2019 College Football Thread

Leach is leaving Washington State to take the Mississippi State job 

[Meacon Keaton]

Sucks for Wazzu but the Egg Bowl just became must-watch for everyone. The press conferences that week alone should be worth Kiffin and Leach’s salaries.

Leach and Kiffin in the same state!!!!!!!!!

Average BAC on the sidelines during the Egg Bowl will be like 1.3.

Oh Trump is in this? 😕

[Meacon Keaton]

Clemson/orange joke?

[Meacon Keaton]

College football is so much fun, ya'll.

Burrow has a very Brady-ish demeanor, I’m very interested to see how he does in the NFL

[Meacon Keaton]

I think he'll be very good if the Bengals don't bungle him.

[gunnar hendershow]

Burrow has just taken over this game.

[Meacon Keaton]

I wouldn't count out Clemson until it's over. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Ok, now we can probably count them out. Good for Coach O. I love that guy.

Burrow has gone from Ohio State back-up, to just another LSU lame-ass quarterback, to Heisman, to National Champion, to (likely) #1 pick. What a story. 

[The Buscher]

LSU were just head and shoulders above everyone this season.

[gunnar hendershow]

It's pretty amazing. Ed Orgeron was a terrible head coach at Ole Miss. Joe Burrow just a backup at Ohio State. Now they're coach and QB of one of the best college teams ever assembled.

[Meacon Keaton]

Depends on what you mean as “terrible”. That program was garbage and he assembled a pretty awesome roster, only to get fired in his third year which allowed Houston Nutt to reap the benefits. 
 

Speaking of which, one of my favorite sports books is Meat Market which follows Oregeron in his last year at Ole Miss.

Travis Etienne is returning for his Senior year. 

I do not get that one at all. 

[Szumi]

Wants to get his degree, wants another national championship, probably loves playing for Dabo and the school. Good on him for deciding that's more important than money

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, some people enjoy the college experience. NFL isn't everything to everyone. 

[gunnar hendershow]

D'Eriq King is transferring to Miami.

That should make their games pretty fun to watch.

[The Buscher]

I used to always be in the “stay in school” camp but with the reality of injuries, I’m now more of the thought that guys should try to get paid as soon as they feel they are able...but even if they do leave early, take classes during the spring and summer semesters and finish up that degree.

But, as Meacon said, sometimes the college experience outweighs everything else, and that experience varies person to person.

Matt Leinart is still the top example of that for me.  With all the talk on Rodgers trying to get revenge on the Niners last Sunday, Smith vs Rodgers never would’ve been a discussion as Leinart was the clear #1 pick.  But he stayed in school and with all the pics that surfaced around then in the early days of social media, it sure seemed like he was partying all the time and had a countless amount of girls throwing themselves at him.  Can easily see why a 21/22 year old would be swayed.
