Barkley might be the best college RB I have ever seen. I think he may even be better than Reggie Bush.
Reggie Bush was a great college RB. Barkley is better? I have to watch him. This is the firat time I am watching him play. What do you like about him (why do you think he is the best)?

Neil Smith was also on that 87 team. Don't get me wrong IMO the 95 team was the best ever but I loved the players on that 87 team.
That is 30 years ago! Was Osborne the head coach then? I vaguely recall pundits saying Osborne "could not win the big game". You remember?
ND is now up 14-0, about to punt to USC on 4th and 29.

Yeah they had Eric. My favorite Nebraska team was 1987, they should've won it all that season. Still bugs me how they lost to Oklahoma at Lincoln. They were beating everyone like 70-7 that season.
Now that was way before my football-watching days.
I started watching in the early 90s.

Before that they had Rozier in the 80's and the 87 team had Steve Taylor but the 90's is where they finally won. Penn St destroying Michigan right now.
Did Nebraska also have Eric Crouch? I sometimes got him mixed up with Tim Couch.
-
Penn St looks great. They are up 14-0 and Michigan can't muster anything on offense. Still first quarter but Penn St has the ball again.

Wow! Sammy fumbled. ND might be the real deal this year. I have actually always been a Husker fan since the 80's but already told you that but I do like ND - most people do here in Indiana. Huskers lost 56-14 against OSU today
man they stink. I miss the 80's and 90's.
The days of Tom Osborne and Tommie Frazier

ND scores TD after a Sam Darnold fumble. 7-0 ND

Lynch was trying to separate Donald Penn from 'lighting off' Peters and escalating the situation. Remember, our own (now) Chris Ballard had to personally go visit Peters and his family and interview them before the Chiefs would even entertain putting him on their draft board. Peters has a strong personality and isn't afraid to challenge coaches, official, players, etc... and was dismissed by Washington university. He was still the top ranked cover corner, but a red flag guy. Now that hes in the NFL, the Chiefs have done well to protect him. But Lynch and Peters are Oakland guys, and Lunch has provided a haven (including living quarters) for Peters and guided him through the draft process when he was released form college. So Lynch and Peters are exceptionally tight. and Lynch knows how team loyal Donal Penn is... so...
No matter what, leaving the sideline is a big no no, and touching an official in any fashion (intent or accident) is an immediate DQ. I do expect a fine, and possibly a 1 game suspension as well for Lynch's action, no matter how well intentioned it was.
I thought the NFL announced that he was suspended one game. I saw it on NFL Network last night.

Who does Stanford play today?
They don't play today. They play next Thursday against Oregon St. Stanford should win that game. I am waiting for the game against Washington. That won't be easy.

RG3 getting it over Luck was a joke.
I can't recall exactly but RG3 had a great year, as did Luck. I thought Luck should have won it but I am a homer. ;)

Love is a great runner, but McCaffrey could do pretty much everything. I thought he got robbed for the heisman.
Stanford players don't win the Heisman. If any Cardinal was going to win it, it would have been McCaffrey because everyone knew who he was and he had the stats and the highlights to show for it.
Several Stanford players have finished second: Luck (twice, I think), Elway, and Toby Gerhart as well as McCaffrey.
I would love it if Bryce Love would win it but there are too many other players in contention for it.

You just batted once and struck out. My average is perfect yours is zero.
No, he would have a zero average (.000) and you would have no average. The two are different.
Anyway, back to the topic, this is absurd. Anyone who knows football would love to have a healthy Luck at QB. He is not overrated.

I agree with that ^^^. (Good post for the Random Stuff Thread too)

Is Bryce Love better than McCaffrey? I don't know about that but this writer seems to think so.
This writer Ben Natan is excellent. I like to read his articles about NFL prospects.

That depends on who you ask lol. It's supposed to be Cal, but over the last few years, it's been USC. Oregon too.
On 10/15/2017 at 7:29 PM, RockThatBlue said:Who is considered Stanfords biggest rival?
I think it is USC now. A few years ago I would have said Oregon. Cal is Stanford's long time rival, but Cal has not been good for a while now.

