re: Flynn&Hester film study
Posted by inadaze on 9/9/26 at 11:44 pm to SportTiger1
I'm going to watch tomorrow. Good idea for a show. I get so much college football content recommended, and I've been thinking some of the shows need to put more into the production, and specifically put some film on the screen.

re: Regular season performances since 2000 - where does this rank?

2007 vs. Virginia Tech and 2003 vs. Arizona.
Two other postseason games came to mind for me. 2005 Peach Bowl vs. Miami, and then on a different level of changing paradigms across college football, the 2002 BCSCG, Miami vs. Nebraska.
That game marked a landscape shite with Nebraska moving away from its position as one of the best programs in college football. Different circumstances obviously, but it feels like it could be that type of defining loss for this version of Clemson as a program. Wherever they go from here, it was an awesome run they had. There aren't many dynasties that could legitimately be compared to that Nebraska dynasty.

Going into the 4th, UMass should not go too conservative. Let Pop win it.
re: Jimmy Rollins: should he be in the HOF?
Posted by inadaze on 9/2/26 at 10:44 pm to ChanceOfRainIsNever
The best argument for Rollins hinges on speed (defensive range and baserunning), overall defense, and then the power he added with that.
Most Gold Gloves by SS, SB, HR
(Bold = HOF)
Ozzie Smith - 13, 580, 28
Omar Vizquel - 11, 404, 80
Luis Aparicio - 9, 506, 83
Mark Belanger - 8, 167, 20
Dave Concepcion - 5, 321, 101
Derek Jeter - 5, 358, 260
Brandon Crawford - 4, 47, 147
Tony Fernandez - 4, 246, 94
Jimmy Rollins - 4, 470, 231
Andrelton Simmons - 4, 72, 70
Alan Trammell - 4, 236, 185
At the level of speed and defense Rollins was at, Jeter is really the only one in the same class with HR numbers.

I found some more who are on 2026 rosters if you're going for a comprehensive list.
Nic Anderson - Kentucky (4)
Jaelyn Davis-Robinson - SMU (13)
Kells Bush - James Madison (88)
Kolbe Fields - Louisiana Tech (10)
Damarius McGhee - Florida Atlantic (4)
Pig Cage - Incarnate Word (31)
Derrick Davis Jr. - Western Carolina (22)
Marcus Dumervil is now the run game coordinator with the Loras Duhawks (Dubuque, Iowa).

Florida State has an overall record of 52-48 since Jimbo. 83-23 with Jimbo.
Almost every prediction I saw for the Ireland game was for TCU. Not only did they pick TCU, but most completely discounted Belichick of even having a chance. Only five overseas games and six Super Bowls with the Patriots. Evidently not enough to earn the respect of the blabberers.
re: So why is the media silent and no public backlash against Texas A&M?
Posted by inadaze on 8/27/26 at 6:16 am to Jack Crevalle
The CBB world went through this during the winter with Alabama and Charles Bediako. He played 5 games with a TRO, then the injunction got denied in February. So CBB people are more used to it, and we're in late August and anticipation is high for CFB, which gets more attention as a sport anyway.
At the time, Alabama did get backlash about it. Not at the level of what's going on now with football because that was during the season and CFB draws more interest in general.

That 2023 Championship Game was the most I had ever watched NCAAW to that point in my life. The only time I had watched before that was part of a game because of Seimone Augustus.
Not only because of her, but I'd say she was the main reason. There's definitely validity to that quote. She had a better shooting percentage than Clark, and zero turnovers in that game.

