Tom Servo 7,161 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 10 hours ago, Doug B said: Maybe I'm too old and too far behind on the lingo ... but how long has "chest" been used to mean "heart", "fire", "determination", "want-to"? Been seeing that all of a sudden (to me) on some football message boards. Is that what Antonio Brown's "Mr. Big Chest" was in reference to? That he was calling himself something like "Mr. Determination"? Mods: Please move this to the "Phrases that need to be eliminated" thread. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still think the NFL is a far better product, while college is a better experience. Went to South Bend for the OU game in 2013. Fantastic experience. Helps greatly that OU won. Even so, if you're a CFB fan it has to be on your bucket list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Warrants mentioning. Texas would have been fine to claim covid killed this season and wait to see what develops in 2021 and saved the money. 4 coaches in 6 years, paying out more than any other head coach in that time and (subject to whatever buyout Herman gets) could be $15M a year in that stretch and into 2021.

I just think QB play is more important ever (as Saban says Offense wins today), and Sark has been spectacularly successful developing Tua and Mac, and recruiting Bryce Young. Tua so noticeably looked like a different QB under Sark, moving the ball around and making quick and good decisions. I should have said '*IF* he recruits a very good DC and recruiting staff, as that's no guarantee. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 5* QB they recruited bailed mid-season leaving them with mediocre 3/4* unproven types with no game experience. They will need to go portal shopping for 21 just to be competitive. It can not be stressed enough that this is the weakest the 2-Deep has looked for them in 2 decades or more on offense. The recruits they have had have either not panned out or have simply left the team. And this is their weakest offense class perhaps ever, incoming.

Very deserving of the Heisman for sure. I'll be curious to see if he goes ahead of Chase in the draft. I think Chase may be the superior talent, but not playing this year will probably cause him to drop a little. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
