Nowhere in the NFL touches college football. Death Valley, Kyle Field, Neyland are so far beyond what the NFL can muster and it isn’t close.
To be fair, Joe has never played at Arrowhead. Having said that, he is in for a rude awakening. There is no place louder in sports and it’s not up for debate.

Just a reminder that @Edwards_Bryan4 has at least one catch in every college football game he's ever played in. His 108 catches through 2 seasons are the second most in South Carolina history - trailing only some guy named Alshon.

@PeteThamel They might want to start with not tipping this thing off at 9:20. I watched all four Elite 8 games and both Final Four games and there is zero chance I’m watching this tonight. I have to go to work tomorrow. Can’t imagine how few casual fans will watch.

Today we said happy retirement to an absolute legend. If you never knew James Daniel, you missed out on knowing the kind of person so many of us aspire to be: loyal, hard-working, trustworthy, humble, and tough. He raised boys into men, and made this place better. A treasure.

Everyone wants to post stuff. Talk is cheap. What are you going to do to affect change for the black men and women in your community?. For those of us who are white, it begins with this: listen to the black community first. Read and educate yourself on the problems they face.

Every football journey begins somewhere - for me, it was here at Skip Lee Field. Been a pretty amazing 14 years since I left here, but I am always grateful for the place and people that first offered me a pathway beyond playing into the sport.

Other fun facts: yes, Hayden Hurst leaves as the most statistically significant tight end in school history, and arguably the best ever at the position. He also ranks 95th in school history in passing yards #versatility.

At @BurgatoryBar for the first time. Told guy it was my 1st trip. Seeing my Steelers shirt he joked that I must be a new player or coach that wasn’t from here. Guy next to me at bar said “no way anyone looking like that plays or coaches for the Steelers.”. So should I tell him?.

No returning QB in the SEC was better under pressure than South Carolina's Jake Bentley in 2016.
