Re: Mizzou over LSU

So we are linebacker U, Running Back U, and now Head Coach U.

Joe Parker (my classmate) set a new school record of 70 yards in the fall of 1973 during his first game. Eventually became first team Playboy All American. As Coach DeBerry would often say, Joe could "kick the pee out of it!" Brian Reilly.....there was one game (I forget the opponent) where he punted 3 times in a row after penalties. First punt from the endzone (ball on the 6 or 7 YL) and it went to the 50 except for a procedure penalty; half the distance to the goal and punted again. This one went to the opposite 40 except for another procedure penalty. Third punt finally stopped on the opposite 35. Those of us in the stands figured what the heck....2 more penalties and he'll pin 'em on the opposite 10!
How foolish am I? Not to big to admit I was very very very wrong about Mizzou vs. UK. Also SC is playing better as of late. Congrats to Drink, he has some momentum in Columbia. Good luck to him moving forward.NavyApp wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 3:37 pmI have big time doubts about them beating UK. Mizzou is woeful on D and UK's OL and RBs will ground them into dust. They should beat SC and Vandy(but those two teams would struggle in the Belt). Good for Drink and Mizzou today, but I don't see the good times lasting for long this season.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 3:27 pmI'm surprised that LSU is this bad but the game was moved to Missouri and that situation being messed up for them could have effected it. Big win for Drink though. He only needs 4 wins this year for them to be happy and it looks like he should get that with LSU and likely South Carolina, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky. He may knock off one other. 4 wins with their current schedule would be like 6-7 with a normal OOC they typically have.

What appears to be happening with SC is whatever I say they are they become the opposite immediately!Rekdiver wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 8:09 amWell Navy.... 0-2 South Calalaka got embarrassed....NavyApp wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 6:37 pmHow foolish am I?

I’m glad for Drink, but yes tough times gonna come.
I see what you did there.boonetown1 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 5:24 pmGood win for drink, but LSU is crazy overrated. Joe Brady was the reason for a lot of their success.
I agree with you 95% of the way and I will leave it there. I've stated my feelings. Wish him well, but I sure don't miss him.Yosef84 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 10:51 amI hope Drink continues to be successful. His leaving for a better opportunity and seemingly contradicting previous statements is similar to the issue of recruits who flip. Is the case of the coach, there is an actual contract, but even then, in this country we do not have involuntary servitude. A contract does form a commitment but it also includes the terms under which the contract can be changed / broken. The fact is that scenarios change and therefore people will sometimes change their "commitments." As long as they handle these changes with honesty and integrity, I have no issue.
Personally, I appreciate the successful year that Coach Drink gave us here at App. That said, I don't know how he would have done on a long term basis. I do believe that, had he stayed, the coveted App State football culture would have changed. For that reason, I'm pretty happy with how it worked out and with the Coach we have today. I see no reason for anyone being upset with Drink but of course, everyone is entitled to view the situation differently.
I tend to agree. Lots of folks are still butt hurt that he “used” us for a better paying gig. I’ve probably said my share of negative stuff as well but once I thought about it I’ve come to a personal conclusion that we are fine. I hate that we can’t have an occasional bad game or simply lose without it coming down to coaching. Sometimes 18-22 year olds don’t execute plays correctly. Stuff happens especially in 2020.huskie3 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 3:22 pmBigd, I think things would have been rockier. I can’t see Drink being able to resist tinkering with the offense more than he did. APP is not built for pass heavy offense. It took him and Roof a few games to realize you have to drive this Ferrari like a Subura.
Whoever told y’all when he was hired here that he was “pass happy” surely didn’t know a damn thing about his scheme. Drink runs the football. State ran the football. App ran the football. Mizzou is running the football. 60 runs to 30 passes against UK.huskie3 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 3:22 pmBigd, I think things would have been rockier.

Great point about Mack. Are these guys more or less mad at Mack than Eli? I think Eli's move/situation was more understandable given all the factors, money, college football landscape today, than when Mack was one and done. I didn't like Eli's one and done but truly understand that was HIS professional path that he was on. On the other hand, I always believe life has events that make you better in the long run and this may have been one of those for App. We now have Clark and if he becomes the coach we hope he can then I believe he is committed for a long time, maybe seriously committed to App for the remainder of his career. I can really see him in a lifetime gig. I couldn't even say that for Satt. Right now I am feeling pretty damn good about our HC and it was a result of Eli's situation.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 5:11 amWhoever told y’all when he was hired here that he was “pass happy” surely didn’t know a damn thing about his scheme.

I assume y’all are still this upset about Mack Brown as well? It’s college football fellas, guys move on. Get over it.
