No. That’s why I stopped watching college basketball.

I'm glad you mentioned that;

players leaving doesn't bother me, but the rules changes to make it "more exciting" killed a lot of my interest.

With college basketball, I'm old enough to remember the no shot clock, no 3 pt shot era. And I liked that style of play a lot more. There was a lot more skill involved with getting a good shot, a lot more strategy in offenses. And defenses could still force the tempo with presses and traps.

With football, some of the crap in the NFL, especially with the kickoff and extra points, bugs me the same way. And with college, dicking around with the clock is doing the same thing.
The sport was perfectly fine, no reason to frick with it. Football is meant to have touchbacks at the 20, kicks where you could run fakes, onside kicks that could be surprises. Going out of bounds stops the clock, and in college getting the first down stops it. That's the way it was played for a very long time, teams did all sorts of things to make the most of that.

Changing from that annoys me far more than seeing a different set of guys on the field, as long as they're still wearing the jerseys I know and love.

I think this is definitely something we (the US) need to watch. It's going down with or without our help, at this point.

Just completely from an apolitical point of view (Left or Right), that country is about to implode. Go search about water shortages, they have run out of water for Tehran. The reservoirs are dry, there are sinkholes appearing from where the ground is collapsing due to that. They are rationing water, shutting off access at night.
Imagine a city of 10 million where they shut the water off daily. That coupled with the collapse of the economy, people are going to reach a point where going down from a bullet might be considered more desirable than slowly dying in your apartment trying to behave.

Dante Moore is only a sophmore

There is talk that he could be a top five pick if he enters the draft this season.

Anyone with rd 1-2 projections needs to come out immediately.

Let's not forget going into this season, the top projected QBs were Nussmeier, Klubnik, and Allar. Nussmeier would likely have gone high had he left last year, maybe higher than Shough did (2nd rd). At this point all three are probably going day 3.

TL,DR version- don't frick around if you can get drafted.

I have an S22 ultra. Using chrome.

Past few days, if I'm on a thread with embedded content (youtube etc), when I thumb scroll down, it freezes at that content and becomes unresponsive for about 3-5 seconds. Can't go down or back up. I have to shrink the browser to get past this, or wait

Indiana doesn't look great. They do look focused and prepared.

Alabama looks like they don't know what to do. I dont like that offensive scheme, same as what LSU ran. No aggression on the o line, just standing up into pass blocks. Even on the runs.

Alabama QB and offensive scheme is bad.

Deboer just doesn't know how to coach an Alabama type of team. They should be leaning on Indiana, firing off the ball, trying to beat them down for late in the game. Instead it's stand and react, on both sides of the game

When will QBs learn to dive head first when going for the line to gain?

was he trying to slide? Defender grabbed him high from behind. I thought that's why it looked thr way it did

Why is Alabama playing back so much? I really think they can push Indiana's line around, and force pressure on Mendoza. Would disrupt the run that way too.

But they're so passive, instead.

Boise St, Oregon and Arizona state were all underdogs last year. They were supposed to lose

Was Oregon?
I thought they were the undefeated #1 seed, having already beaten Ohio State head-to-head and winning the Big 10.

Tech, then SeLa

Those were the red flags.

Clemson game was tough, but we were on the road at a highly ranked team loaded with talent. At the time, I was actually pleased with what the offense did- they negated what was supposed to be a dominant defensive line.

When La Tech's defense played us like they were a solid SEC team, I was extremely worried. And when SELU, a nid-tier FCS team, was able to hold us to 135 yds rushing on 35 carries, I accepted we were in trouble if Nussmeier wasn't Heisman-worthy

I'd honestly think he goes 4th rd, maybe pretty early in it. Ton of physical potential when you look at his films prior to this season.

If his falloff is due to an injury, he's a no-brainer to take a shot on later in the draft, especially if you have an older or not particularly great QB currently.
