Then there is that criminally under-ranked DE recruit from around 1981 who only ended up as one of if not THE best player we ever had and went on to be the all-time NFL sack leader...
LOL this one is cool too!
This is already our best recruiting and portal class in forever. I think its safe to say he has proven he can. I remember reading from few people on here that his ability to pull from portal was in question. not anymore, answered.
Tall, big frame, good footwork, doesn't get jammed up st the line, uses their hands well, understands what to do when the pocket closes and the QB escapes ...
Name reminds me of Exodor from Mork and Mindy lol
Bama is an ESPN team, Miami too, ND isnt.
How does one get recruited as either a WR or an Edge Rusher?
Three defensive plays plus tackling the fake punt for every Hokie touchdown, silly.
I feel like I could buy into your theory more if the team that Alabama kept out wasn't Notre Dame.
Letterkenny
The issue people have is it would never be that way, we got the gator bowl in 2000 because ND need to be blown out by Oregon, or Oregon state I dont remember which one. We would be upset because this always happens to VT and never Bama, or an OSU, or ND. Bama got a pass because they are Bama, and they bring in more money for ESPN than probably anyone else (maybe texas). Its not about making a fair system its about the system isnt fair and never has been and never will be.
Based on PSU's site, he played in the last four November games and the bowl game against Clemson.
Me to. Whats it from?...
Yeah, that was more of an agreement type of post where I'm still trying to work out my thoughts.
I don't necessarily like that Alabama was in the CFP, especially after losing the SEC championship, but I don't have a good argument against them, based on how the rest of the season played out.
I have been liking your takes.
Ben Roethlisberger was Miami OH.
Byron Leftwich was Marshall.
We also played against Jake Delhomme once (I can't remember if he was at UL Lafayette or Monroe).
Fun fact: if you look at recruiting rankings all the way back to 1980, we actually had a 5* DT signee back in 1997.
Tyrone Robertson, out of GW Danville was comfortably one of the top 32 signees that season for the Hokies.
As you stipulated, he wasn't a very memorable player for us. He Prepped the 97 season at FUMA, then signed with UGA in 98 where he played out his college ball.
Flamed out after his rookie season in the NFL.
I think he opens up the floor big time for the rest of the offense. Good news
We really really needed him back
Let's hope Johnson is back soon as well
Duke does not equal Georgia. Those are two very different losses. Yes it should matter that they beat them in October, just like it matters that Miami beat ND in August. So if UGA had lost to Bama in the SECCG, would you argue for them to be left out of the playoffs? They would've lost to Bama twice. How would you argue putting Ole Miss into the field over UGA considering UGA beat them? Would you bump Texas up ahead of UGA even though UGA beat Texas?
UGA lost to Ole Miss in the playoffs which is different than a conference championship game. Look, I actually do think conference championship games should be elimination games as the de facto first round of the playoffs, but that can only work if the conferences go back down to 8-10 teams.
One of the best college football games I've seen all season.
Without rivalries, it's unlikely sports in general are as popular as they are today. There are good traditions and bad traditions in all walks of life. The old bowl postseason was a bad tradition, which is why no other sport does it. Rivalries are a good tradition, which is why across all sports, rivalries are often the most watched. Ohio St-Michigan, The Iron Bowl, The Egg Bowl, UNC-Duke, Yankees-Red Sox, Steelers-Ravens, Leafs-Habs, Caps-Penguins, Celtics-Lakers, Dodgers-Giants, Bears-Packers always do numbers even if the teams are mismatched. Darby days in European soccer are the focal point of domestic seasons. El Clasico is the most watched soccer match every year, in October it was watched by 650 million people.
If college football doesn't preserve rivalries, it will die. College football replacing bowls with a playoff, like every other subset of college football already has, will likely increase the sports popularity. 3 of the 4 quarterfinal games had higher viewership than the NCAA Mens Basketball Championship Game, most of the World Series games, and Game 7 of the NBA Finals!
Was one game the bowl game? Post season doesn't count. Also, eligibility is vibes-based at this point.
I feel like we're on the same page here
The blue chip ratio is a metric on who has a chance to win a national championship, and title teams are still coming from programs that prioritize elite high school recruiting, develop and retain most of that talent and fill gaps with the portal. The blue chip ratio will never include transfers nor in my opinion should it
