Weaver set this program back 10 years with the way he handled the firing of Greenberg. And JJ is going to be fired after this season even though he had no chance to ever really succeed.
Reposting a comment from February or March:
At least everything is great in the basketball program!
When does Berman legally change his name to "The Good News Bear?"
I have to say that I would like to go to South Bend, The Big House, and LA Memorial Colliseum right off the bat. After that, I think UGA, LSU Death Valley, Clemson Death Valley, Neyland Stadium, The Shoe, Beaver Stadium, and Nebraska's Memorial Stadium would probably be up there. And no, this isn't a schedule for this year as much as just a general stadium tour bucket list. My goal is also to make it to every ACC (or whatever conference we are in) stadium as well.
LOL, that's about right. Probably great news for him. Go, go somewhere else. Quickly.
I'd do the Ohio State-Iowa game at the horshoe on 10/19 and the Iowa-Michigan game 11/23 at Kinnick. I'm assuming I'd be accompanied by my wife, who is a Hawkeye.
I believe a few others have said this, but we need to get back to having a winner culture, not just 10 win seasons, but ACC Championships, BCS Bowl wins, and OOC wins.
We haven't won a nationally televised post season game since... 2010 ACCCG? (Russel Athletic bowl doesn't count, hopefully none of our recruits saw that game... woof!) I'm curious of what our record in national televised games (the ones that recruits would most likely see) is over the past 3 years (I assume a recruits memory probably goes back 3 years). Even including Thursday night games, I'd bet it's sub-.500.
Of course recruits don't want to come here, they haven't seen us preform well in two years? After beating FSU we schlacked by Stanford. Recruits (note: RECRUITS, not fans who watch every game) haven't seen us play well in two years. Would you want to play for a team that puts forth a lackluster performance every time you've seen them play?
Any real updates with Nnadi? This visual that brown is sitting with a UVA hat on his head recruiting other players to go to LOLUVA is not settling well with me.
If you enjoy watching UMD lose by 40 then I'm sure it is. Their students will show up to the OSU game, realize how truly bad their team is and then go back to having a quarter filled stadium.
I would like to see the Minnesota-Wisconsin game for Paul Bunyan's Axe in Madison.
Incidentally, Byrd Stadium just got a little more appealing for DMV residents starting in 2014 with the big name conference opponents coming to town.
It's definitely on the short list.
I would go to PSU if you've never been there. Fun atmosphere and the tailgating is incredible.
I thought our basketball team had the potential to be one of the worst I'd ever seen next year. Forget potential, next year is going to be a train wreck.
Hey joe can you #shiptoafghanistan?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please email me at aaronseth28@aol.com
Do we have an exclusivity or non-compete policy re: TSL?
Having PSU would've helped the ACC as a wrestling conference also. I look for tech to be doing big things on the mat in a couple years.
I'd rather do a WVU home/home than a fedex game....but I'd rather do a home/home with UT, UK, SC, or GA than WVU. I think that those teams fall into our recruiting territory, and could raise our profile in those areas.
Odd that this is a topic, since I'm coming out with a "Where are they now?" story on Keith Burnell in tomorrow's paper. Burnell broke Damien Russell's school record in 2002, running a hand-timed 4.21.
D-Hall ran a 4.15 in 2003. (The inflation on those times is ridiculous, by the way.) I think that still stands up as the school record.

The Bristol game actually *can't* happen now. They built a large jumbo-tron type thing in the center of the grassy area. No room for football now.
My sister went to PSU and one of my good friends goes there so I'd love to play them in a series. I went to one of their games last year and let me just tell you that watching a game at Beaver Stadium is a must for any college football fan. Great atmosphere and the students really know how to cheer on their team. Would be a fun series for sure.
Ah, so we can recruit him. For everyone who complains about our football recruiting, here's your chance to show you can do better!
PSU @ FedEx (or home-away-neutral).
Tennessee (home-home, that Bristol game will never happen)
KY, sure, why not. USCe. UGA.
Texas A&M, let's do that one again.
But no WVU. I have no desire to rekindle that rivalry.
I think they're cool with it. Just talked to the resident Penn State/Pitt historian here at work and he says the grudge between the two schools goes back a long way. Apparently, back when Paterno was lobbying for an East Coast conference, Pitt was one of the schools that put the kibosh on it, so PSU joined the Big Ten instead. Later, Penn State wanted to have a home-home-away series with Pitt, which Pitt didn't like (obviously), but Penn State has always wanted about 900 home games per season (big stadium, lots of ticket money). Pitt, at one point, made it so that, in order to get a ticket for the PSU game, you had to buy season tickets. Since Pitt barely has fans (yellow out every game!), this would have meant PSU fans subsidizing the Pitt program. These two schools continue to mess with each other.
But Pitt plays Penn State in 2016, and from what my friend says, this might be the start of renewing the series. Now that Paterno and the old AD are gone, there are few roadblocks to playing again.
Not sure if I will have the money to make the trip, but a good friend's bachelor party is the Oregon vs Tennessee game in September at Eugene. If I make it, that should be a good one. I have heard that Clemson, Ole Miss, and Penn State are must visits.
