This is just funny at this point in a ridiculous way.

Not bad for our 3rd string QB.

Finally got Mayer downfield.

Defense and ST making big plays for the Irish.

Is Texas sure they want to go to the SEC?

Verdell breaks loose for a big one.

Favorite Team: Dallas Cowboys Week 1 pick: Minnesota Vikings I have read all of the rules and agree to them.

Game ended up being too close for comfort in the end. Had an eighteen point lead and needed to sweat it out in the end. Glad to get the win, but it should not have come to that. After we got up 38-20, our offense went into a shell. Lesson for future games: Don't let up. Defense needs a lot of work too. Jack Coan looked nice though. Plenty of skill players around him too.

Thank god. Note to the ND coaching staff: Don't let up on your opponents. That is a lesson they have to take from this. Played conservative at the end and it nearly bit us. Jack Coan looked a lot better than I thought he would.

Just get out of dodge with the W.

This 4th quarter has been one sick joke for ND.

This just makes FSU's decision to go for it in the 3rd quarter in their own territory look even dumber now. That is the difference in the game right now. Bad collapse by the Irish. Hope we can hold on.

Do we have to have so many nailbiters every year?

Coan's debut has been very impressive.

That call reeked of desperation.

Kyle Hamilton is a boss.

That no look pass LSU's QB just attempted😄

UCLA looking pretty good.

He is the same guy who chose Jake Fromm over Justin Fields and Jacob Eason.

DJ has a lot of growing to do as a QB.

Clemson is probably the only team that is even in 'Bama's league.

Yep. Even when he was at his best, him and the playoffs never quite mixed anyway.

Robert Lewandowski just broke Gerd Muller's Bundesliga record for most goals in a season with 41. It had stood for for nearly 50 years. And he got the record breaker with the last kick of the match. What a player.

I personally am more lenient on "grading" late round picks as they are really dart throws that late since the top guys are obviously gone by then and if you get anything significant from Day 3 picks, you did well for yourself. Round 1: Micah Parsons, LB- B+ I was really bummed that we missed out on Surtain and Horn as I had been thinking for months they would be our pick and would have been a great talent at a position of serious need. Once we missed on them, I like trading back and still nabbing Parsons. Absent another trade back, the only other guy that would have made sense here IMO is Slater. I understand why we went with the best available defensive talent and Parsons is a great talent that can make a big impact. LVE has been constantly hurt in his tenure and has not been able to impact our D significantly since his rookie year. And while I still have some hope for Jaylon, last year was a real setback for him. While LB was not our biggest need, fact is we need an infusion of talent at every level of our defense and we made the best of this situation IMO. Round 2: Kelvin Joseph, CB- B- Joseph is a good talent at CB, albeit I thought it was a slight reach (nothing too terrible). I am a little concerned about the fact that he got kicked out of the LSU program (that takes a lot to do) and that his focus may not be completely on football. There were other DBs I had rated higher than him as well. Still, a good talent that can be very good if he hits his upside, so can't hate too much. Bossman Fat is an interesting nickname to say the least. Round 3: Osa Odighizuwa, DT- B- Value wise, it is not too bad. I personally am not the biggest fan though. There were a number of other defenders I would have preferred myself. Like that he has a wrestling background, but is a bit of a tweener in that he is not quite big enough to be a 1T, but not really quick enough for the 3T (we have Gallimore for that anyway). Maybe we have him bulk up a bit and man the 1T. Round 3: Chauncey Golston, DE- D/F This one was a serious headscratcher. I can only hope the staff knows what they are doing with him. Most scouting services had him rated as a late Day 3/UDFA talent. Round 3: Nahshon Wright, CB- D/F This one was apparently Dan Quinn's personal pick which makes me feel slightly better about this. Another pick that came completely out of leftfield. Again, I hope our staff knows what they are doing with him. Round 4: Jabril Cox, LB- A About as good a pick as you can get this late. I had him going in Day 2, so this is a great value IMO. Like with Parsons, this puts LVE and Smith on notice. Excellent back in coverage. I hope we can get him to improve in run defense. Round 4: Josh Ball, OT- D From a talent standpoint, not a terrible choice for a developmental OT this late. Find it super hard to root for him given his character concerns. Yuck. Round 5: Simi Fehoko, WR- B+ Really nice talent at WR at this point of the draft. His measureables jump off the page, though he does not always play as fast as he times. Will serve as strong competition in the bottom of the WR depth chart at the very least, at best, he can justify us letting Michael Gallup go when his contract is up. Round 6: Quinton Bohanna, DT- A- He is the type of big bodied DT I have hoped the Cowboys to get for years. And he is also a guy I had mocked to us several times in mock draft simulations beforehand. Think he can fulfill an important role on the team if he can get on the field. Round 6: Israel Mukuamu, CB- A- Another one of my favorite late round mock picks for the Cowboys. Not as gifted athletically as his teammate Jaycee Horn, but still had a productive college career. Can see him playing at either CB or safety depending on how Quinn sees his fit. See him also contributing on ST early on. Nice value in the late sixth round. Round 7: Matt Farniok, OG- C Not very informed on this guy, but it is a 7th round pick, so whatever. Could use some OL depth on the interior, so there is that. Overall, I would give the draft at first glance a C+/B- type grade. Obviously, it all remains to be seen, but I think we got some productive players in the draft. That said, there were some areas I feel we could have done better, particularly the 3rd round, which was really perplexing (moreso the last two picks).

Not normally the type of person to say this, but all I care about is taking down as many Caps as possible. If we win, cool, but it doesn't matter to me tonight. The NHL has made it clear that they can't be counted on to police their players, so it is on us to do it. Edit: Oh yeah, and firing Davidson and Gorton is just plain stupid. Meanwhile, Quinn is still here (not that I am against giving him one more year, but he has not impressed me).
