Muscle hamster 2.0?

Jojo made the reference during summer. Then PFF Trevor did the same thing. Brugler recently said Tomlinson. He's good but he's some combo of past RBs that I can't nail down yet.

I miss the muscle hamster just for the name lol

I don't. He was painful for fantasy.

I think I figured out who he really reminds me of most. This is DeAngelo Williams but better.

Loved that guy.

Ohhhhhh. Yeah I liked that guy at Memphis.

Also Jalen Royals is interesting, didn't think much when Connor Rogers had him in his preseason top 10 WRs.

Such a bad hit by the Tennesse DT. They should punish those hits to the knees much harsher, like they do with hits to the head.

Love that read by the Cal DB on 4 and 2. He decided even if it isnt play action and is a run, he's gonna let the rest of the D deal with that. With how Miami was running you'll see a lot of college guys not commit to coverage to see if it's a run and they're needed, and it gives the offense just enough space.

Cal is making this interesting, immediate TD to capitalize

Five of the top 11 lose today, with a sixth heading that way. What a weekend.

Okay, only five... Oof, Cal...

Miami got the Buffalo Wild Wings refs on their side the last two weeks.

Clark Lea is going to get abigger job just from this game, but he's been impressive in his approach at Vandy.


Bama at their best is maybe the best team in the country. I know we're talking about extremes here, but imo, this is what sets the SEC apart from other conferences. It's a really physical league and there are few easy outs on the schedule.

DeBoer went 6-1 in ranked matchups last year at Washington. Michigan was their only loss in those games.

Since he’s become head coach at Washington I think he’s got the best record in ranked matchups amongst all coaches. He doesn’t really lose much in those games.

So it kind of overshadows things but they went down to the wire last year with Arizona State & Washington State who weren’t good teams.

So there were/are signs there of his teams playing down to the competition.

I still think he’s a really good coach but this is new territory for Alabama fans after the Saban era.

Looking at the schedule Penn State vs Ohio State at Happy Valley on November 2nd could be #1 vs #2.

Right now it's #1 Texas, #2 Ohio State, #3 Oregon, #4 Penn State, #5 Georgia (1 loss).

Texas plays Georgia in 2 weeks. Ohio State is on the road against Oregon this week. Penn State has away games at USC and Wisconsin before the Ohio State game.

He was good again against UCLA this past weekend despite not having a sack. As was DDS too.

This kid is legit, was a late senior riser from Minnesota. Ohio State was trying to flip him.

Why not take add college football to the portfolio of once good/great things Disney could ruin.

I have a crazy idea, but it just might work. What if the 70 team league is spilt up by geographic location, maybe like 8 of them. Then we have the teams in each geographic location all play each other during the season and the best team from each one of them goes to a playoff. Like we could do the four East teams on one side and the 4 West teams on the other and the winner of each side plays for the National Championship.

I'm just spitballing here.

They’ll get there eventually when the Big Ten & SEC gobble up the remaining brands they deem valuable where it will probably help out balancing the schedule more.

The issue is like most issues in college football where it’s half assed & delaying the inevitable creating other issues. It is what it is & I know traditionalists don’t like it but there’s really no going back now. College football is different than most other college sports & frankly it’s been operating like a glorified pro league for some time now but not everybody involved has been a been a benefactor of that.

College football has been bought & sold along time ago at this point. Big business has owned this sport for a long time now. So why keep pretending otherwise? Revenue sharing for the players is inevitable as is super conferences with pro like schedules because ESPN & Fox pretty much control the SEC & Big Ten respectively anyway.
