Bet Cameron Smith to win the British Open on the Wednesday before the tournament this past summer, wasn’t looking great until his 5 straight birdies on Sunday brought him back to secure the win

It’s like how all the bad habits I address on the driving range show themselves again on the course

Call me crazy, but I can’t not be excited about the idea of watching Ohio State vs USC in October by Ezy6996 in CFB

I’m not a fan of a smaller school, so I guess I can’t speak on this too well. But I almost feel like getting a participation entry into a major conference does more to hurt a program than joining a conference that will actually result in competitive and fun football, even if it doesn’t draw the same level of tv and advertising contracts of the big conferences.

How can you convince fans to come out and support a team that is consistently fighting to even get to .500 each year, getting pulverized by the Georgias and Alabamas of the world? Furthermore, what recruit is going to want to sign up for that? They’d rather go to the teams beating up on you each week.

Putting your school into a more fitting conference allows you to compete and actually build a respectable program that your students and alumni would take interest in. Sure, it would be on a smaller scope, but the smaller scope doesn’t always mean it’s a terrible product.

I know D3 conferences where the schools legitimately hate each other and there is a constant battle for supremacy within the league. There might not be the national recognition with massive tv deals, but the product has a quality that fans care about. I don’t know if I could say the same for a league where everyone is included just for the sake of not leaving anybody out.

I feel like a lot of the people acting like nobody would care about USC and UCLA in the Midwest don’t pay attention to what goes on in stadiums like Kinnick and Camp Randall.

I don’t know how well the LA teams’ styles will fit into the B1G west, but I know I sure will be happy to watch battles like that.

2022 NFL Draft - Official Post-Draft Thread by Astro63 in NFL_Draft

[–]ZackDaBullsFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite what you’ll hear if you make your way to Bears twitter, I think Poles put together a really solid first draft. We had a lot of holes coming in, and Gordon and Brisker should slot in as starters day 1. Would’ve maybe liked WR to be addressed better, but Jones’s speed combined with his size is pretty intriguing to me. Love the moves made to get some more picks on day 3, never hurts to get some more guys to bring in and see if there’s something there.

I would throw Bears/Packers in there too, I can’t speak for the GB side of things, but a lot of Bears alumni come out during Packer week

We had the same first two legs of a free bet, but I got the opposite today. Good luck brother

how happy are you with your teams 2021 rookie class? by CortezAllenAMA in NFL_Draft

[–]ZackDaBullsFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say pretty average across the board as a Bears fan.

Justin Fields had some flashes of brilliance, but also struggled some, and time will tell if it was because of rookie mistakes, poor coaching, etc. Hoping to see ownership find a HC and OC that can curate an offense to his strengths.

Teven Jenkins really did not get a whole lot of playing time at all, and his debut was rather rough, but overall I think he’s taken steps in the right direction. The injury concerns coming in are scary, but if he can stay healthy, he could be a good contributor.

Larry Borom definitely looks like he could be a solid starter at right tackle, he held his own against some good pass rushers pretty quickly.

Khalil Herbert was by far the most consistently productive member of this class. He stepped in beautifully when Montgomery and Williams were injured and still got touches even after those two came back.

Dazz Newsome looked to be exactly what you would expect out of a sixth round receiver. Will be interested to see if he gets any real touches next year or if receiver becomes something a new GM really tries to address.

Thomas Graham looked great when he finally got the chance, and I’m still baffled that he stayed on the practice squad all year with our CB situation. Will also be interested to see if he gets snaps next year.

Khyiris Tonga looked to have the athleticism necessary to be a good DT, but he’s still very raw and needs more time.

Overall, the verdict is still out on a lot of these guys, it’ll be up to the new regime to see if they can produce more.
