there is a big difference between talking shit between perceived fan base stereotypes and personal attacks.

Gators sure as shit better expect talk about jorts and Hernandez. Aggies about 3/4 of a game and found championship. Auburn about buying players. Vols and Bama about trailers and lack of genetic diversity. Seminoles/canes about criminoles.

You're new here, so; as the only regular gator posting (nova used to post more), over the past couple seasons, you better fucking believe I've got thick skin because of my teams shit show. As a new guy you would have seen me roll with it hundreds of times already. But larryg wasnt talking shit on the gators. He asked half a dozen times specifically why my blackass carred about football. I don't know what his issue is with Jamaica.

I can take Sports shit talking, all day long. Thinly vieled personal racial jabs, not as much. I could only take his shit for about a month on that.

I'm a few pages late, but how is him cracking a joke (even though it was an innocent joke) and different from your constant knocks last night against Bama fans?  Should I get all butthurt and offended like you currently are and start screaming about you slandering my "ethnic background"?

If you can't take it, don't dish it.

Actually I'm not new here.  I've posted in these threads the past 6 seasons.  A shitload of people put random countries under their avatars and there are jokes every day on this site about it.  Until you pulled the race card I  had no way of knowing you are black or jamaican and I'd assume he didn't either.

Top 6 Running Backs (and only P5 in top 10)

Rushing:

Derrick Henry 1797 on 295 attempts (6.1 average)

Royce Freeman has 1706 on 257 attempts (6.6 average)

Fournette 18 for 209 yards

Freeman 24 for 325 yards

Elliott 26 for 176

Cook 22 for 218

McCaffrey 37 for 435





I don't think it's really all that clear that Derrick Henry is the best running back in his division of his conference, let alone the best player in NCAAF.

All he can hang his hat on is having a couple more touchdowns and a few dozen more yards than Fournette in the rushing department.  Fournette played 2 less games (Cook also played 2 less games).



McCaffrey is also the #5 kick returner by average yards per return (29.7), #4 by total yards (922)...



McCaffrey's stats look like an anomaly. (passing TDs, set ncaa ALL-TIME all purpose yards record set by some bum named Barry Sanders)

Henry's look like a top 5 running back who played an extra couple of games.



If Henry wins the Heisman they should rename it to the "Best Back on Bama" award...

 




Good God.  Only one player at Bama has a Heisman and that was Mark Ingram in 2009.



That's really a stretch.

2009 1st place: Ingram

2011 3rd place: Richardson

2013 2nd place: McCarron

 
2014 3rd place: Cooper

2015 1st place: Henry?



The point is that a lot of people want the award to go to the best player on the regular season's perceived best team.

There's a lot of people outside Roll Tidestan who don't think the most "outstanding player" is the guy whose stats are very similar to many other backs with the exception that he got the ball more.



Look at just other running backs against common opponents:

vs. Florida (#23 rushing defense in FBS (yards per attempt))

Cook - 26 attempts for 183 yards (7.0 ypc)

Fournette - 31 attempts for 180 yards (5.8 ypc)

Henry - 44 attempts for 189 yards (4.3 ypc)



vs. Auburn (#92 rushing defense in FBS)

Fournette - 19 attempts for 228 yards (12.0 ypc) meh

Henry - 46 attempts for 271 yards (5.9 ypc)  Heisman locked up according to pundits

ESPN had the game stats posted, I just figured they'd automatically had them added to the season stats...apparently someone manually does it, no wonder they laid off so many people.  I'm going to recommend spreadsheets and formulas to help them with the stats.  
Henry 1986 yards on 339 carries (5.858 average), 97 receiving yards for a total of 2083 yards
McCaf 1847 yards on 319 carries (5.789 average), 540 receiving yards for a total of 2387 yards

Henry is almost certainly the best running back on his team though.

I wouldn't average kick return yards because that's stupid but he now averages 6th best in kickoff returns ans 2nd most for yardage on kickoff returns
He has also passed for a couple of touchdowns.

