Sorry. I'm working on it.

Keep trying, I've got faith you'll get there..

Man that announcer yelling: "The best player in college football!" every time he ran through the screen. Annoying as ...

Must of been Andre ware. Every game he does that teams best player is always the best player in the country

I think it was the Colorectal radio guys. It was over and over in the Coach Prime show.

Ruining the thread with the Deion talk. No one gives a crap about Deion or Colorado.

And if it is a team from a smaller conference, they are excellent and can absolutely compete with the bigger conference teams.

 

[LaagerVol]

Deion was an outstanding player of the game.

I don't think he's coached long enough to be able to know how good a coach he is. His reputation as a player has led to him getting some excellent players, which allow him to out-talent other teams. But his body of work is still too small to know if he's outcoaching other teams or just has better talent. IMO, he's not ready for the NFL, but I could easily be wrong.

As a person, he comes across extremely arrogant. That's why most people don't like him.

Spot on. I think it’s really that simple.

 

[LaagerVol]

Arrogant individuals are everywhere. Probably a few on VolNation if I was a betting individual..

Of course. Maybe the same people who dislike Deion for his arrogance also dislike the arrogant VN posters.

Insiders are in hiding. Has VQ mentioned us pursuing anyone other than Prego?

Possibly Ragu and Bertolli.

Nope - they just keep saying "We'll see who else goes into the portal" so unless there is a big name WR from ND or OSU we may wait until spring.

Understandable. Rao is already making bank through Costco.

I just don't think we'll see the same kind of talent in the Spring portal, not to mention that means they miss Spring practice here.

I wish we would have pursued Tamarcus Cooley, the safety from NC State. Looks like he's projected to Ole Miss on On3. I think he could have solidified our DB room. Bishop Fitzgerald, also a safety from NC State, would have been a good pickup, too. Add them and a solid DT and I would like our defense next season a lot more. I'm fine with going young on offense next season.

Playoff teams like Penn St are on Cooley

They are all more serious than we are in general. Safety play was garbage as a whole. Zero athleticism.

On3 shows Ole Miss on Cooley, and Penn State on Fitzgerald.

I mean we were also a playoff team.

NC State's safeties sure did show out against our "terrible" offense.

Are you always this dumb?

 

[Weezer]

Their safeties actually weren't bad. But they're just 2 of 11 players on the defense. Blaming them is akin to BOT's absurd comments about JPJ all year.

Do bears defecate in the woods and kick it on the trail?

[TrippieRedd]

All I could find is that he made it to Texas for his visit.

I’ll go ahead and concede. We aren’t outbidding them.

Hope I'm wrong

I'm not blaming their safeties, just responding to an idiotic comment about how we are not serious because we may not go after either of them in the portal. As far as their impact on that game, and again against what an awful lot of people keep calling a terrible and predictable offense, Cooley had two assisted tackles with one being for a loss. Fitzgerald had 3 total tackles(2 solo). Neither were credited with a Pass defensed or Interception in the game. I'm sure they both played just fine but the one safety who had a memorable performance in that game was Will Brooks.
