In some ways they may be but typically it is the teams with the 4 and 5 * star guys beating down the teams with 3*. LSU, Bama, Texas, Okla, all comprised of 4 and 5* guys and all routinely beat down the lesser guys. Sure, you may slip up and catch them but rarely. They all win 10-12 games per year, every year in very hard conferences.
Tenn is decimated by the idiot they previously hired and the youth they have.
What about the past 10yrs fsu was suppose to have had top 10 classes but haven’t won shit? What bout programs like vtech, oregon, tcu, and boise who don’t get many top classes but win every year.
Dude I could have saved you some time and effort. I have a kid being recruited by Iowa plus I worked for a former nba player from Iowa state. They have nothing to do up there but play football. They live an breath football up there. Thats it.
As for the state of mich not knowing how to play football, I’ll somewhat agree with you. Granted Im from virginia and thats all we do down there from sun up to sun down. The state of mich is way behind in some sports (not all).
Now as far as TCU, Ill admit I was rooting for them and yeah Lane Kiffen does some dumb things and is arrogant but he is a good coach
the state of Iowa lives and breathes wrestling. Unfortunately, wrestling is not nationally popular. Iowa and Iowa State are wrestling schools. But football is right up there. Of course, football is probably top dog up here, but hey, it is everywhere… and im happy about that.
A lot of times when those teams play the teams I referred to they get beat.
Of course a class full of supposed studs doesn’t guarantee anything but lets not act like the talent doesn’t help Texas, Bama, LSU, etc. In fact, some of those teams win in spite of their coaching and due largely to their talent, i.e. LSU.
My man you knew he was doomed from day 1! Especially with nobody liking him as a person, he was fighting a uphill battle. He even admitted he had no support.
the media was really premature in saying he got fired. It is not a done deal. If they can’t get Harbaugh, I think it is going to make it difficult to fire RR. Who is coming Hoke? If I were Brandon, if I can’t get my guy, I keep RR. I would stipulate that he coaches only the offense directly. Bring in a defensive guru and let him put a system in place. Bring in a stud special teams guy as well. If RR doesn’t agree, boot him. Barwis needs to learn how to train guys to compete in the Big Ten. This isn’t the Big East. You need a blend of speed and power. They aren’t exclusive of each other. OSU looks pretty solid. They are redeeming the Big Ten somewhat. By the way, I was in Columbus last Sunday. They don’t hate us anymore, they feel pity. They said they love RR. They also said the game is pretty boring now that U of M is a doormat for OSU.
Yeah, OSU actually looks physical and athletic unlike the other big 10 teams but they are playing pretty much the worst defense in the SEC.
Not like OSU really stopping Arky, Arky has dropped 2 tds. Aubie scored over 60 on Arky, Miss State over 40. Their defense blows.
aren’t you the guy who was blowing Michigan up? Do you really think RR is real high on anyones radar screen after the past 3 years? He turned a solid football program into a joke. That wasn’t Lloyd, that was your boy RR. He will get a job, but nothing marquee. Nobody is handing him the keys to the kingdom. Can’t go back to WVU, he burned that bridge. Chip Kelly knows how to run his O better than he does. I am honest when I assess things and I was correct on all fronts when he got hired. I said they were going to stink the joint up and they have. I predicted how they would get pushed around. That is Barwis department. The whole regime looks inept period. You may like they guy but he has sucked and you are delusional if you think otherwise.
Way to go Mallett. Typical Mallett fashion against better teams. Not convinced ole Jethro gonna be the big time NFL qb many think. Tries to force a lot.
As much as I despise big 10 and oh state in particular, I love Tressel. Pure class guy. A good man.
