In college, yes.
Well, he does have to write like 135 of these... So I cut him some slack. Plus, hopefully nobody in Columbus will know who Bucky is either, and he can be unvieled as a super secret weapon of some kind.
You never know. I'm like the Inception of sarcastica. Sometimes I'm not even sure when I'm being serious.
Wow. Major news. Thanks for the post (this is not in any way sarcastica, btw).
I feel like that kick sort of saved the season. For me at least. That game felt like a turning point.
Yup. We were down 17 early in the 2nd quarter. Had all the look of a blowout.
In 2010 (Tyrod's senior year) we were trying to recover from the JMU debacle. We all knew the team had tons of talent, but just needed to get it together. We were down 10 to a 4-0 ranked NCSt team qb-ed by Russel Wilson at the half. David Wilson opens the half with a 92 yard kick-return for a TD to really get the rally going. We go on to win, and then tear through the ACC undefeated. It was one of my favorite teams - so much guts and favorite players.
This one's especially sweet for me, because I was at the game (it was away) with a ton of NCSt friends, and they were feeling quite good at the half.
Cue Corey Fuller making a surprise cameo as nickle-corner and destroying Bennett when the Lions play the Bears this year.
Brandon Ore. Mike Imoh. Humes. It's irrelevant.
This is an absurd conversation. Tons of talented rbs get injured, have their strength/speed/whatever made them special sapped, and then flame out. It's brutal how fast their careers go.
Think about these guys, who maybe have had so-so careers, but have been hamstrung by injuries:
Jeremiah Johnson (placed on IR his rookie year after separating his shoulder - never really recovered)
Michael Bennett - starting career was only 4 years, before he was cut for "persistent injury problems"
Luke Staley - injured his knee his rookie year, was waived the next year
Jahvid Best - concussions (repeated ones) ended his career before it really even got going
Jonathan Stewart - the guy's whole career has been a walking injury
Beanie Wells - really bad turf toe, and then tore his ACL
Cadillac Williams - tore his patella tendon, never really the same since
Mike Hart - injured his knee on his first game, IR, cut the next season
Garrett Wolfe - Injured his second year in the NFL. Never came back
Marcus Lattimore - ruined his knee in college
Darren McFadden - has been dogged by injuries his whole career. Is now competing for his spot with a 31-year-old with a million carries.
Marcus Lattimore
"Fill that hole!" to encourage our linebackers?
Big safeties excite me in ways that I can't describe on SFW websites.
It just seems like a really negative thing to bring up when talking about a season ending (and potentially career-altering) injury.
nevermind, worked. Disregard...
haha, I hear you can get them for cheap down there.
Ah, that's true. Well, they're his if he wants/can use them.
I think Erin and I are in NJ for Thanksgiving this year, so he could probably just use mine.
Consider it a "Thank You" gift for the whole deployment thing.
According to wikipedia, 18 is considered "college ready" for English. 22 for math. So yeah, I think 16 is probably a little low. It's a bummer, but I can't fault the school at all here - if you can't make it in because your scores are too low, then sorry. And Beamer let him go for free - didn't jerk him around or anything.
So stay in the ACC and hope the Canes get their shit together eventually.
Exactly. Bud as a head coach is a totally unknown commodity. I'm not trashing him, I just don't think he's necessarily going to be as good of a HC as he is a DC. When Beamer retires, I think we'd be crazy to just grab Bud and promote him without evaluating all possible options.
I think we'd suffer from being so geographically distant from the rest of the conference. We fought for decades to get into the ACC - no way I see us moving again.
Honestly? Yes. Bud is the patron saint of defense. And also badassery. But that doesn't mean he'd be a great CEO, as those are wildly different skill-sets. Look at Bo Pelini - do you really want him to be your head coach? I'd be very apprehensive if we just promoted Bud, without him having any sort of head-coach track record.
Is that a suggestion box on the left? Who wants to guess some of the suggestions they got?
