Yes. Unlike the pros, sacks are considered rushes in college. I remember arguing with a high school classmate about that in the early-1970s.

Good way to put it.

Lindsey has gotten better over the past couple of weeks about realizing when he has to give up on the routes and tuck it and go, but he doesn't look like a gazelle out there so any gains on busted plays will likely be minimal. That's not his game, so we live with it. I believe what many of us...

Thanks. I didn't know that he was a Penn State commit.

I don't know if he is a fallback if Bergeron flips, but Mission Hills (CA) 3-star QB Troy Huhn is listed as "warm" for Virginia Tech. Franklin recruited him when he was at Penn State. Huhn's offer list is more impressive than Bergeron's, but that may be a function of Bergeron committing to...

I think there would be a lot more parity. Going back to one of my points in an earlier post, teams in a higher-tiered league would absolutely recruit the heck the best players in the lesser league and if the portal applies to the higher-tiered league, you will see players leaving programs for...

I think you would see a lot (not everyone of course) of lesser-recruited players or QBs that want to play right away end up in the also-ran league and then step up to the Blue Bloods for their third and any subsequent seasons (when I say any, after the Pavia court case some guys will be playing...

Who knows? Maybe the portal will start allowing guys to transfer mid-season.

From my vantage point, if the Blue Bloods would bolt, they would immediately try to fashion some kind of partnership with the NFL. It wouldn't take the form of cash, but it may include some type of informal affiliation. The Blue Bloods would promote their product "You're watching guys who play...

I'm watching less as well. I'm usually reading or doing something around the house on Saturdays and Sundays so I will usually have a game on in the background on television or computer. I don't know your age, but I'm in my 70s and while I don't want to sound like an old man yelling at a cloud...

I agree, but as you lay out, the difference between Medved and Johnson is that Medved has a solid idea of what he wants to run and the players that best fit his system. It's not apples-to-apples, but I view Johnson as similar to Brewster minus the blather. I do think if Christie, Payne, and...

Agreed.

I think a program has to start with a system and find players to fit that system. Medved's in his first year and we have a bit of a hodgepodge of guys this year. That will likely change over the next couple of years and the talent level will improve. But it has to start with a system or else...

It wouldn't have made a difference in the end, but the officiating was terrible and I don't think we got a call all night. They were mugging our WRs and TEs.

If the Blue Bloods started their own gig, it would be the end of college football at that level and it would just be semi-pro football at that tier (some would argue that not much would actually change in that regard). But the Blue Bloods would negotiate a giant television deal and feed off of...
