Recruiting Football Talk VIII

You had my attention at bacon..sounds like time for a BLT.

Nice top 25 matchup in week 2 against NC State

The exposé by the FF on Gaston Moore is really something. To think a Heisman candidate QB has been holding out as a no name walk on for 7 years. Selfish.

It really does go to show that no matter how popular your starting QB is, the backup QB is always the favorite player of some percentage of the fan base.

Twenty years ago today I asked my childhood sweetheart, my best friend and the most beautiful woman in the world to
marry me.

All three said NO!

Now that the Olympics are over, I'm jonesing for football and commitments.

Same for me, but I'm Heupeling for football.

Winton III for sure now going for 1,500 yards and our 2nd Biletnikoff in 3 seasons.

 

[Rishvol]

Apparently Moore been lookin more than capable at practice

Maybe the Rams give him a shot when Stetson fizzles?

Dang Christian Moore has been practicing with the Rams also? What can't he do?

The official CFP site still states that the 5 P5 conference champions will receive automatic bids.

The Pac12 will still exist as a 2-team conference through 24-25 season with Oregon State and Washington State as the sole members competing in 4 sports (football, track&field, women's gymnastics, and wrestling).

That means as of now, one of Washington State or Oregon State would be presumed to steal a CFP automatic bid in 2024.

Correction: Loophole was closed. PAC12 is considered G5 essentially and 5 automatic bids go to 5 highest ranked conf. champs.

Our fanbase is passionate but not the most knowledgeable that’s why the football forum is a great spot for that discussion

If you've been satisfied with the DB play since WM was hired, then good for you.

I'm still waiting for DBs to look for the ball and play tighter coverage without the big cushion against our better competitors.

Please don't use the "WM has not had enough time to develop or get the players he needs yet" excuse. He has!

IMO

You think running full speed, keeping contact with your man, and turning to track the ball is easy? I think you are simplifying the skills needed to play the position.

Uros has some insanely long arms

You know what they say about a man with long arms.....




Long sleeves

Maybe the webmaster is asleep

This is from February and seems much more reasonable

Well that eliminates a lot of VN posters.

Correction: All that to say this: There are 12 playoff spots. 5 go to conf. champs. 7 at-large bids.

At the current AP ranking (assuming highest ranked team per conf wins conf) we are only 4 spots back from an atlarge

Okay that makes WAY more sense. So basically Pac12 is treated as a G5 team

 

[DaddyChad]

Everyone can do it. You just simply have to run with WRs with world class speed who knows the route he’s running, predict when the ball is in the air and find it while not losing coverage of course. Simple as riding a unicycle while juggling chainsaws.


Idk why we can’t run more press coverage when our DBs were some of the slowest in the conference? It just literally makes no sense why we couldn’t press and cover.

Yeah just browsing their schedules, they are awful.

Only big opponent for either is their in-state big brother...and Washington could easily be mehdiocre.

Oregon State has the best chance. They ended the season ranked last year I believe. They're going to host Oregon. If they can upset or keep it close then win out they might be highest ranked final conf champ. They'll also have to beat Cal and Purdue.

So Missouri is not expected to take a step back this year?

The whining about a Boise State or Tulane getting in will be epic. The group of 5 deserves a team to be able to compete for title. Individuals will scream 12 best teams.

Wish they'd take a step off a cliff

Or just leave.

Take the Aggies with you.
