College Football 2017 Offseason: We're Not a Football School Anyway

As far as the thread subtitle goes. I think Arizona State is now a hockey school. We suck at hockey, but we suck at everything else and there's only like 50 hockey schools so we have a shot!

How pervasive do you guys think cheating is in CFB?

Think there are levels of cheating. Cheating goes on at all schools at a certain level, but when a school starts to cross that, particularly if you're not a blue blood, then other schools turn on you. Like Ole Miss. The cheating there got up to a really high level, and was also contrasted with Freeze defiantly insisting that things were completely on the up and up.

Don't get uppity and things will be cool.

Turns out, Bill Snyder is a dick.

Kansas State wide receiver Corey Sutton is looking to transfer away from the Wildcats’ football program, but according to him, his scholarship release is not being granted. Earlier this month, Sutton announced his intentions to transfer from Kansas State after one season via his Twitter account. But according to The Wichita Eagle, K-State head coach Bill Snyder apparently isn’t granting his scholarship release. Sutton gave the school a list of 35 schools, all of which were denied for him to transfer to.

Apparently it came from the team by team preview that he's doing.

He thinks Notre Dame will have a big rebound year this year, also. They underachieved by 3-4 wins last year, and the last time a 4-8 team underachieved that badly it was TCU and they had 1 loss the next year. Bleh.

Good news is that Oregon's defense wasn't really much, if any better than Cal's.

Malik Zaire to Florida is officially happening. Now we need to figure out how big of a deal this is. He hasn't actually played much. If nothing else, this gives them depth and a guy that reportedly has good energy and leadership skills.

In classic Florida QB fashion, I expect he and Franks to split reps and to both be ineffective due to constant interchanging in games.

I'm reserving judgement, but I weirdly have faith that Jim will make it work, whoever he goes with.

Only thing I like about this is that it fuels more competition.

I still expect Franks to be the leader in the room. Zaire is too erratic for me.

Franks is the future there now. Zaire maybe you could get a year out of, but yeah the competition should make Franks better.

Maybe I'm just too focused on Will Grier. He was humming, and then he got canned for the PED thing.

I thought whoever the starter last year was was doing ok until he got hurt, but maybe I'm misremembering.

They're probably going to have awful QB play and still either win the east or almost win it. Think it won't look pretty but McElwain cobbles together barely enough offense to field a competitive team.

I honestly have a good feeling about this year, offensively.

Oline is experienced.

Receivers are talented and are overall experienced.

We have a great group of backs.

Franks isn't experienced but has spent (by gameday) a year and half learning the playbook.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Golden Domers are chickenshit!!
Why are we even playing the season? Future Heisman winner Jalen Hurts is going to dominate the whole god-damned world. Bunch of assholes making these kids play out the season to its inevitable conclusion, and risking a whole bunch of injuries.

Soon.

Seriously, he develop more of a consistent passing game, our right guard situation get figured out, and we find us another corner (I still think Trevone could be the guy and be completely fine, getting your first live action speed against Calvin and Robert Foster is gonna be rough), I'm a have all the hype.

Until we run into Stidham and Auburn and that world-beating offense
lol
