You want old school ‘fro? Oscar Gamble who played in the Big Leagues for 17 years.
I would rank Oscar #1 for the fro. Bake McBride would make the top 5 list. Used love to watch Bake take off his batting helmet. Never knew how those guys could keep their hats on while running the outfield. Bake sported the classic beard as well.

Call it whatever in the hell you want but you keep hitting refresh all day looking to drop your next one liner on me (a guy whom you brush off and claim my opinions don’t matter.)
Called you out on your hypocrisy. And I’m not alone…which means I’m likely right.

He wants Tyreek Hill/Davante Adams money — $70 million guaranteed with a $30 million/yr average. I ain’t paying a guy who is half running back, half receiver, top end wide receiver money. He is also much more likely to get hurt than a No. 1 wide receiver, since he runs the ball out of the backfield and his receiving yardage is mostly YAC. The risk is too great to commit that kind of money to him, not to mention you’d have to give SF probably a #1 draft choice. No thanks.
I read where he wants to stop being used as a running back....don't blame him

Major league attendance this season....6 of the bottom 10 teams are American League teams. Teams that have had the DH in place for a long time. Should I believe that the Dodgers, Cards, Braves and Padres attendance is due to the DH? (focus on the highlighted home attendance)
Oakland is packing them in....2700 in the stadium yesterday......7 teams avg less than 20K at home....another 17 avg less than 30K at home.
DH is interesting....but as the past studies have shown... little correlation with attendance......

Probably a wash. Worst Ohio State defense I’ve seen in years, not sure it can get any worse this year. I think Knowles is the real deal and the last opponent he faced…Notre Dame. Domers don’t have the horses to keep up.
Will be interesting to see how Jim Knowles can turn it around. Had pretty darn good success at OK State.

Because being considered a blue-blood is an ultra-exclusive title. If we recognized every program who has shown a decade worth of sustained success, you'd have 30 something blue-blood programs. It would diminish the title.
Duke is T-4th all-time in national titles. Duke went to 4 Final Fours and had two runner-ups in Coach K's first 10 years. Duke has achieved blue-blood status since K took over in 1980. There isn't a question about it.
I've never seen Clemson considered a blue-blood in Football. By anybody. I've never seen them listed as a top 10 football program of all-time. By anybody. Because they aren't. Good program, but nowhere near blue-blood status and arguably not even top 15 all-time. The last decade, as good as it has been for them, doesn't change that narrative. Currently an elite program, but they need another 10-15 years of sustained success to even be considered, in my opinion.
So...Clemson isn't a blue blood, but Duke became a blue blood the moment Coach K took over the program?......even though it took 11 seasons to win his first title. He was 85-65 over his first 5 years. I am not debating they aren't a blue blood program....I am simply saying it took a few years of sustained excellence to become a blue blood.....but not your 40-50 year timeframe criteria.
If you would have read the links, you would have seen where others disagree with you about Clemson. But they had different criteria than a half century timeframe, in which I included.
BTW, I never said a decade....I just don't believe it has to be 40-50 years. And if we use your criteria, there are example of teams considered blue bloods that were dominant in the earlier period of those 50 years, that are certainly not dominant today. The authors that believe there are only 8 blue bloods list Nebraska, USC and Michigan in that list. Based on their performance over the past 10-20 years, I struggle with calling those blue blood programs any longer.
Good discussion....I was just trying to understand your comment about 40-50 years of sustained excellence to be considered a blue blood.

Clemson is nowhere close to being considered a blue-blood in college football. Not even close. They are an elite program right now but not even in top 15 or top 20 all time.
Duke has been good at basketball a lot longer than 2 decades. K was there nearly 40 years.
Just curious as to why it takes a half century of sustained top performance to be considered a blue blood. I understand an extended period...but 40-50 years??
Coach K was there 40 years....but his Duke program was nowhere near a blue blood program during his first decade. So even if a blue blood for 3 decades, he doesn't meet your 40-50 years criteria.
BTW, regarding Clemson, and many other programs....I guess it boils down to who is defining blood bloods. I look at the articles that define 8 schools as blue bloods and one could argue that based on the last 2 decades, they should be falling off. Schools such as Nebraska, USC, Texas, etc. But using the criteria below, Clemson is considered a blue blood.

