Official UMass game thread... Brought to you by NOHOLLOWAYUPTHEMIDDLE.com

[Bass Chaser]

Smokey having a pretty good game.

[starkvegasdawg]

No way that's a catch.

[Vandelay Industries]

How are these replay people so bad, Ball was moving

[Delmar]

That was an awful call. The ball was moving.

[Really Clark?]

I don't think that was the right call

[Dawgology]

That wasn't a touchdown. I guess they gave us a freebie earlier in the game. Still BS

[mparkerfd20]

How the fuk do you get the replay wrong 3 times?

[Coursesuper]

What game are theses asshole watching

[GreenheadDawg]

Is Ray Charles doing these reviews?

[Really Clark?]

Replay guy has a bunch riding on UMASS covering.

[preachermatt83]

Peters does a very good job in coverage. He and Durr are our best coverage guys.

[Indndawg]

Smfh

[youraveragesavage]

Tennessee now winning 30-21

[msstate7]

These are sec officials correct? Aren't replays handled in Birmingham then?

[Goldendawg]

Our talent and lack of depth at many positions is a question mark, but you can't tell me our constant turnover of D coaches has not had a negative effect on the development of many of our players.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

The fat lady hasn't sung yet.

[starkvegasdawg]

Replay officials chosen by game of red rover.

[Bothrops]

Should have knocked the ball down instead.

[preachermatt83]

Potentially the best decision Mullen has made this season is sticking with Fitz through the bad times in this game.

He basically gave the players that are Damian lovers the middle finger & told them to deal with it & play football.

Fitz has responded

Best post of the whole thread. You sir are correct.

[TNDawg35]

These are sec officials correct? Aren't replays handled in Birmingham then?

I may be wrong, but I thought that was only in SEC conference games.

[Bothrops]

I'll be a little shocked if we score another touchdown. My final prediction is 41-34.

[Sacrifice]

We need our running game to show up now

[RougeDawg]

I don't think theses are sec refs. No way they'd be employed after clock strikes 00:00. This is the worst officiated MSU game since Houston 2009.

[LC Dawg]

Tennessee now winning 30-21
Yep. Maybe the booing at halftime worked. My guess is that if they hold on and win Butch will have some comments about the booing.

[ShotgunDawg]

Either way, changing DCs every year has become a huge problem.

This pass defense is embarrassing. Horrendous

[Goldendawg]

I think they are SEC officials, but that doesn't mean much in some of the bad calls I've seen or not seen in many games this year.

[msstate7]

I may be wrong, but I thought that was only in SEC conference games.

I pray these aren't sec officials... they looked a play 5 mins before overturning it. There's no way you watch something that many times and be convinced 100%

[Coursesuper]

I don't think theses are sec refs. No way they'd be employed after clock strikes 00:00. This is the worst officiated MSU game since Houston 2009.

This is an SEC crew.

[BoomBoom]

I hear about it all the time, but I don't recall ever seeing it.

he has no acceleration either. every time he makes a cut, he looks like my dog on my kitchen floor.

[Bothrops]

Either way, changing DCs every year has become a huge problem.

This pass defense is embarrassing. Horrendous

Well said and accurate.

[Saltydog]

[Liverpooldawg]

Either way, changing DCs every year has become a huge problem.

Yes, if you want to really get on Dan this is a great place. Stability is how you build things without cheating.

[starkvegasdawg]

Go for it.

[RocketDawg]

I don't think theses are sec refs. No way they'd be employed after clock strikes 00:00. This is the worst officiated MSU game since Houston 2009.

The white hat certainly is. See him all the time. Don't know about the others, but I assume they work as a team.

[msstate7]

If Dan is fired, that play on 3rd and shorts will be main reason for his demise

[Dawgface]

NT

Yep.

[Sacrifice]

If I see Desper stand around one more time while his guy makes a tackle, I'm litterely gonna throw up on myself

[RougeDawg]

Sometimes the offense works.

