2011-12 Bowls: Late Bowl Open Thread

TicketCity Bowl logo

Rose Bowl (Wisconsin v. Oregon), 5:00pm - ESPN

This one's already in the 2nd quarter, but better late than never. The Badgers have one of the best offensive lines in the country, and given the play of the Rams' line this year early on when healthy, it makes sense that this would be a good unit to poach. Guard Kevin Zeitler's the only senior, but C Peter Konz and OT Ricky Wagner both look the part of NFL players. Scarily enough, G Travis Frederick might be the best of the bunch as just a redshirt sophomore.

Oregon on the other hand has plenty of speed on both sides of the ball. And as De'Anthony Thomas' 91-yard TD shows, speed kills. Thomas is just a freshman; LaMichael James, however, is a junior and as you can see on the MTD underclassmen tracker, he's coming to the NFL. The Rams haven't paired Steven Jackson with a quick-fire speed back since drafting him; James might finally be the complement to AxJax the Rams have been sorely lacking.

Rams player of interest: Peter Konz, Wisconsin C (RS Jr.) just slightly ahead of LaMichael James, Oregon RB (RS Jr.)

Final score: Oregon 42, Wisconsin 23 (and no, judging by that first quarter, my prediction doesn't look good)

Outback Bowl logo

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (Stanford v. Oklahoma St.), 8:30pm - ESPN

Stanford QB Andrew Luck and OT Jonathan Martin along with OSU WR Justin Blackmon -- there's a decent chance that you could see three of the top five picks in the 2012 NFL Draft in this game alone. And there's plenty of talent on the board after those three. Guys like Oklahoma St. FS Markelle Martin, OT Levy Adcock and QB Brandon Weeden all have a shot at factoring in the second round. For the Cardinal (and yes, it's Cardinal not Cardinals), TE Coby Fleener, G David DeCastro and OLB Chase Thomas could all be gone before day 3.

Rams player of interest: Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma St. WR (RS Jr.)

Final score: Stanford 51, Oklahoma St. 45

Go Badgers!
troll!
I am not a troll

Just a guy living in Wisconsin who wants the Badgers to win.

hehehehehe
Go Badgers!!
you too troll

But you already known that, lol
I am surrounded.

you better believe it!!
I feel that stanford wont be able to contain

Blackmon, also I hope we set up our depth enough to make a run at picking montee ball next year, I really like his upside behind jackson.

I want his O line

I’ll take wiskys O Line over ours right now.

My brother played against De'Anthony in high school

Didn’t even look like he tried.

I think DeCastro could be an option if we trade down
what I'd give for a Peter Konz and a David Decastro!!
that would be soooo awesome

Konz Decastro and Dahl would be unstoppable

Need O-linemen

why not Wisconsin?

exactly Wisconsin and Iowa

Wholesale houses for linemen!

Teams in the Midwest pump out linemen by the truckload.
cornfed country bumpkin fuckin big billy badasses
Those of us from utah

put cornfed on the O line and islanders on the D. Win.

Where is Konz projected? 1st?

Because if he falls to the second I would take him.

konz hasn't declared yet

But will probably not make it to the second, he and Decastro destined for different teams unless we could trade back up AND justify taking O linemen twice. Unless they hire me as the GM, (still hoping ),not likely.

Also agree on Utah being a wholesale outlet for cornbreadbumpkins and islanders!! :)

how have we scored 28 points in a half?!

McDaniels is a genius!

Why isnt chip kelly

On the rams watch list? /sarcasm… But seriously.

he's on mine

But as an OC only! I want an experienced HC now.

Keep mcd just until

We sign lloyd, then hire kelly lol.

I want LaMicheal James or Montee Ball in a Rams uni..
I like lmj for a change of pace

Back, but I like montee as an every down back. If lmj falls 4+ id take him but I feel montee might go too high next year, although replacing sjax HAS to be a priority…

Yea I can see Ball going as earily as the 2nd but I wouldn't want us to draft him that high

I think LaMicheal James is what we need right now though, a change of pace back that can not only run but catch out of the back field and blaze defenders..

If we trade down this year

And get a 2nd next year in the deal id draft ball lol

If we trade down this year

And get a 2nd for next year in the deal, id draft ball.

you can say that again
i know right?

stupid phone kept screwing up.

