Quarterback

[G8trwood]

The O&B game is a PR event. It did its job.

And you have no idea what’s going on at practice. You don’t think they’re hitting each other in practice? Really?

Do you really want to know what I think is going on at practice??? I have no clue and from the looks of what I've seen around the program lately including last Saturdays "exhibition" I'm not sure half of our players do either...

 

[Concrete Helmet]

You know this entire thread is about O&B. And that is exactly what he was talking about in his post.

The O&B has never amounted to anything more than practice at the big stadium.

There I wasn't making anything up.....
Do you think Saban or Urban would let their players do"Duck,Duck, Goose" after faking a TD......Ever?

I don’t even know how to respond to this.

I think it's a serious question....I'm gonna tape the UGA, and Bama spring games on Saturday to see if they take it a little more serious.....

Somewhat akin to having boys versus men on the field...

My God. How many times are you going to change your argument? You’ve change your position/argument on every single reply.

You Complained that there was no hitting in the orange and blue game. And that’s what you wanted to see. We are merely saying the orange and blue game has never been about hits.

Everyone (pretty much) has already said that this game was an even bigger force them previous orange and blue games.

They haven’t even had enough players on depth to run scrimmages at a couple of the previous orange and blue games. The damn program is all effed up.

We get it. And there’s no disputing that. But you just made up saying that there’s always hitting at this game. I’m saying there’s not.

So how did you reply about that? You just changed your argument like you never said it.

I'm surprised you didn't bring Bear Bryant and Bud Wilkinson into the conversation.

Seriously, why do we have to compare everything we do to those notorious sourpusses, Saban and Meyer?

Well the world is rebalancing again.....it was waaay too positive around here the past couple of months. Good to know that we not only suck.....but we will be sucking for quite awhile.

Maybe it’s the NEXT coach (in 3-5) years who is destined to return us to the mountain top.

Whatever....I say we win 10. I’ll believe it until it is mathematically impossible to do so.

God damnit Man......
I didn't change my reply. 78 said that the O&B game was just a practice at the stadium....I simply said that practices are usually more intense than what I saw there and you're right it gets less and less intense EVERY year......My reply to you is that it's NOT working....Normally when things aren't working you change them......

If you don't believe me about other programs Spring games being more intense than ours then WATCH THEM.....They are replaying most of them on the SEC Network this week...

Wwell to that we can agree. This game was really silly. Under Spurrier and Meyer, future stars were born at the orange and blue game. Although, we may say the same about this with EJ.

UMMMM.....I dunno.....maybe because they WORK....
How much longer do you guys want to make excuses and suck.......I'm tired of it. I remember a time when people sh!t their pants knowing that we were on their schedule.....Now if AND that's a mighty big IF, we score I'm gonna have to watch Gator players do the Duck, Duck, Goose.......f vck me......

Crete, you're twisting my words. I went on to explain my view of Mullen's double MO -- winning over the players and fans at the same time by instilling a new vibe.

That wasn't meant as code for this is the new loosey goosey Florida. Lord knows we've had enough of that over the past few years. I'm confident there's plenty of intensity and discipline at practice. We already know what he's done with the weight room.

You seem so quick to condemn. Give him his chance. I'm sure you'll remind us if he fails.

I do agree that not much should be taken from the spring game. I also agree that Mullen had work to make up with this fan base and has tried to do that.

Whether or not Mullen really understands what UF fans want is up in the air. Meyer ran a silly trick play "for UF fans" in the Utah bowl game as he came to UF. UF fans do NOT want trick plays. We was an exciting offense that scores points based off that exciting offense. Trick plays are fine occasionally, but the offense itself must lead to high scoring.

I too hope that there is great focus in actual practices. We do NOT really know what has been done in the weight room. Every time there is a coaching change we hear about how much more players are working in the weight room. Probably the weight room is a bit different, but you are not really going to win in the SEC by getting in better shape than them nor has UF lost a bunch of games in recent years due to obviously being out of shape. So we are left hoping that Mullen understands that the PR part of the job is only a small part of it and he needs to go out and win games.

I haven't read this whole thread, but from what I saw it seems that Trask has the IT factor...i know it's still early, but Franks does not inspire that much confidence. I hope I am wrong and that both these guys perform exceptionally; whomever wins the QB battle.

I don't know if this is on any of the various QB threads but 247sports has this article:

https://247sports.com/Bolt/Ohio-Sta...-Burrow-walk-the-transfer-tightrope-117421936

about Burrows posted today. Here is an excerpt:

Urban Meyer, Joe Burrow walk the transfer tightrope
Dave Biddle joins the 247Sports Morning Blitz to discuss the Ohio State quarterback battle and how it impacts Joe Burrow's looming transfer decision.

After the playing of the the annual Scarlet and Gray Game on Saturday, Ohio State’s spring practice is now over, and Urban Meyer told the media that the Buckeyes’ quarterback battle is still too close to call. The outcome of this competition obviously has major implications for the 2018 OSU football team, but no member of it will be as acutely impacted by it as rising redshirt junior Joe Burrow, who, if he loses the battle to Dwayne Haskins or Tate Martell, could leave Ohio State and be eligible to play immediately as a graduate transfer.

But in order to make the best decision possible, Burrow would probably rather have better information about the likelihood that he'll be Ohio State's quarterback than is currently available to him.

"He's going to sit down with Ohio State's coaches this week — it could have even happened already, they might even have multiple conversations — to find out where he's at," Bucknuts.com editor Dave Biddle said Tuesday on the 247Sports Morning Blitz. "Are [Burrow and Haskins] really equal in their mind? Is he perhaps the leader, is he not the leader? I think if he hears, 'You still have a chance in preseason camp but Dwayne Haskins is the leader,' I think Joe Burrow will transfer. But if he's told it's equal and he actually buys that, I think he might stick around. I'm not positive about that, but I think he might stick around.

What?...... TAMU and OM players looked bigger and better shape(horseshoe triceps, no bellies) than our vets......

Wow, you broke down each player's physique? You must have a lot of time on your hands.
