The OFFICIAL 2020 College football RANDOM THOUGHTS thread

That's not how it works. Myles is the golden white boy, and fans are going to complain and give TJ a hard time for every mistake. He got that Bo Nix protection, but Coach O ain't going down playing politics.

It’s funny seeing them try to downplay TJ’s game without trying to come off bias

I'm not a coach or nothing, but I can see when there is a clear talent difference between players. Myles is good when he has a clean pocket and he's able to spam Marshall and Gilbert. He has no poise and is a sitting duck back there, all you gotta do is blitz him and force him out of the pocket. You'll either get a sack or he's going to throw the ball away.

Michigan, for all the talk of not beating OSU, returned to form of basically winning 10 games a year. Michigan State was then no longer able to get kids that otherwise would’ve gone to Michigan. Their recruiting fell all the way off.

Harbs basically took State down to lil blue level, is what you're saying

One thing that's becoming obvious is King can't see behind the offensive line.

Lamar a special get, and I gotta preface what im gonna say by acknowledging that, but these speedster types are IMO less attractive than the power runners, Cams, Cardales, etc.

that trade off you get with open field herky jerkyness isn't worth it to me unless the short guy has borderline elite arm angles. and most dual threat QBs don't have that, regardless of type or height

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

Nah they gotta go to Finley or he gonna transfer in the off-season

14 Big Ten universities, ranked by annoyance


2. Ohio State
Meathead Overlords. The Spray-Tan Empire. The university was bankrolled in large part by the man who gave Jeffery Epstein all his money.

The worst thing in that collection of outright slander of the Ohio State University is the documented truth. That’s where we start with Ohio State: The truth is always worse than anything one can make up.

That truth is real, real, real bad. Their fans really are all variations on the cops Ralph Steadman drew for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Their commitment to football is so total and so divorced from the rest of campus life that Justin Fields openly admitted in the media that COVID quarantine wouldn’t be that different than the usual because they didn’t see the rest of campus much. Their greatest coach ended his career by punching a player on the field and believed civilians could be massacred in combat as long as they were older than five or maybe six years old. Their stadium feels like a mausoleum for dead fascist weightlifters. Buck-I-Guy shows up to funerals and signs things like he’s on the team.

The least endearing habit Ohio State has as a fanbase is believing everyone would like to know their take on the situation – all of the situations, actually, at all times. Their most endearing trait is how morbidly funny most of their disasters are. Buck-I-Guy really did show up to a funeral and sign a team photo. Woody Hayes really did pop Charlie Bauman in the jaw on national TV, the Bucks really do lose to Purdue every four years for no reason whatsoever, and they really did lose another coach over some illicit tattoos. If America is Hellworld, then Ohio remains its dull, fiery furnace, a place where petty sadnesses have to be laughed at by anyone with a conscience just to maintain a veneer of sanity, and where the conscienceless celebrate the blessing of being on fire 24/7.

Someone is emailing me right now from a CrossFit in Akron to tell me how wrong I am. This is why Ohio State is a perennial top-five team. The commitment never sleeps, even when all I want to do is close my eyes and not think about how much I didn’t respect Braxton Miller when he was a college player.

But the Ohio State fan never sleeps. I can hear him typing this from outside my bedroom window, because he is definitely the type of rube who never turned off the keystroke noises on his iPhone.




These facts can’t write themselves.

Is there a source for this one?

Ima try to find it, but last year (I wanna say the first quarter was about to wrap up) and Fields mentioned the only time he’d been on campus was for financial aid paperwork. Said all his classes were ‘online’ so there wasn’t any need to hit campus up, unless it was practice.

That's more insane than Cardale Jones tweet about classes.
