Huh?
Bama has never had a QB as good as Tua in BFIVL's lifetime and likely won't have one the rest of his life, just playing odds.

I'll allow it.

But only worth 3 more points than the backup?
That’s a pretty big swing vs a #1 or #2 team for a player. It was about the same vs Ark also so I guess Vegas has pegged Tua as worth 3 on his own. Mac looks the part. Obviously hasn’t played much. 4 star kid with big arm.

Exactly what I meant. Bama has never had a Qb like this and will probably never again. Bama hasn’t had an every day starter at QB in the NFL since before I was born and have never had a #1 overall pick and Tua could be that. Namath, stabler and Starr were way before me and never put up big numbers ( different times and wish bone offense.

Naw. Great Qb but all time across CFB? Nope. Should be first Qb taken in draft. Is a tad undersized and not a huge arm. Injuries piling up also but plays hurt. Also doesn’t hurt to have the WR Corp in college that he does. I think he will do well at next level.

I thought you were shitting me with this name.
ToEvaDoIt is his middle name.

Good thing he is decent at football. These parents are doing these kids a disservice with names like this. If I was hiring j wouldn't get past his name before throwing the resume in the trash.

Breaking news:

NCAA will allow players to make money off their name/likeness. They really didn't have a choice here.

They do have a small write up now.

Here's a funny part of it:
"This modernization for the future is a natural extension of the numerous steps NCAA members have taken in recent years to improve support for student-athletes, including full cost of attendance and guaranteed scholarships.”
LOL at taking credit like it was their idea, and they wanted this, it's just a "natural" evolution.

Man, I hadn't even thought of OOC scheduling in a while.

Just the actual process of making out that schedule and talking to guys was one of my favorite parts of the league.

Nebraska will be right around a D as well. We can schedule a game in week 2, home and home?

1 thing that amazes me is how vividly I can still remember plays from specific games.


I remember being back to back champs and riding like a 30-something game win streak that you broke with Bama over LSU, and remember specific big plays at the end of the game.

I remember you getting a long 4th down conversion on your last drive, scoring to go down 1, and with just seconds running right up the gut on the 2pt conversion for the W.

Only one I remember is vs Big Mike. I busted a dive up the guy for a 50 yard score. About the 15, flag for clipping. He laughed like an asshole.

I take that back. I remember Dre Kirkpatrick having 4 ints to win me the NDL championship in the last season of 119 teams vs VTRunnGun

Amazing how we lost NCAA just as PS4 came out, and we will get it back just as PS4 gets phased out.
