Ravishing Rueb

I don't see anything wrong with the article. I have taken a lot of out-of-towners to the Columbia over the years. Never again.

I liked Grothe on the field, but the guy is an embarrassment off of it. When he announced that he was foregoing the NFL draft to come back for his senior year - Funniest thing to ever came out of his mouth, by far.

Loved Grothe at QB, but come on. QB coach? That's almost as funny as when he held a press conference to announce he was coming back for his senior year. Give Willie more credit.

Whoa. Someone needs their dosage adjusted.

Yes, obviously I believe it was intentional. I thought I have been clear on this point. Why would he toss it forward? - Because he saw his teammate in a position to scoop and score.

I disagree. The forward propulsion call was legit. We would have been in an uproar if Rutgers did the same thing and got away with it. The last USF throw of the Rutgers game was a terrible call. Forward propulsion was legit? It was not at all. Illegal forward propulsion is when a player intentionally throws the ball to the ground in hopes someone else will pick it up. Replays clearly showed that the ball was knocked out of the USF player's hands by a Rutgers player from behind, thus pushing the ball forward. There wasn't anything remotely intentional about it. A regular fumble that is advanced is perfectly legal, which is exactly what happened in the Rutgers game. When I take my green and gold glasses off, it looks like there was an intentional throw forward. It was a smart play, and I bet Rutgers would have gotten away with it, but I can't objectively say that it was a bad call. I looked at that play a bunch of times. The ball was very, very clearly knocked forward by a Rutgers player that hit him from behind. It wasn't remotely close, and it would have been beyond stupid for the USF player to propel the ball forward in that situation anyway. It was far from the end of the game and it was a huge play to block the kick. No player would think about try to pass the ball forward. I have no idea what you think you saw, but it was clearly a Rutgers player that pushed it forward. I watched it multiple times too. It looks like forward propulsion to me. I have no idea how you can watch that play and write "it wasn't remotely close". Agree to disagree.

I feel better. White showed promise. I generally liked the offensive play calling. I hope the O-line can protect White against a team that blitzes. I'd rather see 15 holding calls than White getting pummeled. Whatever the line has to do - don't let White take a bunch of shots. But - I'm still pissed about the refs. The sting hasn't worn off. I get the "can't leave it in the refs hands" cliches. But we got SCREWED. That wasn't a questionable call, that was a BS call. I can't help but question the integrity of the officials. I'd feel 'good' minus that call.

I think Woolard should give himself a raise, extend Willie, take a nap, call the AAC, take another nap, and then call the Big 12. But all that will have to wait until Monday, when he is in the office. Because he's on the golf course right now.

The Good: QB White, and the confidence the rest of the offense has in him. The Bad: Our defense is atrocious. Can't tackle, can't recognize a screen pass, can't cover receivers. The Ugly: Penalties. The legit ones, and the BS calls.

It sure doesn't feel like a conspiracy theory. Feels more like solid reasoning. It took a UH player throwing the ball at a USF player to get a flag thrown. These guys need to be fired. It was the same ref. All the false starts etc were legit. Those are on Willie and to a lesser extent - White. Kid looked great otherwise. Rueben - Admitted conspiracy theorist

We are better informed.

I hope you are right, but is there anything you can point to that supports the statement - "We're a much better team than those stats show"?

When I read one of your posts, all I think about is how much shorter it should be. Cool story, bro.
