UCF is starting a true freshman QB who was third string going into the year. They're just rebuilding a bit. At this point it seems safe to say that beating the poo poo out of Stanford said a lot more about the current state of Stanford's program than it did about them

They're really bad in the middle of the defense, to the point that they were screwing around with a FB at DT for a bit, which went about as well as expected. Turns out that's bad when you play option teams and Wisconsin! On offense yeah, for all the hands off talk in the offseason it still looks a lot more like Harbaugh's offense than what Penn State and Bama were doing when Gattis was there, and I don't think Patterson is actually as good as his recruiting ranking (also he might be hurt?). They have really good receivers and should be taking tons of deep shots but that hasn't happened much

Komet posted:Gattis was a receiver coach at Penn State, and while he was really good at that and a great recruiter, it isn't clear why he should have moved up to co-OC at Alabama and OC at Michigan. Just because he was around while Joe Moorhead was OC doesn't necessarily make him Joe Moorhead. I mean, we seem to be seeing a drop off at OC at Penn State. So in that sense, it was a big risk for Michigan to upgrade him to OC without a longer stint of being a coordinator elsewhere. The question is: would Harbaugh even allow a more experienced coordinator run the offense without meddling? He had success every stop before this. The Bama offense was he co-OC for was one of the best in the country, someone hiring him to be full on OC is pretty natural. Working as a position coach for successful offenses is how people get OC jobs. I don't really know that whatever is happening at Michigan is really his fault either, these seem like mostly the same problems that have existed there for awhile and as much as Harbaugh talked about turning over the keys there was never really any reason to believe him given his personality and his career to this point. They've had like five coordinators and it's been the same issue pretty much every year aside from the random half season where Jake Rudock went supernova MourningView fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Sep 24, 2019 |

Harbaugh has been disappointing relative to expectations but I don't know that firing him would accomplish a lot. They've still been mostly a good to very good team during his tenure and short of Urban Meyer, which can't happen for a bunch of reasons, I still don't really see anyone available who would be an obvious upgrade.

Really the big issue with Michigan is that they can't stop comparing themselves to OSU but OSU is coming off a stretch where they had one of the two most successful coaches on the last, like, 20 years and has a lot of natural recruiting advantages over Michigan on top of that.Nissin Cup Nudist posted:They should hire James Franklin, he actually beat Ohio St once Look I already went through Ferentz to Michigan rumors once don't make me do it again.

Bird in a Blender posted:University of Iowa President threatening to cancel the Iowa/ISU game because of the band incident. I doubt that actually happens, but next year in Iowa may be ugly. I wouldn't mind seeing it take a break for a year or two if only so Iowa could play someone new but it's not gonna happen, there is too much political pressure to keep it going. Big fan of the Jamie Pollard press conference today where he once again made sure to point out that Iowa fans are mean too and then blamed the band for marching aggressively and using the wrong exit.

If you don't have a massive ego I can understand being happy with that amount of money. Also it's not like people are unaware that Veneables is good, he's had head coaching offers and doesn't seem interested. I'm sure there's a job out there he would take but it's going to need to be a really big one.

The police chief in the press conference today said the officers doing security for the band saw a "skirmish" and Iowa's list of allegations today mentions a confrontation between Iowa's band director and ISU facilities management about it so I guess I don't really believe that ISU was somehow totally unaware that anything happened even if they didn't have exact details. It'd have been nice if one of the kids had filed a formal police report but they're kids who were dealing with a scary situation so I think just going to school authorities is pretty normal. They assumed it would be handled from there and of course that got hosed up because Iowa's athletic department is wildly incompetent.

Like Gary Barta is wildly incompetent and should have been fired seven scandals ago but Pollard is basically a Cyclone Fanatic poster who also happens to have the ability to hold press conferences. And hey he's overseen maybe the strongest period for athletics they've ever had and seems to get their fanbase excited so I guess good for him, but some of that poo poo is so petty and dumb.

I can't actually find what the tweet was but the Busch Light Sign Guy got milkshake duck'd by the Des Moines Register and had to issue an apology for some lovely racist tweets he made when he was 16, and now Anheuser Busch is cutting ties with him. They're still gonna make the donation to the hospital (total is over a million now) but I assume the special beer can and stuff are done now.

They didn't even actually report it yet, I guess someone just dug through all his tweets and then called him for comment when they found a bad one so he issued the (honestly pretty good and heartfelt) apology to get out ahead of it? It was a Tosh.0 reference, apparently lol. The world is very stupid.

There's a world of difference between, for example, a stand-up comedian who can't stop using slurs whenever they're on a podcast and a dude who posted a dumb Tosh.0 joke when they were 16. if this is the thing that finally prompts people in this state to stop pretending that drinking one of the ten most popular beers in the country is an interesting personality quirk it would be a noble sacrifice MourningView fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Sep 25, 2019 |

If you wanted to be generous I guess you could say they wanted to make sure there wasn't anything lovely about the guy they were about to write a big glowing profile about? But even then it'd be pretty easy to just give him a chance to delete it, I don't think anyone would have had any idea given how long ago it was. It suspect it was mostly what Bird said though. King has handled it super well. A lot of the worst people on the internet are currently trying to turn him into an icon for PC Police Run Amok or the dangers of cancel culture or whatever, but he owned it, acknowledged that the tweets were lovely and made an actual apology (as opposed to the standard "sorry if you were offended" non-apology) and talked about how much he's learned and grown since then.
