Mike Golic was saying this morning T.O. was better than anyone else in this year's elected class. He mentioned J.T. was not one of the all-time best DL's. I wonder if Mr. Golic realizes JT's 139.5 sacks is good for #7 all-time, ahead of names like Lawrence Taylor and Derrick Thomas?

Maybe, maybe not. He tried to give it to the Falcons but they didn't want it and gifted it back. He was gifted another one previously with the worst play call in football history, resulting in the creation of this thread.

Dre Williams (WR, Florida) finds a home, accepts offer from Terry Bowden, Akron http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/florida-recruiting/blog/os-dre-williams-accepts-offer-terry-bowden-akron-20170202-story.html

Good for TC. Lots of great receivers were former QB's.

Good to know our ABJ beat writer was at the game last night. Oh wait, it was a staff report and the game was on ESPN3. Oh well, at least they reported on it.

I think KD may have threatened them at halftime with riding the bus back to Akron instead of the charter plane if they lost.

The video link is now up, the day of the game....what is "Possible 14-Day Wildcard Selection" ?

The gozips.com schedule doesn't indicate video coverage of this game.

More than VCU and nipping at the heels of Wichita State ?

I wouldn't be surprised to see them make their 3rd straight NCAA tourney appearance.

I don't think the players will be as concerned about fans in the stands and being a BMOC as much as getting to the NFL as quickly and easily as possible. Here is a free article: http://www.bendbulletin.com/sports/4974804-151/will-the-pacific-pro-football-league-pan-out The league would have four teams based in Southern California, both to reduce expenses and because the region has so many young players. The league would have a six-game schedule plus playoffs, and finish before the college season begins. Players would be paid an average of $50,000 in salary and benefits, including workers’ compensation, a 401(k) plan and free community college tuition.

Losing 40 top athletes (especially QB's) per P5 conference would be significant. The NFL seems very serious about a developmental league in order to bolster their product and marketability, I don't know why some are so skeptical about it. It's not meant to be a direct competitor to the NFL as previous pro leagues were.

I would expect the opposite: some of the marquee players who would have gone to the top college programs will go to the D-league instead and get paid. The NCAAF pecking order would remain the same but will be a little more watered down overall with a little more parity between the upper and lower rungs.

In Milwaukee, and the Gators don't like playing in the cold!

What is UD's enrollment? Do we get to include it in UA's total enrollment now? How is the soccer scene in Vietnam?

I agree...it would need to be a G5-only "NIT tournament" so AAC/BYU/BSU/WMU... would still be eligible for both playoffs. But the risk would be that the P5 would use a secondary playoff as an excuse to freeze out any G5 teams from the big playoff per the golden rule (those with the gold...)
