I just don't know who else is really gonna fit that number 1 pick spot.


For us, we want him to be amazing so if we are getting that first pick, we can get the proverbial kings ransom.

 

We've got a long ways to go until then.  I don't see Mariota as a #1 overall quarterback.

 

Maybe he slips and Chip Kelly can get him in Philly.

That was a horrid call.

 

Plus it was tipped.

 

End result is better for Zona anyway.   :thumbsup:

You see that other post I just made about 2014 vs 2015 draft qbs?


Who else right now would you take number 1 overall BTW?

If Winston passes the off the field tests (which may not happen) I'd take him all day over Mariota at QB.

 

To be honest I haven't thought too far into next years draft and I'm not saying Mariota won't go 1.  I'm saying I don't think he's that level of a quarterback.

Arizona shooting themselves in the foot.

 

I've said it on here before but Oregon is loaded with athleticism/talent.  I still can't stand their offense but boy do they have a roster loaded with speed.

Oregon seems to be very unorganized. If Arizona cut down on those mistakes they'd have a much nicer cushion.


Michigan should have kept rich rod

Well,Well Alabama must think they are worth calling their buddy at the NCAA and dropping a little negativeness on them
Right before the game to! At Auburn we get one of these ever year. Mississippi has hit the big time.

OXFORD, Miss. – The University of Mississippi athletic program is under investigation by the NCAA for potential rules violations in multiple sports.

Athletic director Ross Bjork confirmed to Yahoo Sports on Wednesday that Ole Miss “is working with the NCAA” in an ongoing investigation. Bjork said the school has not received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, nor does it have a date set for a hearing before the NCAA Committee on Infractions. He declined further comment.

Multiple sources told Yahoo Sports the Mississippi football and women’s basketball programs are subjects of the investigation. One source with knowledge of the probe said the bulk of the potential violations relate to women’s basketball. The source said the current football staff of head coach Hugh Freeze is not believed to be implicated in any major violations, and that much of the football inquiry dates back to actions by a previous Ole Miss staff. Freeze is in his third year at the school. The source said there have been no new allegations, all NCAA interviews have completed and the school is waiting for the NCAA Department of Enforcement's next step.

Bjork fired women’s basketball coach Adrian Wiggins and two of his assistants in October 2012 after alleged wrongdoing came to light. The football investigation also has been ongoing for more than a year, multiple sources said.

Yahoo Sports filed a Freedom of Information request with Mississippi on Sept. 2 requesting all correspondence between the school and the NCAA Department of Enforcement between Sept. 1, 2013, and Sept. 1, 2014. The request was returned Sept. 26 showing 19 secondary or Level III violations in that time period, with names and affected sports redacted.

The next Committee on Infractions hearings are scheduled for Oct. 16-18, multiple sources said. A Georgia men’s swimming case is on the docket for that meeting, a source said, but there could be additional cases heard. Mississippi is not on the agenda for that meeting.

Much of the college football world is focused on the state of Mississippi this week. The undefeated, 11th-ranked Rebels host undefeated, third-ranked Alabama and undefeated, sixth-ranked Texas A&M visits undefeated, 12th-ranked Mississippi State on the same Saturday afternoon. In their eternal struggle to move up the Southeastern Conference pecking order, the state’s two programs have landed on the NCAA blotter repeatedly.

Mississippi’s football program has been sanctioned three times for major violations. In 1994, the Rebels were given a one-year television ban, a two-year postseason ban and four years probation, along with scholarship reductions. In 1986, Ole Miss was given a one-year ban from both television and the postseason, along with two years probation. And in 1959, the program was put on a one-year probation.

Mississippi State has had four major football infractions cases that resulted in sanctions. Last year the Bulldogs were put on two years’ probation, fired an assistant coach and disassociated a booster in relation to improper benefits given to a recruit. In 2004, the program was given a one-year postseason ban, scholarship cuts and recruiting restrictions. In 1996, Mississippi State was put on a year’s probation, with scholarship and recruiting reductions. And in 1975, the program received a two-year TV ban and two-year bowl ban.

Mississippi State also has had two other major infractions cases that resulted in sanctions against other sports, one in 1986 and one in 1967.

I'm glad I stayed up for this one, this is getting good.

---

Wow!

 

A sack on 3rd and goal for Oregon then the defender gets called for celebrating on mid-field.  Half the distance to the goal and a first down versus what would have been a moderate field goal attempt.

 

Now pass interference and the ball placed at the 2.

I disagree with how they penalize unsportsmanlike conduct calls.

I do too.  It's college, thess are kids and I think it's fine to let them have a bit of fun.  It's not like he taunted a player or the Arizona bench.  

 

He bowed.  Big whooping deal.

That kid's name is Scooby?!  Please draft him Dave.

 

Huge play there by Scooby Doo.

In those situations I think they should issue the player a warning and then maybe if they do it again, suspend them for half a game or something.


I don't have all the answers but this game could go to Arizona all because of the swing on that play where a guy took a bow and that's crap.

I didn't realize the celebrations rules were that strict in college.  As I said, we're talking about young people here.  Some only a year or two away from their senior prom.  I think cutting them some slack in situations like that would be a good idea.

 

Well that's it.

 

Oregon's defense got ran all over tonight.  Did I hear them say over 300 yards rushing for Arizona?  Good game by both teams and both had things go their way.

Just to make sure I have this straight: If 506 Sports says Ohio State/Maryland is on ABC, does that mean I can watch the game?

 

The problem with that website is it only maps NFL games, so I still have to guess when the Buckeyes are on here.

I doubt it JW.  That's probably ABC on a regional basis.  Meaning you will probably get a different game on ABC in Florida than around Maryland and Ohio will receive.  I could be wrong so don't hold me to it but that's what I think will happen.

If that happens I will watch Florida beat Tennessee.

 

I spent a long time looking for a TV map that does not exist. There seems to be no other game on ABC at 12:00. So apparently I will watch the first-ever OSU game at Maryland.
