NFL Draft notes - college football open thread
So we ushered in the college football week earlier with a look at the WR Big Boards from myself and buckeyefan55. Good convo over there; feel free to chime in on what has become a Alshon v. Blackmon debate (and I expect it to stay that way unless our reserve corners play so badly it scares people into pulling for a corner in round 1).
But there are many other positions in the game of football besides wide receiver. Should you not know this, why not watch a contest of the sport in question with valiant athletes competing in a structured environment iudex accensus? From the silly to the sillier: Western Kentucky at Middle Tennessee St. (ESPNU, 7:30pm)
Not much to watch, although Lil' Bobby Rainey on WKU is fun to watch. He's tiny, and he's quick. And the Hilltoppers' ILB, Andrew Jackson, is a machine. As an NFL prospect, though, he's pretty slow out of the blocks. Let's keep moving...
I do have the other game on the week 6 watchlist (which has 3 games and now includes stock movement for previously included games...seriously, check it out): Cal-Oregon (ESPN, 9:00pm). I'll let the watchlist speak for itself on this game as a whole, but keep an eye out for Oregon FS John Boyett. He's had some big games against LSU and Arizona; if he continues to play well as the passing defense valve at the back of the Ducks' defense, he could find himself being selected on day two (should he declare - he's still just a junior).
So hit it up here for the night. Yay football.

Ewwww we got oregon....
This game might get ugly… GET EM CAL!
Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.
Draft Prospects Cal and Oregon
CB Cliff Harris 5’11 165# Oregon. Suspended for the 1st 3 games of 2011; Harris had a quiet debut against Arizona with 3 solo TKL’s. In 2010 Harris had 6 INT’s with one returned for a TD. He also had 4 TD’s as a punt returner. Harris was used in kick off returns for a total of 143 yards on 7 returns. LB Mychal Kendricks 6’1 240# Cal. In 2010 Kendricks played OLB and garnered 15 TFL’s 8 sacks and an INT. He has sinced moved to ILB in a 3-4. He has 1 sack thus far in 2011. Looking forward to watching them both this evening.
The bigger question isn't are we gonna get Jefferey, it's what are we gonna call him.
Optimus. And if we get Claiborne or Jenkins in the second, we gotta call him StarScream, cause they just swoop in and take people down

but then megatron owns them
and they’re a little bitch.
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
I know, but Jenkins just looks like StarScream
He’s got an actual wing like wingspan. Would you prefer to call them Ratchet (due to corners usually being small)

That's not that awesome, no offense
I just associate hornet names with that awful Seth Rogen movie
by King Sam Rules! on Oct 6, 2011 8:10 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
or spitfire?
those are both cool planes
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
I'm likin g Unicron
They swallow up anything, and crush everything thing in front of them. That covers Jenkins ability to cover recievers and light up a qb
by King Sam Rules! on Oct 6, 2011 8:14 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
didn't know Unicorns swallowed
but kinda expected it :p
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
Ha
Unicron. The baddest of the bad in Transformers.
by King Sam Rules! on Oct 6, 2011 8:17 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
And continuing the transformer reference
You could call our whole team The Fallen at this point

Danny is Bumblebee!
Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.
I guess we could call them Unicron
Cause they swallow up anything. Who needs and island when you have a black hole?

cal needs to keep up that fast O
and stop the ducks
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
So basically, they need to score more than their opponent
Thank you Stan Van Gundy
by King Sam Rules! on Oct 6, 2011 8:15 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
They also might not allow that
by King Sam Rules! on Oct 6, 2011 8:16 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
hope some LB smokes LMJ
or Thomas. Screw them both
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
Damn
This kid for Cal can kick. Not a great leg, but damn good accuracy. That third FG barely crept over the bar from 54, but it was right down the middle

yup, great kick
they’re totally in this game
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
Darron Thomas better be getting a good degree
cause he’s a shitty QB
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
entirely limited by system
but athletic. Like I said in the watchlist, 5th round or later

If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
Keenan Allen on the TD
BEAST athlete WR. Legit prospect.

"my keyboard won't corporate, neighter will my smell check." - Knoxfan
he's only a soph
and idk if he really is a good WR yet
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
oh, come on Beaver...
You don’t know if he’s really a good WR yet? What is it you need to see? Very fluid, great zone awareness, solid hands, great second gear…if he was on Oregon St. you’d be pimpin him all over TST!

yeah, he just ran that crossing route kinda weak
could’ve caught it, but instead of moving his whole body to the ball he just reached and dropped it. but other catches were great.
I just don’t know if a lot of it is due to his brother throwing it to him, so he has nearly perfect timing
If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
he should have caught it
I think he was scared of the contact. Gotta go 100% on that. But you saw how open he was. He finds zone space so easily

You back for good, or just temporarily?

And for all my other college fans
PLEASE watch College Gameday this Saturday. RRR is a great atmosphere. Texas & OU fans, State Fair (about 4 minutes from where I grew up), great beer, the most incredible fried foods ever…I miss it. But check it out. Gives you a better sense of Dallas as a city than any Cowboys game on national TV.

Really wish Texas was better this year
Would have set up one of those classic RRR games. Still could be special though. And yes, the food this year is as wacky as ever.

If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev

If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev

halftime adjustment much? Chip’s too good for this one. Cal showed some fight in the first half though
