re: NFL Draft: Rounds 4 to 7 Today

It’s a really bad year to need a QB.
I’m not sure going there is in the best interest of a person with her demographic persuasion.
So does the team that got spanked in the title game become the champ, or is this a vacated title situation?

Just an FYI. At least at Bama and AU, they honor any HS coach credential. Have a buddy who went to a couple of low tier football games with his golf coach’s card. As I recall, for the biggest games you had to request by Monday before the game, but for the WKU level ones it was day before.

There are rumors that Lanning called Heupel and told him that the kid’s camp was shopping offers around.

If that turns out to be true good on Lanning.


So, Oregon is one of the schools rumored as a potential landing spot. The ethics on this are pretty muddled. I guess Lanning at least had the courtesy of letting UT know they were toying with the idea of snatching their QB. This whole situation is pretty crazy.
Like Nico, Underwood clearly picked his school based on the money. Nico’s initial offer was reportedly $8M and Underwood’s $10M. Once that is the driving factor, nothing prevents them from asking for more. If these massive paydays for kids not even graduated from high school continue to blow up in this way, the market will adjust. I would think teams would start throwing more money at transfer guys for a big $ number rather than wasting money on youngsters to sit the bench and then demand a pay bump.
The sad part is going to be when/if some gets Nico for a number higher than what he was getting at UT. It is going to se a really bad precedent.

And boy did it need to.

An example needed to be made.



What UT did was the right move, but if some other team gives the dude what he wants or a number closer to it, lots of guys are gonna see this as a win for Nico.
One year riding the pine and one as a starter with middling stats..that in itself is criminal. Then leaving the Vols high and dry at the end of spring practice, leaving them less practice time to get another guy some seasoning for the fall. Whoever foot that bill has to be mad as hell. It is gonna be fascinating to see which team brings this guy in, knowing he’s going to pull this again next year.
I’d absolutely love to see the Underwood kid at UM pull this in a year or two just to hasten the end of this madness.

kudos to Dan Lanning for telling Heupel and the Tennessee staff that Nico’s peddlers were shopping him around.


Whoa, I hadn’t heard this. When/where did that come out?

That is really a fascinating question. I mean $15 million seems pretty reasonable with multimillion bumps every year as long as he sticks around.
Being completely honest, a DL named Titan is exciting as all get out. I know zip about this dude, but looks like 24/7 has us and Michigan as high interest for him.

Nick's retirement was him getting the hell out of Dodge before his legacy gets pantsed.


yeah, ending your career on the downturn of going undefeated in and winning the SEC, stopping a UGa three peat and breaking their 30sh game win streak, then losing in OT in the playoff semis was a harbinger of just how far he had already fallen. :rolleyes:

ETA: The guy revolutionized coaching. All the good coaches today use their own form of his system for preparation, planning and implementation. Kirby and Sark are literal Saban disciples. They have both built programs in the same image. You think either of them share the view that Saban was just getting the best players? Of course you need good players, but it is stupid to say that just stockpiling talent is all there is to it.

This was at the official gear stores right outside the dome. I was flabbergasted and literally laughed aloud. We have gone full retard.

Officiating with almost all sports at all truly competitive levels (nobody should care about little league through 4a HS officiating) is at an all time low


Can’t disagree, BUT when the same crew calls completely different games from one half to the next, it isn’t just sucking. Averaging almost 1.3 fouls l per minute in the second half creates a game with no flow for either team and a bad viewing experience. It definitely leaves chance for a whole lot of ads though.
Didn’t realize the number got to 26. Sitting in the Dome it went from an entertaining game with nice flow to just hot garbage. After 2 incredible semis, it was a tad disappointing.

When UF picked up a foul like 10-20 seconds into the 2nd half, it was clear what was about to happen.
