Where are all the ND nut sack huggers this year? Did you all finally realize how bad the Irish really are? I'm expecting them to get shredded and burned tomorrow by the Sooners. Ill say by 4 TDs or more.

They'd not be old enough to rent a vehichle,drink alcohol on a team plane or anywhere obv. Be living on their own for the first time ever. It'd be a complete disaster.
I am starting to think no one actually read the article. They are not talking about kids going from HS right to the NFL. Not at all. Can't recall anyone ever thinking that would work.

Well said. I will never support players getting paid. Let these morons go fail and let the people who want to represent their school and get a FREE education along with insane amenities play in college.

He's only a fan of bitter anger. And cheap beer. The two go together quite well.

We understand that, but the NFL isn't going to draft a player that has just been working out for 3 years. Delaney knows what he was putting out there would never happen, just making a point of how ridiculous it is, and how important playing college football is.

How fucking ridiculous was this by ESPN?

"Schools Purdue is recruiting against." Lists Notre Dame, Louisville, Kentucky, a few other scattered midwest schools and the B1G. Not a single MAC team listed.

Meaningwhile, they are getting destroyed at home by a MAC team. LOL.

Hell I remember hearing chatter from USCjr fans last year that multiple times the Clowney camp didn't even want to really play his Junior year. His stock, reputation, etc...can only get worse.

If I'm him, I save myself and limit overuse injuries, etc. Playing for a Sugar Bowl berth means nothing. They won't win the SEC East, let alone the SEC.

I think the SEC turned into an offensive conference who plays no defense.

So many mistakes by both LSU and Georgia. These are exactly the type of games LSU wins all the damn time.