Have bigger needs than rb though..
i know, but sjax is gone after next year

unless i’m mistaken? and if thats the case we HAVE to replace him and if we have 2 2nd round picks ball could be that guy, unless blackmon becomes jordy nelson, lloyd becomes greg jennings, and kendricks becomes finley…

If we keep McHoody

We probably won’t need a dominate rb, we need a scat back that can also catch out the back field.

i feel like that is why we got norwood

i question james’ ability to take big hits and stay healthy..

Od rather get Lattimore next years draft

If we are going to go that rout.

*route

Grammar nazi strikes again!

if lattimore falls out of the 1st

i’d totally agree, idk if i’d want to spend a 1st on a rb though lol. if we did he would be the guy.

Haha my bad, close enough
ya see that?

Russell Wilson for Sam’s backup. Campaign manager here!

(raises hand)

why waste a pick?

we could pick up kellen moore in the 7th or undrafted lol.

I'd be alright with Moore

Like him too. But I’d use a 7th rounder to avoid the scramble.

i feel like he is underrated,

he may not be a starter but i would feel a lot better with him as a backup, especially over aj, moore has a great football mind, as far as making decisions goes.

I could not agree more

Wilson has him on arm strength, downfield accuracy, quick release and mobility. Moore’s got a limited ceiling but he’d probably remain a backup rather than get lured away with a promise to start.

goddammit
I hate Russell Wilson
Why?
he's kicking our asses

Levasier Tuinei will be the best WR to come out of UO since Bobby Moore (Ahmad Rashad)

Russell Wilson is a good player

oh and you guys just got picked off.

fuck me

I was busy.

Could find work as a TE

at the next level

just a quick mock I might be able to get some analysis and a post up later but:

trade # 2 to the browns for their two firsts, third, and fifth rounders:

1. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
1. David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
2. Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
3. Michael Brewster, C, OSU
3. Kawaan Short, DT, Purdue
4. Donte Paige-Moss, DE, UNC
5. Danny Trevathan, OLB, Kentucky
6. Chris Rainey, RB/WR/KR/PR, Florida
7. Michael Williams, TE, Alabama
7. Jeff Demps, RB/KR, Florida

Justin Blackmon still drops to us?
I think its possible

1. Luck
2. RG3
3. Kalil
4. Us: Blackmon

you beat me to it lol
Haha winning!
I highly over estimated the Browns position.

we would have the 4th pick
Colts: Luck
Browns: RG3
Vikings: Kalil

Cant wait to see what the unis look like next season..
to be honest...

i dont see ANY way that paige-moss falls that far…

a lot of people think that he might actually fall farther than that

he’s having surgery, he was benched, and he allegedly has some character issues

i stand corrected..

i watched him a few games early in the year, and i really liked him, if we had that kind of depth at DE, it would make out defensive line ridiculous.

But we have CJ Ah You...
that's why I picked him lol

that would an awesome D-line

I'm just kidding about... Never mind.
If lloyd does go Im back on the Blackmon wagon

Unless our HC isn’t afraid to trade back up in the late first and get Floyd or Alshon..

hey was that another interception ?

Hey what’s the score??

Hehehehehe

What about Toon?

He could fall to the second, and if we take Kalil in the first or trade down and don’t get a WR in the first at all, he could be an option.

we don't need to draft any WRs!!!!

Who knows how good the ones that we have are??

Are you kidding me?

Yeah. If we keep Lloyd, which I find highly doubtful, we need a solid WR badly.

This is the dumbest statement I've read on tst

How do we not need any recievers? If we resign Lloyd he will just be double teamed and coverage will be rolled his way. Amendola is good possession reciever but is good from 5-10 yards out. We need recievers badly. Pettis is terrible and salas is the same as Amendola.

Oboy

Every time I turn around it’s another one who finds out how stupid I am. Please don’t tell anyone.

Insane game

So uh, can I switch my Fiesta Bowl score prediction to this one?

If we trade down with Cleveland and Kalil is gone

Would you rather us pick Morris or Blackmon?

I guess Claiborne

depends on medical checks at the Rams’ Cornerback Memorial Hospital

waaaaaaaaaahoooooooo

Woooooooooohoooooooooo

Quack

if we dont get blackmon or alshon

i dont think we should waste a pick on a WR at all.

difference between Moore and Wilson

Moore would’ve gotten that play off. Wilsons the one who could make the play once he got it off.

Good job Ducks!!!

Woooohooooo

alright stanfords gonna kick osus ass
Alright time to put my tv on mute...
I love okie state's unis
I hate their guts

But their unis aren’t that bad looking, should be playing in the NC game..

