Pathetic. They run the same fucking dink and dunk shit every play and Bedford isn't doing shit. Stop blitzing fucking dumbass.

I missed your ridiculously angry posts during the offseason. Good to see some things never change. :jnc

Yup I'm ridiculously angry dude. Just broke 3 remotes and went next door to break my neighbors, obviously.

Understandable. We are prettyshitty.

Boom. Now hopefully that was enough time for Strong to put some boots to defensive asses.

Nice blocking for UL.

Before this drive starts: shocking bit of news. Joker will screen the ball over and over. How about covering for a change D?
TheNatural

Gotta say, I know it's UK's defense, but Watson with his own gameplan has really turned the offense around. no more 'wildcard' bullshit.
Was this guy really that bad as OC at Nebraska?

Heh, that's funny. I was over in Section VV as you can sort of see from that photo. We had a pretty decent view except for the far end zone. Where were you sitting?

Almost as good as the refs blowing the call before the kick. Even if it was a forward pass it was grounding - I guess they can't walk and chew gum. Then again, it's an SEC crew, so no surprise there.

Oh yeah, that was absolutely grounding. Louisville's running game today has been a pleasant surprise today. I can't believe how well Bridgewater is playing- crazy that he's just a sophomore. Louisville is a really, really good team that's only going to get better. Hopefully James Quick signs with them so we can see at least one year of a Bridgewater-Quick connection.

A new one there too.
"If they come out of this with a FG, they're still just a couple possessions down"
25-7 = 18.
Guess the new 3 point conversion is being debuted.

LOL bitch ass punter crying. Maybe next time you won't talk shit over twitter.

The first ever 10 point play.
Edit: UL did have 22 before that play, right? Or did I miss something? I don't know what's happening.

Hit a FG the previous possession.

I see, then. Whoops.

Stupid ass defense. At least there's plenty to work on for the FCS game.
TheNatural

WTF Strong, why the fuck would you put Stein in?
TheNatural
My Member!
I don't know if Strong is trying to help Joker save face or what, but this is fucking stupid.

As George O'Leary says, you're only an ankle away from your backup QB. Game is basically over, might as well get him some game reps. Then again Terry is still young and probably wouldn't hurt to get as many reps as possible.
I think we all knew that after his vehement and persistent insistence that the NCAA was going to leave Penn State alone.

SMU already giving the game away.

Rage in these threads is normal behavior in the MMA thread. I have to remember to put on the kid gloves coming into other parts of the forum.

Oh Mississippi State...

Garrett Gilbert still looks like Garrett Gilbert out there.
Swing by the c baskets thread during the season for real rage by the natch.
I did a tour of the stadium last year. Got to go into Jones' "nest," the locker rooms, onto the field, etc. Probably the most amazing modern building I've ever been in. Would LOVE to see a game there sometime.

Ohio State and Nebraska are definitely the Big 10 leaders this year

Just got back from watching the game...I was a very happy guy. There's no question our offense has vastly improved, and our D needs more tackling drills and fine tuning...but this was a joy to watch.
I'm going through your hilariously angry posts, Nat...and while I don't agree with you on mosr of you criticism, I did on this quote.

Dude called Louisville a dump, got dumped on.

I said as much as Strong did about the D. It's going to be a good unit, today they showed some kinks they need to iron out.
I feel like if we can get past UNC, then we have a chance to run the table, since it's another month until USF at home after that. UNC and USF are the two toughest teams on the schedule.
Gilbert didn't look awful there on the end. Made two good throws that hit his receivers in the hands. His confidence has got to be at an all time low.

glad to see rest of my fellow Cards fans back for another season, and you too pollux
so that game...
Offense looks much improved over last year, Teddy had a near flawless game, oh and on that one scramble...dat stiff arm lol. I understand that you dont want to risk an injury in game 1 by leaving Teddy in there but I think he got pulled a series too soon. Let him get another scoring drive, put the game completely out of reach before you put Stein in and go to ultra conservative play calling. It's the one thing I still don't lie about Strong is he calls the dogs off when we build a little bit of a lead, and it has cost us games before. Petrino would pull starters but still go for the dagger, granted we had a deeper dept chart.
Defense was the 1 thing I had very little concern about going into this game and I was wrong. We looked horrible at times, and not being able to adjust to the screen pass when UK was running it play after play is baffling. Hope to see a much improved D next week, our talent is way better then that.

So the officials missed an obvious facemask which took the receivers head almost backwards then a late hit out of bounds on the same play. Then miss a helmet to helmet hit that obviously caused a concussion and fumble return for a TD.

He's consistently throwing fastballs behind receivers. I don't think theres any receiver out there who can quickly twitch and contort their body fast enough to adjust to Garrett Gilbert's stray bullet passes

Yeah we've had some issues with QB evaluation over the past few years. We landed a QB for our 2014 class who's supposed to be the next big thing. He just started his junior year in highschool so we'll see how that progresses.
Maybe they should just run their routes slower?
Was mentioned in the NFL thread but everyone would have taken Luck. He just had no interest in staying in Texas. And I think the stat is none were offered as a QB.

Fuck John Mackovic.
Then 10 years of Simms to Vince to Colt, which made it hard to recruit elite QBs to Texas except once every 3 or 4 years.
Gilbert was one of the top high school QB's of all time. Jackie Sherrill said he was the best QB he's seen since Dan Marino. He just completely fell apart mentally at Texas leading to the Longhorns' current passing challenged state. Hopefully Tyrone Swoopes will save them.
RGIII was recruited as an athlete but not QB

Only Ash played (which is how it should be). He didn't do anything spectacular, but he made good decisions all night and was an effective game manager.
