Reggie Bush is a comp.When I first heard about McCaffrey I figured he must be running up yards against the poorer Pac 12 teams and San Jose State. After all, he's an average looking (albeit good looking) white guy. How good could he be? I don't know, Crazylegs Hirsch, Lance Alworth, Hugh McHelhenny, who are his comps? Edelman with (a lot) more speed?
OK, but I was looking for a white guy comp.Reggie Bush is a comp.
Dress code?So the Stanford ban was booed ruthlessly by the Iowa fans
They kind of bring that on themselvesSo the Stanford ban was booed ruthlessly by the Iowa fans
Cow tipping, drunk cow, corn maze, Stanford tree chasing cow, sad cowboy. Farmers only jingle. (According to twitter)Dress code?
Some teams have over 100 players, so a guy on defense and a guy on offense might have the same number. If they are on the field at the same time it's a penalty.Re Ukropina and his changing numbers, when Marshawn Lynch was at Cal, he was #10, and they had another number 10. From the stands, you couldn't tell one from the other. Why do they do that?
I didn't know teams could exceed 100 players. That's dressed, I assume (or there wouldn't be a problem).whoooosh

Yeah, 83 (I think) scholarships, but walk-ons increase the roster. Nebraska used to have dozens of walk-ons, according to wiki they had 141 players on their roster for the 96 Fiesta bowl, so almost 60 walk-ons. Most never play but it's a big tradition for some schoolsI didn't know teams could exceed 100 players. That's dressed, I assume (or there wouldn't be a problem).
IMO, it's a big mistake to have the semi final games on New Years Eve; understood it's based somewhat on bowl game rotations, but I heard today the New Years Eve scenario is locked in till 2025? People have plans on New Years Eve, whether it's dinner, house parties, nightclubs/concerts, all this does is water down the ratings. Not to mention, like you said, the New Years day games are now totally meaningless.some of you upthread wanted Iowa instead of MSU?? This team is a joke.
The ratings from yesterday are down 33% or more from last year's semi's, significantly worse than what was expected. The games today will be down even more, I suspect, because there is no lead-in with the semi-final games and there is a realization that none of these games matter at all. Plus, none have been even remotely interesting. Nice job by ESPN.
here's the thing, is there a better job than Stanford? Don't have to deal with idiot recruiting, get paid a ton, live in a nice place, and entree to the NFL if wanted. don't have to deal with the idiot boosters at Texas, etcGames like this make me dream of Texas luring Shaw after they fire Strong next season.
I agree entirely, that is why it's a dream.here's the thing, is there a better job than Stanford? Don't have to deal with idiot recruiting, get paid a ton, live in a nice place, and entree to the NFL if wanted. don't have to deal with the idiot boosters at Texas, etc
Don't get the recruiting part.here's the thing, is there a better job than Stanford? Don't have to deal with idiot recruiting, get paid a ton, live in a nice place, and entree to the NFL if wanted. don't have to deal with the idiot boosters at Texas, etc
Stanford is going to attract a lot less knuckleheads or "bad seeds" than most of the big time programs. Show isn't going and taking kids with bad grades, criminal records, etc. Smart kids that are good players automatically have Stanford on their lists, the school recruits itself but at a different level.Don't get the recruiting part.
I was there. It was pretty PG compared to past shows. I think the on field performance at that point had more to do with the response.Cow tipping, drunk cow, corn maze, Stanford tree chasing cow, sad cowboy. Farmers only jingle. (According to twitter)
It's historically been a horrible job. You can't recruit against U$C or Oregon, and you can't get paid as much as you could at any other D1 school.here's the thing, is there a better job than Stanford?

and the thing is, they put a lot of guys into the pros, so its not like they are going after 3 star or less guys only.
