Hey @Ruck Over who do you have tomorrow Lions or Springboks?

I think it's going to be the Lions, they have a much better all around game. However, the Springboks have just been beating people up, I like that type of game plan.

Based purely on mascots however, gotta go Lions, cause circle of life.

He brought the trash can to the interview.

 

[Ruck Over]

About Butch, he's a bad coach, sure. But for all the hate he gets about the job performance at Tennessee, that team still sucks. Like, he was part of the problem, but he wasn't the complete problem. But I don't mind, them being bad is one less blue blood option to detract from the good guys. There's not a realistic known coach that will improve Rutger at the moment.

Tennessee no doubt has bigger problems at play (it’s not the job it was many years ago) & an incompetent athletic department.

But Butch was pretty damn bad. He recruited pretty well but it’s amazing as many top 50-100 kids he got they pretty much all flopped badly.

Pruitt’s pretty bad too but he was like their 8th or 9th choice in that coaching search they handled it so poorly.

Butch is just funny to laugh at as he was really bad & just so corny (turnover trash can, champions of life, etc.).

Rutgers is so far in the hole as you said though. It’s going to be such a low bar there to be considered a success.

In today’s LA Times there was some interesting chatter about the new AD hire, Bohn. One was a warning about not hiring Urban Meyer. The other was the mention of Ruhle as a possible replacement for Helton if he were terminated by the new AD.

I believe that I will be the first one to score negative points for a week with these picks

The afternoon games suck ass. Honestly this whole week sucks outside of Georgia/Florida.

Fortunately that one is a 3:30 game so I can watch before the Flyers.

It's a shame that Miami v FSU isn't what it used to be. Those were great, except for when Miami won.

I don’t think Miami will really ever be as good as they once were. Unless their administration lets them run a renegade program with no regard again.

Their last hires prior Diaz have been Shannon, Golden, & Richt all of them were pretty much touted for being no nonsense guys.

 

[Cody Webster]

Yeah, these games blow

I watched NCST-Wake because I wanted to see Amari Henderson. You know the slate is bad when the only angle I can find is watching a CB.

Sidenote, but he's really damn good.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Adrian Martinez might be the worst QB in the Big Ten. This guy was talked up as a potential Heisman candidate coming into the season.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Purdue is driving with their third string QB to potentially win the game against Nebraska. He came in cold after an injury.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Purdue takes the lead with this 3rd & 5th play call for the TD.

[LegionOfDoom91]

Scott Frost with some horrific clock management at the end of that one. Even if they converted the 4th down play they took so much time off the clock with the previously play. He pocketed a timeout for no good reason.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Turn on CBS for Georgia-Florida
Hear some yodeling bastard
Instantly regret decision

Now you get to hear Gary Danielson talk some nonsense for a few hours.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I have some sympathy for him as a former Lions QB who wasn't super terrible, so he doesn't bother me the way your guy Gus Johnson does.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

What a horrific call by Mullen. You can’t get a fourth & inches running it?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Everything I dislike about college football is perfectly summed up in the way Georgia has navigated their QB decisions the last 3 years.

You think Fromm is back next year?

I don't think he'll ever leave. I'm stuck with him forever.

I think it'll come down to what grade the draft advisory committee gives him. All of a sudden, this is a VERY crowded QB class.

Yeah I’d imagine he worked his way out of RD1 to this point while others have worked their way in but who knows exactly how the NFL will feel.
