Edsall getting abused by Bowling Green

[husky10]

"Houston: Here’s another amazing fact: Houston’s 34-31 win against Louisville marked the program’s first victory against a Power Five opponent since 2009.

???? They beat Pitt in their bowl game last year. This was their 2nd W over a P5 school in their last 3 games.

I'm not sure what "research" the writer did regarding Houston, but it doesn't seem like it was very much. In addition to the bowl victory over Pitt last season, they also beat UCLA to open the 2011 season and Penn St to close it out in the Ticket City Bowl. Finally, though not counter to his point, but certainly more impressive than led to believe, the P5 win he mentioned in 2009 was not the only one they had, but rather was one of three solid P5 wins they had that season (Okie St, Texas Tech & Miss St). Nothing like a writer trying to make a point to fit his narrative ...even when it DOESN'T come close to fitting!

So how did your bet with me go about whether Edsall would do better at MD than P at CT? I was going to never bother you with that detail, but if you're free to keep piling on then I guess it's a fair question?

forgot one.

I guess I just underestimated Maryland's appetite for stunning mediocrity.

Great points 2infin....!!!!!
I'm hoping the writer echoes their fanbase and Mizzou sentiment as UCONN not being formidable. The crowd can get taken out of the game and perhaps, it can filter down to the field level.

Have Twerp fans started calling him Edsel yet?

Just so we're on the same page, you think that doubling down on FHCRE insults will distract anyone here from seeing that you didn't answer the question? Is it that hard for you to admit you lost a bet, or are wrong on something?

I think I did. I said I underestimated Maryland's appetite for mediocrity. I mean, who would have thought they would be happy with Randy's milquetoast record after they fired Fridge when he went 9-3.

Take it to the Cesspool.

I like BL a lot better when he leaves his politics in the Cesspool. It's been creeping in on this board way too much recently.

I literally have no idea what he is talking about with Trump. Maybe something he said in a debate? I have seen a second of any of it. I have no access to American TV or Internet bandwidth worth talking about. BL is losing his edge.

Right. BL is losing his edge because he calls you out and you would rather deflect than admit you were stupidly wrong.

I was channel surfing and caught Maryland going with the delayed inside handoff draw. While down 35-0. I smiled.

 

[zls44]

Look at the remaining schedule!

Did something happen on Maryland's sideline today between Edsall and one of his player's dads? I heard on the radio on my drive home that he benched a TE over a uniform thing and the kid's dad gave him an earful over it.

Ugh! The board knows he wasnt my favorite, but I feel for Edsall if this is true. He has had to deal with far too many over involved parents down there it seems.

SD, just as an outsider looking in, I don't recall Zoo ever saying that PP would do better here than RE did. Fact is, the 2011 season was going to be a disaster (ON OFFENSE) no matter who coached. We had a walk on QB. Who else has that going into a FBS season? We had a 167 LB scat back as our only skill RB. We had a dynamite defense, no question. We even beat MD that first year. I thought I read Zoo as always saying that RE had a mediocre ceiling level and he wasn't going to lead anyone to greatness. Just doesn't have it in him. Good caretaker, good place keeper, but not destined for greatness. And at his age, neither was PP.

BUT, and this is a big BUT: It was RE who left us in that lurch, near the end of recruiting season, without a head coach and left us scrambling for a head coach, and yes, we made a mistake - a big, big, consequential mistake, but that happens when you're left scrambling. You make mistakes. I feel no sympathy for RE.