Great counter

on that huge run play. That PA right after mimicked the same run, but Luck underthrew Meinken off his back foot. Just doesn’t have elite arm strength.

Youre telling me he did something wrong

NOOOO WAY!

if andrew luck starts praying

before/after every game.. i’m really going to hate watching football next year.

xD yea gonna kinda be unbearble to listen and watch

That’s why I have it on mute right now, actually more interested in Blackmon..

everyone disagrees but..

i actually like barkeley and landry more than luck… lol

Have to disagree haha

Laundry is overrated and haven’t really watched much of barkly. Even though I hate hearing about him luck is the best qb out of the 3.

someone must not have gotten the memo...

EVERY QB from USC is greater than ALL… (i’m looking at you mark sanchez…)

Damn forgot

Are the Jets in the playoffs this season?

no...

but on the subject of usc qb, i really wanted to see leinart do well when he stepped in for houston.. that dream went to hell in a handbasket… he is the only usc qb i actually liked.

Barkly has a chance to be good I think
now that utah is in the Pac...

i have no interest in usc…. lol

that's a pretty difficult throw I feel

for any qb off their back foot

Interesting question at WR

I like the thought of giving Cleveland our number two for both of their number 1’s…looking at the WRs…I know Justin Blackmon is a beast…but what if Alshon Jefferey is available? Dude is a monster and would ALSO bolster the WR corps…

Blackmon has separated himself from Alshon

And as of right now Alshon isn’t even worth a top 10 pick. Combine will sort that out..

blackmon...

we need him to stretch the field, we have plenty of #2/3 wr, with amendola coming back and kendricks we have the underneath taken care of..

DeCastro and the center

Got beat on that sack!

someone at taco bell was either high or drunk when they made this product
how come even college teams can make tackles in the flat...
No points?

How have there been no points scored in this game yet?

Oregon and Wisconsin took all of them
Like The Hits

Given Out By The Cowboys! Broderick Brown and Martin are hitters!

if we keep the McDaniels offense,

who is gonna be our 2nd TE in the system? Is Fleener a possiblity if we miss out on the top WR’s?

ty montgomery...
Wow, if thats how the OK ST is going to cover Luck is going to have quite a day
I expect to see more offense today

than I saw all NFL season from the Rams.

Dont worry

The NC game will make you feel better xD

Did you watch the Rose Bowl?

We already have…

Great Throw by Luck

To Ty Montgomery!

Are we going to keep Josh Brown?
Whoever told me Weeden is the best qb in

The draft is really eating his words right now..

he looks like $@#& right now

Choking like Lebron in crunch time...
Where does everyone think

Brandon Weeden falls in the draft…we can’t forget he IS like 28…reminds me a lot of Chris Weinke…he had a bald spot when he was QB for FSU…

I think it depends on whether teams sign Flynn and Hoyer

to be starting qbs

no matter how much they try to hype

the vtech game… it will never be worthy of a bcs bowl…

Damn

Only Luck could throw a great looking pick like that…

Gilbert Great INT!
switched to the mavs for a second, what happened
The unthinkable happened, Luck threw a pick

And OSU offense still sucking..

lol I'm a stanford fan and have been there in person to see a few of his picks this year

although it may seem impossible

No way!

I thought that was impossible..

Blackmon doesn't even average 12 yards a reception?!?

so he’s basically Danny Amendola

Umm

Danny A averages 8 yards over his career
Justin B averages 11.8, not getting the comparison..

Danny averaged 11.4 his senior year of college
actually maybe that was his junior year
Danny is 5'11

Justin is 6’1
Justin has way.more playmaking ability, still not getting your point..

11.8 yards per reception is very low no matter what the measurables are
Still a first down a catch

And has downfield ability, take him over Danny anyday..

just explain this to me

he averaged 16.1 in 2010, which is good. It drops to 11.8 in 2011, how did his stock actually rise.

Seems like a mid to late 1st round pick, not a top 5 pick.

Yea hes proven he can be a playmaker

Not really worried about it..

See?
anecdotal evidence
Welp thats how I see it
lol, Blackmon is reading TST
although that tackle was abysmal
missed tackle rather
Any other questions?
and because of that interception...

he will NOT be drafted…

what if Blackmon was on Stanford...
is stewart a prospect?
There's the Blackmon we all know and love.
Great Throw By Weeden!
Looks Like A Ballgame!
we've gone over this rule with the touchbacks twice today now
Tiger Woods is gonna be partying tonight
ok let's draft blackmon
GET US BLACKMON!
brinigng that taco 12 pack to a party

means you are a cheapass and idiot lol

But they said it means you have originality...
I'm totally gonna do that now
i for one approve of anyone who brings tacos to a party

someone brought broccoli and carrots to the last party I went to.

