UCLA's Josh Rosen: "Football And School Don't Go Together"

[UConnDan97]

Huh? In what world is 30 right between 66 and 103?
Kind of ironic, don't you think?

At risk of defending JSM, I think he meant that Clemson was in the middle of the other two. He just wrote the list in a weird way...

Settle down chachi.... One persons anti SEC sentiment doesn't reflect the entire state of CT.

Thanks, I'm calm, but coming from West Hartford, I am very used to people looking down on colleges that aren't Ivy or Little Ivy as if people that don't go to high end schools are less worthy. Gets my hackles up.

 

[JSM1970]

To me it's more about the SEC, and maybe garbage schools like WVU and Louisville.

SEC Alums are obnoxious and annoying. You meet an Arkansas alum and all they want to talk about is SEC domination. "Look, Arkansas sucks and isn't relevant, and is a wasteland academically."

You meet a Wake Forest or G Tech alum and they don't start gushing about Puke or UNC basketball.

I am sure that if your preconceived notion is that their university is "a wasteland" you are being met with zero defensiveness. And actually, I have had a Wake Forest co-worker brag to me about tobacco road, but I just shrug it off.

 

[JSM1970]

Umm, SEC alums are idiots. Do they realize the minute these kids are eligible they leave and play on Sunday, not Saturday.

Alabamer is a joke of a school. Yeah, coeds are hot & down to €&%6, but dumb too.

He rips Alabama and Clemson. I wonder if this kid knows that Clemson is a really good school.

Primarily engineering. A REALLY good school. I have been to quite a few conferences there. I love that little town.

You need to stop, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

Reminds me of BD's comments that we don't want guys who love math more than they love football--I think the quote came as Jefferson Ashiru was leaving the program. It's the truth--players are guided towards BS majors in BS programs (and I'm not saying bachelors of science), and yet such a slim margin of them will make any decent money in the NFL. Then we get folks arguing that pay for play is nonsense because the players already earn a college degree for free. Problem is, they don't even get a real college education 9 times out of 10. It's all a front.

Diaco didn't need math guys. When you can't score, 7+7 can equal anything. Maybe we'll find out this season.

It doesn't matter how a school is ranked academically. It's what a school does (or doesn't do) to keep it's athletes eligible. What is Watson degree from Clemson? Is it a conventional degree or some degree that was designed for an athlete to sail though?

 

[HartfordHank]

What is Watson degree from Clemson?

"Watson, a true junior who enrolled early, will graduate with a degree in communications studies in December in just three years on campus."

Communications can be a suspect degree at many schools. I am not saying that his is.

How Deshaun Watson is starting new trend in race to the NFL

Why are you wasting perfectly good hackles on schools from the SEC?
