Are they the same thing? I thought that was their nickname given by the fans?
wazzu is washington state. mizzou is missouri. whatsammatta u is where bullwinkle went to school
Gotcha.
So, how many wins does a team need, before the NFL scouts consider the quarterback for the draft? They'll be watching Hurts for sure, regardless of where he goes. Maryland went 5 and 7. Miami went 7 and 6, losing to Wisconsin 35 to 3 in the bowl. I'd say both teams are a re-build. Both will have a new HC. Miami both a new HC and OC. So, I don't see it makes a difference, as far as the NFL is concerned. If Jalen plays well, they'll see that.
Yes! I am not ready to count JH out for the NFL with his physical and mental assets. I will very much appreciate seeing him get a full year under his belt and hope that he lands on a team that has potential and doesn't play Bama in the regular season! I do believe he has a very supportive family who will help him as best possible reach the right destination for his future.
In terms of what? Surely you're not talking about Murray possibly coming back to OU. He's either entering the NFL draft or signing with the MLB..
I haven't checked the rosters, but I have to believe Miami will have more talent surrounding Jalen than Maryland will. I think that's what Bamabuzzard is referring to. Miami was better than their record indicated, IMO. Richt had just checked out.
If you are playing behind a great/good OL and throwing to talented WR's, then you will obviously look better. OU has better talent to showcase JH, just lousy weather.
The draft is an inexact science, with no uniform criteria that teams use when deciding on who and when to take a player. The player has no idea what the teams are looking at as part of the evaluation process. So I would want to be in the best position I could be in. Currently, at best, Jalen is probably a 3rd or 4th round pick (AT BEST). If Jalen goes to Maryland and they suck and his numbers suck. It doesn't mean he doesn't get drafted. But it could mean he gets drafted in the 5th or 6th round rather than in the 3rd or 4th. Which makes a HUGE difference in the time he has to perform or get cut. I don't know enough about Maryland and Miami to give an opinion if both are the same level of rebuilds or not. I don't know if Maryland has equivalent returning talent as Miami or not. But if I were guessing it would be Miami.
Agreed. I think OU fans hanging on to the idea that he would come back are living in a fantasy world. I can't imagine why he would come back. But I've been wrong plenty recently.
At the Heisman ceremony KM more or less said that he was gone one way or the other after this year so I'm not sure why any OU fan would think he is coming back next season.
Saw a tweet that basically said:
Good point - based on that OU is a no brainer. Both Maryland and Miami will have first year head coaches.
Like everyone else, I have no idea where Jalen might go. Just stirring the pot. But it would be interesting to see what he could do in Riley's offense.
