You never know what can be used to motivate players. Hell, a good coach can turn grocery store coupons into bulletin board material.
USCās current issues canāt remotely be solved, or even helped in the slightest, by ābulletin boardā material.
I wish it was that easy.
FTFO!
Guess what. The Utes face a new coach on the road next year and was the best upgrade of a coach of any major P5. It wasnāt SC, either. That first game is going to be a TOUGH one. Billy Napier is a hell of a coach. Biggest steal, IMHO.
According to 247 he will probably have a more talented team (He needs to pick up some recruits and keep kids out of portal) than SC as well in the oppressive Florida heat: 2021 College Football Team Talent Composite
If you can win that first game it will set up for a playoff run nicely.
This guy must be calling Delta Airlines during the New Year debacle.
(H/T to @NewbombTurk for this.)
Heās one of my Top 5 college coaches right now. So underrated by the National media.
Hereās a quick video I threw together of Saturdayās experience.
Youāll have to be more specificā¦ here you go:
Thatās cool.
Can see all my family, but it was taken right when the lady in front of me stood up.
Sec 16L, Row 54, Seat 2. Sadly, my lovely hard core Ute football fan wife is blocked by the person in the black sweatshirt walking up the stairs.
Both my sons are clearly visible, but I am behind two people who are standing up. I know them both. They both stood up too much all game long!
Iām in the mask. (turned telling my wife and daughter a fight may break out next to us between the Drunk Utes and the Drunk Buckeyes). Thankfully it cooled out.
My son is clearly visible but I was bending down getting something from my bag I think.
Iām the grumpy looking old guy sitting between the guy in the yellow sweat shirt and the African American gentleman. Iām grumpy because the guy sitting behind me was bugging the **** out of me!
FTFO!
First offā¦ Why did your friend wear an LSU shirt? Hadnāt they lost enough in that stadium in 2021. I understand if I was bugging you. I wasnāt happy about the Kettle Corn and was pretty vocal.
Ugh I feel like such a slouch with all you guys wearing masks. Myself, my wife and son all maskless. We all had them of course, but none wearing them in the photo. 6L, row 44, 18-20.
I HATE Ohio. But, LOVE CJ Stroud my fellow Rancho Cucamonga raised product.
My dad is a neutral party when it came to the Rose Bowl. He didnāt care who won and was razzing my 12-year-old son that he was going to cheer for THE Ohio St. But one thing he came away with was how impressed he was with Stroudās accuracy. There were so many balls that were put on a dime - in stride for a receiver, throwing a receiver open, or on the fringe where the WR was the only one who could get it but still get a foot in bounds. That combo of accuracy + NFL receivers was deadly.
Barring something like injury, I think weāll be watching Stroud play and talking about him for the next 10 years.
