pianoknight Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Regarding my Florida post earlier, don't get too caught up on the Gators specifically, I was meaning more in a metaphorical sense and just using UF since that was the team in the current discussion. But it could apply to other teams with scrapped games or a bunch of non-considered FCS wins.Tj, I'm assuming that you're a Duck fan based on your avatar, but I've enjoyed some of the OSU shirts I've been seeing around Corvallis and Eugene: "Shut The Duck Up." 5th in NAT.

ninersdd Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Tough start for Wazzu this year. Lost to Rutgers at home last week and will fall to Nevada tonight. Nevada-Arizona looks like an intriguing game next week. I wonder if it will be like the New Mexico Bowl 2 years ago.

Nevada-Arizona looks like an intriguing game next week. I wonder if it will be like the New Mexico Bowl 2 years ago.The Mike Leach/Texas Tech 12-1 season was not even an outlier. It was well beyond an outlier. You can have success with that style of offense, but you cannot have success with HIM.At Tech, Leach's Big XII record has a lot of wins against KU, IA State, and the Ron Prince era in Manhattan. Plus, his non-conference is loaded up with 11 combined wins against SMU and New Mexico and a load of FCS wins.Wazzu is stuck with him through 2018-19 and for those Miami (FL) fans angry at Al Golden being hired, Leach and his disregard for defense would have made the current lack of push from the DL even worse.

He hasn't put up nearly the same kind of numbers with the 49ers, but that dude was probably the best receiver in the country that year.

The same can be said for the Doak Walker winners (RB), Davey O'Brien winners (QB), Outland (linemen).Excelling at a higher lever should not dismiss one's prior performance, but as the old financial disclaimer says...Past Performance Is Not Necessarily Indicative of Future ResultsBack to Saturday, Charlie Strong had his EIGHTH player this season leave the program via dismissal or voluntary leave on Friday in Deoundrei Davis. Mack Brown used to get 5* junior commits. Strong is cleaning house and letting the Texas Ex that he is doing so a player at a time.As for QB David Ash, his parents need to tell him that it's over. If not them, some parental force needs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as worst team in the country go to the College Football thread in the sports logos form and check out College of Faith. -124 total offense with -100 yards rushing... wow. Apparently they aren't even associated with either the NCAA, NAIA, or even USCAA. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

rams80 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Online "for-profits" that are quite probably wirefraud scams really shouldn't be considered (because it would be too unfair). My very, very weak standards for consideration are "your school needs to have a wikipedia page".

dfwabel Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Florida Atlantic might just be the worst team in the country this year.Let's see...Pay the Motor City Bowl for your appearance to make your 2nd bowl in your school's history- CHECKHire Carl Pelini- CHECKHire an AD from a Power 5 school, but was just a PR guy for a while until moving into just fundraising, there has little management and people skills- CHECKSaid AD agrees to a stadium naming rights deal with a For Profit prison company then realizes that is a poor idea- CHECKSaid AD fires Carl Pelini over drug usage, then change your story to lack of supervision of staff, when you cannot prove drug usage- CHECKNot to mention their bevy of spare basketball coaches: Sidney Green, Matt Doherty , Rex Walters, Mike Jarvis and now Michael Curry.Yea, you summed it up well.

Germanshepherd Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I was so excited that Nebraska just scored the game winning touchdown against McNeese State. But then I realized they had to score a game winning touchdown to beat McNeese state. It's one of the weirdest feelings ever when you're jumping up and down in excitement while you're disappointed. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Tonight is going to be a tough game for Sparty, but I'm confident that they can leave Eugene with the W. They're a good, but underrated team and this game is an excellent opportunity to turn some heads and even recieve some consideration for the playoff.

Then USC #10 targeting late hit out of bounds. Then Stanford fumbles ball, USC recovers. Wow. Crazy five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