If we had a bunch of 6'4" WRs that ran 4.5s, we'd be a pretty good offense


This is an SEC crew.

And missed 3 replays today? No way they grade high after this one.

[ShotgunDawg]

If Dan is fired, that play on 3rd and shorts will be main reason for his demise

that 3rd down QB run had no chance of success due to the defensive alignment. NONE

[Irondawg]

Come on defense

[starkvegasdawg]

Do we refuse to cover the TE on some obscure religious principle?

[ShotgunDawg]

Every pass is wide open

[starkvegasdawg]

And missed 3 replays today? No way they grade high after this one.

They're an AL crew.

[BeardoMSU]

Do we refuse to cover the TE on some obscure religious principle?

#scientology

[msstate7]

Qb faster than Richie

[Apoplectic]

Richie is just awful

[youraveragesavage]

Our dline is getting man handled at the los

[Goldendawg]

What makes you think the SEC would send a highly ranked officiating crew to MSU/UMASS?

[TaleofTwoDogs]

If I see Nick James get punked one more time................

[Vandelay Industries]

Of course this game is not over

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow we can't stand prosperity

[Sacrifice]

Receivers are open in 2 sec. unreal!

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Why is Ward playing significant snaps in crunch time?

[msstate7]

Richie is just awful
He's the worst defender we have and that's saying something. We have to go with Gerri green inside with Leo

[Delmar]

Do we refuse to cover the TE on some obscure religious principle?

Yes. Scientology.

[starkvegasdawg]

Finally a sack.

[GreenheadDawg]

Is this seriously considered an SEC defense?

[msstate7]

Why is Ward playing significant snaps in crunch time?

Why is Richie? Ward is an AA compared to Richie right now. Richie is either hurt or in the worst shape of his career

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Why is Ward playing significant snaps in crunch time?

Because he's been our second best LB this year behind Leo.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

that 3rd down QB run had no chance of success due to the defensive alignment. NONE

6 defenders in the box vs 5 blockers...stupid play.

[RougeDawg]

What makes you think the SEC would send a highly ranked officiating crew to MSU/UMASS?

These refs aren't even JUCO talent level refs. They've missed every replay, not to mention the entire first half of holding.

[starkvegasdawg]

Why is Richie? Ward is an AA compared to Richie right now. Richie is either hurt or in the worst shape of his career

Married life taking its toll.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

If I see Desper stand around one more time while his guy makes a tackle, I'm litterely gonna throw up on myself

Fitz rips off a great run and the OL stands over him while he is on the ground and no one attempts to help him up. Then they just say screw on the third down play and run to the sidelines. Screw the OL, the only thing they are shittier at than blocking is being a teammate.

[Apoplectic]

Why is Ward playing significant snaps in crunch time?

I don't even know who Ward is

[msstate7]

Is this seriously considered an SEC defense?

Frustrating, I know, but...

South Carolina and lsu 37 in 8 quarters
Umass 28 in 3.5

[ShotgunDawg]

6 defenders in the box vs 5 blockers...stupid play.

https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4175174/watudoin.0.gif

[Goldendawg]

Ward gets significant snaps due being a Sr walk-on who has served his time in the system. Better young talent does not factor in. This does not come into play just at RB.

[LC Dawg]

Duke is beating ND by 3 with 1:15 left.

[Sacrifice]

Are our DBs so bad we can't play bump and run on freakin UMass?

[msstate7]

Married life taking its toll.

Time for us to divorce him from his playing time

[Delmar]

Big hold on that play.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Poor tackling

[Apoplectic]

Trifecta on that play

Ward Richie and Coman all missed a tackle. M

[Quaoarsking]

Just like South Alabama, every time UMass has to have a big play, they get it.

[defiantdog]

Get Brown off the ****ing field! He is the worst ****ing tackler!

[Sacrifice]

What an embarrassment for our defense. We have to much talent to be playing like this

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense is hidious

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Ward gets significant snaps due being a Sr walk-on who has served his time in the system. Better young talent does not factor in. This does not come into play just at RB.