I bring beer

I drink beer. End of story

why are so many WR's these headcases
missed tackle and soft coverage making Blackmon look good.
Nope.

Blackmon who is at 50 % is making Blackmon look good. I’m sure you want to draft another “can’t miss” tackle huh?

no such thing as can't miss and

Why yes. Yes I do. You comfortable with our oline, eh? That’s like putting a tune up on a car with no wheels.

I'm not comfortable with them...no.

But you can use 2nd and 3rd rd picks to get OL help. Bradford even if given 10 secs to throw wont be able to complete anything if our recievers can’t run routes or catch the ball.

What I have seen from watching Blackmon the past two years

1. He is not that fast, but he is strong and is quick
2. He plays bigger than he actually is
3. A little immature, but he has a serious passion for the game that you cannot teach
4. Knows he is good, and plays with confidence

Blackmon is a playmaker

That’s all you can say IMO, he wanted the ball they got him the ball he scored…

Great throw by Luck
Personally, here is how I would love for our draft to go in the first two rounds

1. Kalil
2. Floyd/Jeffery- Maybe trade up?

we're crazy not to get 2 #1's for our pick

a trade down probably doesn’t even move us out of the top 10

I think Michael Floyd is being overrated

just because WR’s are extremely valuable now. I’d like to trade with Cleveland and pick up Blackmon and a Guard/Center.

i agree.

i’m not sold floyd is more that a #3 wr…

Some think Floyd is the best WR in the class

He literally had no QB this year and made some mistakes that dropped his value. I think he is going to be good

"he knows that hes an aggressive defender"

No he Doesnt, he’s just pumpfaking, my Jesus!

andrew luck knew he stubbed his toe 2 hours and 37 minutes ago

and that would take away from his focus just enough to buy a pump fake

idk I can buy that, someone watching the tape must know the defense's tendencies
Not you too!
anyone watching this Levy Adcock guy?
Where is he projected?

3rd round

he just got destroyed lol
is there any chance we hire the polians?
nah, it's Fisher for HC
PLEASE BLACKMON
even Goldberg can block for 3 yard slants.

Then Blackmon can break two tackles and score touchdowns

Wow Blackmon...
Blackmon just destroying people on the slant

something the Rams did 0 times this year

Blackmon is a fuckin playmaker people..
4th and %

Blackmon!

4th and 5 that is! LOL!
I want to see them give Blackmon a lob

I wanna see how he goes and get’s it

when I first read this I thought you said job

And I Washington thinking, I don’t think he’ll have any problem finding employment.

wow so much for Blackmon being immature
Blackmon just eating cardinal

He is just a good dude too. I’m sold

So am I, get the man a rams uni!
And....

he drops it

that means once he joins the rams he drops that and gets injured.

oh wait, we are installing a new coaching staff.

to be fair

that was a tough catch and he’s made catches like that all year

If you want the ball in the red zone

you gotta catch those. Maybe I am just tired of seeing passes dropped

yeah I think we all are lol
Retract my statement

Jk problem is I still take kalil before him and dnt see him available if we trade down past 4th

I could see it

1. Luck
2. RG3
3. Kalil
4. Us: Blackmon

Yea no further than fourth tho
Retract my statement

Jk problem is I still take kalil before him and dnt see him available if we trade down past 4th

?????

He was double covered and it was behind him!

It def. wasn't behind him

He extended his arms and dropped it. It was a tough catch but in my book you gotta have those

Wat play were you watching?

Was in front of em

Clemens, Alex Smith, now Weeden

wtf is going on

god bless her great story

I’ve always been a sucker for the cancer kid patients

Weeden just seems destined for a career backup

Good enough to make it just not start

Most impressive thing about him

He’s playing sick/injured..

You know I was initially against LSU vs Alabama rematch

but I welcome some decent defense after what I’ve seen this bowl season

Shaw might end up like Jim Caldwell...
Shaw could follow Luck to Indy

wouldn’t surprise me

No.

He’s a really good coach. What he has to work with is getting the best athletes into Stanford.

idk his offensive scheme seems 100% inherited from Harbaugh
So?

