Shane Beamer literally talking about how good his 2023 recruiting class ranking. He’s thrown out about every stat he possibly can, including a breakdown of his teams voting for captains. “Top 12 vote getters last year, 7 of them are back”. Who gives a rats ass. Yall were 5-7

I think? There are some who can play today at 4p but I believe you had to pre-order some special bundle from what I read.

Just found this:

Those who preordered the deluxe edition of EA Sports College Football 25, bought the MVP bundle with Madden 25 or have EA Play early access will be able to play the game on Monday, July 15. The standard version of the game will be available to play on Friday, July 19.

Yeah I bought that whole package for PS5 so my early access would have only been for PS5. Oof.

• MLB First-Year Player Draft
  Also known as the Rule 4 Draft, players must meet the following criteria to be eligible:
  • Be a resident of the United States, Canada, or a U.S. territory
  • Have graduated high school but not attended college
  • Have completed at least one year of junior college
  • For four-year college players, be eligible after three years of enrollment or turning 21, whichever comes first
  • Have never signed a major or minor league contract

Thank you

I have a friend who was once kidnapped by a gang of mimes. They did unspeakable things to him.

Shane Beamer has an interesting brand of asberger's such that when he falls, he's gonna fall hard. Media tantrums. Telling the fans they should be grateful to even win 5 games. The whole nine yards.

Could be this year. Expectations of USCjr are probably low enough that another bad year just puts him on the hot seat. I don't think any of their fans are prepared to admit how much of their limited success was just Spencer Rattler being better than anyone wanted to give him credit for.

Catches my eye William Wright got #0

Not often you see a walk-on secure one of the most coveted numbers by his position group... there were rumors he'd be a starter this fall.

Sounds like Butch. He threw the kitchen sink when it came to sugar coating .

Butch's downfall was when Lawson left.

Lawson and Jancek.

So, I spent all day yesterday searching the stores for a console to play CFB25 today and I finally got my hands on a PS5 and got the game pre-ordered, but I figured out the Deluxe edition($100) is the only way to play before Friday lol. And there’s no way to upgrade from the standard edition I have either. Oh well honestly I’ve been waiting 10 years for this game so less than a week is nothing.

That 2016 & 2017 team was soft as heck

What sort of deal were you able to get on a system? Used or new?

Shockingly so compared to 2015.

Grant ferking has number 0 and he never played a down.

Grant had everyone on his payroll so that was an exception

I traded a gaming PC that I don’t use anymore for a PS5 digital edition with someone on Facebook marketplace. Not a very nice PC but it could do some 1440p gaming. It was nothing compared to my main rig I use for work though lol so it was just a backup. Edit: I guess to better answer your question, I wasn’t able to find a single console of any kind to play the game in any store I looked. So you’re better off going online

Well, that's complicated. What do you think the $$ value was?

I did some edits to my post for some more clarity for you. I would say to build the whole thing would have been about $900-1000 I’d say. The graphics card was free since I got it from work, so the whole setup only cost me about >$500 to build. I was happy to let it go since it was just a weaker version of my current PC.

Watching SEC Network today makes me thankful for one thing!

I thank my lucky stars that Shane Beamer isn’t our coach! Dude makes excuses instead of just saying we didn’t get it done last year. He’s much worse than Butch Jones, he’s brought up beating us and Clemson in every interview!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

0 isn't really a WR coveted number, but for some reason it is for the secondary.

 

[gainesvol82]

This is why it's mind boggling why William Schmidt decided to attend LSU instead of draft. The kid is 1st round talent and the money that he would've got is going to trump anything LSU could offer, besides an education.

Don't discount the college experience. In a way, he is betting on himself and that professional ball will still be an option when he's done with college ball.

He would either develop a few years in the minors or he can develop in college, enjoy the experience, still get drafted (maybe higher, maybe not) and possibly spend less time in the minors. Future professional athletes tend to do pretty well with the ladies in college.

Umm, news flash…that was 2 seasons ago! We hammered that butt when you didn’t have all of our signals.

Back in the day of cathode ray tube screens, they said TV adds 10 pounds to your appearance.

Parents came to expect that their daughters would return from their first year of college having gained the requisite "freshman 15" pounds of added weight.

Looking at this digitized depiction of Iamaleava... enter into the lexicon the "EA twen-tay."

Really hope individuals aren't watching SEC Media Days. So much love for Georgia, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama.

I listen and smile and think you guys have no idea what's a coming. Meaning the SEC guys not ya'll in before the pitchforks come swinging.

Drew Beam drafted by Royals in 3rd round.
