Yeah, that's going to be fun. The US game overlaps with my bar chess meet up. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the least amount of chess played in our 5 year history.
I don't follow college football at all, so I know even less. But in general, I think QBs go later than they should, and it's entirely because of risk-aversion to bust rates. Painful when you lose, but when you hit, it's just worth soooo much.
