Him playing may help his draft status, unlike Fournette and McCaffrey who are already solid high picks
I think those two guys owe their teams their best efforts in the bowl game......how much is a college scholarship worth now?......I have always respected Conner even is he is pitt. Are any marshal players planning to skip their bowl game to prepare for the nfl?:popcorn:

If you were to ask me to play a meaningless bowl game and risk millions to do so I'd tell you [pfftt]:middlefinger:. As for his scholarship, how many jerseys has Stanford made with his number on it in which he saw zero dimes of?

been meaning to ask...you ever play the hawks nest golf course?
Only about 18,000 times. That was my home course for about 10 years. Started playing there at age 12 or so. Family was members when it was a country club way back in the day. State of WV park service took it over, and the place went to ****. It's now been closed for a few years, and looks like a jungle as it's all grown over. People with nice homes above the course have bitched about it non-stop, but there's not much they can do about it, unless they buy the property, and fix it up, or at least trim the jungle.

...plans to play in the Pin Stripe Bowl. I say good for him!

As much as I hate Pitt, Conner is up there with Larry Fitzgerald in my mind as guys that are easy to root for. I hope he has a great NFL career ... and that Pitt loses every game they ever play from this day forward.

You didn't miss anything. ****** course, and I played it mostly as a poor kid that always had to walk it. Might be the toughest course in history to have to walk, especially #4, which is straight up the mountain side.

That would be the hole. Tee off at the foot of the hill, and the green is way up on top of the hill. I think yardage wise, it was only about 350, but it played about 450. There's nothing worse than hitting a 2nd shot to a green you can only see the top of the pin.
