Some good points here, but (and I have inherited wealth that I can't currently access due to its being in an LLC) just because we don't need it doesn't mean we don't have it and unless we blow it all or the economy totally tanks it will again be passed down again. The inability to produce...

I think Jordan Hudson can probably tackle better than half of the guys on the UNC defense.

Don't worry. I can probably recognize less than a dozen songs recorded after 2000.

UNC v. TCU. Spread (TCU -3.5). O/U 54.5. Chances of Jordan Hudson being at game (?). O/U on number of camera pans to Jordan Hudson if she is at the game (99.5)

I'm in the my 70s and agree. Was Doug Williams the first notable black QB? I'm pretty sure he was the first black QB to be drafted in the first round and the first black QB to win a Super Bowl and that was in the late-1970s through the late-1980s. Great player.

Also Leftwich and McNair (and I know I'm missing some). Two African-American QBs were drafted before Sanders: Ward (1/1) and Milroe (3/92). I don't think Sanders' fall had anything to do with race. He didn't workout at the combine and supposedly didn't interview well (I say "supposedly"...

It's a clumsy comparison, but I saw Saban as the football equivalent of John Wooden. Both had a ton of resources and the attention of every top-drawer recruit in the country, but they changed their styles as the game itself changed instead of clinging to a single system. Saban has become a bit...

Castellanos has put up great stats in the past, but can be erratic. He is a headache for defenses because he's so quick and has pretty good instincts as to when to tuck and run. You really can't put a "spy" on him because you may end up wasting the guy given Castellanos elusiveness.

First half of the first game and all, but the way he's looked the only way he gets the Heisman is if he either saves up enough box-tops or the Manning family buys it for him. I'm surprised how poor his form is. tOSU defense is extremely good, but Manning looks like he's just winging it.

I wonder if this is in the cards at some point. Ray and Marshall are both done after this year and I would think they would want to get positive experience for younger players, especially one as highly-rated as Tafai.

Same here. Thank you GophersinIowa.

But what about AJ Barker's mom?

Smith was let go in the middle of the 2018 season either right after the Nebraska debacle or a week or so later. It may have been the second blowout that did him in. I probably should have written it more clearly. Fleck pounded Nebraska in 2017 and got pounded by Nebraska in 2018.

Kill won a couple in a row against Nebraska, but I don't think Claeys beat them. Fleck's first year (2017) we beat them 54-21 and Nebraska turned the tables in 2018 beating us 53-28. They racked up 383 yards on the ground and I remember the game pretty much spelled the end for Robb Smith, I...

I'm saving bytes by not copying your whole post WindyCity, but that is one of the most accurate depictions of what is wrong with the state of MLB right now that I have read. I don't know how to fix it given consumer preferences for action, action, action on the playing field at all times and...

After watching him play QB for the Gophers, "emergency QB" was Dungy's ceiling under center at the pro level.

I'm guessing this will lead to Portnoy's Complaint.

Tyler Cooper cut by the Packers. Nothing yet on Lindenberg. Fingers crossed he makes the Raiders' 53.

I think you've hit on it. For a guy in Jackson's situation, you need one standout tool (usually size or speed) to make folks take full notice. Still and all, he'll likely be on a practice squad somewhere. He's a solid player who just needs to find a fit.

Jah Joyner was cut by the Raiders. I'm guessing both these guys will have legitimate chances to be on someone's practice squad.
