I think there is something to "growing into the job." Heavens, yesterday we had Penn State, somehow elevated to No. 4 in our NC hearts, with Franklin apparently feeling the pressure of expectations and for some inexplicable reason, going for it on 4th and goal from the five with still 12 minutes...

Among the things I have come to believe: this whole thread is a cut and paste operation with names and years changed. Because it reads exactly like last season and the season before and now this season. Same old things. Fire the coaches. Bad system. Bad special teams. The list goes on but you...

Watch it. You are teetering on the edge of making sense on this board.

Ah, he had/has four games free. I am not about calling anybody stupid, but if he can't take advantage of a rule every college coach in America take advantage of, well.

Don't think that was his point, which seems to me that if he can't get on the field with that crew ahead of him, and with the new four-game redshirt rule in effect, then there must be a reason, and maybe Collins' obtuseness isn't it. Maybe he just can't play.

I am happy for him, really I am,and I hope he makes a mint. But as far as I am concerned, the only kick that ever meant anything was against those ruffians to the east. It was like the heavens opened and sunshine was everywhere, and all I could think of was Vince Lombardi running around...

I would like PSU a lot better if there was even an ounce of contrition for the tolerance and advancement of that awful Sandusky. On the other hand I have some regard for Fleck and his own culture at Minnesota. You might surprise them because right now they are feeling pretty smug about that No...

That's one for you.

Nah, not really. But the test of likeability comes when he misses the kick that loses the game. And he will, because, well, they all do at some point. Maybe kicking is what Kipling had in mind. I think I'd fold like a saltine in a rain storm.

Ah, that explains it. As long as he doesn't start to buy into it, because the NFL is a very brief career for most all, and particularly for kickers. I knew a high school coach once, a good one, who scorned what he called "commie kickers." Behold one day he had one. He figured it was either that...

I have no idea what to make of that. Except he has an abundance of confidence and seeks the spotlight. He literally has a leg up then, because an NFL kicker is here today, gone today, and what he did yesterday means nothing. Good for him.

"Disturbing the flow?" It's not like the QBs ahead of him have lit the joint up.

The talent really is questionable, and part of the reason is recruiting and part of that reason is awful facilities, which is why Jimbo Fisher started looking around. FSU can't afford another bad hire and is aiming high, way beyond the Collins range, because Sam Howell is not the only top...

He doesn't. He is a true sophomore. But even should he want out after next season, when Lawrence presumably moves on but the California hotshot is the QB-in-waiting, I doubt a guy with the Clemson experience would ever contemplate lining up with what the coach describes as the "most monumental"...

In fairness, I always did like the guy who won the game.

I remember Johnson saying in his freshman year, when he was just a tall, gangly guy all elbows and kneecaps, that "You will see him at the next level." As an aside and more as an expression of my pleasant surprise than anything else, I saw today that Darren Waller is still in the NFL, starting...

I could not get the game for some reason, so just responding to the posts, but one might argue that all the things that supposedly transpired would not have had they been coached up better. It is, after all, what coaching is, is it not? It is not like Pitt is a juggernaut.

We are far afield and I am going to go back to football -- and it seems forever since we beat Miami so I am anxious -- but I will tell what "fair" isn't: billionaires paying a lower effective tax rate than the working class. As for 5%, well. It is kinda like those who argue for a huge Navy and...

I do appreciate the civil discourse, honestly. But this seems to be an example of big vs. little government. We all want your government to be little. My government I want big. And while I was born in and have lived in the South most of my life, the fact is we we need to pay our fair share for...

Now you are being silly. Hospitals, roads, airports, bridges, military, social services, health services and the list goes on. And if you live in Georgia or any other Southern state, welcome to the world of getting from the federal government more than we pay in taxes .. and whining about it.