Henry has more touchdowns (23 rushing) than McCaffrey who has 8 rushing, 2 passing, 1 kickoff return, 4 receiving (15 total).
Henry accounts for 23 of Alabama's 28 rushing touchdowns
McCaf accounts for 8 of Stanford's 32 rushing touchdowns

Your stats for Henry don't include last night's numbers, so it's really one extra game.  Those couple TDs count.  And I'd guess the big argument for Henry is that Bama likely isn't 12-1 without him.


ETA: I missed the last part, but your right, since so many Bama RBs have won Heismans over the years and all.

I'd say McCaffery is certainly deserving.  That doesn't mean Henry isn't.

The Heisman has turned into the best QB award with an occasional RB when there isn't a great QB playing on one of the maquis teams.



Clemson just isn't Bama, OU, Texas, Mich, USC, ND ect. If they were, Watson would be the frontrunner. This is a popularity contest too.



My personal opinion is that Fournette accomplished the most with the least. Everyone knew that he was getting the ball. Bama has a lot more options than just Henry.



If Henry wins, he will have deserved it though. He is going to be someone we watch play a long time if he stays healthy.

Michigan State up by 24 at halftime, the MSU fans start chanting "overrated" after Bama opens the 2nd half with -10 yards and an interception, leading to another Spartan TD. In the 4th quarter, after MSU has benched most of their starters, Bama scores two TDs, and MSU fans chant "SEC, SEC" as Saban unleashes the most chilling scowl on the face of the earth and eats Bear Bryant's hat. MSU goes into the final against Oklahoma after beating Alabama 41-24.

If I had that much of an issue of it, I would have stopped posting here long ago. Someone outs themselves, you move on.

Actually I'm not new here.  I've posted in these threads the past 6 seasons.  A shitload of people put random countries under their avatars and there are jokes every day on this site about it.  Until you pulled the race card I  had no way of knowing you are black or jamaican and I'd assume he didn't either.

If you had up a Somalian flag, it would have been the same.  I ain't questioning your race, I am questioning your honesty and that of all those who put flags on their avatar that are not where they live.  It's sooooooooooo cool and edgy.

Again, do you live in Jamaica?  You have never answered that question.

I kept it up because you won't answer the question.

Once again, stuff your racial crap.

If you think I am a racist, hit the goddamn "report" button.

Can someone answer this for him? I've directly answered it twice now, even going so far as to bold it for him.

I think Bama really lucked out, they match up very well with MSU.  I think Oklahoma and Alabama meet in the championship game and OU wins it all barring some crazy injuries (mayfield, etc).

Michigan State up by 24 at halftime, the MSU fans start chanting "overrated" after Bama opens the 2nd half with -10 yards and an interception, leading to another Spartan TD. In the 4th quarter, after MSU has benched most of their starters, Bama scores two TDs, and MSU fans chant "SEC, SEC" as Saban unleashes the most chilling scowl on the face of the earth and eats Bear Bryant's hat. MSU goes into the final against Oklahoma after beating Alabama 41-24.

LOL, no. That was pure humor. These two teams are noted much more for their defense than offense. MSU is more balanced on O, but UA is tough. In reality, I think it will be low scoring, more like the B1G championship. And I'm sure you've noticed my predictive abilities are severely impaired. It wouldn't be fair for me to place wagers on games.

UF/Michigan in the Citrus.

1st team with a field goal wins.






UF's kicker has missed the last 10 field goals.

Yeah, this was a total "accident" by the selection committee. Cocksuckers want to pit the two "coaches of the year" against each other, and all that crap.

Where?  I have seen you say your family is FROM there, but my question is do you live there now as in "Do you live in Jamaica?".

Sigh.

UNC-Baylor in Orlando.



Over / under on that opens at 80 in Vegas





I'd take the under. Baylor doesn't have the same ability to score like they did earlier this season.

Arizona to the New Mexico Bowl against UNM. Bad that it's early so we dont get a bunch of extra practice and little time for all our injured players to heal.  But we should get some early pub and the 2012 win was one of the best games I've ever watched.
