OLine perspective: 14 available choices (Chan out) therefore seven each side. Seniors Correll and Kristofic pre-draft anchors of interiors for both sides. Alt and Fisher first picks as no surprise. Both teams need a second tackle, and Wagner picked ahead of Spindler --- someone here said Spindler picked last, which was not true --- I hate that. If so, it would have meant that an EE had outperformed him. One team badly needed a center and picked Craig. The other wanted high quality and picked Schrauth to big cheers. Wagner also got big cheers. Baker was picked ahead of Carmody who was last in the interior OLine department, while EE Pendleton was last in the Tackle department.

I like Hartman's line more than Buchner's. Alt// Murphy// Correll// Schrauth// Wagner vs Baker// Kristofic// Craig// Coogan// Fisher --- BUT would really like to see them play the game. ... which I won't be able to thanks to NBC.

We have some people on here who understand OLine play --- after you finish the ontime action, could you rewatch it and give me as much a breakdown as you can? I'd REALLY like to hear about how they did.

I'm particularly interested in knowing if Zeke has improved upon his anti-bullrush strength (not to worry about the simple bendback business --- that happened with Mustipher all the time. Sam got to where he would nearly buckle back, but still hold the ground.) Secondly, how does Fisher look? In shape and high energy? Any improvement on quickness vs the speed rush and spin? Are Schrauth's sticky hands as advertised --- like Braxton Cave, does once he get you, you're got? How generally do Kristofic and Wagner look? etc.

Any of that sort of thing will be much appreciated.

OMM, how is NBC keeping you from watching?

Old Man; Retirement home system; Out of date computer; "special action required" to overcome situation.

When you are old, and energy draining down, and more and more dependent upon existing in-state systems, and not wealthy, and, frankly, not up anymore for much invasive disruptive crap, then you sit back and "get satisfied" with non-ideal things. The saving grace of this is that you realize that there is almost nothing really necessary to have watched anyway. Life, in these Golden Years, is not as much Gold&Blue as it is your soul, GOD and the Golden Sunset. ........... and all of that is OK.

Technically, Pendleton was the last OC/OG after the Gold team made Spindler the last official pick. Pendleton then was the only OC/OG left and defaulted to the other team, so Spindler wasn't last but he was 2nd to last in that position group.

Baker and Carmody were listed in the OT group for drafting purposes. Both were taken after Wagner (as you mentioned).

Seriously how many of the same shirt with these faceless/vague figures that look like they’re trying to imitate something from a Monet/Gideon Rubin lovechild.

Something that looks like it was designed in the 21st century would be amazing.

As a man who sells hundreds of thousands of tee shirts a year geared primarily towards athletic organizations, I can say there is no excuse for them to do not do better.

Did Lo Styles really enter the portal? Didn’t see anything on here today and just opened up YouTube and the thumbnail for a Driskell video says just that. Again, surprised that I didn’t see it on here first

I’m not even finding his thread. ‘21 class correct? I might’ve somehow hid it on accident
Edit: search found it but for some reason it doesn’t show in the ‘21 recruiting thread

All you need is an i phone or a computer and internet access (and $4.99) to get Peacock.
It’ll no doubt be on You Tube in its entirety shortly after the game ends

You haven't tried yelling at clouds to fix the problem?

Disappointing...

I am looking forward to seeing how our WR's play. Per the reports Rico, Greathouse, and James have all benefited from enrolling early. I think they are all setting themselves up for a nice reserve role for the year.

You really don’t have to sign up.
It’s 5 bucks a month, & you can cancel any time.
So you basically pay 5 bucks to watch the game, then cancel.
So just look at it as you are paying 5 dollars to watch the game.

True, but I just keep it because they carry all the home games as well. I really don’t find it that bad except for it always seems like the volume gets turned down when ND scores or the defense makes a big play. SEC games on tv sound like a rock concert in comparison. Or it could just be that quite in the stadium.
