I can appreciate your passion. But Dude we don’t need to win the Acccg. F**k that useless appendage. OSU made it to the CFB playoffs, w/o playing in the Big10 playoff. If we have a clear path to the CFB playoff, and we do by winning out, then Good night Irene, get some rest and prepare for the playoffs. JFC, what’s with y’all’s hard on for the f**king Acccg. At this point it’s a participation trophy.
Seven consecutive bad quarters across three games, including six consecutive where we did not hold a lead, has people pretty salty. I understand the concerns and the feeling that it could come back to bite us again. It certainly could.
Well said. I think they had about 70 yards of total offense after the first drive and maybe 2 1st downs.I made a comment on a post after the Louisville game about a sub group of "fans" that "is unsatisfied with anything less than complete and total annihilation of every single opponent each week." They are The Faction.
Considering our history since 2003, I get this stupidity after an uninspired loss to a team we should've beat. However, I'm seeing these creatures come out again this morning after a 42-7 win over Stanford. Yes, I saw the first half. Yes, it was uninspired (again) Yes, I get the PTSD as I was feeling it too. Then the second half came and we looked like the team we should have been in the first half. Football games are not played on a glowing screen with joysticks. Parity is very real. Last year's national champ had two losses and I think it's very likely the champ will not be undefeated this year...at least I haven't seen a world beater to this point. (Side note - Indiana played the LA version of Stanford yesterday and rolled them. They might be the best team so far and I can't belive I'm writing this.) I'll never understand why some fans feel the the need to act as if the world is ending after a blowout victory. It is a poor reflection on the school and those who do that look dumb. But....I guess Message Board Geniuses wouldn't exist without it.
Carry on.
Go Canes.
And y'all can "finna drag me" if ya want. Don't care cuz I'm not wrong about this.
lol. I do t think we are that bad but we have some structural failures going on. If caveman can keep stacking classes we’ll keep being a 9-11 win team. We’ll make the playoffs once or twice out of 3 years and win a couple of playoff games. It won’t suck, but not sure we will be able to put a complete team together for a really deep run at #1
Indiana passed on him too. Everyone did except Cal...they were his only P5 offer coming out of Columbus.
I think Cig is the truth. But Indiana had the 3 scrimmages to start the season. That is such a ridiculous advantage over every single team in the country. They started with Indiana St, Kennisaw St and ODU. We started with ND, UF and FSU.
We are not osu.. we aren't in the $ec either. Getting to the acccg is the clearest path to the playoffs imo. What's the big deal? Only two acc teams made the playoffs last year and they were both in the acccg.
Everyone on this board would have burned this ***** down (at the time) if we took Mendoza over Beck. ****, Mendoza was waiting in the wings and most of this board wanted nothing to do with him once we didn’t get Mateer. Mendoza wasn’t moving any needles for portal WR’s. Hindsight is 20/20 and nobody wanted the guy. Just saying.
Yes, there were plenty of posts on here saying to leave Mendoza in Cal. Too slow and meh as a passer to be here in Miami. Fast forward a year and now it's a blown opportunity. CIS is gonna CIS.
Dmoney liked him but consensus narrative at one point was that Mendoza was Emory Williams tier.
Let's see how sustainable that is and if he still feels like that with 2-3 losses or more in back to back seasons. They've caught everyone around them with their pants down at the moment and have had a fairly easy schedule. Once teams see the bigger competition recognizes them as a real threat they'll take their lumps. Luckily he's somewhere that won't ever care if he breaks 10 wins once every 5 years.
You know what they say about hindsight. I was one of those that felt uninspired by Mendoza. I did think he had talent, but coming off of Cam Ward, it felt like we needed something bigger. Congrats to him and I hope he goes pro right away haha.
At $12M a year, they care. Only 2 guys make more than him now, Kirby and Day.
I thought he said "Excuses are like poems ... they're for pussies and nobody wants to hear them"