I don’t care who it comes from as long as it works

that's how it works

all about the coaching treea

I've been saying it for two months now...

Round 1: WR Justin Blackmon
Round 2: Best cornerback available
Round 3: OT Levy Adcock
Round 4: RB Cyrus Gray

I saw Adcock get destroyed already today
plus he really needs to fix his hair

there's a lot more wrong with him than just his hair lol
Iv'e never even seen you on this site.... Who are you?
Eh

Not my favorite

Sounds good to me
figure out a way to work a trade down into your scenario
Left tackle in the first or sam comes down with PTSD

Post traumatic sack disorder

Anyway Minnesota takes Blackmon?
with rice being gone..

i could see it, they have a young QB, and if they’re smart (non-spags) they’ll try to get him the best playmaker available.

not with a dominant left tackle on the board
Yeah Kalil is probably more valuable

considering that VJAX and DeSean Jackson could be free agents

Blackmon is great an all, but LT is probably the second most important position in football

and Kalil is at least as good of a prospect as Blackmon

Waay better

Kalil best ot since long.blackmon is flavor of the month imo

I put Blackmon and Floyd on the same level

slight edge to Blackmon, but FLoyd is the better value pick if we trade down and get 2 #1 picks next draft.

Flavor of the month?

Some of have wanted him since last years draft..

he was a mid-1st round pick tops last year and would have been easily the 3rd best wr in the draft

comes back, regresses a little bit, and becomes a top 3 pick.

That’s flavor of the month.

Jist because his numbers dropped doesnt mean he regressed

I guess if brees don’t throw ad much yards next season he regress, don’t bring that..

I'm just saying if aj or julio was available today

Blackmon would be a mid first pick, but because the competition at wide out is weak, he gets boosted into “elite” draft position

Khalil

Needs to work on run blocking and has trouble putting on weight. You cant have a 280lb who is 6’6. He has only put on 12 lbs since high school. And he doesn’t rank as high as long or joe Thomas. Don’t get me wrong he will be a good player but I honestly another tackle isn’t going to help our terrible recievers catch the ball

i was JUST about to say djax + kalil,

if we got fisher i’m convinced he’d be able to keep djackson motivated.

If they do we get Kalil

But I don’t see it happening, Kalil is seen as the “can’t miss” player besides Luck..

I want kalil

Or trade down with reiff.sam needs body guards!

Im on the Blackmon bandwagon til further notice haha

I think our line was playing fairly well before all of the injuries. But can’t go wrong with either..

it depends on the offense we run

If we stick with McDaniels offense we absolutely need Kalil or Sam is going to die, if we go back to the west coast we can get by without him

well to a certain extent of time before Saffold got hurt..
Haha true but they were gi ven up mad sax since week one

Kalil or reiff plus vjax or bowe and we kill two birds. Wnt find s lt im free agency

Either way I hope they adress both in a big way..
I don't want to settle for Bowe though, because that might mean that we don't spend a high draft pick on a WR

I want to draft an A.J. Green or Megatron, not a Julio Jones or Dez Bryant. That doesn’t seem logical, but I want to have one of the top 3 WR’s in the league to go with Sam.

Problem is

That kinda wide out aint in this drafT

I'm not so sure

Julio doesn’t end up being a top 3 receiver

Certainly doesn't deserve to be grouped with Dez Bryant
Dez Bryant can't hold Julio's Jock

Give it another year. Jones is so much more focused. IMHO he will continue to be more like Calvin while Bryant stays about the same.

Julio Jones is right there statistically with A.J. Green this season

if they played the same amount of games Julio might even have been numbers.

Im one of few ppl

Who wanted julio and not over green even before the combine

I wanted Julio because I thought Green was a lost cause

I really wanted him before the combine because he fit the style of offense we had under Shurmer, but then he blew up the combine and everyone wanted him.

Hell I remember before the combine it was hard to find a Rams fan who wanted to take him.

The problem with drafting a OT high...

is that a good offensive line is more about how they operate as a group and just because you nab an awesome LT doesn’t mean your entire unit will suddenly become better. Your positions out there on an island like WR or CB a legitimate play maker can make a game changing difference. At the top of a draft a team like the Rams needs to invest in a play maker.

I’d rather draft Blackmon or one of the DBs than Kali. Build the O line with solid FA signings and mid round draft picks.

though I disagree ....

This is the biggest reason I’m apprehensive about a lineman high in the draft. Best argument against.

whoever thinks floyd is the best wr in this class...

is probably the same person that thought alex smith was the best QB of his class… and i’m a utah fan.

