2013 NCAA Football Thread

The guy in front is freshman running back Derrick Henry. He left HS early to come to Alabama. He should be in the second semester of his senior year of HS right now.

The guy behind him is 6' 1" and weighs 246 lbs.

Our running backs might kill people this year...

 

^^Dayum! Looks more like a defensive end.

 

Make Henry a linebacker......please!

 

Our running backs don't get past 225 our fullback is close to 230.

 

Just checked, the biggest guy running the ball for us is Dak Prescott, our backup qb who is 6'3" and 230.

 

Just had to add something:















COACH!

 

We had a freshman FB last year that was 6'2" 262 lbs. And had a freshman RB that was 6' 236. But thatw as it. Holy crap that guy is a monster RB. Gurley was only 6'1" 218, although he's supposedly trimmed up and bulked up this year.

 

If we're gonna start that

 

Anyone know if the G day game is on any other channel than CSS? I have Direct tv so I don't get CSS.

 

Reminds me a little of this dude ( Parker Osterloh)..... 6'8" and weighs 330. He graduated H.S. early and is now a Freshie at VT..

 

wow

I never found it while I was at work. We have a terrible TV package, but I don't think it was on anywhere. Glad I saw this. Reminds me to go try to find some stats or somethin from it.

 

Mississippi State picked to lose opener

Mississippi State was an overwhelming pick by the fans as the SEC team most likely to lose its 2013 opener.

The Bulldogs open the season against Oklahoma State on Aug. 31 at Houston's Reliant Stadium. Oklahoma State was ranked No. 20 in colleague Mark Schlabach's 2013 Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25.

With more than 11,800 votes cast in our SportsNation poll, 56 percent of the fans voting picked Mississippi State to lose to Oklahoma State. Georgia was tabbed as the SEC's second most likely team to lose opening week with 29 percent of the fans picking the Bulldogs to lose at Clemson, which was No. 11 in Schlabach's preseason poll.

Third place went to LSU, which faces TCU in Arlington, Texas, to open the season. The Tigers got 9 percent of the vote.

Fourth place went to Alabama, which plays Virginia Tech in Atlanta in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. The Crimson Tide received 4 percent.

Only 2 percent of the fans voted for South Carolina to lose at home to North Carolina.

Sounds about right.

 

29% picking Georgia to lose was a surprise....but this "is" just a bunch of fans clicking a button on ESPN.com

 

I can see it happening. I might go batsh*t crazy if we do...but I can see it.

 

I gotta see batsh*t crazy......post some pics if it happens!

 

I sure hope we don't lose, but Ok State is a pretty good team. At least offensively. I'm not sure if our secondary can handle their receivers and if our offense can keep up. We'll see. I think it is a great matchup and can go either way.

 

It was supposed to be aired on Comcast. I love my Direct TV but several times games have been on Comcast that I couldn't get. Last year DTV picked up Comcast as part of a sports package so I subscribed to so I could watch one of the UGA games (I think it was Fl. Atlantic) and it was blacked out. WTF? Needless to say I was pissed.
