    Locker room board motivation

    “The objective Saturday was to pound No. 21 Syracuse into submission. "Our goal was to try to make them quit, and I think we did a good job at that," quarterback Josh Jackson said after the Terrapins rolled to a surprisingly easy 63-20 victory” — quote in all the papers recapping the SU v...

    Houston hires Dana Holgorsen

    And yet most WVU fans are hoping it happens. It’s interesting to me. WVU fans just about always blame coaches for losses, not players. Iowa State (unprepared) and Oklahoma State (unprepared and horrible defensive game calls) and even Oklahoma (Defensive Coordinator) losses were blamed on...

    DeVito is doing well and his WR are doing terrible. Even that low pass should have been caught. Most would have caught it

    Louisville Game Thread...

    I’m so glad this damn year is almost over. The team isn’t prepared to play and has quit. We beat Clemson and came very close to beating Miami. We were killing Wake at half. It’s like someone said something to this team at halftime leading to this night and day difference for the second half...

    Mike & Mike (& Booger McFarland) on potential Big 12 demise & ND to ACC

    I work under the assumption that schools with profitable football programs need money coming in. Texas is a game changer in a TV contract. Thus, the ACC would welcome Texas with open arms

    everyone needs to remember

    Hahaha, except for the complete change in defensive scheme and presence of players on the squad who aren't great fits for the new scheme. The offense isn't bad and is much improved. The defense is going to be lost much of the time this year due to that change in scheme. That's exactly what we...

    Baylor to fire Art Briles / Hire Jim Grobe

    Unfortunately, our criminal justice system is so logjammed that allegations of rape are not tried to a jury for way longer than a year typically. Allegation of rape > one or two years of a kids career? Not rape, but an allegation of rape. Again, the kid has not been proven to have done...

    Baylor to fire Art Briles / Hire Jim Grobe

    "If you don't want to sit, don't do stupid illegal things" -- how does that apply to a scenario where a player is wrongly accused and did nothing, but sits because an accusation has been made? Don't you have a problem with that?

    Baylor to fire Art Briles / Hire Jim Grobe

    Art -- I don't have a position that he did or didn't know and I'm not actually even a Briles supporter. I just did not know of anything out there that establishes that he knew or was directly involved in any shady stuff and was genuinely curious if there was something or not. It seemed to be...

    Baylor to fire Art Briles / Hire Jim Grobe

    Athletics and Football personnel could literally mean 1 coach. Thus, the "all chose collectively" is not necessarily accurate. "all" athletics and football personnel didn't know. At least one did. If it was one football coach or assistant in some capacity, is it fair to assume Briles knew...

    Baylor to fire Art Briles / Hire Jim Grobe

    If Briles talked to victims at all or knew of it being done and did nothing in response, that would be grounds for firing. I haven't seen or heard anything yet that indicates that is the case. Briles did not lie about Ukwuachu -- First off, Peterson did not say he told Briles Ukwuachu was a...

    Baylor to fire Art Briles / Hire Jim Grobe

    I understand that a report came out and Baylor fired Briles, but that isn't evidence that he knew or did something himself that was inappropriate. What I was hoping to hear and haven't heard yet from you or anyone else is what Briles personally knew or did that was inappropriate or actionable...

    Baylor to fire Art Briles / Hire Jim Grobe

    I was hoping for a legit response to the question. Is there proof that he was personally involved in anything that shouldn't have been done or actually knew of something that shouldn't have been done and failed to stop or report it? I get that he's the man in charge and they can fire him any...

    Baylor to fire Art Briles / Hire Jim Grobe

    What exactly is it that anyone knows Art Briles did or had knowledge of? The posts on this board and several media articles intimate that he should never coach again and there is no way he could have or should have kept his job at Baylor. I get, and agree with, the fact that the head coach is...

    Don't blame the victim here! Bromley is clearly the victim. But seriously, why is this bad judgment by him? Do you know how many people are meeting randoms today for casual sex via Instagram, Tinder or some other webservice? I don't hold pro athletes to a higher standard than everyone else...

    tHE ONE THING i REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS STAFFS RECRUITING EFFORTS

    As if SS recognized that his job might be saved if he recruited even in a bad record year. You wait to try to get commits in the middle of a 4 win year, it's a lot more tough.

    Trouble in Pedo St?

    Its not a problem of Ped State being so tainted they can't succeed. If it was a problem of Ped State being tainted, it would affect recruiting more than anything else. As we have seen the last few years, good recruits SU would love to have keep going there, so that isn't it. Franklin is a...

    Baylor down to third QB

    No one is playing games with numbers. Mahoney didn't play QB until his senior year in HS. He went to a JC after he got no offers. He was 5th string at the start of the year. He is a non scholarship player. He was undoubtedly far behind the three star QB recruit Wilson and far behind Hunt...

    Official USF Game Thread

    Wow. The personal foul call was probably the worst I've ever seen. Now this incomplete pass/fumble call is now the worst call I've ever seen on such a play. This is ridiculous and thank God for replays and the ability to overturn that ridiculousness.

    Ridiculously bad call. SU has put themselves in a position where it matters. That's on us. We should be two touchdowns ahead of these guys but we literally didn't play the first half.

    Jaw dropping stat about our offense last year from ESPN's David Hale

    Yes, Jimmy Brumbaugh wasn't doing a very good job coaching and proved to also be an ineffective recruiter. So you bring in Daoust to actually coach the line under "shared" duties and Jimmy left that season and Daoust took over. Its a way to bridge the gap without firing someone that didn't...

    Jaw dropping stat about our offense last year from ESPN's David Hale

    I hope the OLine proves capable this year and stays healthy. If not, we may be or should be looking for a new OL coach. Perles' lines were well coached. I'm willing to give Joe Adam another chance simply because of injuries and shuffling guys in, out and around on the Line, but it will be the...

    SU Offensive Coordinators

    All of those coaches except Pariani ended up a step below what they were before they came to SU. Coming to SU was not good for SU, but it was bad for each of them ultimately. I know, I know, Hackett became an OC in the NFL after. But someone realized he can't do it there and he's back now as...

    Everett Golson transferring to FSU

    We agree schools make mistakes recruiting. I think we can certainly agree he didn't do well at SU. I kind of think he was good before he got thrust into McF-it's system which no one ran well with Hunt and WRs openly saying no one knew where to be on any given play due to scheme, play calling...

    No offense, but you are offering an opinion, just like I am. Apparently, you think your opinion is more correct than mine. I think that is just fine and dandy and I think mine is more correct than yours. However, I won't suggest that you have no idea what you are talking about, because I have...

    Right. We are in the business of turning down Oklahoma's recruits. Is that higher rated or less highly rated than SU's QBs who have played since Drew came and failed here?

    Everett Golson transferring to FSU

    He sure did. He just didn't have 9 interceptions there. He also played in high school a bit and was ranked the 15th best pro-style QB in the country. Were the rankings wrong? Was Oklahoma's talent evaluation wrong? Was Cuse wrong to bring him in? No to all the above. Every single player...

    Everett Golson transferring to FSU

    My money is on Wisconsin. Done it before with great success. Michigan would've been frontrunner if not for already pulling in transfer QBs John O'Korn from Houston and Rudock from Iowa. I could also see Texas.