So far this year he has been better than Green and Richie.

[Red Sox Dawg]

17

[Sacrifice]

We in trouble

[EdDawg]

I've never seen a LB try to make a tackle with their hands as much as Richie does.

[Bothrops]

We might lose

[Vandelay Industries]

Holy crap we might lose this game

[GreenheadDawg]

Frustrating, I know, but...

South Carolina and lsu 37 in 8 quarters
Umass 28 in 3.5

Season high points for them right now. We have zero fire. None

[defiantdog]

I hope we lose

[msstate7]

Get Brown off the ****ing field! He is the worst ****ing tackler!
He's the worst player on the team that's getting significant playing time

[Goldendawg]

I don't understand the love for Sirmon as a possible interim HC if there was no Dan. Has he even been a fulltime DC anywhere b4 Dan found him for our plug-in one year DC job?

[starkvegasdawg]

How do we give this QB that much time. Pathetic. Just pathetic.

[RougeDawg]

Anyone notice the 2-3 holds and block in back on that play? We had people closing and they got pushed in back or held.

Then more holds on that TD. What the f*ck was that take down?

[Sacrifice]

Huge missed hold on James by the center

[Maroonthirteen]

Sadly......this game isn't over. Merlin better get Sirmon to fail up a stop here. Or....this game will come down to the wire. USA part 2

[Apoplectic]

Bryant with play to the right defends with a right hand. Great coaching!

[Quaoarsking]

Sure wish we'd gone for 2 at some point...

[Bothrops]

Is there a team in D1 that is worse than us on pass defense? Serious question...

[sandjunky]

I don't understand the love for Sirmon as a possible interim HC if there was no Dan. Has he even been a fulltime DC anywhere b4 Dan found him for our plug-in one year DC job?

No

[ShotgunDawg]

Dude, it's UMASS

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Just like South Alabama, every time UMass has to have a big play, they get it.

We're sort of the antithesis of this.

[Goldendawg]

This is not our secondary's fault. With no Staley to practice against, they didn't know how to defense a lefty QB!

[mparkerfd20]

Damn we gonna lose 42-41 and miss a 25yd fg at the end

[starkvegasdawg]

Can we just fire everybody? Bring Jackie and Joe Lee back as interim.

[Maroonthirteen]

We better answer here. Or we will lose 42-41.

[youraveragesavage]

Oh no, we suck again

[Saltydog]

nt

[Irondawg]

Yeah we got held like no tomorrow on that Td

[Apoplectic]

Aubie DB grinds helmet into helmetless etling

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Plenty of time for them to score a couple more TDs.... but don't worry this is a rebuilding year for us. **

[Liverpooldawg]

Our defense is hidious

In their defense, both of those last two plays on that drive occurred because of blatent take down holds that weren't called. I'm not talking about tricky tac stuff that is never called. I'm talking about spin around tackles by offensive players.

[youraveragesavage]

Thank you sweet Jesus we're not playing mizzou today

[Really Clark?]

Anyone notice the 2-3 holds and block in back on that play? We had people closing and they got pushed in back or held.

Then more holds on that TD. What the f*ck was that take down?

Horribly called game

[Cowboydawg]

UMASS scored 35 points in their first 3 games...combined

[Irondawg]

His is absolutely pitiful. Nobody on this team knows how to win. In 3 of our games so far we've asked a unit to win it. The defense is 0-1 and the offense is 0-2. Let's see what happens here but this has all been in the defense. We gave them a 3 score lead in the 4th quarter against flippin UMass

[EdDawg]

Odds that Holloway will get the ball between the tackles?

[BankerDog]

I laugh every time I hear Brandon Bryant talking about going to the NFL.

[RougeDawg]

Dude, it's UMASS

Dude it's still holding. When half your players have their jerseys grabbed on more than a dozen or so plays it can hurt you. Every scoring or big play they've had you can see them stretching out jerseys. It makes a difference, no matter who you play.

