[drvenner]

Paul Finebaum walked into a bar last night. Bartender said, "Hey Paul, wanna hear a joke?" Paul said, "Sure. I'm all ears."

I am heron what you are saying.

Some WSU Cougar fans are gonna get a slap in the mouth when they get a good taste of "Game-Day Guarantano". . . it's kinda surprising that his bad performances are seemingly overlooked. Truth is, I hope he gets it right and has a great year, but it seems like he's still making the same bad decisions with the same bad habits.

Those poor fans must not watch college football.

Just change some names around in that quote, and that’s basically what we would write before every season. I do not miss Jarrett Gaurantano.

Tennessee softball coach fights COVID-19

Many of y’all in the Knox area may have seen this on the news. This is close family, Johnathan is a awesome man and father to two young kids. He was hospitalized with covid pneumonia fighting for his life at 30 years old. He has seen some slow improvements over the last couple of days. God willing with continued prayer he makes it through this. But the family will have an enormous medical burden. He’s a VFL in need and just wanted to share to VN.

Team Jonathan, organized by Kelley Griffith

I thought the. Gov was paying for all covid related medical bills? Am I not remembering correctly?

Not surprising…. Kentucky had a ton of takeaways last season.

I just don't get the logic of this. Great WRs makes a QB look good, but they're not great WRs because they had a great QB throwing to them? I watched a few of those HS games. AG dropped a lot of really good passes. Have AG, RW, and RK made QBs look great during college yet? Maybe they helped each other and will succeed in college if they pair up with other great players.

Used to be you didn't want a freshman starting the first year and not the next year if you didn't have to. HB has time to develop.

Amen! There was a sports radio host here in DFW who hated Peyton since college. Whenever Peyton conducted one of his masterpieces, this guy would pump up how great Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James, Dallas Clark was etc. His co-host was a Manning admirer and seemingly fed him material. After the Colts won the SB, he toned it down somewhat but not without mentioning that Dominic Rhodes should be the MVP.

 

[Dooby15]

Stared it down beautifully.

I think Milton is what he is, he’s going to overthrow some guys, but I feel this offensive staff knows how to marginalize that risk with play calling and moving him around.

You've identified what the issue probably is based on his Michigan experience and possibly what is happening in camp per VQ and other reports. The question remains, will the lights come on to refrain from making similar mistakes he made at Michigan that cost him the starting QB spot - regardless of the VN RF spin that it was everybody else's fault, injury to his non-throwing hand, bad scheme/play calling, etc.

The problem with marginalizing (minimizing) risk is the playbook shrinks and removes tools from the belt. It even changes personnel groupings. The opponents figure out what you are doing relatively quickly. Being able to run is an added value, but it will not be enough to win games against quality opponents. Dobbs was as good as it gets with that and it resulted in 8 regular season wins per year. What wins big is good decision-making along with timely/accurate throws from your QB.

I sincerely hope Milton has taken that big step forward because his size and athleticism would add major value to the O's performance. I guess we will soon know when we see him in game action.

Never thought I would see the words JG and being the SAFE choice together. lol

Nobody should give up on HB and I hope he becomes the absolute best that his talent allows him to become…. That being said…… no one should look at a players High School stats and use it to determine the type of player he will be in college…. It’s two entirely different games played at two entirely different speeds.

And yet the high school records of the receivers are being used to prove he wasn't good in high school because they were so good in high school. The receiver's college record is not being used in their argument because none of them are making any college QBs look good in an entirely different game at an entirely different speed.....yet. So basically HB's high school record is being used to prove he was not good in high school so he can't be good in college.

Uh oh, looks like @Ulysees E. McGill got out again

[Weezer]

Kid could throw a pretty ball, unfortunately, it was often to the other team.

 

[NMVol]

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Absolutely. My hair isn't that long

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

But he gave us the best chance to win...

 

[reVOLution33]

You’re reaching.

What about Charley High….. he threw for 5,100 yards and 59 touchdowns his senior year. I just don’t think you can take much from high school stats bc there are so many variables involved.

Yes!!! Give me ALL the "bench warmers!"
