London 2018?

The NFL normally announces the teams that are selected to go to London during December. We’re halfway through and still nothing. 

A report earlier this year said they want to get the remaining six teams that haven’t been over there.

Two questions, do we believe we are going and will the NFL take away a home game from us?

@RoaringRiot or @Jeremy Igo, any insight to this?

Saw somewhere that they pushed this year's announcement to mid January. 

I'm already working on the tailgate spot for this game. It's going to be a banger.

That would be fantastic. I would not go to Philly but I’d definitely do London. 

I would only go to Philly because I lived there for three years and I would just go to the game with my friends up there. I'm not taking a group up there. I'm all set on that....

Panthers at eagles would be a marquee game.  Couldn't see it wasted on London. 

They're two of the five teams (pretty sure it's 5) that haven't gone. But yes, this was my prediction before the season. Could certainly changed based on their 2017 performances. But I'm gonna ride it out ;)

I don't think it's a waste to put any game in London. It's still televised here. One of the four games this year kicked off at 1pm EST, so I don't see why they couldn't put a potential marquee game over there. 

In fact, if they really want the game to be popular in the UK, they need to have meaningful football there, so I'd be supportive of any of our games being played in London. As long as it's not permanently.

Would be a expensive trip. Looking at airfare between $1100 to  $1500 roundtrip. Hotels are around $200 to  $300 a night. If you leave out Friday night arrive Saturday morning and leaving Monday. You are looking at $2000 before even buying a ticket to the game.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
