It really doesn't have to be top tier. With even a middling defense they could've at least made the CFP finals for the last two years. The offense was good enough. Unfortunately, the Sooners had absolutely turrible defense.
Austin Kendall started a game this season. Trevor Knight before that and also Cody Thomas (who coincidentally is a pro baseball player now). Before that there was Blake Bell, Landry Jones, Sam Bradford. Murray and Mayfield are the only two transfer starters I can remember.
He should read this piece about Jeff Samardzija, former 2-sport star from Notre Dame. So much more upside to MLB: guaranteed contracts, easier on the body, players' union, pension etc all way better than NFL. His earning power will be far greater in baseball over the long run. Sure he might have...
Sure but it's more to the point that OU is a more advanced QB-development environment than either Miami or Maryland. Hard to argue with results, which is probably the very reason he chose Bama in the first place.
Looks like locals are scooping up the remaining tickets. Under 200 seats left on the re-sellers. NCG Prices have now exceeded the Air Supply threshold.
It's not that bad. Most fans should already be in their seats by the time traffic gets too thick. There is light rail directly to the stadium if you don't want to drive. Phoenix was the worst for NCG IMO. Hard to get a flight in or out compared to the 3 major Bay Area airports. Bay Area has...
Yeah but those sites like ND or Gainesville just don't have the hotels for a NCG. There's a reason they are always in cities with big tourism business...to make it easier for fans to get & stay there. A couple years ago when it was in Phoenix it was really hard to get flights due to the smaller...
Last year's game tickets were so expensive. This year it's the flight that'll get you. All said & done it'd cost you about the same in ATL or Bay Area. There were round-trip flights from BHM for under $600 just a few days ago. Fans could've actually done this trip for cheaper than an ATL NCG if...
Nope. I use Skiplagged all the time. It's the total price. You could select a higher priced return flight if you wanted, but they list the lowest possible total.
You could get a ticket right now for non-stop BHM-SJC for $703. Tickets to the game are starting at $113, lower bowl for $185. There are affordable hotels all over the Bay Area, including places like Marin County or Santa Cruz within an hour's drive. This is a pretty reasonable trip compared...
