-js- Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 @wvu80 I agree re your pre-season comment. unless you follow the computer based rankings - and I don't, so I can't tell you for sure their names, but Sagarin & others like that come to mind. but for D 1 playoff rankings, I don't think computers come into play until the 1st playoff ranking comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 By the Browns. There's the rub. Remember, SMU had DickerJames running behind that line. Both were drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many players on the Browns were good enough to be drafted? Apparently you just don't get it. Most folk in Alabama just don't give a schit about pro sports.

Some came from other teams plus the ones they did draft were good enough to be drafted by the rest of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 First, Undergrad/Masters from Ohio State and have/had many close ties to those connected to the University Athletic Dept. I know TONS of supporters both graduate's, fan's and those in the media. I shot ALL sports there for 28 years as my form of stress relief from work. Stressful job + the stress of getting the right photo = relaxation??? It worked for me. Papers and Magazines for the most part. So yea, I heard about Jerry Sandusky and JoPa knowing 10 years before it broke. So I'll say this on the record. There's not an NCAA school in the country that is righteous whether it's Podunk U. Ohio State, Texas, Bama, Clemson or UofM. This was my fb statement on 1Aug and I'll just leave it right here: BREAKING NEWS: I being of "semi-sound" mind REFUSE to discuss ANYthing involving OSU's football program or coaching staff! From this point ON until the on-going investigation is complete. Geez, WHY hash and re-hash things??? Things WILL sort and the sun WILL come up hopefully! Carry on & GO BUCKS!!! 😎 This was my fb statement on 1Aug and I'll just leave it right here: BREAKING NEWS: I being of "semi-sound" mind REFUSE to discuss ANYthing involving OSU's football program or coaching staff! From this point ON until the on-going investigation is complete. Geez, WHY hash and re-hash things??? Things WILL sort and the sun WILL come up hopefully! Carry on & GO BUCKS!!! Haters gonna hate. It's simple, but yea buddy, it's EVERYwhere. Reporters are gonna report and hopefully what they report is factual and true otherwise, it's just Fake News! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 TCU got rid of coach Wacker, and all he did was report=== voluntarily==== violations that occurred before he got there. This was right as he was getting the program on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Football is a guilty pleasure. The damage done to participants is real. I would discourage young people from repeating my mistakes. I enjoyed playing linebacker in high school, as well as wrestling at MSU, but my several concussions and many sub-concussive events should not be experienced by the youth of today. The CTE study at BU can’t wait to slice into my brain. I have to prove to them I’m still using it, so they don’t come get it while I’m 😴. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
