Early Games Thread

Would love to see Iowa State knock off Oklahoma in this early game.

Just looking at Oklahoma early, I think we are way better in the front 7 than them.

Their offense would give us trouble, but I'd love to play them.

Kyler Murray throws a nice deep ball.

I don't think he has the arm strength to be an NFL QB, but I could certainly see an NFL team taking a chance on him as an Antoine Randle El type player & causing the Oakland As to sweat this one out

This 11am slate is really bad

I think the hurricane banged half of it & the SEC slate this weekend just wasn't that deep for whatever reason

UGA is gonna rip Middle TN State a new one. Can't watch anymore due to that ESPN Ladie's accent / voice. The fake over emphasis on the consonants is like finger nails on a chalk board.

He will be playing in the mlb not the nfl anyway so he's prob good either way.

No, he'll be playing in the minor leagues. He is talented on a baseball field but may not hit his way out of A ball. He's a developmental player all the way on the baseball field.

In football, he can go straight to the NFL & do what Lamar Jackson is doing for the Ravens this year.

Just because I know you like stats, at Oklahoma he hit .122 & .296 with a 26% K-rate in his two years at OU

Bully13 & Greenhead,

I hate both of you. Your posts made me change channels to listen to that.

It was akin to: "Hey, this smells like shit, bro. Smell it!"

You suck,

TUSK

Iowa State is a well coached team

I'll trust your word on the baseball front but I don't ever see him as an nfl player.

It's quite the conundrum.

Here is something for you: 7 straight Oklahoma QBs have been drafted & Baker Mayfield went #1 overall last year.

I think he's Antoine Randle El on the football field. He's absolutely an NFL athlete.

Do you take the 4.6 mil from Oakland & struggle through the minors for 5 years or do you go play for the Seahawks as a 3rd round athlete pick & be Russell Wilson's backup while also doing the Michael Spurlock kick return, slot guy role?

Oakland would get the 4.6 mil back but they don't get the #9 overall pick back. Has a Heisman Trophy winner ever quit?

I think Kyler's baseball ambitions were purely a fall back for football to make sure he got paid. He likes football more

Taking Kyler #9 overall is literally one of the most irresponsible decisions I've ever observed in the baseball draft.

Ravian Pierce for Syracuse just got a personal foul for hitting the punt returner after he was out of bounds....as a player that wasn't participating in the play.

I have a ton of respect for Oklahoma's offense, but they suck ass on defense.

They are like Ole Miss with a little more ability to run the ball & play defense, but not much.

I don't think they are a top 5 team.

A ball is quite a stretch. He may or may not see mlb, but he will see AAA unless he quits to play football

Of course he'll see AAA because they drafted #9 overall. Doesn't mean he can hit AA pitching though.

Have you seen him play baseball live? Just curious where your opinion is coming from?

Anytime Tusk. You are welcome sir. I'm not a sexist, I just like to hang out in Realville. I don't mind women in the booth for men's hoops, tennis & golf because they play those games too. In football, they should be limited to hot 10's on the sidelines interviewing players and coaches only. Fun to watch players and coaches trying to act not distracted by said hotness. If they want to interview in the locker rooms, players should have the right to drop their towels.

Yea, I said this.

Iowa St just tied it up

I'm not either, but a woman shouldn't be announcing football. **