[defiantdog]

Yeah we got held like no tomorrow on that Td
It's UMass! Rip the 200lb OL off you and hit a mother****er!

[Goldendawg]

I said two quarters ago we should have gone for 2 after a TD.

[Op4isabitch]

This is an SEC crew, they must want us to lose. A blind dead person could see all the holding, why the frick isn't it being called? In this game it is a huge factor.

[Bass Chaser]

Fitz rips off a great run and the OL stands over him while he is on the ground and no one attempts to help him up. Then they just say screw on the third down play and run to the sidelines. Screw the OL, the only thing they are shittier at than blocking is being a teammate.

That's the same shit as last year.

[ScoobaDawg]

Did he just say if UMASS hols us to a FG they can still be in it? uhm.. how do you score 9 on one play

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Oh no, we suck again

http://www.quickmeme.com/img/a6/a62a93f93010826d4e3a662fe93e68677cc9c4eefa491f0bd4 910b6801792f08.jpg

[Apoplectic]

Clock doesn't stop if clock is over 2 min

[RougeDawg]

Our football IQ is borderline mentally disabled.

[EdDawg]

Why the hell is shumpert trying to run outside? Lower your shoulder!

[Really Clark?]

It's UMass! Rip the 200lb OL off you and hit a mother****er!

Yeah about twice that. He is 392 lbs

[Dawgface]

Oh yes....going into the prevent offense now.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Don't get too conservative

[ScoobaDawg]

Sadly......this game isn't over. Merlin better get Sirmon to fail up a stop here. Or....this game will come down to the wire. USA part 2

Call him Merlin again and you can take a Vacation

[DudyDawg]

Did he just say if UMASS hols us to a FG they can still be in it? uhm.. how do you score 9 on one play
We noticed that too. Has this guy ever actually seen a game before

[Bothrops]

If we had played Georgia today we would have lost by 2 touchdowns.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Huge

[Really Clark?]

Gutsy call Mullen and good pass Fitz

[LC Dawg]

Good call on the pass to Ross

[EdDawg]

Taino will not get any playing time this year, because we can not keep a comfortable lead.

[Liverpooldawg]

Dude, it's UMASS

I agree but if you are allowed to grad defensive players and throw them on the ground it's a huge stinking advantage. That's why it's against the rules.

[starkvegasdawg]

That took balls.

[RocketDawg]

Why the hell is shumpert trying to run outside? Lower your shoulder!

Well, it worked. He got a TD.

[Really Clark?]

Dang Shump!! Where has that speed been

[mparkerfd20]

Offense says f this we winning right here.

[LC Dawg]

Mullen just can't help himself sometimes. What was that?

[EdDawg]

Not on the run where he could have gotten 5 more yards if he turns it up and lowers his shoulder. A back his size shouldn't run out of bounds when he has a DB in front of him.

[BankerDog]

Shump why I haven't we seen that your whole career? Way to run pissed off son

[HereComesTheSpiral]

We noticed that too. Has this guy ever actually seen a game before

Or pass elementary math

[DownwardDawg]

Taino will not get any playing time this year, because we can not keep a comfortable lead.

Yep. Not sure how much he'll get next year.

[RocketDawg]

Stupid penalty. Why'd he do that??

[Bothrops]

We're still trying to lose.

[Sacrifice]

Fitz 412 yards total offense. 3 TDs

[HereComesTheSpiral]

We have the dumbest players, hitting people out of bounds

[starkvegasdawg]

17 us how many personal fouls we going to commit? Kick the mother 17ing ball through the end zone and it's a moot point. Shit.

[Vandelay Industries]

This game is still not over, D will give up a TD here

[It_Could_Happen]

How many personal fouls/late hits did we get?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Peters, that's stupid.

[HancockCountyDog]

Great to see Jamal Peters making an impact.

[Really Clark?]

