Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[InVOLuntary]

I think Dino stays at Cuse for a while. Great fit

Money talks. Bet he gets a bigger job before long.

 

[SmokinBob]

One of the most important attributes of players in the NFL is their competitiveness. What does it say when you sit out your bowl game? That's a red flag as far as I'm concerned.

It also indicates the “I” is more important than the “Team”. Quitting the first time makes it easier to rationalize quitting the next time.

 

[landscapingvol]

I suspect some big program is going to snatch up Dino in the next year or so.

He is a West Coast guy. USC should fire Helton and hire him before a big time program does.

 

[drvenner]

If I were FSU I’d fire Taggert and hire Babers tomorrow

I remember laughing at him when he coached Bowling Green and making some remark that our team was not as good as some other team they also played. Good times.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Sitting out of bowl games is trash. Why not just take the whole damn year off and work with a personal coach?

Absolutely agree.

 

[reVOLution33]

I never really thought he was that good. Never understood the hype for him.

Me either.

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

If it’s Yurcich, Gundy knows. Which might be what you’re saying with the “respectful” reference.

That’s also why I think Pruitt’s comments about the OC search not being important is so telling; 95% telling, the other 5% is not telling.... As letting him coach through his bowl game.

 

[omghulkhands]

God, Garth Brooks is so cringey. Currently signing the Beatles with tons of autotune.

I see what ya did dar.

 

[Rishvol]

Who?

If you watched the WVU vs Orange game you'd hear the announcers talk about 3 Syracuse players sitting out because they didn't want to risk injury. Of course they talked about Grier also (since that's probably all you guys heard when they were talking about this) there's probably 50 more players sitting out that won't be drafted.

 

[butchna]

Majority of Bowl games will never go away, Make universities/Ncaa too much money

Playoffs would make double if not more. Just based on advertising. Tie in corporate sponsors to playoff tiers and build a vault.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Agreed. Very stupid term.

Can't wait for some doofus to start using variations of "auditory" to be cool.

 

[wuwh_08]

Wish we could have made the WVU fans look like this to open the season. But too funny not to share.

 

[ChismsHeadband]

Give me an 8 team playoff and then only bowl games to teams that are ranked.

Every year more and more players are sitting out of these meaningless bowl games

By your model, we'd have seven CFP games with what, 8 or 9 games depending on how you want to round out the other 17 ranked teams.

Rankings already ignore decent G5 teams.

If RPO's are Communism (per Pat Fitzgerald), your bowl system is late stage Capitalism, with all the fun being siphoned up to the top. "Oh, 8-4 G5 team who had the best season in a decade, you weren't ranked, so sit your ass at home and watch the big boys play." And that's supposed to be more fun?

I like you, Catbone, but you're way off on this one.

2nd dumbest rule in football

Anyone who goes through an emo phase as an adult doesn't have to cover the Beatles with autotune to be a cringemaster.

[Coach Punk]

Anybody watching the WSU/ISU game just got to watch that penalty I was talking about with taunting.



15 yards no touchdown. DON’T TAUNT!

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

2nd dumbest rule in football

Really just makes no sense. Don't know why we should be concerned about sportsmanship among adults.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Georgia Tech should've made a run at Babers. His offense at that school in that conference could've been dynamite.

 

[volfanCLT]

Really just makes no sense.

We can only hope those poor Iowa State players can recover from that mean old WSU player holding the ball out in front of him as he ran into the end zone

 

[SamRebel35]

That is such a dumb rule though. The consequences are way disproportionate to the crime. 15 yards on PAT or kickoff would be plenty. Taking the touchdown away is just asinine.

GT will be an interesting rebuild given their OL.. I don't think Collins will be the guy long-term for them, but could be the guy to set the next guy up.

I don’t understand why it is not just considered a 15 Yd penalty and unsportsmanlike (enforced on the extra point) that way he can only mess up once as his warning.

PeeWee league level rule.
