Basically every team north of the Mason Dixon and East of the Mississippi doesn't have a roof and yet baseball survives in October. Sometimes it's just rain and you have to wait a couple of hours to play a game, you knobs.
There's a type of NFL knower who believes CFB is just baby's first NFL and every pro coach should be a hit in college. Guys like Harbaugh and Carroll are the exception, not the rule.
I went to the Xwitter account for the Tigers due to the rain delay and good lord has that site gone to shit. Just the most mouth breathing assholes whining about why doesn't Detroit have a retractable roof like Seattle.
This team hasn't been home in 2 weeks so I get some of the tired hacks at the ball but this Seattle team is immensely beatable and if they just swung at balls within 6 inches of the strike zone instead of 2 inches off the dirt they'd maybe have won both of these games. Ah well.
My only concern with Silverfield is that Memphis started looking a lot better once all the good teams from the American left. Doesn't mean he can't be a good coach but being able to outspend basically everyone in a weaker conference gives me some pause about then going to Arkansas.
He gets paid around $9M a year at a school that focuses heavily on football. Winning 11 is nice but that's a ceiling in terms of performance below what that fanbase wants.
I think he underperforms to the heightened expectations he's arguably set for himself. PSU fashions itself a national contender and yet they've always been a step behind the best teams in the conference, to say nothing of the national stage. You can argue that's unfair but that's reality.
It just felt like a game where the opposition got 3 hits all game but they were all in the same inning so they got 2 runs out of it. But that first drive was annoying because it felt like Texas last year where Wink just lined guys up in off spots and nobody could tackle.
Maybe, but I think the optics of Florida firing an underperforming coach to hire another guy who is (at least perceived) being pushed out for underperforming would be a bad look. UF is a good enough program you don't need to settle for Franklin.
He would have to take a huge step down in terms of program national relevance, mostly likely. I guess UNC might be crazy enough to make the change to Franklin but I can't imagine any high-profile team taking a run at him if they have better options.
That 2007 season gave you Stanford winning at #2 USC, The Horror with Michigan, and that Backyard Brawl game. So it's a good grab-bag, but none of those teams winners were ever as bad as this UCLA team looked coming into this game.