Peters...why

[GreenheadDawg]

Nice play call on the 2-pt. Wow Dan

[Goldendawg]

Anyone else notice Shump holding the ball in the wrong arm as he scored the TD? We have a great RB Coach or maybe Shump will learn next year. OOPS! Never mind.

[youraveragesavage]

This close game is 100% on the defense. No way they should have scored 35

[GreenheadDawg]

No ****ing discipline

[LC Dawg]

17 us how many personal fouls we going to commit? Kick the mother 17ing ball through the end zone and it's a moot point. Shit.
I don't think Graves can kick it through the end zone.

[ScoobaDawg]

I don't understand the love for Sirmon as a possible interim HC if there was no Dan. Has he even been a fulltime DC anywhere b4 Dan found him for our plug-in one year DC job?

It's just posters being dumb. no way in hell do we name him the interim. no way we fire dan before the season is over even if its deserved.

[Vandelay Industries]

This game is still not over, D will give up a TD here

Reverse Jinx

[Coach007]

Again, stop acting like we were going to be a top team this season. My God some of you need to dri k less on game day.

We lost Dak, Bear, Brown, 2 starting g Cbs etc etc. We knew it would be a 5-8 win season.

Next year will be an 8 win minimum with a shot at top 10.

[starkvegasdawg]

I don't think Graves can kick it through the end zone.
We've done it this season so someone can. Did it this game.

[youraveragesavage]

No excuse for shump not looking like this his soph year

[DownwardDawg]

I don't think Graves can kick it through the end zone.

Why isn't Logan Cooke kicking? He was kicking it out against USA.
I think it was him.

[HancockCountyDog]

Winning this game feels like your neighbor telling you that your wife is the best screw on the block.

[RougeDawg]

We noticed that too. Has this guy ever actually seen a game before

I'm sure he's see our defense, so Give him some credit.

[youraveragesavage]

Has Graves handled all KO's? I think I read last week, Cooke was hurt and could only punt?

[ScoobaDawg]

Again, stop acting like we were going to be a top team this season. My God some of you need to dri k less on game day.

We lost Dak, Bear, Brown, 2 starting g Cbs etc etc. We knew it would be a 5-8 win season.

Next year will be an 8 win minimum with a shot at top 10.

You really are drinking the koolaid that we are young and this is on the players and not the coaching... I STRONGLY disagree

[Sacrifice]

I'm so happy for Shump. I've been on his ass forever. It's great to see him playing well

[DudyDawg]

No one expected to win 10. They certainly didn't expect to lose to usa and struggle with UMass. How do you not understand why people are pissed?

[RougeDawg]

Winning this game feels like your neighbor telling you that your wife is the best screw on the block.

Golden.

[Apoplectic]

Strickland should kick Dan in the nuts everytime Holloway runs between the tackles again after the way shump ran in the 4Q

[starkvegasdawg]

Winning this game feels like your neighbor telling you that your wife is the best screw on the block.
And what makes it worse is that she never screws you.

[Dawgface]

Well State and OM are both 2-2 with one win each in the SEC. I guess we are both about the same?

[Coach007]

You really are drinking the koolaid that we are young and this is on the players and not the coaching... I STRONGLY disagree

In leadership on both sides. We are. And that's the difference you see this season.

What LBS did we lose ? What linemen did we lose?

Again, some of you are not thinking. Just emotional rag time...

[Really Clark?]

Dang Shump!! Good running. Over 600 yards on a day we struggled badly

[dawgday166]

Bartender / Coke dealer or someone ... please give me some of what he's having. It obviously has him feeling gooood!

[Vandelay Industries]

I was confident we could win the next 5 games, starting with today's game. No way in hell I see that now

[mparkerfd20]

We absolutely can win the next 4.

[starkvegasdawg]

How bad is USCe?

[Goldendawg]

Look at our 2017 schedule, lack of talent, constant D coaching turnover, and 10 to 14 recruiting in the SEC under Mullen and his buddy O staff lately. No way we win 8 games next year.