In floyd's defense

Tommy reese is ASS

if Floyd played for Okla St. his numbers would be ridiculous
That's why I hate taking wide outs so high

You never know who might have just been a product of a system until the combine. If floyd or blackmon blows tht up… We know who is better maybe

idk it seems like a realtively easy

position to scout at the top

Ask detroit

Michael crabtree, mike williams, braylon edwards.

even those guys contributed though

Crabtree still has potential, Mike Williams had a great year in SEA, Braylon Edwards was a pro bowler

we miss on Jason Smith, and we kill like 7 different QB's
not when a guy is contantly open by 10 ft in college

all of a sudden has to deal with actual tight coverage. How does he perform then? There is a lot of speculation involved.

The passing game between college and the pros is so different.

I guess you should just make sure they won't holdout
Exactly

You hit the pros and athletic corners are hangin off ur ass and it gets hardto make those catches

that pizza print thing cannot be healthy
body part awareness

I’m aware of her body parts

Another thing to consider

If we do keep McD, Blackmon fits his offense more than Alshon and Floyd. McDaniels offense is similar to the spread offense and that’s what Blackmon plays in, we need playmakers and we can’t depend on high profile players to come here, when they most likely want to compete for Championships.
I’ve said plenty of times that the Comparison between Blackmon and Julio/Green doesn’t really bother me because the only thing they have over Blackmon is height, other than that Blackmon has deep playmaking ability, not afraid to go over the middle, plus did ya see what he did with a three yard slant? He’s a playmaker, that’s all I’m saying..

But will the new coach want to keep McD

or go with his own guy?

McD was a part of the reason the last coach got fired

I hope there is no way the new HC wants any part of that guy

It's not only the HC's decision

Stan was said to be the one that brought him in, if McD is Stan’s guy, nothing much the HC can do..

we're going to hire Fisher, and he's going to get a lot of say in what goes on
More than the owner? I think not..
Stan will easily side w/ Fisher over McDaniels
also, Stan is not even a hands on owner

he doesn’t meddle

Either way, I could see him playing in either the WC or McD's so I see no problem

Hell people thought Sam would have problems with the WC but did fairly well with it.

That way he can hold Fisher accountable

and go back to trimming his super-stache

I wonder if Fisher will have to shave before he becomes our HC

there can only be one

I think the glue sniffin will need to taper off too.
If Stan forces any subordinate onto the new head coach he's a fool

I think the fact McDaniel hasn’t been canned has more to do with his contract being for 2 years, probably needing buyout agreement.

Yeah - that's a lot of baggage
That's a good question

But if we did go back to the WC, I wouldn’t think Blackmon would have any problem with that either. He’s good at slant plays and is not afraid of contact. I’m sorry I’m pretty sold on him right now, can’t wait for the combine.

I read some where - maybe it was somebody's guess -

that the coach got to pick his staff.

Could be wishful thinking.

Could be but Stan is the one that signs the paychecks
well if we had McDaniels, we could have Lloyd, Blackmon, Amendola, and Salas
As usual, we don't have enough pieces of the puzzle.

Stan was silent til he pulled the trigger. So we don’t know how much notice we’ll got on this either.

That would be a nice unit

Then add Pettis and maybe DX (even though I think he should be gone) would make some good backups.

even I could make that read on that play

to call a slant for Ertz

No, only Luck could make that read..
is Zach Ertz declaring?
No, you don't go to Stanford by being dumb!!
whoa is this rams football
Holy Shit that's my exact thought

But na, Rams wouldn’t score this many points in a whole game..

But they just did!
are those the Rams receivers?!?!
It's is the RAMS

They still didn’t give it to SJ!

Oh crap

I just saw Spags clapping on the sideline.

I like the safety for OKST
I'm gonna have to look more into his tackling

bad form on that helmet to helmet earlier

What helmet to helmet?
at the beginning when Millen first thought it was a clean shot

wasn’t that Martin?

I believe so but it wasn't called so...
I don't like Luck

he seems cocky.

?

He’s like the total opposite

Really?
Very humble kid

I have never once heard him talk about himself. It’s always about his team

I have met him in person before at a charity event, great guy
Well then

I had the wrong impression.

