2017 College Football Thread: Hawaiian QB devastated to find out Jesus was "kinda rooting for Georgia" (1 Viewer)

[psychobillies]

Wait, let me understand this: Tennessee is not going to hire a head coach because someone said he might have known about pedophilia, but at the same time Alabama is going to elect a United States Senator who is guilty of pedophilia? 

Please don't.

Anyone watched Rutgers football lately? I did yesterday, when MSU made lots of really stupid mistakes and beat them 40-7. And earlier this year when they became the first Big Ten team ever to lose to Eastern Michigan. And last year when they got blown out by a really bad MSU team. I'm personally of the opinion that Rutgers is so bad the Big Ten should have its Power 5 status revoked just because of their presence. And Schiano won there. That's something. Doesn't necessarily make it a good hire, but it's something.

True... but let's not forget that Schiano's Ohio State defense is so bad that it gave up a passing TD to O'Korn..... oh and 55 points to Iowa. 

 

[Spartans Rule]

True... but let's not forget that Schiano's Ohio State defense is so bad that it gave up a passing TD to O'Korn..... oh and 55 points to Iowa. 

Ouch. That's a fair counterpoint.

He was good there but he wasn't winning in the Big Ten there.  It was an average Big East conference back then.   And he's been not very good at other places.  If Michigan State had an opening today and hired Schiano would you be excited or happy?

 

[Tecumseh]

True... but let's not forget that Schiano's Ohio State defense is so bad that it gave up a passing TD to O'Korn- the first one since September 9..... oh and 55 points to Iowa. 

I think Schiano must put neck braces on the corners so they can't turn their heads to look for the ball.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I'd just prefer the debate to be about the #8 team instead of 4, and for teams like UCF, Western Michigan or MTSU to have a remote chance of playing for the trophy.

That's a reason to prefer college basketball.

I've got plenty of reason to prefer college basketball these days.

Tennessee fans have been manic and hysterical and paranoid for years. But this is over the top even for them.

All true. I probably wouldn't be excited, but I wouldn't be crushed either. I'd give him a shot.

In 2006 when MSU last had an opening, I'd have considered him a home run. But obviously his stock and MSU's have been moving opposite directions since then.

This is really dumb.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I've always liked Mullen so I guess I'm happy about the hire. It just feels a little like trying to capture the past.

 

[McJose]

This is really dumb.

I agree.  It is dumb if Morre gets elected.

 

[-OZ-]

I agree.  It is dumb if Morre gets elected.

We're voting against him but Tim's line about being "guilty of pedophilia" is wrong.

Not to mention completely irrelevant and apparent trolling. 

 

[Tom Servo]

Let’s go “no politics” in this thread, eh gang?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

NO ####### POLITICS IN HERE!

 

[McJose]

We're voting against him but your line about being "guilty of pedophilia" is wrong.

Not to mention completely irrelevant and apparent trolling.

That wasn’t my line, Chooch.

 

[McJose]

Anti-pedophilia = politics

Got it.

 

[Kal El]

Neither the time nor the place for this discussion.

Chooch?

Sorry. 

But college football is politics. 

 

[Moe.]

Damnit Tim 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

So, the FSU job is really coming open? I find that shocking.

Who is going to be left for them to go after?

 

[McJose]

Chooch?

CHOOCH

 

[East Coast Bias]

Who is going to be left for them to go after?

Schiano.

 

[Native]

So who would want to take the Tennessee gig after this fiasco? 

 

[Capella]

So, the FSU job is really coming open? I find that shocking.

Who is going to be left for them to go after?

I still highly doubt he leaves, and so does the main guy who always has great sources. Thinks it's another money and facilities play. Although, FSU could finally tell him to pound sand. Have to have some kind of balls to ask for more money after this season.

Figure Venables gets some interest.

Lol so true

 

[Beef Ravioli]

I hate that but it’s not Schiano. They’ve been teaching that style for several years. Drives me nuts every game, I am constantly yelling at the tv for them to turn around and they never listen to me.

 

[Politician Spock]

Let’s go “no politics” in this thread, eh gang?

I vote for this.... and nominate Tom Servo for Mayor of the thread.

 

[Capella]

I would make this trade right now, no shtick. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Off the pedophilia track, but Is it true that UF's facilities are considered subpar?  Someone on the radio here made that comment yesterday when comparing the UCLA andlorida job openings?

 

[General Malaise]

Erickson had a couple good years, for sure.

Not really. What was his beat season or bowl berth? 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Not really. What was his beat season or bowl berth? 

hmm, guess it was only 1 actually.  10-3 in his first year, losing in the holiday bowl.

Only made one other bowl, in his 5th year, losing the Maaco and going 6-7.

 

[bigmarc27]

Arkansas is apparently interested.  If that’s what he wants, I hope he gets it. I’d of course rather him stick around, but he’s earned the right to do what he wants. His kids are committed to play for us, not that it matters too much yet.

They're pretty bad but they are building new ones.

DO NOT DO IT, BRAH!

And Peppers is on the Browns.

First it’s not wrong, and if you want to discuss that aspect of it we can do so in the politics forum. 

Second, I wasn’t trolling. If Tennessee fans are really going to push this guy out over this issue, then there’s an incredible irony going on here and I can guarantee you I won’t have been the last person to raise it.

Finally, sorry Ka El but this absolutely IS the time and place for this discussion. The main reason I and many others were opposed to the Politics Forum in the first place is because these issues intertwine with each other.

Tennessee fans don't want Schiano because he's mediocre.  Take your Alabama political nonsense where it belongs.  You and some bored college kid with a can of spray paint are the only two that think they are intertwined.

 

[timschochet]

Tennessee fans don't want Schiano because he's mediocre.  

That's fine. But why are they bringing up the Sandusky thing, then? 

 

[bigmarc27]

Because being outraged because a guy sucks doesn’t carry as much water as kid sex.

Would Sumlin fit in at a party school?

Leach fit in at a school with a harbor?

Wonder who gets the Swag Copter in the divorce.

I think it'd be fun if A&M and FSU just switched head coaches.

Here’s a hint: Not everyone wants to have politics infused into everything- INCLUDING AND SPECIFICALLY the things we do to get away from that bull####.

I was flat out shocked that Mullen left for Florida.  You guys could embarrass me with past comments about how I thought that Florida would be the last place he went.   Its kind of shady, our old AD who is an Alumnus poached Mullen less than a year after taking the job at Florida.  Can't be bitter, he left us about a million times better than when he got here.  Don't know how well he'll do there though. 

First names for the Miss State opening coming out...Pruitt (Bama's DC) as the head coach and he has Chip Lindsey (Auburn's OC) to be our OC/Associate HC.  I'd do that deal in a heart beat.  Pruitt is pretty unproven, but that combo fits footprint as good as possible.