[mparkerfd20]

Can as in have the ability.... I don't think we will tho

[GreenheadDawg]

Well State and OM are both 2-2 with one win each in the SEC. I guess we are both about the same?

Shirley you're not serious and you forgot these **.

[LC Dawg]

Why isn't Logan Cooke kicking? He was kicking it out against USA.
I think it was him.
Cooke tweaked something and hasn't kicked in a couple of games. I don't know when it happened but first I noticed is when he didn't kickoff any in the 2nd half at LSU.

[DownwardDawg]

I'm so happy for Shump. I've been on his ass forever. It's great to see him playing well

If he would run like this the rest of the season it would make a huge difference.

[Vandelay Industries]

We absolutely can win the next 4.

Of course we can, I just lost a lot of confidence in this team today

[RougeDawg]

Dang Shump!! Good running. Over 600 yards on a day we struggled badly

Definitely mixed emotions after that one. With all of the shit that went on and lackadaisical attitude in the first half, we sure did come back in the 2nd half and showed some sparks from younger guys. This team needs to find a leader come together and just play.

[Goldendawg]

No way we beat Auburn.

[starkvegasdawg]

Two positives from this game. Fitz played the entire game and responded well and Shump finally showed what we all thought he was capable of.

[Really Clark?]

Definitely mixed emotions after that one. With all of the shit that went on and lackadaisical attitude in the first half, we sure did come back in the 2nd half and showed some sparks from you see guys. This team needs to find a leader come together and just play.

I agree. To rush and throw for 299 yards each...this team has to find some leaders and learn how to play all 4 quarters. They haven't quit on Mullen but just can't get out of their own way.

[chef dixon]

No way we beat Auburn.

I wouldn't bet on us for anything, but we match up pretty well with them.

[Dawgface]

Shirley you're not serious and you forgot these **.

Don't call me Shirley.

[jbjones]

I kind of liked to see Fitz doing "leader" type things. He's tapping/patting linemen...backs...receivers after nearly every play. He's blocking, paying attention. He's helping RB/WR up. Big thing is, HE's being helped up by his teammates. I'm seeing things that tells me that Fitz either had a big talking to, or a big awakening. He still has to work on his throws, but what I saw today was positive. I 'aint giving up on this team. It doesn't look good, but I'm still not selling out. Yet.

-JB

[Goldendawg]

One post today stated Ward (Senior walk on now on scholarship) is our second best LB on the team. Is this an indictment on our recruiting or poor D coaching if indeed true? I think it is the Holloway deal extended to the LB position.

[dawgday166]

Probably so. And everyone will be going "Whoo, Whoo! What a comeback! Great 2nd half effort! We're on a way now!"

After USA, 1st half of LSU, how can you not show up to play ball today?

I was wrong on this. My bad. There is still some concern with the D ... our 1st year coordinator may need to be fired. But we now have a juggernaut of an offense and Shump is almost as good (and as fast) as Fournette.

Unfortunately he has been our second best through the first 4 games. It may not continue, but based on actual play, he has been our second best. And that's not good.

[msstate7]

I was wrong on this. My bad. There is still some concern with the D ... our 1st year coordinator may need to be fired. But we now have a juggernaut of an offense and Shump is almost as good (and as fast) as Fournette.

Yeah, that's the consensus here.

[Really Clark?]

Green had a nice game at TE today as well

[the59dawg]

Definitely mixed emotions after that one. With all of the shit that went on and lackadaisical attitude in the first half, we sure did come back in the 2nd half and showed some sparks from younger guys. This team needs to find a leader come together and just play.

So lackadaisical we only gained 306 yds in first half. Fitz's passing was off in Q1 otherwise would prob scored twice in 1st.

He plays his ass off.. And seems to always be around the ball. I call that a smart football player that does his job.. maybe that's the problem with Jung and JT..

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Richie should be better than Ward. So should Gerri Green. But they haven't been in the first 4 games.

