I agree.....crazy game, but fun to watch. Not sure how much can be done for the fake injuries. About the only thing you can do is make guys sit for the remainder of the possession.

Yep, watching Yellowstone….love it. There are 3 episodes of 1883 out now. It is pretty good, but anything with Sam Elliott is good. I just finished Hawkeye. Funny that I was never into comic books as a kid, but love the DC and Marvel movies, and now the mini series on Disney.

so? It is no longer about high school football; which is what this main forum is for. That has ALWAYS been the standard. I would add that EVERY person involved in the current conversation frequents the next level forum, sooooooo

Looking like the conversation needs to move to the Next Level forum.

Even with teams I hated, he still made the games fun to watch.

For years now, whenever I have said Brett Favre's name, I hear Madden saying it in my head.

Is this a topic that is already here? I could not remember....I probably could have started one much sooner than this. That said, I just saw this posted this evening. As a football fan, I loved listening to Madden's insight. He made things easy to understand, and it was obvious he loved his job. RIP John and thank you for so many great memories

Not sure how you gauge the "best in the State" as far as design and play calling; unless someone has access to a LOT of video and time to watch. I can think of 4 off the top of my head that I would consider among the best I have ever coached with or against. But the fact is that we put WAY too much on how good a coach is to a team's record; completing discounting the ability level of the dudes putting the pads on every day.

ND has had some good college QB's over the years. Really the only two that I can think of that did anything as pros would be Theismann (used to be pronounced theseman before coming to ND) and Montana. I did not really consider as much of a stat.........on the same level as osu fans that kept counting the number of days it had been since Michigan had beaten them at football.

In my lifetime, I do not ever recall ND being called a quarterback factory. The fact that Book is actually on a roster just shows how crazy the season has been. And starting? Even crazier

Jeremy Trueblood was an offensive tackle for Cathedral, Boston College, and Tampa, was 6’9”.

Lou Piniella highlights are pretty good too

Great win….put money on them to win the AFC.

Bellmont's boys' teams are the Braves, and the girls' teams are the Squaws.

That was my thought

The mothership heavily favors the SEC in football, and Duke in basketball; nauseatingly so in both cases; so we inserted those letters into “ESPN”

I see what you did there…lol and for College basketball, they shall be known as DUKESPN

In line with the airing of grievances DEFINITELY NOT suitable for work. But this is priceless.

I have a brother that is close to deaf, who tries the talk and text thing too. I am a master at interpreting it. 🤣

Slainte'! Salud! Prost! 🤣 🤣 sorry....could not resist.

Nope, no argument; just misinterpreted posts, and assumptions made.

Everyone who reads this, is going to see it the exact same way I do.

While you did not bring the word into the discussion (and it was unnecessarily brought in), quoting the person who did use it first and replying "helluva point" is pretty much the same. The fact is the discussion regarding who was deserving of the Mr. Football title should have never been brought in to the conversation. The poster who did, @Footballking16 has a tendency to take things a step too far, and too often. Not sure why personal attacks have to become a part of SO many topics any more, especially ones unrelated to any of the topics they show up in.

and Ryan says to Sanchez...."WRONG f'ing hole jackass" 🤣 I did not really follow Hard Knocks that year, but it was obvious his hardass act was having no impact in that room. Great message, but I am guessin they had heard plenty of those before.

8 is enough for me; and can fit well within the current length of the season/post season. 12 is too many; even 10 is too many as well. Whoever is the 10th ranked team, while having a great season, is certainly not in a position to compete for a National title. Just a hunch, but I am guessing in my lifetime, there has never been a team that finished the season ranked 10th that had any chance at a title.
