It's all over the ESPN CFB shows too (Natty). Never heard Tuddy/Tuddles tho.ImLawBoy wrote: Mon Dec 13, 2021 6:39 pm "Natty" is all over social media. I can't hear the word without thinking of Natural Light "beer".
I think (although I certainly may be wrong) that "tuddy" originated with Penn State fans. It's usage is much more limited.
re: "easy pitch and catch" it has become a staple of former jocks providing color commentary on football for years now.

God, I hate that term. It's almost as bad as calling touchdowns "Tuddies".

A SIGNING DAY STUNNER!
Top-ranked CB Travis Hunter, ESPN's No. 2 overall player in the class of 2022, has announced on Instagram he will decommit from Florida State and sign with Jackson State and head coach Deion Sanders.
Pretty sure the NIL money that he got for signing is gonna make up for any compensation he might lose due to draft status. The denied rumor was that it was a $1.5m deal.Scuzz wrote: Wed Dec 15, 2021 7:41 pm You do have to wonder how that might effect his potential future draft status?
Not necessarily true. If he went to a place that could develop that talent and get the exposure he needs to be first round.... we are talking 10s of millions in guaranteed money. If he slips from the first round at JSU (likely) we could be talking about him missing out on 10 to 15 million dollars. The NIL contract is rumored to be between 1 to 2 million.dfs wrote: Wed Dec 15, 2021 8:26 pmPretty sure the NIL money that he got for signing is gonna make up for any compensation he might lose due to draft status.

Remember with NIL money a player can stay a year collecting NIL money and then transfer to a school that's got an open route to the CFB playoffs. Things have changed.
There's also the risk/reward factor of taking a guaranteed $1.2 MM now vs. hoping you avoid injury and do actually end up being one of the best in the country for 3 years before going pro and getting $10-15MM.msduncan wrote: Thu Dec 16, 2021 12:40 amNot necessarily true.

Says the guy with "NC- that's Northern California" in his sig.
It's already been a professional minor league for years, IMO - they just finally agreed to let players be compensated (directly and legally).Lassr wrote: Thu Dec 16, 2021 9:28 amI'm not happy with the direction of college football, might as well at this point just call it a professional minor league. It was already headed that way but with the portal and NIL it happened faster than I thought possible.
If the greatest CB in the history of the NFL (who also played some WR and on special teams) can't develop his talent, and more importantly, get him the visibility, I'm not sure anyone could, especially the mess at Florida St.msduncan wrote: Thu Dec 16, 2021 12:40 amNot necessarily true.

You summed it up best, good runner, great athletic ability to escape pressure, but passing has always been inaccurate. His best season at Auburn was under the OC that is at Oregon now so maybe he's hoping that will help him. He's Johnny Manziel without the arm.Skinypupy wrote: Mon Dec 20, 2021 9:52 am
I don't know if this really makes them any better than they are now. From what I've seen, he seems to be in the same mold as their current QB, Anthony Brown. Good runner, but a very inaccurate passer. Maybe you SEC fans will have a better sense of what he brings.
And, of course, with the game on 12/31, they will just be getting symptomatic/contagious from any infections over Christmas...ImLawBoy wrote: Wed Dec 22, 2021 12:07 pm Well, COVID seems to be running through the Georgia program at this point, with multiple players and staff testing positive. My understanding of SEC protocol is that if you are vaccinated you don't need to test unless you are symptomatic, and at least one of the players (backup QB) was vaccinated and symptomatic. I'm hoping they weather this and are ready by the Orange Bowl so that both teams are at or near full strength.
Based on something I saw from a Michigan player yesterday, the team is 100% vaccinated and has a team event today for everyone to get boosted. Fingers crossed that they can stay relatively COVID free, but I don't know how realistic that is for any teams at this point.
Breakthrough cases are everywhere. When you only test the symptomatic, the implied guidance is to hide your symptoms.Pyperkub wrote: Wed Dec 22, 2021 1:03 pmAnd, of course, with the game on 12/31, they will just be getting symptomatic/contagious from any infections over Christmas...ImLawBoy wrote: Wed Dec 22, 2021 12:07 pm Well, COVID seems to be running through the Georgia program at this point, with multiple players and staff testing positive.

That's not how it will work. Everyone must test negative :LawBeefaroni wrote:Breakthrough cases are everywhere.

The Military Bowl in Annapolis, Maryland, featuring Boston College and East Carolina University, will not be played Monday, officials said. Neither will the inaugural Fenway Bowl in Boston between the University of Virginia and Southern Methodist University, which had been set for Wednesday.
The Sun Bowl featuring the Miami Hurricanes and the Washington State Cougars became the third college football bowl game to be called off Sunday. The game was set to be played Friday in El Paso, Texas.

The Hawaii Bowl scheduled for Christmas Eve was canceled, as the University of Hawaii withdrew because of Covid-19 issues. Hawaii was scheduled to face the University of Memphis.
On Wednesday, Texas A&M University announced that it would not be able to participate in the Gator Bowl against Wake Forest University on New Year's Eve. Rutgers University will replace Texas A&M in the game.
With the weather report we are seeing I don’t envy you that drive.Skinypupy wrote: Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:57 am If they’re gonna cancel the Rose Bowl, I just hope they do it before I spend 10 hours driving to California.

The general opinion in Columbus is that going to the Rose Bowl represents failure for the program and these kids are doing the right thing protecting their draft stock.
I think this game will depend entirely on tOSU’s mental state. They obviously have the talent advantage over Utah, even though this is probably Utah’s most talented team ever. We just can’t replace 5 star guys with…other 5 star guys.dfs wrote: Tue Dec 28, 2021 12:51 pm
FWIW I expect tOSU to come out flat and get pushed around the field. Hope I'm wrong and it's a good game, but I wouldn't count on it.
Sucks. We're actually in San Diego and were just trying to figure out how we were going to get to the game. So much for that.Skinypupy wrote:Holiday Bowl just cancelled a few hours before game time. Oof.
