Apparently it is not Hurst... interesting...

Guess it's time to buckle up!
2 days 1 hour ago I agree, some of the

I agree, some of the highlights look very good. But there are some that don't look so good too (for example one in the middle where he does a 7 yard post and cannot shake the corner). It's fine to be excited about each recruit, but you can't admit that he's on the same level as Treadwell... especially since he's from California, which isn't a relatively unrecruited state. I don't know why you're being so defensive about him!
2 days 2 hours ago Yes he is - Scout has him as

Yes he is - 

Scout has him as a 2 star WR/DB despite being an ideal 6'2, 180. This is probably because of his listed 40 time as a 4.67 (that's a lot slower than he looks!) and he seems to play QB quite a lot, which would make him a very raw receiving talent.

EDIT - I should add that if the coaches are looking at him for WR instead of ATH, then that does not signal good things because we need at least 1 all around package at wideout or 1 speedster, and he does not look to be a shitfy playmaker from that film.
1 week 1 day ago I thought this was a

I thought this was a wonderfully written article - comparing the affair between the Big 10 and the Rose Bowl to that of Romeo and Juliet... they refuse to live without the other, even if it means committing suicide together. 

This is lunacy.. it is crazy to think that the NFL and the cities that host their teams make millions of dollars off of a playoff script that has, for the most part, allowed for a team to win a championship based on its skill and NOT its region. This is all in the face of college football, an institution where extortion and theft should be discouraged, with its reluctance to leave its abusive relationship with the bowls.

There are NO LEGITIMATE arguments against the idea of having a semifinal + final playoff, with the higher seed in the semifinals getting a home berth. Screw the advertising firms! Who needs them? Michigan has been consistently making profit from its athletics without advertising in the Big House, if that's what they're scared of. The TV revenue from a semifinal game played ON a college campus would be ENORMOUS. Not to mention the revenue the city itself would get. On top of this, the college football finals game, now deemed as a legitimate contest for the best team in the country, would also experience an ENORMOUS increase in ratings.

Literally everyone involved wins, aside from the Bowl CEOs and some advertising companies. Is that too much to ask?
1 week 4 days ago I was reading the Yahoo!

I was reading the Yahoo! Sports (I know, terrible source) article on this happening yesterday, and one of the justifications Florida State used for a potential leave from the ACC is that it would be "hard to bring fans to the Panhandle from such faraway locations as Syracuse and Pitt". But if they were to go to the Big 12, then... they would have just as hard of a time with Oklahoma, Ok St, Iowa St, etc.

But really this boils down to the fact that the ESPN deal doesn't add MORE money to the conference. 

Think about it, though - you're televising your top games nationally, and that attracts media attention and fans. Not to mention, since ESPN has the broadcast rights to the ACC, they're going to talk it up a bit more too. Given the fact that the conference's prestige will undoubtedly increase due to more media exposure, I believe that they all stand to benefit greatly in the long run. This is all in the face of a deal that doesn't cause any of the athletic departments to LOSE any money.

Also, no, the Big 10 is fine where it is. No crappy ACC teams please.
2 weeks 12 hours ago I am happy for DeAnthony! He

I am happy for DeAnthony! He will be a great receiver once he has time to learn the playbook and gain team chemistry with his teammates. While he was a slightly productive receiver at Tennessee, it may be possible that he doesn't have the same productivity at Staee, for whatever reason. 

Whatever it takes to strengthen the Big 10 and weaken the SEC, I am fine with. Plus, he's no match for Countess, Floyd, Kovacs, and Gordon.
2 weeks 1 day ago No their quarterback is

No their quarterback is terrible. York has all the DBs beat in a lot of the highlights and has to stop to catch the ball.. And a lot of times, has to catch it in odd angles and positions. Imagine how good York's highlights would be if the QB actually placed the ball... you know... in front of York?
2 weeks 2 days ago To me, the data does not

To me, the data does not paint a clear picture. I can still infer what is going on though.. But please answer this question:

Did you get the data of the receiver from the box score?

I ask this because the Michigan defense did not put a corner on a single man.. they played Floyd as boundary, so the receiver he would go up against would switch, depending on how the receiver lined up. I know Michael Floyd, for example, lined up at slot a lot during the ND game. I think I remember Ebert lining up in the slot a lot as well. Also, Jordan White was up against Woolfolk a lot, if I remember correctly.

Still, JT is a decent to good Big 10 corner, as the data shows.. surrendering only one touchdown all year is a magnificent feat. He's always going to have haters because of the poor coaching of Tony Gibson. Now that he's being taught better, his natural athletic ability has a chance to show on the field, just like with everyone else on the defense.
3 weeks 3 days ago While these things are truly

While these things are truly disturbing and a negative part of the game, the only real negatives that football has over other sports is the propensity for *head* injuries and the financial exploitation. 

While this is definitely terrible, college football also provides something which other sports do not. The football teams of each school are like gladiators and they play for the pride and tradition of the school. While this is the case also with other sports, none are as unifying and powerful as football, where the glory of victory radiates throughout the student body.

It's too intertwined with the ideals of the university to just... eliminate! We need it to further tradition and create memories and stories.

The players fully know what they are signing up for when they join their respective teams - a shot at respresenting their university on the field of battle and a shot at playing professional football.
3 weeks 4 days ago You're right. ALL OF THOSE

You're right.

ALL OF THOSE were reasons why this thread is a fail. 

Good work!
