Currently trying to decide if I want an Xbox One or PS4 when they launch. I think PS4 is more gamer friendly, but Xbox has a better launch lineup and wins all the non-gaming components hands down. But hell, the Wii U has a lot of great game titles coming out too... maybe I should get one of those. Might pick up a regular Wii for cheap now so I can still play some of the old Gamecube games I've got on the backlog. Steam is PRETTY FRICKIN SWEET. I've just recently started my library. Bought the Grand Theft Auto pack-- III, Vice City, San Andreas, and IV- for ten bucks, as well as Left 4 Dead 2 (exclusively for multiplayer) and some old school Sega games. Got an Xbox 360 wireless USB adapter for $12 and I"m so ready to hit those. Any advice on PS4 vs. Xbox?

He JUST said we're in fourth place, behind USC, who he's already visited. I wouldn't get your hopes too high guys.

Texas sucksss.....

I get the feeling it will take an injury to get this kid on campus. Another Boldt-type situation.

Pretty cool bonus. Free year of Sunday Ticket if you order the anniversary edition on Amazon... Already got mine. And it was only 40 bucks more than the regular version with the useless Ultimate Team bonus...

Wow. Quality dude. Obviously nothings confirmed yet but... usually where there's smoke, there's fire. And I can't see a rumor THAT wild and disturbing just popping right out of somebody's imagination. Glad we passed.

I share those same concerns Dude. IIRC last I checked there was a way to toggle the auto sprint to "off" in the options, which would allow you to self-control sprint again. As for the DL, unfortunately, playing as them has felt useless for several years now.

You CAN import your draft classes this year, I know that for a fact. EA must've realized how much they dropped the ball last year and put the feature back in. I was shocked they omitted it last year as well.

Anybody planning on picking it up? I usually alternate getting one game a year and this year it's Madden's turn. Honestly the pre-order bonuses are pretty lame. Just some players to use in Ultimate Team mode. The best IMO is probably Amazon since you get Rod Woodson and Franco Harris. I'll probably get it there.

If he can be a big time DE for us, he can do weird sh#t all he wants. See if I care. Big if... But I'd agree. There's loads of great athletes out there who get away with being absolute head cases because they're good enough to get away with it. Looking at you, Rodman.

On Twitter? No in school announcement? RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!

Ok, after watching Haspula's vid, I'm starting to think Moss is just a weird dude...

PORK CHOP!!!

Still waiting for that Suh effect to actually kick in. We've been disappointed in so many of the "big time" DT prospects we've been in on since the big man left. Here's hoping one of VV, Curry, Williams, Collins or Maurice find a way to pan out. If someone could light a butt under VV and get him to play every play angry, it sounds like he could be a terror. Curry could surprise. Bummed Williams tore up his knee last year-- we were hearing good things. And obviously Collins and Maurice are total unknowns at this point, but both hold a great deal of promise. Looking back, it seems the "under the radar" DT commits we've gotten have picked up steam after committing and could be pretty damn good.

In their respective classes, Braylon Heard was ranked ahead of Aaron Green. Braylon was the 50th best player in his class, or something around that, according to rankings if I recall correctly. Just an FYI. 57th, he was the 5th best RB, while Green was ranked 61st and was the 8th best RB in his class. But if you break down their offers, which I look at when people say highly recruited, Green had 26 offers while Heard had 12. The only big name teams that offered Heard was Nebraska, Cincinatti, West Virgina, Penn St. Pittsburgh, Maryland, North Carolina, NC State. vs Green who was offered by Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida St. Baylor, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, Okie St. Notre Dame, North Carolina, Stanford, Tennessee, USC. Somewhat of a moot point because Heard was a known academic risk, but still a valid point nonetheless.

He's got to wind up in Lincoln right? This kid was the best player left on the board according to MLB.com's rankings pretty much all day today. He was projected to go in the top 10 rounds I'd think. Whether it be the knee injury or what, something caused his stock to take a nosedive. If he comes to campus you'd have to think he'd boost his stock and be able to get drafted higher in 3 years. Nice to get this talent boost!

I'm just kind of glancing through this thread. Looks like some sh*t hit the fan. Loving it in the dog days of summer. This reply makes good sense though. Allowing this out to be public knowledge is an intriguing motivational technique, if indeed that is what Mitchell is going for. It's one thing to have an upperclassman tell you to get your butt in gear when it's just the two of you. It's a totally different situation if everyone knows about it.

Holly hell... Some time passes and you forget just HOW mediocre that last Cally team was. NEVER AGAIN! Neat chart Nuance. +1'd. Obviously our turnover problems have a lot to do with running a spread attack with a dual threat QB who's always been slightly fumble prone (but seems to be improving). The fumbles that are REALLY concerning to me and we absolutely need to get rid of are on the punts. Not only do they give away a possession but they're a total waste of field position as well. I was just discussing with my buddy yesterday... DO you remember the last time we blocked a kick? A punt? Or really walloped someone on coverage teams? Special teams (other than FG kicking, which has largely been, well, actually special under Bo) have seemed to have become of secondary importance to Bo's teams. Granted, they have of other glaring issues to worry about right now. But the ball security on returns is one of the most important IMO and it makes me sad we aren't drilling harder for a very overlooked 1/3 of the game that could potentially help put these teams that need the extra boost over the top.
