So many empty seats at Florida State. And it’s a good game against Boise.

Well in defense of the FSU crowd (and they have had some attendance issues lately) this game was supposed to be played tonight in Jacksonville and was moved to Tallahassee because of the hurricane. That might have changed some peoples' plans.

3rd and 5, 1 minute left, Taggart's career is on the line, and he calls a run up the middle. Never go full Edsall.

Kendall Briles is supposed to be their savior at offensive coordinator. But it doesn't matter who the assistants are if the head guy is a bum, which Taggart is.

Taggart struck while the iron was hot getting the FSU job. He wasn’t great at USF and I didn’t understand the FSU offer.

Strong stinks too.

Don't forget he had a stop at Oregon as well. They probably dodged a bullet up there.

Georgia St is ahead of Tenn 28-23 with 8:56 left.

Why can't we have a football team that looks competent when schools like Georgia St can?

35-23 GSU

When you're based in Atlanta, you can get the 50th best HS player from Georgia .... which is still better than most of New England HS.
 
GSU just intercepted a UT pass and have the ball on UTs side of the field. Epic win set up for GSU.

And, what’s the likelihood Georgia State’s academic standards are particularly high, especially for athletes? Good or less so, a different world exists in the gridiron belt.
 
Tennessee fans (or former fans) are declaring they are giving up on UT football and deciding fishing may be a better option on their message board. Total meltdown.

I watched most of Washington vs. Eastern Washington. Huskies won 47-14. EWU is FCS but they play Pac 12 schools every year and have beaten several of them, and were the FCS runner ups last season. UW is replacing leading passer and rusher in program history, but Browning was disappointing during his Sr. year and the Eason era is off to a great start (about 350 yards, 4 TDs/0 int). Looks like RB by committee.

I see this being used alot for why Uconn is not good because we don't have in-state talent.

How you do explain Northern Iowa, South Dakota State, or Boise State?

Or Washington State or etc, etc,. Of all the excuses, it is the lamest.

These days with all the TV games, parents can watch their kids from anywhere. We got plenty of playing time to offer. There is absolutely no excuse our team can't recruit or build a decent program.

The problem is our current coaching staff, and previous ones. We can't seem to hire right. We keep hiring outdated coaches that's way past their prime. Diaco was just horrible.

If we just offer the bank to the ptevious year's FCS champ's entire coaching staff, I think we should do ok even if we don't do any other interview. It is not that damn difficult.

Should have hired Leach!

I was pushing for the guy. Like I said, just hire the entire staff from previous year's FCS champ every time we need a new coach. It is not complicated.
