Maximum cope

Now I know who started the Qspiricies. Do they even have any tin-foil left in Alabama?

Edit: I love our fans on Twitter.

You can't make this level of retardation up.

It's a Tennessee fan posting it. Outstanding satire, really.

Every year it feels like Ohio State plays one big game to start the year, and then you don’t even think about them again until the Michigan game.

So here we are. It is Wednesday. Hump Day, as they say. No game thread in sight for Saturday's "game" against UTM. Do I need to take matters into my own hands?

 

[UTMVol76]

Ha! Finally it's someone else who missed the joke.

I had to shave my beard (gladfully) for this win. It's equivalent to Samson and such. I'll be back soon.

Re-watching the game and Henry T was doing a ton of talking after tackles and plays. He was chirping a lot which is why I love our OL chirping at him after the TD and Fant saying "its just business"

They must be reading VN. I made a joke a few days ago about using NIL to pay bounties.

It will be their Superbowl. They will try to ugly it up. Play keep away. Gotta be looking at Levis's ability to run. Just glad it is at home.

 

[Girth Brooks]

Kentucky should watch tape of what we did to LSU’s Daniels, and then revisit this stat. We are going to feast on Levis.

 

[Pridedad]

Gotta love the FF!!!
Here is their current thread topic!

Overconfidence - We are 3 last second plays away from being 3-3

I don't believe you actually shaved your beard. No proof was ever proffered.

Got my shirt for the Kentucky game, depending on the weather I might have to wear it outside my winter coat.

 

[Glitch]

Did we run the speed option look earlier in the year to set teams up for the shovel pass?

Not...

Little different. Atlanta needed a QB so they signed one. Yes he’s 28 but they didn’t use a 1st round pick to get him. The reason some scouts mention the age thing is because some teams are sketched out about using a 1st round draft pick on a potential franchise QB that’s a little older. Idk ages in front of me but I’d guess that elite 1st round QBs are usually closer to the 20-22 range and have a decade plus of potential playing time as a franchise QB. A decade would put Hooker at 35 years old. Not many starting franchise QBs at 35 or older in the NFL. He’s already close to the same age with no NFL experience as Tua, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, etc. And those guys took a few years (Tua still ain’t there) to get to where they are now. Josh Allen straight up SUCKED for two years before he blossomed.

I think it’s a bit overblown because if you are sure he’s an elite talent and you can get close to a decade with him, I’d pull that trigger without question, but I’m no NFL GM.

True...but a rookie you draft would be cheaper than what Atlanta had to pay Marcus even as a FA. The way the NFL player's union is set up it's more cost effective to draft and hit than it is shop FA, at least from a money standpoint. It's why Seattle hitting on Wilson allowed them to be as good as they were since he was such a low draft pick and was so cheap, they could invest more in their defense and OL and be a better overall team.

The majority of QBs (as of 2018 data) are drafted aged 22-23 (out of the 48 QBs in the report 36 were this age, with 7 being older and only 5 being younger). But typically the most successful QBs are based on college experience (more is better) and less about age.

Tua left early but had played 32 games in college already. Lamar Jackson left but played a total of 38 games in college.


Hooker has played 40 games so far, so despite being in college as long as he has there isn't that much more wear on him than those guys who left after just 3 seasons. He'll end up finishing his collegiate career with no more than 49 games played.
