I'm surprised Landon Collins wasn't drafted today.
And hey Texas just had their first player drafted since 2013!

The rap on him is that he can't cover - bad mark to have in today's NFL.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FUCK THE RAIDERS.
RIP in peace to Cooper's career. Pretty happy with the Falcons pick, wish Beasley was better against the run but pass rushers are generally not great at that and they definitely need someone that can pressure the QB.
Zac Stacy requested release from the Rams after they drafted Gurley last night. Can't blame him, though I always thought Stacy was a really underrated back in college, haven't followed him in the pros.
Those uniforms above are awful.
Yeah, this is highly unfortunate.Looks like the whole "let's use mostly black uniforms even though black has never been one of our colors" thing has finally reached the NFL via the '49ers -

Back to back first rounders. Not bad for a D-III program.

UCF really is an up and coming program.
D-III? When did you guys move up a division?

Fun fact of the day!
The '02 and '14 Ohio St. teams are the only 2 CFB national champs this century to have no 1st round draft picks immediately following their NC.

Wow, I was ready to give the safety the benefit of the doubt (and yes the QB is running full steam ahead), but to go low like that ...
It's like that safety watched nothing but tape of Georgia Tech linemen this off-season...

oooo only took Jameis a couple hours in the league for him to get in trouble.

The one Browns fan I know is already counting down the days until Cardale Jones is available. He thinks that kid can save the Browns.
Jameis Winston was the first ever FSU player drafted first overall. I was kind of surprised by that.

Cardale Jones going to Akron?
Quoting myself because apparently Eleven Warriors think that UGA is scared of scheduling tOSU with Urban there. That's hilarious, it's the other way around, though I'm not sure it's that Urban is scared of UGA, I'm assuming it's because he's still butthurt about the end-zone dance years ago.
He'd drop down to FCS, if he had to transfer, there's no reason for him to go sit for a year at Akron.

That's cute. I guess he enjoyed the attention he received when he held a presser at his former HS announcing his return to tOSU, so he decided to pull off another stunt
There's that famous Cardale wit!

Oh wow what a jokester.
Utah AD Chris Hill said he's concerned about the future of Pac-12 Networks, sees projections that B10N will be making $10 for each dollar P12N makes.

Need to add an extra time zone imho.

Rutgers added value to the Big 10 can't be understated. They have the lucrative NYC metro area on lock
It's a long term investment, but having Ohio State/PSU and Michigan playing in the area will makes all their alumni happy here.
I found a better article fwiw's.

Eventually the Pac is probably just going to have partner with ESPN(ABC)/Fox. They just need that distribution muscle.

Seems pretty obvious that the Pac-12 needs to follow the B1G/SEC model and let an actual media company run their network for them.
Let the big boys handle carriage disputes and all the other horseshit that comes with running a cable network.
TPD has dropped all charges against Cyrus Jones. I'm sure Andy will swing by a link, but I'll paraphrase what I read. TPD decided that there was "sufficient evidence" to support his initial arrest on both charges initially leveled against him, but since Jones was the one who called the police and attempted to deescalate the situation, they're dismissing the charges.
Wat.
Wat.
Only thing I'll say is that I wish our police department were as cooperative with the football program.
Guess that's what you get when you try to run your own network and nobody wants to carry it.

Cable/dish companies never want to run any of these new specialized sports networks. That's why the conferences have to partner with Disney/ESPN and Fox in order for any of this to work.
The Pac-12 has no leverage whatsoever when negotiating with these fuckers. Disney can say to Time Warner Cable or DirecTV, "You can't get ESPN and the Disney Channel unless you take the SEC Network." The Pac-12 can't do anything of the sort.
It was incredibly dumb for the Pac-12 to try to go this alone.
IIRC, they have deals with Time Warner and Comcast which are the big boys out there. Direct TV's the only hold out. Packaging would definitely be smarter as they would haven't gotten higher rates if they partnered.
The other real issue is that the West Coast isn't nearly as populated as compared to the SE and NE/MW, and while California is the big whale there's 4 schools driving the population per school down, and that's not including all the states where they have two schools per one rather small population.
Adding Texas would be such a big deal.
