Eh, they haven't actually beaten anyone notable (ISU is maaaaybe a bowl team?). If they play like they did last night on defense regularly going forward the wins will come and they'll get into the rankings. Way too early to care now.
Fair enough. Hopefully we'll see yinz in Indianapolis. :getin:

Bad, very bad!
As usual Bill C said it better than I could about Barry Odom's rant after the loss last night. Which is a good thing since he gets paid to write for a living I guess.

quote:

Plus, the examples Odom used during his rant — the Larry Smith era, 2004 and 2012 at Mizzou, the Memphis rebuild — require some context.

1. He didn’t inherit what Larry Smith inherited. I think we can agree that he didn’t exactly inherit peak Pinkel-level talent, but that “wall” that Smith had to break down was infinitely bigger than the one Odom is dealing with. Same goes for the Memphis rebuild that he took on with Justin Fuente.
2. Fuente’s team showed massive second-year improvement, by the way.
3. Pinkel was in his fourth season and had generated three straight years of improvement before his 2004 stumble. And even in 2004, one side of the ball (defense) was showing promise. And Mizzou only lost one game by more than 17 points. Mizzou has now lost three straight by that much.
4. In 2012, Missouri was dealing with quarterback injuries and still beat Arizona State and Tennessee and 10-win UCF and lost three games by tiny margins.

Patience requires a baseline of proof. Justin Fuente and Gary Pinkel provided it. Larry Smith needed a while to provide it at Mizzou but had at least done so in other head coaching gigs. In winning the Big Things battles but losing via Little Things, Missouri was providing it at least a hair under Odom. But now the Tigers are dealing with their second straight Big Things loss. You’ve got eight games to provide more evidence, Coach.

Georgia is a top 4 talent composite team with a QB that doesn't suck, expectations should be very high despite everyone trying not to get their hopes up or w/e.

But if you went back in time to kill Sandusky, there might not have been a defense worth going back in time to retrieve.

A paradox the Penn State Fan must live with.

Sandusky had been retired for five years by that point, so it wouldn't have made a difference if he was had been strung up at a Sheetz like Mussolini or not.

What if UGA goes to Knoxville, plays solid and competently and beats UT by 2 scores in a fairly boring, injury-less, low-scoring affair? Kirby Smart would rub it raw, but the rest of us, on both sides, given recent history, will be left utterly befuddled.

You should take up smoking pot - it'll help you relax.

TCU's defense was really good through 3 quarters, OSU's was very good through much of the 4th. But both teams also have incredible offenses that are hard to stop - I thought each defense did pretty well considering.
