Recruiting rundown with Ben Simmons

Running back MarShawn Lloyd committed to the South Carolina football team on Monday, a bit of a shock on the recruiting trail. Lloyd is listed as a 4 Star prospect at 247 sports. Here are the numbers on the latest gamecock recruit.

 

This looks to be like a huge get for the gamecocks. I know that certain people are excited to get the 3rd ranked prospect from the state of Maryland...because remember...

Since this recruit is loved so much by the Rob and Comrade listeners, I will now give my unbiased opinion on the young man. IF he qualifies, here’s how I see this playing out. Once he gets a few Fall Camp reps under his belt behind that shitty Oline he’s off to the transfer portal. Doubt he ever plays a down for UofSC. Due to poor decision making...he loses 1 star from his 247 Sports rating...

Game of Thrones Finale Spoiler

If you want to be surprised by the finale tonight...do not read the rest of this post!


Millions of people are awaiting the final episode of Game of Thrones. After eight seasons of watching several families battling for the throne of the seven kingdoms, it is all going to come to an end on Sunday night. While there are thousands of theories about what might happen, there is one person who has been able to predict the previous episodes with incredible accuracy.


An anonymous user on reddit has been right about several of the details of the previous episodes. He explained Varys’ death as well as Daenerys’ attack on Kings Landing. He describes them in such detail, it’s clear he has access to the episodes before they air. This post was later deleted from the site.

Now he is ready to tell everyone what happens in the show’s final episode.

WARNING: Game of Thrones spoilers ahead. If you don’t want to know how the last episodes ends before watching it, STOP READING RIGHT NOW.

Seriously, this is your last chance before learning how the show ends…





Ok, if you’ve made it this far, this is the entire post which is now going viral. Read at your own risk!

Jon, Davos and Tyrion are walking through the aftermath of Kings Landing. Tyrion walks through what’s left of the castle and sees Jaime’s hand so he starts to uncover the rubble and he confirms both Cersei and Jaime are dead. They find Grey Worm and his men they have Lannister Soldiers trapped and they’re about to kill them. Jon trys to tells Grey Worm to stop. Grey Worm tells Jon that its the queens orders. Jon and Tyrion are upset. At some point Dany is walking down stairs and Jon sees her and the dragon is behind her and it looks like she has giant dragon wings. Then they cut to Dany giving a speech pretty much saying how she freed the people from Kings Landing and the new goal is freeing the rest of the world. Dany turns to Tyrion and tells him he committed treason. Tyrion tells her that she killed thousands of innocent people and he takes off the hands pin and throws it. Dany sends him to prison.

Tyrion tries to convince Jon to turn on Dany. His family will never be safe because it threatens Dany’s legitimacy.
He’s also convinced by Tyrion that his family will never be safe because he presents a threat to her rule. Jon goes to see her and she sitting on the Iron throne alone and John tells her that she needs to stop this madness and that Grey Worm killed the Lannisters army from the previous scene. Dany tells Jon that she’s doing it for the people. Jon pretends to understand her. When her guard is down he stabs her with his dagger. Drogon comes and is standing over her body and he burns or melts the Iron throne and carries her away with his feet.

Grey Worm has Tyrion and Jon as his prisoners. The council is (led by Sansa) tells Grey Worm to release Jon back to them but he refuses. Tyrion is in front of the council as a prisoner of Grey Worm he isn’t making decision he is content with being a prisoner he makes suggestions only. (apparently been in prison for weeks) That’s when Tyrion says that the new King or Queen should decide what happens to Jon. Sam suggest for a democratic vote for the new king. Tyrion calls that idea stupid. The council votes and decide Bran should be the King. Bran picks Tyrion as his hand. Tyrion tells Jon that his punishment is going back to the Wall and join the Nights Watch. (Tyrion said Greyworm wanted him dead and Sansa wanted him back home so nobody is getting what they want, it’s a fair compromise.) Grey Worm accepts Jons punishment. He doesn’t bend the knee leaves with his troops and Dothraki on ships to go free Slave cities. They show Tyrion leading the council. Jon says goodbye to Sansa and Arya. Arya tells them she isn’t going back home. She’s going to explore whatever is west of Westeros because that’s where no one has been. The final scene is a Closing montage. You see Arya on a ship, Sansa ruling Winterfell and Jon, Ghost, Tormund, and a bunch of Wildlings leaving the Wall and heading north


Council Members: Samwell Tarly the Grand Maester, Davos Seaworth Master of ships, Bronn Master of Coin and High Garden, Brienne (not sure) Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Yara Greyjoy Lord of Iron Islands, Robin Arryn Lord of Kingdom of the Mountain and the Vale, Gendry Baratheon Lord of Storm’s End, Yohn Royce Lord of Runestone, Hound doesn’t get mentioned., Podrick is wheeling around Bran and he protects him. Ellaria Sand doesn’t get mentioned. Sam mentions that they seen Drogon in some location but aren’t sure. Bran just says, “ill look for him” They don’t have a Master of Laws and Whisperers. Tyrion is looking for the right people to fill those spots.

Classic College Football: 1995 Nebraska vs 2008 Florida

Welcome to our first installment of our College Football Classic Games Series. The concept is simple, we use our football simulator to match up two college football teams from the past. The games we play our games that our podcast listeners have suggested. For our first game we are going to match up Tommie Frazier vs Tim Tebow. Two of the most decorated college football quarterbacks in recent memory. They both also wore #15. Who is better? That is up for debate but it is a team game and the most important question is who will win between the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers and the 2008 Florida Gators.

The game will be played at the old Orange Bowl and the opening point spread is Nebraska -3

Can Nebraska beat the Gators in their home state?

