You know it's embarrassing when the other coach laughs.
Yep. Starting with Toledo game of 2000, that was where it seemed PSU had the biggest drop in talent without any significant changes to coaching staff. This year the drop in talent is pretty bad, but I'd expect that with the coaching changes made over the past year.
I don't know if this has bee discussed, but did you notice how Riley completely picked the pocket of Campbell's last time-out? Not that it mattered in the end. Did MC really think USC would go for it on 4th and 10 deep in their own territory? Did you see the smiling, smirking face of Riley as MC called time-out?
Anyone who knows anything about football knew what happened and how embarrassing it was for Campbell. But hey, at least the in game coaching has been improved.
In all honesty, while I knew this was coming, in my wildest dreams I didn't think they could screw up this schedule. Now I'm reading that it's lack of talent. Didn't we get admonished that the need for blue chips was negligible, because this staff was superior and would coach em up?
This was like falling into a flaming mine shaft in Centralia
True, but I believe he did preface it with "the next coach will bring......"
Cheer up! The Toilet Bowl at the Big House is next week. 2-3 Michigan vs 3-3 PSU. Someone has to win. Right?
Since you included their all-time record of over 1100 games, I'll take issue with your "never" assertions.
Duke football has won over 18 conference championships, including 8 ACC Championships
They have played in 2 Rose Bowls and HOSTED ONE (what other program could claim that?)
It's more of a basketball school, but there is some notable football history.
Football games at Duke are so different than at PSU, obviously, but they were always fun, even when they sucked.
I don't believe there is an "and"
That's a very bad loss for Duke or anyone
Are you on the wrong username?
And then there is that academic thingy. Sure, it's not as good as being in the Top 10 in football, but US News Ranked Duke 8th best among National Universities in their latest report. Sort of a consolation prize.
No about the username. Just defending my other school.
But you’re not wrong about the bad loss. They have at least one a year, usually more.
Fair enough--that's simply a game Manny can't lose if he wants an elite job someday
I have nothing against Duke--I actually like Duke--but it's just a bad loss--no excuses
I was thinking the same thing. They are a bunch of used car salesmen. Fluff over substance.
Bull. PS fans was gushing about it being the hottest thing since sliced bread. The whole country wanted a ticket. Legends in your own minds. For a copied concept.
Not so great when the actual game is an ***-kicking seminar presented to a national audience.
Not without Kiby Howard & Tatsch. What is the deal with Cam Smith (LBer)? Is he also done for the season? Seems to have injury issues like Granville.
