2018 College Football News

when i was 7 years old my dad took me to the Colorado-Oklahoma football game. Folsom Field. Tony Reed scored the winning touchdown for CU to beat Oklahoma.....and Tony ran up the south end zone COLORADO embankment.......1976.

that's why i'm here. **** the money, **** will grier.
 
I can understand a guy not playing and risking his future. Jake Butt of the Broncos is a perfect example of why a guy would consider not playing.

It still bugs me though the idea that a guy would not be there for his teammates, the teammates who gave their efforts so he could look good, win games, have fun, and develop his game.
 
FCS manages to have a 24-team playoff. 8 teams get seeded. 16 teams play a first round with the winners advancing to take on a seeded team.

The main difference here is that they only play 11 games in their seasons ahead of that playoff. FBS used to only play 11 games and it was just fine. I don't know why FBS gets the crappier setup. We've got larger rosters. We could play 12 and then have the same sort of playoff.

Kyler Murray isn’t risking much. He already agreed to a $5m guaranteed contract w the As and they let him play for OU for one more season.

I have changed my mind on this. If your post-season isn't to play for a championship, then it's playing an exhibition game after the reward of a vacation trip and some free gift bag goodies from the bowl sponsor. No reason to risk injury for that if you're already positioned to be picked in the 1st thee rounds with guaranteed millions on the table.

Correct. Like it or not, this is college football today. People obsessed w the pageantry of the bowl games and purity of the “amateur” game need to get over it and move on. There are multiple examples of guy slotted for being high picks who get hurt in the bowl game. It’s not worth it unless they’re playing for a championship.

That was over 40 years ago. Things have changed. I’m also assuming that game wasn’t just a meaningless exhibition game.
 
Wow Hawkins grew a pair. Went for 2 with a little over a minute to go at Eastern Washington.

Edit: Then EWU goes down and scores in 4 plays and 47 seconds to end up winning.

I have pretty much moved on. I mostly just watch the Buffs, who are one of the few amateur teams left. :(

Edit: realized after posting it wouldn't be common knowledge that he was the De Soto HS quarterback and was a 4* HS All-American in the 2015 class. Played with both Shenault and Nixon, who were a year behind him.
 
It seems like this BIG blue blood programs always have extra coaches helping behind the scenes? Is this even legal? I thought you are only allowed a certain # of coaches?
 
I think this is a good situation for Modster. Thought he got kind of a raw deal this year with Chip obviously trying to push him out.

So we can have 18 teams that don't deserve a shot playing for the championship?

No thanks
