I'm gettin' pretty fed up with the college game, as well, micro. The inmates are running the asylum and the coaches are appearing to be their puppets. Not only do you have this stupidity over Gundy being photographed wearing an OAN t-shirt on a fishing trip, but some of the Texas players are now making a bunch of ridiculous noise about "The Eyes of Texas" fight song having racist overtones. I think this kind of lunacy is happening in college programs all across the nation. It is truly pathetic. I don't know what his thoughts are regarding this fight song stupidity, but unfortunately, Coach Herman has been placating his players regarding the whole George Floyd protest stuff.

Personally, if I was a coach, I'd tell my players to be responsible young men ... if they want to protest, fine ... do it on your own time and within the law or you will suffer the consequences for any unlawful acts. We don't treat anyone differently based on the color of their skin and we're here to play football. So show up, bring your best effort, and support the program with positive enthusiasm. Neither I nor my coaching staff will be drug unwillingly into your politics. And, if you do not like the school's completely non-prejudicial fight song because you disingenuously wish to declare it is somehow racist ... well ... hit the road and go play for someone else. I probably would not last long as a college coach, but I could live with that.

I prefer college futzballs. Like teams that have former Ohio State Assistant coaches as their head coach, and underperforming teams like Georgia. Got to respect Clemson fpr theor level of consistemcy at a high level.. Bama as well.

Are the Horns supposed to be any good this year Mr. Wizard?

I enjoyed them under coach Brown and really enjoyed the rivalry game between the Sooners and the Horns...

Hopefully coach Herman will get the program back in good shape again.. If y'all need any more help with football call 1-800-OhioState and I am sure they will be glad to help you all out..... lol!!! Laughing Laughing Laughing Cheesy Grin Mr. Green Naughty Naughty
