RIPPA Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Taulia Tagovailoa has opted out of Maryland's bowl I totally missed him becoming the Big Ten's all time passing leader which I am sure Maryland will hang a banner for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) I know it is called the Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl (never heard of them by the way) but it feels like the Damn we are getting Old Bowl as we have Josh McCown's son vs Chad Pennington's son. And they are both Freshman Edited December 20, 2023 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could've given me fifty guesses and I wouldn't have come up with Painter. Even if you told me Purdue I'm not sure I would've gotten it in less than three or four, maybe a few more.

hammerva Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Yeah that was maybe the cheapest sucker punch of a player I have seen. I mean this was like one of those NXT Takeover the credits are running attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what the hell does he thinks going to happen when he's ran from wherever the fuck to punch that guy, surrounded by teammates, while his own are all somewhere not on screen? That's like begging to get your head kicked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 So the supposed starter for Florida State against Georgia is going to transfer portal and is out. So yeah that game is going to be real ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they might rally around trying to force a split title and play close to full strength (minus Travis, obviously) but nope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I know this is very old man yelling at clouds but opting for the portal before bowl games feels a lot worse than opting out for the NFL draft. I mean is the market right now that much more expensive then next week? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean is the market right now that much more expensive then next week? It's tough. There's a limited amount of time to choose your next school and get enrolled, and if you stick around until after your bowl, other players will fill many of the spots that are open and leave you with less options. If someone were building a system up from scratch, there's no way in hell we would have the transfer portal, early signing period, and bowl games all at the same time. But the problem is the academic calendar. If athletes are going to be able to participate in spring football practices, they have to enroll in that school before the start of the winter semester in January.

Hail Sabin Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I think FSU is up to like 23 or 24 Players who Opted out. At the moment I don't know who our backup QB is since our 2nd String & 4th String entered the portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Aggies had our starter at QB (would be third stringer but #1 is out for the year and #2 was out for the year and then transferred) for exactly one play before he broke his arm. Fourth stringer had thrown three passes before tonight. Add in having a total of three receivers available and losing about 300 guys on defense, and this is gonna be ugly.

Cobra Commander Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 who's the unofficial leader for the "guy who we can't believe spent the entire season as roster depth" among the players only playing due to opt-outs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Well there is a reason why he was so low on depth chart but I am sure nobody saw 6 TD in Miller Moss future Until injuries started impacting him and his O Line betrayed him, I was impressed with Harrell at QB for North Carolina I didn't think the Duke's Mayo Bowl could be surpassed in terms of bowl celebration. Then I saw the Pop Tarts Bowl. Before the game a giant toaster creates this mascot. At the end of the game the mascot goes back in the toaster, heated up. and is fed to Kansas State as an oversized Cherry tart.
