Sam was too small for a defensive end and wasn’t fast enough to be a worth while OLB ala Jihaad Campbell.

He went nearly undrafted because he had the least desirable measurables for a 3-4 lineman of like….all time.


Some that may be true, but he had a productive preseason with the Rams and was still cut. The locker room distraction issue was very much a piece of Sam's situation. Not all of it, but it wasn't a non-factor, either.

Half of the NFL fans are dallas fans, and 1/3 of them are new Colorado fans

And for 30 yrs the media has placated to that demographic

So I don't know if they are mocking anyone anymore, as much as they are just marching to the drum beat they created


THIS.

1) Hype up a guy because he has a famous, loud-mouthed, self- and son-promoting father, because people are drawn to that kind of thing like flies to sh*t.
2) Play up the outrage and conspiracy angle when their overhyped player isn't drafted at the level the hype would suggest, because people are drawn to that as well.
3) Generate lots of ad revenue as a result, which is the whole point for that industry.

This is just mass media doing what it does.

Lordy the blue states just don't arrest anyone anymore.


Another way to think of it is that places like Louisiana lock up more people than anybody else per capita, and then they still have to lock up more the next year, and the year after that. Obviously that approach isn't working.

North Dakota State had half as many first rounders at the 18 team ACC and the 16 team "Big" 12.

7 catches for 82 yards is hardly "disappeared." Facts are your friend.

Box Score
Most of the food southerners like is really bad.

If Mizzou doesn't fit the "culture" of the league, so be it. All the better, in fact.

Calling someone "baw" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.


With that being said, I will say something good: As far as the sports themselves, this league is head and shoulders above the Big 12 and every other conference. So many sports are SEC-dominated. Just off the top of my head, and there are more:

Football
Men's basketball (this season wasn't a fluke)
Baseball
Softball
Gymnastics

Wease had no issues improving his production (catches and yards) with the QB situation. Both saw a regression in TDs.


It seemed to me that teams were willing to let Theo get the ball rather than Luther. It looked like they were scheming to stop Burden first and foremost. I'm no expert on the X's and O's, however. Folks who understand the X's and O's well, what do you think?

Tennessee was aware that Iamaleava's representatives had reached out to at least one other school, Oregon, prior to the start of spring practice, sources told ESPN, but Oregon said it wasn't interested.

re: Why would anyone even want Nico?

Someone will end up signing him, but I have serious doubts he'll end up getting more than the $2.4 million that Tennessee agreed to pay him. There's no way in hell he's getting the $4 million he was asking for.

Fix the unrestricted portal


Pro sports don't do unrestricted to this extent because they know it would destroy the product.


They also have a lot more legal clout than the NCAA does.

Yep, like winning by 13 on the road in the SEC.

FYI, 10-3 is not the same as 8-4. Neither is 11-2. Are you really that factually challenged?

Some people do. Most everyone I know says soda.
That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard an announcer say. And, it would be one thing if it just slipped out and he quickly corrected himself, but for him to go on and on about it...WOW.
