Good to see our tax dollars doing something productive

I said nothing like that. What I did say was that Mitch was going to be a 3rd day pick whether he caught 28 passes this year or 48 passes this year.

I'm fairly certain he doesnt get drafted now. Call me surprised if he does

I'm sure other XFL teams would be interested in using Flowers more effectively than this team. Jerking him around the way they did was sloppy. Anyone who has played QB before knows it's impossible to get into a rhythm when you're being substituted as if you're a 3rd string half back.

He’s got average size and below average speed. He could have Jerry Rice’s hands and he’d still be a third day pick, at best. Anyone who thinks catching 12 less passes this season is a factor is dreaming.

Are you implying that on field results dont factor into a TE's draft stock? You're the one who's dreaming obviously his combine results sucked but now his lack of production last year with poor metrics make him nearly undraftable

Hes easily the best player on our team, and I cant think of a respectable next best player. I'm glad hes back

Stars: KJ Sails

Best positions: LB, Secondary, WR

Break out players this year: Nick Roberts, Dwayne Boyles

Talent without production: Mike Hampton, Randall St Felix

Positions that need big help: QB, RB, OL, TE, Dline

This team looks pretty bad. I see a 3 wins at this point. 

I understand giving Murray the start. Sure, they wanted a passing game, and Q doesnt give that as much. But anybody watching this game (including the announcers) can see that Flowers is bringing all the energy, and coach refuses to let him fly. I'm glad they lost this one. Flowers must start next week or it will be obvious this team isnt trying to win

Makes you wonder, would he have had more interest if he declared last year? This season he was forgotten about nationally and statistically

this class up grades our team significantly

we will make a bowl game

the kicker is an amazing addition

A bowl game? Odds are that we dont make a bowl game this year. Who is our QB? What offensive linemen do we have? Who is even decent on defense outside of KJ Sails? This team sucks until it doesnt. 

Our best returning defensive player from last year was hurt (Sawtelle), then Sails and Macon transfer in and are immediately our best players. Hampton had a lot of hype, but an awful season. Reeves / Livingstone didnt get pressure. Our other linebackers looked like small underclassmen. 

We need to recruit and develop better. Our defense doesnt seem to have any talent returning. The only positive is the young linebackers did improve slightly as the season progressed. xDC BJM did NOT live up to expectations, but at least he was better than the rest of the staff imo

Put up your crayons and go to your room. Roberts and Sawtelle on the field at the same time this year, we only win 2. Sawtelle is just that bad too.

A healthy Nico Sawtelle isnt an improvement over Boyles or Grier this year?? You are such a troll

I'm not sure why it's so commonly agreed upon that even Macon was better than Sawtelle. Macon got tackles, Sawtelle grabbed the ball. Dude keeps being in the right position making plays and winning, and some fans dont think hes good. I'll say it right now, if Nico plays all year, I think we are a bowl team. Hes that impactful for us

You really have to ask this question.  Just turn on any of the News channels at night.  CNN and FOX both come to mind, and there is no shortage of polarizing political discussions.  And now its an Election year, so get ready for the onslaught!

I'm sorry to the people who eat up the BS of corporations so clearly bought out and biased. Those are pretty toxic routes of information.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. I haven't the slightest interest to anybody vote for and if prefer to keep it that way.

if I want to open my mind to other people's political views I'll go to a political forum. There is no shortage of those.

I'm trying to say that I dont understand why political conversations cause such unease with people

One of the few redeeming characteristics of this board these days is it's one of the few places in the internet where people don't discuss their politics.  

 

Seeing who people actually vote for, maybe the "dont discuss politics" saying is dated. It seems to contribute to close minded belief systems since those beliefs arent being challenged. 

Politics is similar to sports in a way that once every 4 years some people just put on a politicians jersey and cheer for them regardless of actually talking through why. It's actually not hard to debate merits of different positions with people while being respectful. We do it here constantly with sports, and this stuff doesnt even matter. 

Btw Corey our biggest problem was oline like you said. Nick Roberts is young and improving! Hes a capable rotational guy who could play 50% of the defensive snaps

Nope. Arm strength is not there. Not a good decision maker either.

McCloud is extremely deficient with arm strength, and that effects his accuracy. It's hard to be a quarterback when you lack these attributes, and I was never a Jordan McCloud fan this year. 

That being said, he has enormous potential because hes athletic, and I actually like his decision making and leadership. If he can put in the work with good coaching, he might be a QB who can help us be a solid bowl team. But if he doesn't progress, he cannot start again.

Expansion, yes.

G5 autobid? Hell no. No reason Alabama and Clemson should batter the G5 champ every year. It would get boring quick.

In case you've missed some on field results, the G5 auto bid is 4-2 in major bowl games vs top P5 teams. You might want to rethink your position because you're objectively wrong.

Can you love a coach BEFORE he has done a **** think?

Just look at Kerwin Bell. Still hasn't done anything and people love him

I could tell you all of sh÷= my coaches did to me throughout the years...imo, Miller was busting his hump and getting crapped on by the staff while some of the stars were getting the Jimmy Johnson treatment...and that sent him over the edge when Jim pushed him around at the half of the Louisville game...

Yeah, sounds like an isolated incident. Everybody is wrong sometimes, even the great Jim Leavitt

Try having your two favorite college teams go 15-34 over the past two years.

If you count this year it would be 6-18. You would think I would pick better teams.

You might as well stick to your guns. People who bandwagon to the best teams are the worst kind of people. RollTide

Gillette is that you?

I was really good friends with Matt Gillette, went to a few games with him back in the day and met him on my little league football team. I'm Vincent Scarinci (a year behind). Did you go to Chamberlain?

didn't say anything about his recruiting. the kids he coached this year did not get better as the season went on. he did not put them in a position to succeed.

I really hope he's all that and a bag of potato chips, but I remember people saying Eddie McDoom was the best receiver on our roster in his transfer year. The same roster that had Solomon, McCants, Bronson, Wilcox, and St Felix (he was actually playing well at the time). 

I'll wait to believe that kind of hype. The only thing is this time, being our best WR should be easy.

 I think it's pretty soft to hold a coach accountable 

To clarify, holding him accountable is fine, but 10+ years later is excessive

I went to Chamberlain HS with Nathan in the prime '07 #2 years. We only talked a few times (big school), but I knew him as one of the other guys always wearing USF stuff. Nice enough to talk to a few times. 

Anyway, maybe I'm just a deranged lunatic in the way Leavitt was, but I think it's pretty soft to hold a coach accountable for an altercation that was all alleged. Shoot, Blue Adam's and Khalid McGee was probably worse than what happend w Leavitt. This is a rough, collision sport dude, and Leavitt said wake the F up. We need a little of that again

I would be thrilled about a Leavitt return! Nothing would get me more excited about Bulls football than this. I just hope if hes brought back that hes given multiple years to turn this clown show around, our talent is non existant