[jbjones]

Coach Knox on Post Game Show. Unremarkable, to say the least. I could have given a better review of the game, and I was outside yelling most of the time. Pathetic.

Commercial now...we'll see if they can wrangle up any OTHER coaches...

[the59dawg]

I wouldn't bet on us for anything, but we match up pretty well with them.

I bet my vcash on the over today. Turned out ok.

[Really Clark?]

So lackadaisical we only gained 306 yds in first half. Fitz's passing was off in Q1 otherwise would prob scored twice in 1st.

Some of that and hurt keeping drives going were the drops. Didn't see a particular WR much the second half

Richie should be better than Ward. So should Gerri Green. But they haven't been in the first 4 games.

Gerri green needs to be in richie's spot. Richie has no range so far this year, no stopping power, and missing tackles. He's either hurt or in terrible shape

[LC Dawg]

Green had a nice game at TE today as well
He did. Had some nice blocks as well as catches and the td.

Maybe Bama paying their SC what they do makes more sense now...

Definitely think we need to upgrade s&c

Maybe loss of Benji a year early hurt the LB corps more than we knew. Also read he got cut off an NFL practice squad recently. Don't know if he's hooked up with anyone else. Could be another JRobb and Bear bad decision.

We could be a much better team with bear, Fred brown, and b. Brown,

I agree and lazy recruiting has really hurt, plus constant turnover of coaches on D.

Not that the game was embarrassing enough..

But what kind of shit show bullshit call was that on the 2 point try..? Coaches probably have a half dozen or so plays that used for 2 point conversions.. Is that one of his?? I guess good thing is we won't use it again..
Shit what's next the fumblerooski?

[msbulldog]

It's UMass! Rip the 200lb OL off you and hit a mother****er!

They have a tackle that weighs 396 lb.

Coach Knox on Post Game Show. Unremarkable, to say the least. I could have given a better review of the game, and I was outside yelling most of the time. Pathetic.

Commercial now...we'll see if they can wrangle up any OTHER coaches...

Ok, CDM is on now. He's sounding a bit more upbeat than after the USA loss. Still using the "young" angle. "They're figuring it out". He recognizes that we are not consistent. He recognized Fitz throws are not exactly consistent either.

Going to watch film...etc..etc..young football team. He's really sounding, to me, like he's giving a shit. This is positive.

He's saying lot's of shit that makes me think he's not quite yet mailed it in. I can't type fast enough.

I'm hoping it's just to show teams something on film... maybe running a garbage play like keeps safeties from crashing the LOS vs better teams later

B Brown wasn't going to get any bigger or faster, and he had already graduated or only had like 1 class to go.

[Goldendawg]

But probably not a NFL talent. Hope I'm wrong and he sticks somewhere. He might have helped us if he stayed in school, but he has made some NFL $. Not trying to be selfish about his decision. He was a good Lb for us his JR year.

[msbulldog]

Well we won! Didn't look real good! But Shump & Aeries looked good, saw a lot of other young players. These guys are our future, good to see them playing. Here's to good luck the rest of the season. HAIL STATE!

[Goldendawg]

How is Shump our future? He is a true Senior! He never redshirted.

[RougeDawg]

Getting close to 1k posts in this one. Must mean many of us didn't travel today.

[Goldendawg]

Heck, I'm getting closer and closer to my 1000th post. Do I at least get half another green bar or something?

[Goldendawg]

Hey, don't forget, we better not badmouth UMASS. Don't we have to play them 2 years in Starkvegas now?

[msbulldog]

Sorry didn't mean to offend you, I realize Shump is a Senior, just glad to see him have the opportunity and do good. Also good to see CDM giving more players the opportunity.

Green bar may be rep points. Not sure.

[Goldendawg]

I hope Shump also continues to successfully run hard for good yards. We need improvement in so many areas at this time. I don't see Dan sitting upper classmen for a youth movement even if it does get worse.
