a lot of interest and I'd imagine that they were low balling us in the hopes that we'd cut him. I think we'd take a fourth which I think is feasible.

    Right, now I've been round & picked up Alfred Morris in every fantasy league, I should probably mention that Jerick McKinnon is done for the season with a non-contact ACL tear.

    So tua is the starter and that creates an interesting dynamic for jalen hurts.

    1. Stay until December, graduate and transfer.
    2. Stay but don't play in more than 4 games, transfer and you don't lose academic eligibility for the year, so have 2 years of eligibility left.
    3. Stay and hope tua gets injured so you can take over.
    4. Leave now, play in juco and go to another school next year.

    I think sabans been a bit sneaky because he knows it sort of makes sense for hurts to just stay and transfer next year. Means he has two competent qbs for the year and can recruit another qb to backup tua next year (on the draw of him only having 1 year left and he'll go pro).

    Would be amusing if jalen leaves and tua gets injured. As it is, he'll stay, graduate and transfer to Texas.

    To my understanding College football gets massive numbers supporting it too, so they'll offer the better prospects a scholarship at their college with the bonus that they get to play football for a better team. There's money to be made after all.

    The idea being you'll put up better numbers in a better team and so stand out better etc. Certain schools have a high number of first round picks too.

    Players can go to whatever college they want. Some colleges play in more prestigious conferences and naturally attract better talent and get more media attention.

    If you play and play well at one of these big schools you're likely to attract the attention of NFL scouts. However, it doesn't really matter where you play if you're good enough. Carson wentZ was the second overall pick and he played at a lower tier school, akin to playing for the likes of Rochdale or port vale. Same with khalil Mack who played for an equivalent of like a Rotherham.

    Back to NFL news, Paxton lynch and Davis Webb have both been waived.

    The top colleges get 100,000 fans at games. The biggest stadiums in the us are college football stadiums. It's masssive, massive business despite the players getting sweet fuck all payment (bar food, board and education). College coaches can make a huge amount. Jimbo fisher left one powerhouse for another this summer (Florida state for Texas A&M) and he's got like a $100m contract with $75mill in guarantees. Nick saban is at the biggest college (Alabama) and he left the Miami Dolphins head coaching gig to go there.

    You know what? I don’t think Penn State are going to miss Saquon at all if Miles Sanders looks as good as he did against Appalachian State every week.

    He’s not quite got the insane explosiveness & lateral quickness of Saquon, but he’s still really good in both areas & he’s better as a between the tackles runner than Barkley.

    I think he’s a junior too so he could declare this year if he runs wild.

    Just watching the Florida State/Virginia Tech game and man, FSU are terrible on offence. The line is a mess, their play calling is awful & they've got an amazing ability to fuck everything up when they get in a good position.

    Yeah, they're really not a good team. A bit like Florida last year where the team was ranked because of the hype.

    Lsu looked way better this year though and they completely dismantled the hurricanes. Sec might be quite competeitive if A&M, miss state and ole miss actually turn up.

    Turns out the Saints asked that same question. We've just cut Boston Scott

    Mike Gillislee's second on the depth chart too, so expect either 30 carries for Alvin Kamara or 3 TDs for Gillislee.

    The delay isn't going to help.
