Yep. I realize we need help at WR but people need to pump the brakes on Merriweather a little. He’s been here all of four games. When he has been on the field, he has mostly made mistakes. His time will come. But it’s not here just yet.
It’s not just Merriweather, we can’t get any of the Freshman WR in last year’s class in the game. Ridiculous.

On the bright side though, if we can get Merriweather involved, we'll have gotten every Freshman WR in last year's class in the game.
If that’s the case, you’d have to say last year’s WR recruiting class was a success, right?

I agree with the "pumping of brakes" on forcing freshmen into live action, but Pete Sampson had a stat regarding the top 20 WRs from last year's class and Merriweather is ranked 18th in game reps (and the 20th ranked kid is hurt)...so really he's ranked second to last. Surely there is something this staff can do to get this kid on the field....even if it's to help him acclimate or to give other WRs a rest. They don't have an issue doing this on defense, so what's the issue here? Especially given how bad the WR room is? However, with most things in life, there are plenty of variables at play for example, this offense isn't built for an air raid. The best 5 skill players are RBs and TEs and Styles. No need to cram square pegs into round holes. This kid's time will come, no question. He just needs to continue to work hard and do the right things.

How many played in game situations way different than what we have had? Shazz Preston has only played versus UL Monroe and Vanderbilt in complete blowouts. Kevin Coleman goes to Jackson State. Didn’t continue further. The number is probably closer to 50% of the Top 20 have played non garbage time snaps by eyeballing it.

Veruca wants it now, Bruv.

Right. It wasn't meant as a be all, end all.

People bitch about Tommy regardless of what happens because it's all they know to do.
Coach Tommy is BY FAR not the worst issue that this team has. But parrots must squawk.

It's the Way of Nature and no one can alter that.

Thanks for the limerick!

You're welcome. It's actually one of the most cleverly crafted limericks of all time, and can be used to loosen the students up in genetics classes.

Saw this on the way to my son's football game. I've got a good feeling today.


And behold, a bright light shown down and a voice from heaven said "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. May he do his f***ing job!"

To his credit he's delivered 576 and 496 yard performances back to back, and he has his QB playing great football. Still plenty to work on.
If he can stay out of his own way on the playcalling and plays the portal well I’ll be very happy. If his “smartest person” in the room rears it’s ugh my head—good riddance.

Agreed. It still doesn't change my opinion on whether or not he should be back next year, but I've got to give credit where credit is due.

Don' recall a single screen pass.

They're clearing a space for him in SoFi as we speak.

There was a bunch, and one that would have been taken to the house if Tyree wasn't out til 6 am playing blackjack.
So it wasn't Tommy's fault? Dang, we're crossing into a football upside down I'm not sure I want to venture into.

I typically watch the game a second time and haven't had a chance to do that yet this week. What day is it?
