yeah, it's so dumb. A physical run based offense is probably going to cause more injuries than a hurry-up spread. Muschamp was a shining example of this. We had a ton of injuries here, and we were one of the slowest paced teams in the country.

Zetttel was much better than Hack last year.

I'm amazed Corey Clement isn't on that list. Kid is a monster. Not as good as Gordon (nobody is though) but still a beast of a back.
Clement should have gone over Hackenberg, but Sparty and OSU got 10/15 and other than Hack, I don't see how Clement could get over those other ones.

I'd put him in over Decker, Bell, and Allen.
I don't even know why Decker is on there TBH. He's a long tenured starter but he's not particularly exceptional.

Oddly-shaped "round ball" sport they play in winters between the bowls and the spring games.
We don't play that in NJ. No place to play.

On the bright side, at least you no longer have the Nets.

It's a little more complex than that. See, the Big 12 is also adding Incarnate Word, and University of Alaska-Anchorage (because it makes sense geographically). We will have 14 teams, but will opt out of our CCG.
New York basketball is an abyss right now :/. I think they're all of the Uconn bandwagon and are now on to Kentucky.
Our president is actually getting lit up by a state senator and former gov about how poor our basketball facilities our, so there's some hope here, and our hof wbb coach just went off on how bad our facilities are, but ... not going to bother posting in the BB thread, because it's all tourney time.

Don't expect a response. No one has posted in this thread in 3 days, and mre is too busy filming Little Ceasers commercials.
Do you have a big nose tackle?

He's done gone Hollywood.
After seeing what goes on in the NFL thread during the offseason, I've decided to count the fact that nobody posts in here for days at a time around this time of year as a good thing.
There just isn't much to say yet. Teams are having spring practice but that typically includes things saying how they didn't have great senior leadership last year, but it's so much better this year. Or, strength and conditioning was so much better in the offseason, we're ready to go. You can't really tell how anything is going to work out until actual games are played. Spring games don't help much either because if the defense shuts out the offense then the offense really needs improvement, and vice versa.
I'm going to spam anime pics and just say gata gata gata in all my posts from now on.
There are plenty of slow days over there as well ((lull between initial free agency flurry and the draft) but that is certainly not stopping people from posting...other things in that thread.
We have a dude that sat out last year (or didn't play much) who came in at 360 lbs. Supposedly he's down to a better weight and "in the best shape of his life" (as everyone is a few weeks before spring practice).
mre = Boss Hog
I'd rather have this thread be dead forever.
Yeah I opened it and had no idea what was going on. Then again, every community thread has it's own weird quirks. I thought CFBGAF had a ton of in jokes when I first started posting years ago.
Ah yes, the ole "He's cut a lot of baby fat this offseason" and "best shape of his life" lines.
Our in-jokes are mostly related to football though
Only some of the NFL thread's are.
We'll see soon I guess, spring practice for us starts in a week!
Thanks, man. Finally got a boy so we can quit.

True, most of ours are related to football.
And here I thought UGA started spring practice late, they started last week.

Congrats!
Looks like we just scheduled a home-and-home with Arizona for the 2019 (Tucson) and 2020 (Lubbock) seasons.
Oddly enough, Arizona is #10 on the list of teams that Tech has played the most in its history. They were in the same conference from 1932 - 1956 and later played each other every year of the '70s except for 1970 itself. The only teams we have played more than them are 7 teams from the old Southwest Conference (6 Texas schools + Arkansas), New Mexico (also Border conference), and Oklahoma State.

My fav NFL injoke is the jihad between YH and Dragon over Microsoft/Sony.
Thanks, man. Finally got a boy so we can quit.
So did you name him Bear?
Grats!
Which anime seres is most like Penn State?
Dragon is permed, so that is over I think
Eh, you know it was going to happen. Oh well, I'll just await his army of alts just like we had for Lunchbox.
I totally did.
Totally.
Thanks all for the well wishes. I'll put up a picture, soon.

As a small town Babby lawyer, I do declare that quiting after 5 chilldren is perfectly legal.
I did help in his insomnia, by bugging him on FFXIV for the last few weeks. What better mindless activity to do while you have to be up forever, than a timesink like an mmo.

So the NCAA is finally being forced to release documents because of the McNair lawsuit (USC).
http://www.latimes.com/sports/sport...mcnair-documents-released-20150324-story.html
Tons of proof that the NCAA was trying to stick it to USC.
:jnc How did things go at Miami after all?
Yes, that's right. The NCAA compared the Reggie Bush situation to THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING.