The Cornhuskers boast an impressive ground attack with Lawrence Phillips and Ahmon Green in the backfield. They also have that guy Tommie Frazier, who is a very dangerous runner. Can the Gators stop the Nebraska running game? The 1995 Gators led by Steve Spurrier couldn't do it.

The Gators seem to have the more versatile offense, Tim Tebow is in command with Aaron Herandez and Percy Harvin as his weapons. Does the Nebraska defense have the speed to keep up with this Florida offense?

Let's find out.

First Quarter

There wasn't much action in the first quarter as both offenses struggled to move the ball. Would this really be a low scoring defensive game? The pace and play of the first quarter definitely suggests that is what we might have on hand. Nebraska 0 Florida 0

Second Quarter

Nebraska began to establish the running game the Florida defense started to look soft. Nebraska had it first and goal from the Gator two yard line but could not get across the goal line. The Gator defense came up big and held the Nebraska to a 20 yard FG to make it Nebraska 3 Florida 0

The Gators offense then started to get it going as Tebow started making plays with his arm and his legs. The drive would stall at the Nebraska 32 yard line. The Gators opted to go for it on fourth down rather than attempt a field goal and they were stopped.

Nebraska's offense took over and went right back to work. They drove down to the Gator 3 yard line where they had first and goal again. Nebraska couldn't get it in on the ground and on 3rd and Goal, Tommie Frazier rolled right and fired a pass in the endzone. Florida CB Janoris Jenkins went up for the interception and looked like he had caught it but Nebraska WR Mark Gilman ripped the ball away from Jenkins and a potential interception turned into the first touchdown of the game. Nebraska 10 Florida 0

As Coach Urban Meyer clutched his chest, Tim Tebow went back to work and drove right down the field and this time the drive did not stall. Tebow found David Nelson for a 23 yard scoring strike with just two minutes left in the half. Nebraska 10 Florida 7

On the ensuing kickoff, Nebraska's Damon Benning returned the kick 31 yards to the Florida 44 yard line. Frazier moved the Nebraska offense to the Gator 21 yard line with three seconds left in the half setting up a 38 yard FG attempt from Kris Brown. He missed it and the teams would go into the half with Nebraska leading 10-7

Third Quarter

Nebraska got back to attacking the Gators on the ground in the second half and it paid off and they also got a bit of good fortune. Nebraska had moved the ball to the Gator 9 yard line when Lawrence Phillips was stripped. The loose ball bounced into the hands of fullback Joel Mackovicka who ran it the rest of the way for a touchdown. Nebraska 17 Florida 7

Tim Tebow would lead the Gator offense to a First and Goal from the Nebraska 10 yard line and after a 6 yard run by Jeff Demps, Tebow was sacked on consecutive plays. The Gators would have to settle for a field goal. Nebraska 17 Florida 10 as the third quarter would come to a close as Nebraska was driving deep in Florida territory.

Fourth Quarter

One minute into the fourth quarter, Tommie Frazier would hit Brendan Holbein for a 17 yard touchdown strike giving Nebraska a 24-10 lead.

Do you think Tim Tebow and the Gators will fold? No way. Tebow put the Gator offense on his back yet again and drove them right down the field. They got inside the Nebraska 5 yard line and once again it seemed like the drive would stall. Not this time, Tim Tebow would scramble on Third and Goal and score from the 3 yard line and the Gators would close the gap. Nebraska 24 Florida 17 with 8 minutes left in the game.

Nebraska would get the ball back and go right back to the ground game and they would batter a tired Gator defense and less than four minutes later running back Clinton Childs would score on the ground from 5 yards out to put Nebraska up 31-17.

The Gators would get the ball back with just four minutes left in the game and down 14 points. Urban Meyer was clutching his chest and thinking about what job to take next but Tim Tebow was thinking about football. He refused to give up. The Gators would go three and out on their next series and curiously would decide to punt with 3:32 left int he game and down by 14. The strategy worked though as Mike Fullman of Nebraska would muff the punt and Janoris Jenkins would recover at the Nebraska 29 yard line.

Three plays later Tebow would hit Riley Cooper on a 21 yard touchdown pass. It was now 31-24 Nebraska with 2:42 left in the game.

The Gators had three timeouts left and decided to kick it deep instead of attempting an onside kick. The strategy didn't pay off as the Nebraska ground attack would run out the clock and Nebraska would win 31-24

Final Analysis

The Nebraska running game as just too much as was their commitment to the run. Nebraska would run the ball 55 times compared to Florida who ran it just 29 times. Nebraska would rush for 266 yards compared to Florida's 89 yards. Frazier and Tebow were both great. The difference was Florida struggling inside the red zone and the touchdown Nebraska scored early in which Janoris Jenkins of the Gators could have made the interception.

The History of Basketball

Now...a brief history of basketball... The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts by Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith as a less injury-prone sport than football. The game became established fairly quickly and grew very popular as the 20th century progressed, first in America and then throughout the world. After basketball became established in American colleges, the professional game followed. The American National Basketball Association (NBA), established in 1946, grew to a multibillion-dollar enterprise by the end of the century, and basketball became an integral part of American culture.

Steve Spurrier happy to be away from the gamecock cloud of awful

Steve Spurrier is a hall of fame coach....A Heisman Trophy winner. He made one mistake in his coaching life. Taking over a horrible gamecock football program. Spurrier seems happier in his new digs at the AAF. He did throw a shot at his former job post game  over the weekend.

It has to be nice to leave the awful that was in Columbia and get a new start! Good luck to the Ole Ball coach in his new job!