That basis for rating players has a lot of holes in it. Not only does it make for a timetable that is too far off in the future, but that basis sets itself up to theoretically miss a bunch of good college players that don't necessarily translate to the next level for one reason or another.
Tebow is a good example in theory, although, everyone had him rated extremely high. Sam Olajubutu is a more under-the-radar guy that always comes to mind for me when I think about how flawed this premise is.
Then there have been a bunch of good QBs under 6'. Young, Murray, and Wilson have been mentioned. Joe Hamilton, Todd Reesing (2006-09 Kansas), Stetson Bennett -- those guys were extremely good college players who QBed some of the best seasons for their programs this mellinium. That they didn't have major impacts in the NFL doesn't take away from how effective they were in college.

re: Nuss Stats Today

That depends on what you mean by "good".
If you're setting the bar so high that no LSU QB has reached it as a first-season starter, then what does it really mean?
He had a higher QBR in SEC games than Burrow and Daniels did in their first seasons starting in the SEC.
QBR in SEC Games, (Average Per Game)
Burrow (2018) - 77.6, 93.1, 51.4, 83.3, 49.7, 40.6, 65.9, 94.2, (69.5)
Daniels (2022) - 64.1, 60.9, 53.1, 93.6, 86.8, 85.4, 10.1, 78.2, 73.1, (67.3)
Nussmeier (2024) - 76.8, 75.8, 80.9, 67.1, 55.7, 66.4, 84.6, 87.3, (74.3)
The defenses are factored into that QBR formula. If you break it down by YPG ranking of the defenses, Burrow had the highest ranked SEC slate, highlighted by Mississippi State at #1 with Simmons and Abram. Average final ranking of SEC opponent defenses was 40.9.
Daniels had the lowest ranked slate. Average ranking of 63.9, highlighted by Georgia in the SECCG. Nussmeier had a better 2nd half in that game.
Nussmeier had the most games against top 25 defenses at 4. Average ranking of 44.5.

Nebulous claim, but for some historical context, that 2024 season is 10th in passing yards in SEC history.

People so often write off that type of run-heavy O completely. But 2023-24 Michigan showed a system like that could keep working with good utilization of TEs.
McCarthy didn't even pass for 3000 in 15 games, but he was highly efficient. And Michigan utilized the TEs well. Colston Loveland and AJ Barner were two of the top pass catchers that season. And now are good NFL TEs.
It makes so much sense to incorporate TEs with a system like that.

Germany has a weltklasse soccer history. Tied for 2nd-most WC Championships. And although it was a loss, and there was a lot of controversy with the Chinese referee, they had one of the all-time classics vs. Greece. Guido van Rossum led me there.
re: Who is your list of top 10 dunkers ever?
Posted by inadaze on 6/19/26 at 9:34 pm to holdmuh keystonelite

In game
The in-game case for LJ is strong.
The only guys who have more total dunks than him are post players who generally needed an assist or some type of setup to get the dunk. Whereas so many of LJ's are on drives, adding a predunk level to the degree of difficulty. That's part of why he's over 50% on FGs. So if the criteria is weighted toward utility dunks -- dunks that contributed to winning basketball games, LeBron has to rank high.
Most rankings aren't about that, though. They're more about dunk contests, fast-break dunks, uncontested creativity. But there's no law that a criteria has to be more about this stuff.

If you were doing a list of top 10 home run hitters, would it matter if some guys didn't participate in the HR Derby?
Just think about the volume of dunks, the dunks that impacted games, the explosion to dunk through and over defenders. I could easily see an argument for LeBron being #1.

Gerald Green was a good dunker. I'd put him in the top 10.
The best dunks to me are contested dunks, or a dunk that becomes uncontested because of the creativity or explosion of the dunker. Extra stuff on a dunk that is completely uncontested doesn't do as much for me.

Some of those guys have a lot more statistics than just receiving.
People usually don't put these types of rankings within a criteria framework. I prefer the framework of complete player as opposed to something like "receiving only".

Devery Henderson has to be evaluated with some additional context. He played RB for two years, then his first year as a WR was when Mauck was injured. LSU QBs combined for 1990 pass yards at 47.7%. With more opportunities, he could've had much higher numbers with his big-play ability.
One of the underrated plays he had was saving time on the kickoff return before the game-winner vs. Kentucky in 2002.
