Was he the best JUCO signing of past 25 years for this team? Serious question.

I’m sure I’m forgetting someone.

No.

I'm going with Amba-Etta-Tawo, who had a dominant 2016 with the Orange. .

 

[UpstateSM]

I heard that he just really like long plane rides

 

[CbusCuse]

No.

I'm going with Amba-Etta-Tawo, who had a dominant 2016 with the Orange. .

I thought Amba was a Maryland player and not a Juco.

He wasn’t a JUCO, he was a transfer from MD.

Taj Smith was a juco transfer WR and had a pretty good senior season in the GRob era when there wasn't much to be excited about.

 

[Newhouser]

Like California usc? He won’t play there

I thought the same thing - is there a USC I'm not familiar with...

 

[Niastri]

So, Scott Hatteberg is going to be our center next season?!

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Good for him. Could have lost PT here and been on the outside looking in maybe he'll improve and impress there. Don't think he ll play much.

Sadly, the Utica School of Commerce closed in 2016.

 

[Dinkyspond]

He should talk to JG Wentworth if he needs money now.

I think the jingle is catchy. The TV ads are entertaining.

There will never be another Rav Dog.

Billy Beane: "You're not playing Carlos Pena tonight."
Art Howe: "To hell I ain't, you can't tell me who I can and can't play."
Billy Beane: "You're not playing Carlos Pena tonight."
Art Howe: "Did you understand what I just told you? I'll play whoever the hell I want."
Billy Beane: "You're not playing Carlos Pena tonight. I just traded him to Detroit."

Philip Seymour Hoffman (from Fairport, NY!) as Howe and Brad Pitt as Beane were outstanding.

Don’t think it was him. He played all season even when injured.

I thought Bulldog had said something to that effect and he seems to have insight into the team pretty well.

Highly doubt it was him. He was a gamer and played hurt. I think he got a surprise extra year and the numbers game meant prioritizing money and space with someone else. In an ideal world you want him back.

That surprise year, IMO, was the biggest thing.

Obviously we had already budgeted for next season and was not expecting that to happen.

Unfortunate, but I have no doubt Fran thinks we either have someone comparable on the team or we can get an upgrade.

Best of luck to the Big General at his next stop

SEC people think The University of South Carolina is USC.

SEC people think The University of South Carolina is USC.

They are right. The other is U$C.

 

[OrangePA]

Yes, I guess that's right. I was thinking of transfers. Never mind!

 

[Cuseregular]

Guys, I know this hard to imagine, but we mutually parted ways with the general.

Absolutely no loss here at all for us. I have seared into my mind how many times he would get blown up straight back into the backfield, missed his assignment on stunts, etc. injury was a part of this I’m sure, but it was the same thing when he wasn’t injured.

I guess it’s a good thing when USC is taking the guys we really don’t mind losing.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

I think Andrew Tiller was the best JUCO we had. Really solid lineman who was in the NFL for awhile as well.

I don't have any of those things seared into my mind. If anything the tackles/guards were a bigger issue for us this season. There's just a lot of coping to try and make people feel better about him leaving SU

I mean, yeah, on paper you'd like to bring an experienced starting C back for another year.

But - he was rated the 14th "best" C in the ACC, which is... sub-meh.

I've gotta imagine FRAN & crew think they can:

• do better
• do at least the same, but at lower NIL cost

And statistically, the odds are that we do better.
You'd like to have at least average players on your team, as compared to your peers.
Dollar General ended up being below average.

Please dont do that again
