A good time to repost a poem I wrote several years ago:Can you say “ bubble screen “?
A modern day successor to 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Brilliant.A good time to repost a poem I wrote several years ago:
Ode to the Bubble Screen
Oh bubble pass, bubble pass,
Your beauty doth shine!
Turn our first and ten
Into second and nine.
Why throw the ball downfield
When lateral will do?
Or maybe a swing pass;
Third and long is due.
If only we ran strong
Or stretched out the field
By tossing the long ball
With vigor and zeal
But bubble again, boys
That’s just like a bunt!
So fourth and five cometh
I guess we should punt.
I'm looking forward to the calls of "Fire Roper!" expanding past the bleachers of Wallace Wade.Can you say “ bubble screen “?
I didn’t realize the Ivy’s played with invisible footballs, but Barkate is excellent at catching them. Or pretending to, if that is how that works.Cooper Barkate Harvard highlights.
I tend to only read the forums and rarely actually log in, but I had to just to put the laugh emoji on your post. This was brilliant and made me laugh out loud.A good time to repost a poem I wrote several years ago:

Getting to 2,095 transfers in this portal cycle by Jan. 6 represents an almost 30% increase in transfers year-over-year.
Transfer recruits don't always pick the school that offers the most money, but make no mistake: According to sources, it's all pay-for-play recruiting at this point with parties operating with little to no fear of NCAA penalties.
The number of Group of 5 scholarship players moving up to Power 4 schools keeps increasing, and we're on pace for another record year in the 2024-25 cycle.
We've already seen 260 G5-to-P4 transfers this offseason with more coming every day. That's a nearly 40% increase from this time last year.
Tulane star running back Makhi Hughes joining quarterback Darian Mensah in hitting the portal was perhaps the most high-profile example of the talent drain in this cycle, as was Washington State's inability to hold onto quarterback John Mateer and its most coveted players before coach Jake Dickert's departure for Wake Forest.
The death of the one-time transfer rule has helped lead to more than 660 FBS scholarship players re-entering the portal during this cycle to move on to their third, fourth or even fifth school of their career. That's more than 30% of all scholarship players in the portal.
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's eligibility lawsuit is certainly having an impact on this portal cycle. The NCAA's blanket waiver that allows former junior college transfers whose eligibility was expiring to return in 2025 has opened the door for a lot of players to benefit from an extra trip through the portal.
This is key... and a credit to Manny and his staff for this outcome.No too long ago there were many who felt Duke could not compete in the era of Portalization. At this particular juncture, your Blue Devils are doing pretty well, adding needed pieces and (thus far this year) not losing anyone they didn't want to lose....
I’m not impressed with Beck. Miami better surround him with some talented skill position players and great blocking.Ex-Georgia QB Carson Beck commits to Miami
Carson Beck has committed to Miami, just 24 hours after the former Georgia quarterback hit the transfer portal.www.espn.com
Don’t forget, the undergrad portal is closed. Graduate transfers can enter at anytime. Thinking of how active Duke was last spring leads me to believe the same will hold true this year.Was hoping for more news at RB and TE, and possibly more. Has been very quiet of late. Any scuttlebut?
No, although Scuttlebutt is a GREAT running back name.Was hoping for more news at RB and TE, and possibly more. Has been very quiet of late. Any scuttlebut?
Run like this?No, although Scuttlebutt is a GREAT running back name.
And so close to Bubblebutt and Runnybutt, butt those would make your locker room life a living hell.No, although Scuttlebutt is a GREAT running back name.
