'23 KS RB Dylan Edwards (Colorado Verbal)

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Didn’t know we were recruiting Rodney Allen Rippy. I knew he was small, but he’s built like a 12-year-old.

yes, a 12 year old who runs low 4.3s, makes cuts at full speed and has the acceleration of a Ferrari.

But does he lift, bro?

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of Edwards. I just didn’t really realize how small he was until I saw him standing next to the coaches. He is the Pocket Rocket and I want nothing more than him to ball out. … but he does look like Rodney Allen Rippy.

He is actually bigger than Rocket was if that is what you meant from your comment. If my memory serves me correct.

Rocket was 5-11, 175. Edwards is neither.

I thought Rocket was 5-9 155 when he was at ND. I remember a lot of fans were happy he went to the CFL because they thought he would get absolutely killed in the NFL. Either way I could totally be wrong on his size and am not able to really look it up and dont know if I would trust anything I would find anyway.

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

he looks like he just stepped outside for a walk before dinner too

Thats awesome. I thought the same…

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I'm just happy that I'm young enough that I had to Google "Rodney Allen Rippy". I shot a text to the old man and he knew immediately who he was.

A couple of years ago, my kids came to me and couldn't believe the front man of Foo Fighters was the drummer in Nirvana. This stuff has a way of evening out.

I’m over 30 and literally just figured this out within the last year. I remember Nirvana and the day KC died, but had no idea Grohl was in the band.

i remember as a kid listening to then current New Order music and older Joy Division and it wasnt until the wikipedia era that i realized the cross over

My kids at the time were 11, 9 and 6. And all of them were taller than Dylan Edwards.

This kid makes up for what he lacks in measurables with speed and skill. NFL teams have been far more willing to draft smaller RB in recent years.

Tina the bassist and Chris the drummer of Talking Heads both!

New Order might be my favorite band of all time, especially their first two albums

And they’re married

 

[Ophiocordyceps]

Talking Heads were amazing. Saw David Byrne solo some years back. Awkward stage presence, but phenomenal musician.

Keep waiting for Mariah to come in over the top.

Little insight for you from us in our 40’s who were in HS when Nirvana blew up…Grohl was the talent in Nirvana.
If Conain hadn’t died young, people would have realized Grohl was the talent. Cobain was just the face & weird one with the attention.
Just like Paul McCartney being a better singer, musician & songwriter than John Lennon. But Lennon died tragically and was the weird one & face, so multiple generations idolize him and think he is better than McCartney.

OMFG Reaper what a bad analogy and sorry you are a McCartney lover. I think Lennon is definitely the better singer and more creative than Paul. Yes Paul was productive but he also put out some crap too. Next thing you will be expounding the greatness of Maxwell's Silver Hammer.

You're right and IMO Harrison was better than McCartney as evidenced by their works post Beatles. On a side note when they auditioned Harrison, Lennon thought he was too young to be in the band (just two years difference). McCartney convinced Lennon to bring him on.

 

[ACamp1900]

I think Lennon is massively overrated and a general dbag,....

 

[IHateMarkMay]

I prefer Harrison, maybe we should take this to the "what are you listening to" thread?

 

[Irishdrunk]

Its All Too Much by Harrison to me is very underrated tune. Harrison is arguably the best of the lot. No arrogance. Paul was a total dick to Harrison on the last few albums and he never forgave him.

The other point is the Beatles at the outset was John's Band. John had the bravado and the balls to push the Beatles. Without John there is no Beatles. But yes he got tired of it later. I can relate. The only issue I had with John is he didn't treat his first son well at all. But his confidence and creativity were great.

Fuck

Prime Timed.


So he didn’t just go ahead and decommit in person when he could have I assume just the other day?

 

[sixstar]

wow, that was quick.

I guess this can be the new IE music thread while we use Dante's for food.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Wow huge loss for us, didn't see this coming. Think the kid is making a huge mistake.

 

[IrishSpartan]

He was my favorite in the class too