I mean, the kid was going to be the first pick in the NFL draft last year

and came back to school to finish up his degree. Says a lot

you mean it wasn't just because he had a hot piece of ass.
I'm pretty sure being an NFL QB and Multi-millionaire

just enhances the ability to get ass

Luck is absolutely the real deal

He is looking off defenders, throwing darts, and really has a good play action.

too bad we couldn't have hired harbuagh

this run first, power offense, would have been great for our personnel. No Star WR, just an Amendola-like guy in Whalen, but three great TE’s. If we could have found some quality tight ends…

Would love to run this season back under him to see what he could do with what we have.
even lick can't do well with rams-level blocking
Our destiny could be to break down as many college all-star quarterbacks as possible!

couldn't we keep the bowl system with a playoff system?

the BCS Bowls could be playoff games?

special teams still so important
Great players are less filling. What?
GET...... US..... BLACKMON!!!
Who is Justin Blackmon?

lol jk

trade down with Cleveland for Blackmon please...
THIS!

I would rec it 10 times if I could…

who is running our scouting for now? Demoff mentioned him during his speech?
It's either Pee Wee Herman or

VP of player personnel Mike Williams is now in charge of all personnel decisions and scouting until a new GM is in place.

last time a Rams WR caught 3 touchdowns in a game?
Bajema?
I thought it was Robinson
according to wiki bajema only has 2 tds career

so worst guess ever, thought he had a random week light that though.

Oh I thought you were joking

so I kept the train rolling

lol no, I honestly some how got it into my head that Bajema had an amazing game once
He did.

They both came last year in the same game. Bradford threw 3 TDs in Denver, all to TE’s. Bajema caught 2 and UhOh had the first, before hurting his ankle and missing the rest of the game.

that's got to be the game i was thinking of
He then woke up with wet jammies
With the Cowboys
Larry Fitz is busy imagining playing alongside Blackmon
rams "ROY" award...

going back to Sjax rookie year, JL55 and Bradford are the only 2 still with the team…

I wish we kept Jonathan Nelson, was a big fan of his, and now he is starting in Carolina

instead we have James Butler

Not for loooong
he definitely seems to be better than

what we have… lol, chalk another one up to spags and billy.

He is not better than are starting safeties
yeah but he is playing cornerback

and playing well. another mistake to make him a free safety

someone already stated he is playing db

which was his original position…

Whattup Mo Fo's

So this game sucks, eh?

to a Rams fan, I think any football game is a good one compared to what we watch.
Not much to clap about...
this whole competitive until the end horse shit is

…well…….horse shit

It's just not healthy

could make you spill your beer.

more scoring

In two games tonite than in rams first 15

I didnt see any of the first 52 minutes of this game

how’s Blackmon been?

he has 3 touchdowns
you shitting me?
other than that awesome 21 yarder on 4th down, that is
Fucking outstanding
He passed the audition
holy shit blackmon
I want that guy!
Blackmon, gentlemen!
Blackmon kind of looks like Irvin
swirvin Irvin from Nascar?
Wow. They're gonna leave Luck with too much time.
is this going to come down to that missed stanford field goal...
I missed all the good TST firing action today...

everyone pleased?

yea, only one that's not fired is McHoddie, I actually hope he stays but I'm in the minority..
I hear ya

If I knew more of the scenes kinda stuff, then I’d be able to form a better opinion on the matter. The guys resume seems to be legit, and then it came here and turned into a corn-filled #2. I’m guessing he finds another in-state HCing job anyways

*behind the scenes
Exactly

I think they should keep him, he only had one year with a fucked over offseason. Give him some weapons to work with and McD can do it.

You gotta wait to see the whole picture

Maybe it will make sense when the smoke clears. No point on clinging to one guy unless he fits with the rest of the staff. Maybe he will be the guy.

Just hope they make the right decisons this time!

This is also true..
Luck is doing this with a pretty bad WR corps too
but good TEs and a terrible opposing defense
DeCastro out there
if only we had that no. 1 pick
would you take Luck?
no but the trade value
I think someone could even trade up for Kalil or Blackmon in addition to Robert Griffin III
Nope. The Colts are taking Kalil. Luck falls to #2.

Or so I keep telling myself

can you imagine the shitstorm
or they take blackmon

to give manning a young playmaker in their aging receiving corps lmao.

We have the #1 pick every other time.

After the first one

Blackmon raped that dude so hard with that spin lol
wow was out all day and just getting back

how is possible future ram blackmon looking?

Fucking Amazing, enough said..
missed most of it myself

hear he’s got 3 TD’s…….I’ve seen enough to be a believer in the one possession they had

if Luck leads a TD drive, and the heisman voting takes place after this game,

does RGIII still win?

