does seem to be a little easier, but if it was as obvious as you say no way the guy gets passed on by nearly everyone who does this for a living.

Can't speak for everyone else, but I was surprised he dropped in the draft, just like Watson and even Teddy before him. All were downgraded for nitpicky (or racist?) evaluations in favor of white guys in spread offenses. Some scouts can't get past their own blindspots.

Race might have played a role but we don't know how he came across in predraft interviews which I believe plays as big a role as anything.

Watson I did not understand for the life of me. Haskins I got. Bridgewater played at Louisville...maybe that played a role idk.

But yea...Watson? How many natties does he have to ball out in

another cfb canceled/postponed.

No big deal but I wonder how the B1G survived with no wiggle room

are you hoping you are finally right and one of these seasons gets cancelled (even though you have so far been wrong)? why else point out the few issues and ignore all the games that are played?

So Delonte West is apparently homeless and asking for money on the streets...


Again? Geez. This must be one of those situations where he doesn't want any help. Even with mental illness, there's a lot of circumstances where they can't do anything for them if the patient refuses.

wonder if they decide to have a PAC CCG if they'd push back the scheduled CFP announcement....or do the 7 games include a CCG?

If I understand what I heard correctly, it will be a 6 game schedule and then the 7th game will be a sort of "Championship Weekend" with a cross division game against the team that finished where you did in your division.

So,1st place vs. 1st place, 2nd vs. 2nd. etc.

what the BIG did, but 8 games plus the championship week. BIG/PAC seem to have screwed the pooch a little by not starting sooner. Better late than never I guess.

Yeah, they each made the same mistake, imo. The cancelled their seasons instead of postponing like the other 3 conferences did. Because they cancelled, they stopped preparing for a season. Now that things have changed, they are scrambling to put something together that makes sense.

It will hurt them re: the CFP. The PAC will be hurt most because they are getting the latest start and looked to be the conference most likely to be left out anyway. Hopefully, the committee will take the unusual circumstances into consideration.
