I'd say we're doing pretty well for only offering 87 people! Just donated to the Texas revenue monster by picking up a new Polo. I'm feeling the Herman excitement I guess E- I think it's time for a new av too if someone feels like making me something. I'll send you something from amazon or upgrades

Greyshits aren't necessarily always an underhanded thing, Iowa uses them a lot late in the process but they're upfront with the players that it's a grey shirt offer rather than a full scholarship. It's never a "whoops we ran out, guess you're SOL" thing as far as I can recall (and sometimes kids will initially commit to greyshirting and have it covert to an actual scholarship before they even get on campus because of a transfer or last second decomitt)

Scarf posted:https://twitter.com/BlairRIVALS/status/889994320237002752 It's interesting seeing the differing strategies for mid and upper level teams. A lot of the SEC throw out offers like candy, perhaps because they and half the ACC are fighting for the same guys. There seems to be 4 groups there. Those sending more than 250 offers are handing them out like candy. Some of those are programs that need to cast a wide net. Others, I suspect, are making "offers" to every acknowledged good player in the region in order to gauge interest. Then you have a big batch of teams with between 180 and 250 offers. It's hard to make any judgments as there's a healthy mix of top tier, mid tier and low tier programs in there. I'd say they're making real offers to good players locally and throwing offers out there nationally to see if someone takes a flyer on them. The next group is ~120 to 170. This includes 3 national power houses, but is mostly made up of 2nd and 3rd tier schools. These schools mostly seem to be following the scout, offer, build relationship model with players that are likely to commit. I like the comparison between Kansas following a relationship-building strategy and Iowa State following a "offer literally everyone" strategy. The final grouping is made up of mostly national programs and programs that think they're national programs. Also KSU (because Snyder) and Northwestern (because ??). A lot of those teams won't offer 3 or even 4 star players unless they think they're going to get an immediate commit. Stanford's taken that to the extreme with only 32 offers out. That's crazy.

Northwestern and Stanford are low because their admissions standards mean that they have a way smaller pool of people they can offer.

GT definitely functions like Stanford/NW and I'm not sure if Cal does but it is a very good school so it probably falls similarly in line. Which makes some of those other quality academic schools who claim that line of bullshit applies equally to their student-athletes a joke.

They're offering 48 more than anyone else and way more than other similarly situated programs. There have already been stories of local kids with "offers" trying to commit and being told that they can't, or having the staff completely ignore them. And not even later in the process when they may not have any room because they're full at that position (which happens everywhere, obviously you have to over-offer to some extent because not every offer is going to say yes) but with guys they offer a year in advance when they still have a ton of room. That's pretty lovely. They're not the only school who does it, but they seem to be taking it to an extreme MourningView fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Jul 26, 2017 |

Hey TFF, we're less than a month from real loving football happening, which means you aren't sick of picking the games a week every week yet, and you're still be operating under the delusional thought that you'll actually make your picks, on time, every week this year, so... Let's do a 2017 TFF College Pick 'Em!!!!  Last year we used Fox Sports College Pick 'Em, but apparently that's not an option this year. Fox Sports College Pick 'Em posted: jk, fine with me... I vaguely remember there being some issues with the site last year, so let's find a new one. Has anyone had good experiences with other sites? Here's what I'd like to find: 1.) Custom set of games to pick each week. Fox Sports had a bunch of preselected sets of games, but they never quite matched what I thought TFF would enjoy the most. But they let you pick a 100% custom set, so I generally tried to pick two games from each power five conference, with preference on ranked games, or games that people in TFF had been discussing the most. Also, I want to keep the set of games at 10, because after that I think it gets to be a little too time consuming. Edit: It looks like this requirement excludes Yahoo, because you have to use one of their predefined sets. 2.) Ability to pick against the spread, without confidence points. I like doing against the spread instead of straight-up, it's more interesting and more challenging. But I personally think confidence points make the whole task feel more like work than fun. 3.) (ideally) The ability to see what everyone picked in a given week, and the results. Fox Sports actually had this feature. It generated a nice grid that showed everyone's picks, so it made it fun and easy to find who did the best and worst, who picked games correctly that no one else picked, etc. Unfortunately, our group got too big, and Fox Sports wouldn't generate that grid anymore. But you could click on individual users and see what their picks were. So, I wrote a Java program that actually skimmed the HTML of every user's individual picks and generated the same grid. This was a pain in the rear end, and I don't want to do it again.  Thanks everyone - who will dethrone General Dog? (last year's results):

I couldn't actually watch a huge chunk of Iowa's 2007 season because it was the first season of BTN and mediacom inexplicably thought they could get away with not showing Iowa games (they lost a shitload of subscribers to satellite and finally caved the next year). Wound up being a blessing in disguise because that Iowa team was loving awful (although they did beat Rose Bowl Participant Illinois!) and I could just throw myself into the insanity that was happening everywhere else.

It's too bad Yahoo doesn't let you create custom sets, because they're pretty good in every other aspect. I like the ten games per week.

I'd say go with Yahoo. Not sure you can do custom pick sets, but the default set is usually pretty strong if you don't mind the additional time investment of making about 20 picks per week. The week to week team features are pretty robust, it shows who picked who for each game like, etc.
