Man the stuff we somehow got away with that freshman year.

Gamedays were an experience. Wake up hung over. Look out your dorm window and see the campus engulfed in a sea of red. Quick bite to eat at the cafeteria before the fun begins.

Then it's on to the tailgating and pregame drinking. Pacing yourself for a long day of course. Our dorm parking lot was an alum lot. The night before a game I always had to move to a different lot. Those old timers knew how to throw down. We'd always be offered free beers, shots, food.

And lastly, nothing like smoking the fattest joints imaginable in the woods right before kickoff and then crossing the street to enter Sanford Stadium. That sensation you feel when you join the fray of tens of thousands of people with a cool buzz is one I will always cherish.

That's the life of a typical college student 

Bring on Ohio St so we can finally end that narrative

I went wild my freshman year. Toned it down in the years that followed, but man those times were fun. Went by too fast. And I'm grateful that the early 2000s were the infancy age of smart phones and social media. It just felt like an entirely different era.

 

 

Willing to bet Deion will get a ton of backlash from his community for not staying at an HBCU.

Naw. I don’t think he’ll get a ton. People understand chasing money and power

Saw Tommy and Me when it was in Hershey.  I didn't have any expectations, dad got the tickets for us.  Really fun story and then a Q&A with Ray Diddy afterwards.  I know a lot of people got sick of him and his yellow  notepad but I haven't watched Post Game Live since he left.

Doubt it.  Suspect he gets support for his success moving up in the college coaching ranks and possibly inspires others to follow in his footsteps.   HBCUs are integrated now but the history of why they exist goes back to the days of Plessy v Ferguson and the Second Morrill Act of 1890.  (The battle of Prairie View A&M for equal funding with Texas and Texas A&M as land grant colleges is interesting to legal scholars @NCiggles.) Don’t think Coach Neon moving to a Power 5 conference will get a ton of backlash.  Plus he gets to go live in Boulder, as opposed to Jackson.  Better drawing card for recruitment.

On the discussion of whether or not the Eagles have a 'down the field passing attack':

Ranking based on Completed Air Yards per completion.

 

Intended Air Yards per Pass Attempt

 

Do with that whatever you will.

If TCU loses today do they still get in?

I guess the Chiefs don't have one either.

They just don't.  We all watch the games every Sunday.  There is no down field passing attack at all.  It's a shame with the WR this team has too.  The numbers that RTK throws out suggest they do but numbers are deceptive.  

Just look at DeVonta Smith.  I'm going to beat this dead horse but it's so damn frustrating.  His long catch per game...17, 24, 15, 22, 14, 13, 22, 7, 45, 19, 0.  Week 3 was his great game against Washington, otherwise he's a possession WR.

A lot of bad QBs at the top of those lists because they're not adjusted numbers.

Make of those numbers whatever you wish.    They say, figures don't lie, but liars can figure.  

Rising finally looking healthy again , big game  for him

Most defenses are now designed to stop the big play with these Fangio concept defenses. Got to have guys who are good with YAC (I.E. Brown & Goedert). A lot of dinking and dunking going on out there. Look at the Chiefs offense which used to be a quick strike offense. Even with Hill last year, their MO changed drastically. The quick strike scores are rare now. Most games are pretty boring with these 15 play drives that eat up half of a quarter. Also, with the way we have been stopping the run, I don't think Sirianni wants to score too fast and expose that run defense to more snaps and for time of possession to be skewed. But yes, I would still like to see us take more shots downfield.

Its been around for a few years, Ray use to promote it a lot when he was on WIP. I heard it was good but never saw it myself

Completely false, never heard anyone say anything negative about Ray Diddy, being sick of him or his note in any show, article, social media, etc. Sounds like you just made it up out of thin air.

If Bama gets into the final 4……..

I’ve been saying it all along. It was brilliant strategy on their part losing two games and not even qualifying for the SEC championship. That way they don’t have to risk losing that game too. It’s like they’re given a bye into the playoffs.

And you know there will be people who will think they deserve it because well, Alabama!

They replaced Ray Diddy with Reuben Frank - so the yellow notebook has been replaced by pro football reference. Seems like they are trying to go with the same formula… there’s only so much Jaws and Barrett Brooks I can take and Barkann trying to fill up the space ain’t a great solution as it gets cartoonish quick. Haven’t watched much pre/postgame live in awhile…

Great way of summing it up.  Jaws is just too much.  Barrett Brooks has marbles in his mouth.  Reub might be the most condescending reporter out there.  Question his opinion and you're some sort of idiot.

There were a few comments here over the years saying how some were sick of the yellow notebook.  Not making it up.

Yes. Can't be penalized for playing an extra game and Kansas St. is ranked 13th
