    Andre Woolfolk

     
     

    The talent is a little thin at #17, but that shouldn’t take away from an extremely talented player in Woolfolk.  Woolfolk was a talented receiver his first three seasons at Oklahoma, amassing 59 receptions for 877 yards.  Being the consummate team player, Woolfolk was asked to move to defense his senior year. Woolfolk moved to defensive back and excelled at that position as well

     

    Oh JFC.

    Losing Nebraska: Matt Rhule identifies Nebraska's losing problem

    The Cornhuskers are seeking to halt the program's one-score skids

    That motherfucker is going to have them winning again. I simultaneously respect it and despise it. I’d love to see a home and home with them in the future. I don’t think they have the heart or the cajones for it, but it would be fun. 

    I listened to Adam Carriker on XM 84 earlier this week talking with some hosts about Nebraska and their outlook this year. One side tangent they got on was old rivalries and such. He said that “I know I’ll catch hell for saying it here in Nebraska, but I miss playing Texas and I think most players would agree” and even the hosts were shocked.

  3. The pollsters have particularly lazy and uncreative this year. I'm guessing the realignment has created some level of uncertainty, so voters just gravitate towards big brands. Unless you're Washington, then you can fuck off. 

    There are several schools that should absolutely be ranked and aren't:

    Auburn - everyone hates the QB and remembers the NMSU loss to a level that merits them hardly getting any votes? They had one of the worst WR corps in the country last year. Freeze has recruited well and stocked well from the portal. Irrespective of his issues, the guy can fucking coach. This is year 2. They have Bama and Georgia, but the schedule is otherwise either favorable or manageable depending upon your view of the SEC as a conference this year. ULM, Vandy, Alabama A&M, New Mexico - that's 4 automatic wins (NMSU jokes aside). They can and should beat Cal, Arkansas and ATM at home. Between OU, @Mizzou, @ Kentucky, you don't have to squint too hard to get to 8-4/9-3, which would either be well inside the top 25.

    Memphis - they return basically their entire offense and 6 of their starting front 7. They catch FSU at a good time and otherwise should have 10 or 11 wins. They could be 12-0 with the right breaks.

    Boise State - Outside of a road game to Oregon, their schedule is favorable, they have a ton back, and the new regime allegedly knows what they're doing well enough for everyone to be excited.

    Virginia Tech - This one actually baffles me. They have a standout QB, a soft non-con, avoid FSU, UNC, SMU, ND, NC State, and Louisville in conference. They return 20 of 22 starters on the two deep. That's a team that should be solidly in anyone's top 25. 

    Other thoughts:

    -Georgia Tech returns a bunch from a solid team and they don't even get a single vote. 

    -Utah basically has like 2 games on their schedule that present a challenge. They're an old team that is tough and talented. They should be well inside the top 10.

    -FSU is a lazy, lazy pick. They lost a ton of talent, the QB has been a fucking joke his whole career, and their schedule is brutal. I don't expect them to be ranked by season's end.

    -ATM is an even lazier pick. They lost way more talent to the portal than they gained, they're razor thin with depth across the board and they have a ton of unknowns with a new regime. Everyone is giving those idiots the benefit of the doubt with a turnaround for no actual, discernible reason. Because of the 247 transfer rankings? Liucci blowing harder than ever? That The Elk is talking tough about cultural turnaround? They're staring down the barrel of 6-6.

    -Everything I just said about ATM outside of regime change is applicable to Miami and USC, except both play tougher schedules than ATM. Terrible voting.

    I was listening to Klatt’s podcast. He gets excited about the B12 because Fox broadcasts it and he played for the Buffs. He noted five teams with legit CFP aspirations this year (since the B12 champ is in the CFP with a first round bye): Utah, KSU, OSU, Arizona, Kansas. 
     
    The worst thing for the B12 would be to put two 9-3 teams into the CCG (still in Arlington). In that case, only the winner makes the CFP. The best thing for them would be to match a 9-3 team with an 11-1 team. In that case, the 9-3 team (with everything to play for) beating the 11-1 team (clinches an at large) would be the most foreseeable thing in the world. 
     
    Would be fun to see Utah matched with Arizona in Arlington. The attendance would be hilarious. 

    Even with Utah traveling okay and the corporate tickets being used, I would be surprised if the lower level was fully filled out for that event. Grim. 

