I know nobody cares about Army football and they are almost always terrible, but they are on track for one of the worst seasons in their history. loving Yale just scored 49 on them. Even in their winless 2003 season there wasn't anything that appalling.

Here's Hoke's explanation

"Er, I may not know what the gently caress a concussion is, that's something dealing with the ACL or the fibia or some poo poo, I dunno, maybe a light fever, something to work through. I'm not a trainer, ha ha ha. In any case, point being, I don't see what any of that has to do with his decision-making skills, and that's the most basic need for a quarterback, is to know when to play and to put the body on the line. Go Wolverines."

Christian Hackenberg is a terrible quarterback and I will laugh like a maniac when he eventually gets drafted number one overall. At least Hamilton is still a beast.

I don't think he's terrible, but I do think that whoever is coaching him is terrible. He looked fine last year! But then again, that was a staff that turned Matt McGloin from "MOXIE!!!!" walkon to "serviceable enough to the first PSU QB to play in an NFL game since Kerry Collins was all liquored up."

But that was the worst game I've ever watched. Even that awful Illinois game that turned out to be Paterno's last game or when Ohio State did pretty much whatever Ohio State wanted to last year weren't as bad.

Nah. Reid had some bad plays against a good receiver (might grow into a great one) in Lazard, and we had trouble keeping Richardson contained, but beyond that I thought it was a solid effort - ignore that last TD, it came on a busted coverage by a 4th or 5th string CB. Gave up exactly what a very solid KSU D did a week before holding Auburn in check. Far from flawless, but I'm not panicking yet. TCU will be an interesting test, with Boykin running and throwing like he has been.

Here's Hoke's explanation

Yeah, the problem is deeper than just "is he hurt?" because it points to the failure of organization and attention to detail that defines Hoke's whole program.

Someone (assistant coach, medical trainer) should have had the responsibility to recognize a possible concussion situation and had the responsibility to get him out of the game and make sure he is not available until he has been tested and cleared.

It's clear that none of this existed. Morris stayed on the field because he wanted to, came off and sat on the bench and only then did a medical trainer sit down with him to assess him. At that point they were looking at his ankle and paid no attention to his head. Then Gardner lost his helmet, and somebody yelled for Morris, who hobbled back into the game despite not being fully tested.

At no point did someone take his helmet and tell third string to get ready because he's now #2. At no point did someone communicate with the staff that Morris was unavailable until testing was done. At no point was there any sign of proper organization of the sideline staff or that they even had particular duties and responsibilities. There was no protocol, there was no anything - they were just winging it.

This is how Hoke operates, it's why his teams are a disorganized mess. Hoke didn't know Morris' status because it was nobodies job to determine it or relay that information to Hoke. Lack of attention to fundamentals and details are hallmarks of how his teams play, and it shows in all aspects of the team.

He is not capable of dealing with the complexities of a major football program. Fire his rear end now.

Ed: I'm Real Mad at the moment and will shut the hell up for a while.

Underrated Stat I caught from the Baylor game before I call it a night: Baylor still yet to give up a sack through four games. We haven't been as great running the ball as some of us had hoped, but pass protection has been fantastic - forget about no sacks, our QBs have barely had to hurry so far. Good sign in a year where our receiving corps is this stacked.

The first play of the game, which got Ole Miss' kicker ejected and should get at least #10 suspended for the Bama game because he came off the bench to throw some punches.

So to recap

Ben Has Tiny Weenus posted:

A bunch of you on Saturday night were condemning Mississippi State center Dillon Day for "stomping" on LSU D-Linemen. That makes me a bit mad because you guys seem like you watched it from the one angle that makes it look bad, with a clip that also uses slow-mo timed in such a way to make it look like a deliberate stomping. Either way, here is his response:



Before you call me a homer, go back again and watch the clip again- when he leaves the ground, he was looking at the two people in front of him and trying to make sure he didn't crush Dak Prescott. By the time he lands, the LSU defender that he "stomped" had rolled a good one and a half times. Day is 300 pounds, so I doubt he could clear that with a jump, much less change direction midair.

The Refs saw it. The guy's teammates saw it. Neither complained. The only people complaining are click chasers like Bleacher Report (two stories on it) and those who only saw it from that one angle.

Jesus loving Christ Ben.

Compare a meaningless kickoff fight that's half a misunderstanding here to a ridiculous loving stomping of anyone in his path here.

Seriously dude.

Cool Huskers win but still feeling bad about this team. Our offense is good, pretty good. If the O-Line holds up Abdullah can do some poo poo against most defenses and Armstrong has been smart and versatile thus far. I think a lot of teams underestimate his running ability too. Bell and Westerkamp are deep threats as well.

On defense, though, hmmm. LBs are a question, and the secondary is small. Our D is a bend-but-don't break type thing, but against good teams I suspect they break more than not. Thus far they have tended to let offenses move at will but make it up with timely turnovers. I fear the worst versus MSU.

You were doing good work, Dogg and I appreciate it. Virginia Tech elected the representative from the Jewish fraternity homecoming king, in a twist of irony.

Virginia Tech scored on the opening kickoff because they forced a fumble of the WMU returner and got a touchdown. Defense was great but Michael Brewer continues gunslinging and I'm tired of it. Ground game really picked up, big day for Marshawn Williams. Shai McKenzie had a touchdown too but unfortunately might be out for the year, really hate to see that for the kid. Shai was probably the best RB on the team. Good news is that Trey Edmunds can probably take a few more carries now to split the load.

Also we scored a touchdown with like 20 seconds left in the first half, then the refs ruled it an interception, then they reviewed it and showed it on the big screen and the entire crowd went AWWWWWW because it was clearly a touchdown, then they said "the ruling on the field is upheld" and the crowd barely cheered because it was horseshit and burn that entire campus to the ground roll tide good trip everybody

^^^ I thought you were going to win by 10??

Hutson Mason is a Bad QB. In the second half I checked the box score and Todd was averaging more per run than Mason was per completion. I know Richt will never do it because UGA is 3-1 and he doesn't want to create controversy but Brice should get some more reps with the first team. He can at least throw the ball 20 yards. UT had 9 in the box the entire fourth and Hutson could do nothing with it.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
When Brandon fails to fire Hoke come Monday for hanging his QB out to dry with a concussion it should give your BOV and President a clear path to dump him which in turn gives you a new coach anyway. It's the perfect time to can both and just write the season off as now you not only have Hoke's apparent circling of the drain as a coach but his abhorrent behavior with the health and well-being of the starting QB as more than enough reason to get rid of him and his failure of a boss for not doing it himself.

Unless your BOV/President don't have a pair in which case you're hosed.