Luck playing the best college football of all time?

Shut uppppp

Luck playing the best college football of all time?

Shut uppppp

Vince Young vs USC in the national title game
It's a headache it really it

I’d say Vince Young, Tim Tebow (yea I know), and Sam Bradford (the person who perfected the no huddle in college) played better in college, but I’m a bit bias on Sam so take it light..

GIMME SOME OVERTIME ACTION!
Send him to the Cowboys

He can be iced

F U Dan Bailey!
No homo

but Andrew Luck is quite the looker……if you want a guy who lives in the mountains and can eat freshly (or not) killed animals without a fire

who cares what he looks like, you don't have to marry the guy or anything
I don't particularly care what he looks like

but in high definition, they shouldnt get up in his grill. All I’m saying, buddy. You can feel free to continue defending him if you’d like

it should be illegal

for him to take his helmet off… at least flacco wont be the uglies qb in the afc anymore…

that unibrow is amazing
WE NEED A PLAYOFF SYSTEM

imagine if this was a quarterfinal…

ahhhh

I want a rematch

two missed field goals...
special teams special teams
I've said it too many times

College needs a playoff!
AND HOLY SHIT HE MISSED IT!!!!!!

How fucking crazy would it be if Blackmon made the game winning TD?!
idk pretty predictable actually lol
Hey don't ruin it, the only time in my life I'll EVER cheer for a cowboys..
Overtime should just be another 4 quarters
did this guy kick for 'bama, boise st, and okla. st

this year?

Luck lost the coin toss-BUST
Horrible decision making
No clap for U
how 'Luck'y are you

if you can’t get a damn 50/50 coin toss right?

he just dropped

to the 3rd day of the draft…

Shit he loses this he'll be an undrafted FA
the rams

would still find some way not to sign him….

GAAAH DAMN YOU BOISE ST
If I were Stanfords coach

and I had Luck at my disposal, I’d run it two times in a row to start OT

You beat me to it. Is McD calling the plays?
almost, and then he called a PASS play on 3rd

not McDaniels-like

that is their identity
chances he makes this one?
You see Romo's hand last night?

It was still swollen.

THis kicker is officially on suicide watch...
I wonder if he thought he'd go to the NFL
His Momma don't even know him
I feel really bad for Williamson
Laces out!!!
(and not on the ground)
whelp, way to take all the drama out of OT
has to be a turnover
I saw a hold I thought
Daaaaaaaaaaamn
OSU wins, game over..
peyton manning surprised by colts firing...

if they draft luck… chances he requests a trade and/or follows polians?

Is Ray Finkel kicking for Stanford?
that duct tape is affecting his/her kicking motion
gotta review that
yep, horrible call
can't college teams just get good kickers
the final rankings would be completely different
Just end the game. It's over.
Big Defensive stand!
future ram kicker
it makes no sense but throw the fade to blackmon
Stanford needs to get their 6'8 TE out there
oh FFS icing the kicker really
It worked once..
correlation is not causation
He looks like the little kid from Modern Family
matt dodge

feels bad for stanfords kicker…

Congrats to the newest St. Louis Ram!

what if he kicked it too high lol
Adios muchachos!

it’s been real

only the ducks won no other pa
c-12 teams
ummmm...

i’m pretty sure utah won the sun bowl?

fuck those luck puns seriously
blackmon declares!
Blackmon is officially entering the draft!

Blackmon to Rams is all!

just thinking that
That, my friends, is a declaration.
so sidenote

williamson probably wont be allowed back in his dorm

Not allowed back on campus...
His room is already on fire
Wouldn't doubt it..
or...

the state…

I live near Stanford campus lol
Can you see the smoke?
Swirleys for life
so...

if the colts draft blackmon to help out manning, would that be good or bad for us?

Well then we could hold Luck for ransom, so good..
not happening lol

RGIII 2% chance
Kalil 1%

assuming they hire an idiot
has devaney

interviewed for them?

hypothetical: if weeden had blown the game,

could Gundy have gone on another rant on not picking on students because Weeden is 28?

good timing on this post, you get a gold star
Is that Oprah?
i cant believe you just said that..

cant even recognize the first lady..

the fiesta bowl causes me nothing but pain
fuck this corporate bullshit with the Tostitos
There's a bag under each seat
no way OSU becomes no. 1 considering they

would have lost other than 2 and kind of 3 missed field goals

wait a second...

that sounds familiar
