Brian Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 MSU and Nebraska should be interesting. I'm not totally sold on MSU. Rolling teams they should. I hate Nebraska but would like to see my MSU fans knocked off their pedestal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 My god, those Nebraska uniforms were straight fugly. Also, in what world was it ok for Hoke to send Morris back into the game when he couldn't even stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 At first I never would've thought Hoke would be fired in season, but starting to feel likely, especially after Kansas just did it to Weis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 28, 2014 -> 03:38 AM) SEC overranking in the polls is rampant, but also irrelevant. All that matters is the top 4. A crap Missouri team getting ranked after a s***ty performance that somehow won getting ranked 25 is meaningless if it happens. I know I wouldn't vote for them, but I also saw South Carolina get dominated in every aspect by Texas A&M in Week 1 and knew that team wasn't good. A team being 12 instead of 18 ultimately means nothing. Good Lord. I can't believe you are crying so much about an in conference road win especially with white and hunt out on offense. Maybe college football is just down this year. There were so many great senior qbs that graduated and their replacements haven't looked very good. I'd say Oregon is hands down number one except they always trip up. Is there a top team anyone feels great about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas still owes him $7 million, that on top of the $19 million ND paid him after they let him go. $26 million to not coach, all because he lost a close game to #1 USC.

cabiness42 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I don't know how you can recruit so well and still put a bad team on the field. It will be interesting to see who Michigan's next coach will be. Ask Charlie Weis. He knows how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) If the football coaching thing doesn't work out, maybe Hoke could have a career as a Chris Christie impersonator. Edited September 29, 2014 by HickoryHuskers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'd guess Hoke is gone after the season and the AD sooner or later. What a F up. Releasing a statement at 1am. Wouldn't be shocked if Morris didn't return next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Given how much college coaches control everything about their program, I have to call BS that Hoke had no idea his starting QB had a concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Notre Dame will play their first 6 games either at home or neutral site before they go to Talahassee to play Florida State.

I hope that they can handle a hostile road crowd like FSU has. ND is a pretty young team. Only 2 offensive starters + 1 defensive starter + kicker/punter are in their last year of eligibility. Even though FSU is overrated and vulnerable, beating them is a tall order for ND. Winning 2 of 3 against Stanford/Arizona St/USC and finishing 10-2 would be nice. Should be preseason Top 5 next year.

bmags Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I disagree. He wouldn't get fired, but this is just another example of incompetence. People in the stadium and the announcers were pretty upset. I think it was also less the him playing another snap then also throwing him out there after Gardner.

I honestly don't care for these stupid message board games of bringing up every other example of other cases and grading the outrage, but at least in that case: MSU was better at lying He was taken off the field after that play and was administered a concussion test They are incompetent and/or lied about that test and put him back in Michigan: -Did not take him off the field - Took him off the field and then examined his ankle - Sent him back out onto the field - Have confirmed he had a concussion Michigan doesn't have the cover of their staff performing their job correctly and possibly lying, they have their staff having perfomed incorrectly and confirming that the kid was put out with a concussion. It's not the same. Gary Pinkel also put out a player in 2004 bowl game and he finished the game. Nobody cared then. We know more now, people need to be held accountable for players health. There can't always just be "systemic breakdown...nobodies fault". Edited September 30, 2014 by bmags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