  5. Sydir Mitchell, and I swear I find this hard to believe and assume it is being passed around for humor and not an actual truth, struggles to get through team warm-ups and then group warm-up follows before they start actually running drills or plays. It’s like pulling some of you off the couch in your pajamas and forcing you into hard calisthenics in 95 degree weather while wearing a helmet. Same outcome.

    I will be absolutely shocked if he ever coaches again after this season.  I think he did this whole thing to promote his kids and when they are drafted he will be done coaching.  Maybe I am wrong but there is nothing he has done that indicates he is actually building for the future.  I can’t think of a more self serving coach in the history of college football. 
    I hope he proves me wrong it’s cool that Colorado is actually relevant again.

    You make a great point about CU being relevant again. Colorado should never be down the way they’ve been, for as long as they have been. 

    They have a beautiful campus, a quality brand, okay academic rep, and they’re located in one of the better spots on the map. Colorado the state doesn’t have a ton of talent, but the greater Denver area produces some quality. Then, CU should be pulling plenty from Texas, California, Arizona, KC, STL, and the Pacific northwest. McCartney and then Neuheisel knew this and did this. It’s absurd that they turned most of those spigots off.

    Texas is likely to have the best season among those four teams.

    Best team? Sure. Best season? Have you seen the hammered dogshit that is Notre Dame’s schedule? Depending on how FSU and USC look with new QBs, there’s a fair chance A&M is the best team they play…and it’s one of only three true road games (first and last with only one road game in between).

    https://fightingirish.com/sports/football/schedule/

    Yeah, I agree about best team versus best season. I still think Texas could do both, but this second post on ND sums up what I’ve been writing about for months as well. 

    I was kind of shocked to hear one of the legit reporters/insiders for ND on XM 84 this week speaking candidly and with eyes wide open about this season. He said that the schedule is unforgiving, but not in the way you’d think  - it’s transparently light barring some surprise teams. As a result, if they lose two games, they do not think they’re getting the old Notre Dame benefit of the doubt. He said they (staff, admin, people around the program, Freeman) have looked at other teams’ schedules and feel like there are going to be too many 9-3/10-2 teams from the P4s with better resumes. 

    You just never hear that kind of stuff in public unless a program knows that they’d look like idiots to position it any other way. With all of that considered, the dude was answering the question of “most important game on your schedule” and he concluded that they all know, without a doubt, that they have to win the game in College Station. 

    As much as I enjoy despising Notre Dame, I respect their outlook and felt assured that they’re not walking into aggieland feeling entitled.

    What is this “streaming” you speak of? 

    If you splice the electric cord to your microwave oven and connect one piece to the tv and the other to the big antennae outside the screen door of mobile home, you should be able to pick up signals from all over the world.

    If you can find a channel with green acres on will you please pm me that? Always loved that show growing up and need to catch up on old episodes. Thank you 

    I’m sure you know that you can find Arnold and the gang streaming somewhere.

    After stints in jail for spousal abuse and non payment of child support, Sims turned his life around by leaning into full Okey-ness. The Oklahoma economy used to be like a stool with three legs- methamphetamine production, Indian casinos, and stealing copper wire. Recently, the state added a new major economic pursuit- selling legal cannabis products. Anyway, Sims got his life back on the straight and narrow by becoming a greeter at an Indian casino. Boomer!

    I find your behavior on this thread and the Left Behind thread to be some of the funniest shit on this board. 

    On this thread, the sooners mostly read your shit, take a long drag off of their almost dead cigarette, breathe it all in and then basically look at you and say, “well, yeah, sure, but fuck it, we won a lot” and then go back to watching their black and white tv with a rerun of Green Acres airing. 

    On the Left Behind thread, you post the same bits over and over but through the span of breaks lasting for weeks or longer. It’s just enough time for the shriekers to have calmed down so they then start pulling their hair out again while furiously typing out the same rebuttals.

    LOL.  OK, you’re right.  I’ll feel bad about boats n hoes…one day… I promise.  But tomorrow is the airshow so that will have to wait.  
    Anyways, stop being poor…or cheap.  Get some flair, bro.  Or go fight in a Love’s parking lot.  Whatever makes your weirdo ass happy. 😂 

    I’ve gotten into a few fistfights in truck stop parking lots. None recently. Truckers aren’t very tough, provided you’re actually facing them. Dark times growing up.
