Couldn’t find a better place to put this. Has a great graphic to show transfers. 
 
The transfer portal in college football hasn’t merely led to unprecedented player movement. It’s also created a de facto farm system for the biggest programs.

This the kinda dude who would risk every cervical vertebrae in his body for half a yard more on 1st and 5, better protect his ass in practice. 

I can’t tell if that’s a good thing or a bad thing in this context.

He's a sixth-year senior so it's safe to assume he's all business. He's here to get 20 carries, bust his ass on special teams, and get in front of a lot of NFL personnel at pro day. I like the pick up a lot given the current make up of our RB room.

Yep - ifany of those snaps are meaningful we are probably in trouble.  Seems likely stricly garbage time carries splitting with walk-ons (or the series before we get to walk-ons, trying to run clock with a 3+TD lead).  Clearly something we needed so good addition.  Agreed would rather those snaps go to this guy compared to other scholarship backups that might be needed at their actual position.

plus practice squad reps to give our D a better back to go against in addition to what you mentioned.  Blue, Wisner, Gibson, Davis, another athlete will likely all get meaningful carries first, but doesnt hurt to have this guy in the mix.

...Surly's fascination with an average RB when the starting two have gone down with injury is, well, Surly logical.

hence the staff brings in 4th string grad transfer from SMU

Red fucking sucked. People's fascination with Red being adequate as a RB is on par with Major Applewhite was a better QB than Chris Simms. 

He can't even start at at Nevada, but people wring their hands over him not being here. Stahp.

He had a cool name and “Red Cat” package had a nice ring to it. That’s about it.

His 1 TD run was magical tho

The Co-op needs to order a statue of this motherfucker from China and mount it in their back parking lot. That way, all of the fucking idiots who think this angry ball of goo did anything of consequence while on campus can have a place to worship and leave gifts of remembrance.

Angry Ball of Goo is probably too long, but Ball of Goo is not at all bad as a band name. Is Rick Beato still producing anything other than Top Twenty Whatever lists?