No, and luckily I just got promoted to a different location, so hopefully I don't run into her again.
She's still nothing compared to Crazy Tuna Lady...
Years ago, when I actually was in the food industry, this lady ordered a tuna sandwich, and then had a conversation with herself in the store about the sandwich. Then accused my staff of trying to poison her with "radioactive" mayo packets, and then tried to run over our employees with her car in the parking lot multiple times over the next 2-week period.
I actually had to call the police and tell them about the menace that was terrorizing my employees. About 65 years old, gray hair, loud screechy voice, crazy look in her eye, looks and sounds just like a witch, driving a white 2-door hatchback filled with so much garbage that it comes tumbling out every time she opens her door, but the garbage is valuable to her, so she picks it all up and throws it back into her car...
Ha. She is clearly a hoarder and most likely had obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Imagine the state of her home!

That's fine...I'm not going to kill people on grammar on the internet when most people are responding with a phone that they are constantly having it auto-correct (incorrectly) what they are trying to say 3 and 4 times per word. It's exhausting personally. Yes. I could go back through and proof read every post I am making for any mistake but perhaps unlike you it is not a worthy use of my time. This is not work or school and as such this is a casual board to get a point across or have a casual conversation. Thus I will treat it as such and those that want to take it more seriously may. Feel free to ignore my posts because of my occasional misspelling and poor grammar. It's your right....but I think you will have few people to converse with if you decide to hold people on this board to such a high standard.
I still stand by my point. When people pick away at sentence structure or start calling names while ignoring the content and the facts of what is posted everyone can see exactly what they are doing. It's clear as day and it doesn't work. When you fail at being able to overcome the person's claims and argument then you attack something you can clearly find a fault with...spelling/grammar. It's an easy way to get a win because everyone makes those errors. Just like we see people in debates just change the subject or deflect by tearing down the character of someone else or attacking them personally because that is easier to do then refute what they are saying.
Well said (written), as usual. His comment to Lucky Colts Fan (LCF) is a great example of that. He (KC) criticized others for making spelling and grammatical errors. LCF pointed out where he made those same errors. Instead of admitting that he was wrong, he ignored the point and called LCF a name.
As you wrote earlier, resorting to name-calling is the first sign that someone has lost an argument.

Off topic but awesome win today over the Pack. I feel bad for Rodgers though. On topic I said Watson was the best QB coming out and so far he has been. He is the real deal IMO.
You sure did say that. I liked him because he seemed like a leader but I did not believe he would do that well that fast. He also looks like a good kid. I like Trubisky too.
Re Rodgers: I don't like to see any players getting hurt. Too many NFL stars are on IR. It hurts the game.
Happy we got the win. Our defense is playing really well. Keenum is playing ok. Our #1 draft pick last year Treadwell showed promise today.
I was happy to see AP do well today for the Cards. He looked really good. I was embarrassed for him when he was with the Saints. (Hey, your man Brock is in for Denver.)

yawn. RG3 had a stellar rookie year as well before his big collapse the following year. But for now lets see how far Watson hot hand goes
Why did you choose to compare him to RG3??? Lots of other QBs' NFL careers have started well. Why RG3?
-
Another 3 TDs and another win for Watson. He has passed for 1200 yards, 12 TDs and 4 INTs this season. It's early but it's impressive.

I take it you didn't watch the game. He looked great today.
What he was traded for is irrelevant. The saints didn't use him to his strengths
57 minutes ago, RockThatBlue said:He had 130 yards today.
I am very happy for Peterson. The Saints were not a good fit for him. He looked a lot better today. I hope that continues.

He did. It was crazy. He also tweaked his ankle a bit but I think he’ll be alright.
I went to sleep in the 3rd quarter. Did we win? I will check now.

I think Utah made the right call as well. Too bad it didn't work, but its nice to see a coach playing to win instead of getting all conservative.
I agree! Great minds...
I started watching in the early 90s.
man they stink. I miss the 80's and 90's.

Congrats! My sister-in-law is a Rutgers alum.
Jerry Kill was the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, but he took a leave a few years ago because he was having uncontrolled seizures. I did not realize he was coaching again. Glad to hear that.
