Bowls of Interest

[Scott Malkinson]

Read the scouting report moron. I don't think it mentions his "EAST WEST SHRINE BOWL" performance anywhere. I remember telling people after seeing one practice that Dwight Bentley was the best player on Mark Hudspeth's first team & had the potential to be a high round NFL pick if he practiced & played like that every game that season. I was laughed to scorn & told how stupid I was & didn't know anything about football. I was told he wasn't even the second best defensive back on the team. I believe Dwight Bently was the highest drafted player for the Cajuns in that draft. The reason: he was super opportunistic & played hard every single down of his UL career. He was invited to the Senior Bowl & had a great game against some guy named Russel Wilson. But it was everything he did up to that point that made him a third round pick. His senior bowl was just a confirmation of what was evident all along. The fact that he was invited to the SENIOR BOWL was proof of his accomplishments on the field.

No no no Don't try to crawfish out of this you said the NOLA bowl was more important for Humphrey than the All star game. I told you the east west was more important for draft stock. Now you have been pants you are trying to spin your ignorance .

I said every game is important for any marginal young player coming into the league. The East West all star game is of no more importance than the New Orleans Bowl, especially since it would have pitted Humphrey against Mollette for an entire game. Please quit stretching the black matter of your brain to prove your stupidity on the subject.

While you may be correct about the east-west shrine game is about equal to New Orleans Bowl but East West Shrine Game practice week holds 10x the importance of the game

UL hosted Jeff Ireland on a zoom chat a few years ago. He went over the draft process, I was blown away how much stock and evaluation goes on during that week.

So it is most important to try and be healthy for that opportunity . . .

The East West Shrine game is the least important "all star game" of any. It always has been. The Senior Bowl has always been the most important "All Star game". But every game a player has is important to their draft stock & even more important when they get down to final training camp cuts. And don't try to tell me that a player's college resume doesn't affect them making an NFL roster, or not. These cuts come down to everything. the number one factor being the one I mentioned to begin with, How does a guy play when the game "is meaningless"?

Senior bowl almost guarantees your getting drafting. Does not mean the other all star bowls are not launching pads for some players.

NFL cuts are an entire different situation . Its where All Americans and Bowl MVPs are cut for UDFA. It's only about what you did to that point with that team.

Pro day could trump any all star game but Sr. Bowl

Did anyone say trump?

The regular season and start of the bowl season seemed as normal as it probably could. I can’t recall many postponements/cancellations. Now in a week you’ve got several.

Most of the schools canceling have new coaching staffs ... how convenient

I'm wondering now how Rugers would feel if Wake "cough, cough" declined to play!

Nevada starting QB Cox is 6'9" ...nice
