Cowboys vs Detroit Lions

Cowboys went up a TD at the 2 minute warning. Detroit just scored and then scored a 2 point conversion to take the lead with 23 seconds left. Jared Goff was picking the Cowboys defense apart. The whole time the announcers are saying the Cowboys are playing soft coverage so it’s like any typical Thursday practice for Goff pitch and catch. The reason I bring this up is because the whole time I’m thinking this was Stoops and Brad White all over again lol.
I’ll add a bunch of craziness just happened and the lions had to redo the 2 point conversion and this time didn’t complete it. But that’s irrelevant to the defense the Cowboys played

Should CFB adopt a similar system as college baseball?

If you sign with a university to play baseball, you are committed for 3 years or 21st birthday. Should CFB do something similar so that a FR who redshirts doesn't transfer 3 or 4 times in their career? How can a coach build a roster if 15+% of his team could transfer every year? Age 21 may be a bit too restrictive but a 2- or 3-year commitment, from both sides, as a minimum would be a good move, imo. By the end of a player's second year (third year, for sure), both sides should know whether the kid will contribute or not and make the necessary move.

Kids would still be able to transfer but the school that signs them out of HS ought to have some assurance that they'll have him for at least 2-3 years.

Football Playoff Semis

Michigan -2 vs Alabama
Texas -4 vs. Washington

who ya got?

Michigan look awesome on paper until you dig into strength of schedule where the wolves were 60th, while Bama had one of the hardest. I'm rolling with the Tide to win straight up.

I favor Washington slightly against Texas. Both teams had some very close games and honestly either one could have easily wound up 9-3. I see a close game so I'm taking the dog and the points.

Happy New Year… Let’s try to enjoy it

Happy New Year fellow BBN!

We all come from different places on the Cats, but we love the program and long for it to return to glory. This team isn’t perfect, but it’s fun. It’s also full of skill and basketball IQ we haven’t seen in years at UK. This team has the dudes to do something special this season. They have flaws and will hit some bumps in the road, but they also have guys who aren’t afraid. I’m posting this to hold myself accountable to try and enjoy it and not get so pissed expecting so much. We all want 9. We wanted that years ago. It will come eventually.

In the meantime, let’s enjoy the ride this group takes us on.


Go Big Blue!

Opinion: Justin Edwards

Ok I’m getting punked for this. For sure. Welp… here we go.

I think Justin Edwards has really played well in recent games. I understand the argument. He’s not the superstar we thought he was, he makes mistakes on defense, and the rim seems to have an unbelievable ability to stop him on dunks.

However, he’s actually been very efficient on offense the last few games. He has been quiet about it, but he’s put points on the board and has accepted his role. On defense, he’s making typical freshman mistakes, but he’s improving. He’s one game away. I really believe that he is going to have a game where he dominates, and it’s going to set that kid off. If Edwards clicks…we’re as unstoppable on offense as any team I have ever seen here. I mean…we average over 90 points so we’re pretty darn good. But if we have Edwards doing what he is capable of…yikes!

And he COULD be very good defensively if he takes it seriously. He has the ability.
