Swaggiest Players on Team 144: Rate your top 5
All the players on Team 144 are beloved and cool dudes in their own right, but some just have that swag. This isn't about who was the best, most important, or even your favorite - just who has that swag. The turnover Buffs probably give an unfair edge to the defense and in general some positions like WRs and CBs will probably grade out higher than O-linemen.
1) Will Johnson
2) Mikey
3) Rod Moore
4) JJ
5) Michael Barrett
Honorable Mentions (Jenkins, CJ, Semaj Morgan)

I got to say, you guys sure do come up with unexpected thread concepts.
January 17th, 2024 at 12:08 PM ^
Best way to criticize the rash of ongoing snowflake threads following a national championship win. Carry on.

It's our version of fifteen minutes of fame.

If swaggiest means looking like a football player, then Blake Corum!
January 17th, 2024 at 10:05 AM ^
This would be the opposite of swag - rather it suggests substance.

Honorable Mention is a hellova competitor. A real gym rat, lunch pail, blue collar, first-to-arrive-last-to-leave, coach's son, gritty type.

did not know HM was white
January 17th, 2024 at 11:44 AM ^
Larry's not white, Larry's clear.
January 17th, 2024 at 10:26 AM ^
crafty?
January 17th, 2024 at 11:11 AM ^
Yeah nothing says "swag" like only being on the field as the conservative option and still managing to fuck it up.
This board makes me feel young.

Jesus Christ has entered the chat.

Errybody. They all got swag. B1G Swag, Rose Bowl swag, NC Swag. 15-0 swag. Bags of swag with bags of swag in them. Replete with swag.
January 17th, 2024 at 10:22 AM ^
For swaggy, I'm going with confident to bust out big plays in big moments. Certainly favors skill positions:
Tier 1
Corum, Will Johnson, Mike Sainristil, JJ (that OSU throw)
Tier 2
Roman Wilson, The Don, the DL, Barrett, Loveland
January 17th, 2024 at 10:27 AM ^
Have to quibble: if your definition is bust out big play in big moments (which isn't swag by the way), Tier 1 must include:
"Whoah, can they catch him? No" and "He's loose again." Donovan Edwards. The man doubles down on big plays in big moments.
January 17th, 2024 at 10:23 AM ^
It’s Trevor Keegan
January 17th, 2024 at 10:28 AM ^
I was just about to post this. Shirtless, slamming a beer while holding a crystal football in negative temps is pretty swaggy.
January 17th, 2024 at 10:41 AM ^
It's the guy who said this:
"We're not in the talking business. We're in the ass-kicking business. And business is booming."
Michael Barrett is the correct answer.
January 17th, 2024 at 11:43 AM ^
Also “be careful who you make the villain.”
January 17th, 2024 at 11:02 AM ^
I feel very weird at my age using that word. Mike S was my fav player, all 5-10 of him and playing the position only 2 years. Team leader of the D.
January 17th, 2024 at 11:10 AM ^
I think the equivalent term the kids are using these days is "Drip"
January 17th, 2024 at 12:20 PM ^
Yes and no. Swag, in my native Black urban vernacular, can refer to either brash confidence and showmanship (from “swagger”) OR to merchandise, branding and clothing that demonstrate a fashion-forward style. “Drip” is a synonym for the latter definition (from “dripping with style”).
January 17th, 2024 at 11:19 AM ^
James Turner has swag, baby.
You don't pull on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off the ole Lone Ranger - and you don't mess around with Jim...
January 17th, 2024 at 11:20 AM ^
As someone who doesn’t have a lot of personal swagitude, I feel unqualified to judge the swagginess of others. It saddens me that I can’t participate in this important discussion.

Franz deserves some love here, as well as Darius
But JP should get the one seed for calling that lunatic Draymond “an expensive backpack for Steph Curry”
January 17th, 2024 at 12:23 PM ^
Agreed-JP is #1, and Spike Albrecht has to be on this list.
January 17th, 2024 at 11:41 AM ^
I am older than this would suggest so maybe a rubric to help us old folks out? How do we determine what swag is and how its obtained and demonstrated?
January 17th, 2024 at 11:54 AM ^
Roughly synonymous with cool. Slang goes around the world in milliseconds now. Used to take many people years to hop on it.
January 17th, 2024 at 12:46 PM ^
swag is short for swagger
January 17th, 2024 at 12:02 PM ^
I interpret this as “brash, shittalking” types so here goes…
1-Semaj
2-Will Johnson
Huge Gulf
3-Michael Barrett
4-Roman
5-Keegan

Get a life, furchristsakes.
January 17th, 2024 at 12:33 PM ^
Ouch. This comment was not cool, swag or drip amigo.
User name does check out though.
January 17th, 2024 at 2:52 PM ^
I think this topic shows how far we’ve come as a fan base: 36 comments without that ridiculous ‘swag’ picture of Greg Mattison in shades.
January 17th, 2024 at 3:00 PM ^
Good job Kid!
January 17th, 2024 at 3:36 PM ^
Trevor Keegan on the parade float. There is no other answer.

Did everyone forget about this man?!?
January 17th, 2024 at 8:24 PM ^
He wasn't on Team 144.
January 18th, 2024 at 12:04 PM ^
Semaj seems like a guy from boyz in the hood so he takes the cake.
