  1. Wasn't Sutcliffe there in San Diego for awhile? I don't remember him actually having a full time gig here, but he has been a pretty regular fill in guy over the years. I'm sure everyone remembers that time Sutcliffe was wasted during a telecast. That was during a Padres game. The Padres also get Tony Gwynn filling in a lot. And now that he's proven to be a complete failure as a coach, I expect to see him filling in even more often. I could be wrong though. I don't remember who was here before Vasgersian, so there might have been a year where Sutcliffe was a regular. Neely was a minor league guy for years until he replaced Vasgersian. Vasgersian replaced Mel Proctor (I think). Grant and Sutcliffe were color guys in some fashion for years in the late 90s/earlys 00s although I don't remember if it was a 3 man booth or what.
  2. Did he get defensive talent? Manti Te'o and uh... Well maybe not great defensive talent but without looking through the rankings I'm pretty sure their defensive performance wasn't commensurate with the talent they did get.
  3. Although I will say, in a totally subjective way, that ND's players don't "pop" on the TV screen athletically like you see from Bama, Texas, Florida, SC, etc. Maybe it's the stupidly tall grass or something. Weis got highly ranked classes but I wonder if he had to settle for lesser athletes and more cerebral types or whatever. Although they didn't look very cerebral a lot of the time too. I'm just going to guess that since Weis couldn't teach fundamentals very well that the players just play slower than good teams.
  4. Even if the ND brand doesn't resonate like it used to, the potential to get talent isn't even close to one of the biggest problems with the program. Weis got talent. It just didn't develop.

  6. Wow, Weis is pathetic.
  7. Maybe if UVA were better this year TCU would've had a shot at the title game since the Frogs beat em on the road. The lesson, as always, is that Al Groh sucks.
  8. Can we rewrite the computer algorithms to account for Bradford being out of the RRS?
  9. A Florida loss, Nebraska win, and then a TCU win would've made this entire season worth it. I have never been more distraught about the outcome of a game in which I didn't have a direct rooting interest.
  10. The Nebraska loss bothers me more than any of the Bears losses this year.
  11. At least Riley Cooper lost today.
  12. I'm stupidly holding out hope that the voters will see that Texas' schedule is a complete joke and put TCU or Cincy in. I know it has a 0.000001% chance of happening.
  13. holy [expletive] GO SUH.
  14. Why would you dial up such an aggressive blitz on 3rd and 16 with how your 4 down linemen have played all night?
  15. Yeah, don't these Big XII refs know that there's $14 million extra for the conference if NU wins?
  16. They should've thrown 3 straight fades. That was the only way they were going to get someone in the end zone with a shot at the ball.
  17. Nebraska's offense is just beyond fail. It would be a miracle if they got a TD here.
  18. McCoy just pooch punted and UT downed it at the 1. Looks like NU might be going with the backup.
  19. NU's not gonna hold Texas down all game. Their offense isn't going to get anything done either, apparently.
  20. Whoever mentioned going for a bomb after a big defensive/special teams play being a gigantic cliche that fails all of the time now is right on. Defenses are just all over it.
  21. Rose should be fined $500 every time he gives the ball up to some scrub outside the 3 point line. Drives me nuts.
  22. 45-19. Maybe the Raps can get 50 before we get 20.
  23. lmao, we're down 21 after the first quarter.
  24. I can only laugh at this pathetic, pathetic team.
  25. This team just isn't very good. There's just so much dead weight with Miller and Gibson having to play big minutes.
