Bama Panther

It wouldn’t be #2 and #12 for #1, like some posters here seem to think. It’s not like Houston is trading up from #7 to #1. It’s a single spot, and I don’t think Houston will part with another first for that.

And the same number of QBs that will be drafted before pick #9.

When you’re worried about the perception of your state, what better way to class things up than telling someone to eat your ass, “dingleberries and all”?

I haven’t read through this entire thread, but Chicago really has the chance to make out like bandits in this draft. It merely takes trading down to #2 with Houston and then playing Indy to trade down to #4. The Bears still get one of the top defensive guys and get several more picks to build out their roster.

$52M per year projected for Lamar. $40M per projected for Geno. $40M projected for Daniel Jones. These QB contracts are getting insane.

Where’s Kevin Costner when you need to turn a #9 pick into a #1 pick and a #7 pick?

These refs suck so bad.

Normal for this place is the overreactions and full-on, unbridled emotion.

I’m late to the party concerning the Cotton Bowl. It came on very early this morning here in Korea, so I only just caught the second half during the AFN replay. What a great game, but what a lousy group of officials! They got nearly every huge call wrong (the non-catch by the USC receiver that was called a catch, the no targeting when the defender very clearly lowered his helmet and made contact with the crown, the completion to win the game that was called an incompletion with such zeal). The zebras in that game absolutely sucked.

Tepper just can’t win for losing with most of y’all. You bitch about Tepper hiring Rhule who turned out to suck, and then you bitch about Tepper telling Rhule he needed to make some changes because, you know, he sucks. You’re right. It is ludicrous for an owner to tell his sucky coach to suck less. Sheesh. Nevermind the guy has over a billion dollars invested in this team.

I don’t get the incessant need to spout “the Panthers suck.” It’s like people cannot see the difference in the team now and the team under Rhule. The team under Rhule sucked (1-4 record). The team under Wilkes does not suck (5-5 record). Denver sucks. Arizona sucks. Chicago sucks. Houston sucks. Despite its shortcomings, the current Panthers team is not great, maybe average, but they don’t suck.

That team that "had absolutely no business being there" won their first round matchup and lost to the NFC's representative in the Super Bowl that year. Not sure how that equates to having "absolutely no business being there."

My middle child wanted a Mayfield one after the trade. Since we are currently stationed in Korea, I had one made for him at a little sports store just outside of base.

Kirby is 1-4 against Saban. I wouldn’t necessarily call that having Saban’s number, but I definitely think UGa has the better team right now.

Even as a Bama grad, I concur with this. Would I love Bama to sneak in to get a shot at the championship? Absolutely. Do I think they should? Nah.

You know what? You’re right. That must’ve been why the replay officials didn’t buzz the field for a review. They only do that for close calls.

I can see that, but I think it was pretty clear that the DB’s crown hit Rising right in the facemask.

The PAC 12 does not want USC to lose. Not sure how that wasn’t deemed targeting when the crown of the helmet was the first thing to hit the QB’s facemask.

I hope not. In no world does Brian Burns deserve the NFL’s top AAV contract for a DE by about $3M.

If only Patrick Mahomes was a #1 overall pick, your argument would hold water, but he wasn’t. He was the #10 pick.

I don’t see how OSU gets in after that beat down. They got obliterated at home against one of the only good opponents they played (ND being the other).

If USC wins out, there’s no way OSU gets in. I think the committee would be hard pressed to justify OSU getting in after getting absolutely beat down by the one good opponent they faced. Even as a Bama fan, I don’t think Bama should get in this year though. They have just not performed at a level to justify it.

It was close, and I’m a bit biased. I think the replay showed the returner’s ring finger and pinky bend down as if the ball touched them. The UGA fan watching with me thought it showed the same thing.

Bama’s D really isn’t special at all this year. I cannot wait for To’oto’o to be gone.

They’ve been out scored 28-3 in the second half. Their 11-0 record coming in is simply the result of playing a Charmin soft schedule.