How much of that spreadsheet accounts for pre-class football? I think you need at least 4-5 decades of some kind of sustained success if you’re trying to define a blue-blood program. I realize that may not be possible in Indiana high school football given all the consolidations and closures of schools over the years, but I don’t think recent success is necessarily a strong indicator of blue-blood status. There’s no question that a school like Center Grove is the premier football school in the state of Indiana right now. But historically, not sure I’d even consider them to be a top 10 big class program as it stands now. 20-30 years from now that may be a different story.
Based on that definition, Duke would not be a blue blood in college basketball.........nor would Clemson be considered in college football.
2 decades is not enough???

Add to this…it just came to mind, and it may be the only time this has happened, but the same person won the Mental Attitude Award in both. Mike Dury was the QB for Chatard and a Forward on the BBall team. The bball team beat Elmhurst out of Fort Wayne with James Hardy leading that team. Their head coach was an assistant principal I worked with for a few years at New Haven.
Mike was quite the athlete with a very nice baseball career at Notre Dame. Check out his bio

But what about spring workouts and 7 on 7?!?!?!?!?
Its commonly called "Frack" at CG.
Coach Moore has won state titles in both football and track. Guessing that puts him on a very short list. Has coached a number of individual state champions in track, some going on to have nice careers at the next level.

They are a legit threat to be top 5 at the boys state finals.
That’s not an uncommon result for CG in the Moore era.

Until Ryan Day can do this.....he will never be a top 10 coach......
Wonder why Kelly never broke this out during his ND days....who knew of this talent?

My point is simply that a wide receiver who runs a 4.65 40 is unlikely to make it in the NFL, if that’s really an accurate gauge of his foot speed. There are exceptions, but they are … exceptional. What did he run at his pro day?
Looks like he didn't run it because of temps....although I would have thought the indoor facility would have been heated....
I was reading that his 4.65 40 time put him below the 5th percentile for all WR's. He's ranked 1578 of out 2613 WR's from 1987 - 2022. Scored around a 4 out of 10 for his Relative Athletic Score. (original was <3)

My original post with the picture of Brady was to compare the situation they were in entering the Draft, not to compare the physical attributes of each. It must have been misunderstood by both you and Bash Dad. Bash even has his threads confused by only talking about the Colts in his response.
No confusion here....and my comments to you supported comments made in the past about a fit for the Colts. Simply clarifying my previous comments and I stand behind them. I hope and believe Bell will succeed....but there are questions.
Not sure why you continue mislabeling my identify....now that's confusion.

To those questioning Bell's 40 speed at the Combine, here is Tom Brady's official Combine photo back in the day.
Because QB's and WR's are the same???? They need the same attributes?
I didn't question if Bell would be successful. I questioned if the Colts need 2 of the same type of possession receivers, with Pittman already on the roster. If Campbell can stay healthy and with his speed, keep the field spread, it will make a possession receiver even better, and open up lanes for the TE's, and make life easier for Taylor when he cracks the 2nd layer. But if the safeties have no fear of speed...they will come up and shrink the field. That was my point about speed at the WR position. The NFL is not Big 10 football.
Bell ran a 4.65 40 in the combine...that is an eye opener for ANY WR. Hopefully it was a bad day, and perhaps that will allow him to slip down to the Colts in the 2nd round. Doesn't mean he won't be successful in the NFL. Simply about diversity needed at the WR position.

ESPN’s initial Football Power Index came out for the 2022 college season:
- Alabama
- Ohio State
- Georgia
- Clemson
- Notre Dame
- Texas
- Michigan
- Oklahoma
- Pitt
- Auburn
Unsurprisingly, it’s pretty much “round up the usual suspects.”
Irish currently scheduled to play 2 of the 4 teams ranked above them: Ohio State at the Shoe and Clemson at home.Wonder when Texas A&M admin is going to hold Jumbo Fisher accountable to deliver? Texas? Guess we shall see. They need to find a D that can actually stop somebody.....anybody.
Brian Kelly, with his new accent and grind dancing didn't get LSU into the top 10???
