Green Crazy

Seems like the wrong forum for this topic.

So, because the suspension news was new to me and Morris wasn't specific on who were the starters suspended for the FIU game I went back to watch the beginning of that game to see who they were. The only starters who missed more than 2 series that game were Adeyi and Burns on offense and Wood on defense. These three sat out the first quarter and I'm assuming are some of the ones mentioned. I'm not doing this to call them out, but because the coaches held them accountable and they accepted accountability. I say this because the next game Adeyi has 19 carries for 148 yards and 2 TDs (leading rusher), Burns has 11 catches for 134 yards (leading receiver) and Wood has 9 tackles (leading tackler and 1 pass deflection. So while it's alarming to see three veteran leaders of the team not doing what they should, I was glad to see they didn't sulk about it. They used it as motivation. Also, while some of my opinions about Morris and the staff still stand, I've grown to like him as a person and the way he runs a team. Side note, unless some players were only held out for 2 series I can't figure out what other starters were held out. He mentioned MLB and a corner and Brown and both Texada and Davis started.

I wish some of our fans on Twitter/X would keep their mouth shut. This got us on espn.com week 3's best trolls. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38417438/college-football-week-3-best-trolls

How is this not a bigger conversation? Did I miss this getting talked about? This would have made me feel better about that game had I known this. To be honest I just scanned this topic the first time and didn't see this and had to hear about it on the Green Room podcast. Also, does anyone have more details about this? I went back and looked up stats so, I know Jordan Brown (MLB) and Texada and Davis (starting corners) all had stats, so they played. So, does that mean they were suspended for the first quarter or something? I was watching from my phone in a bar, so I didn't notice any difference in the personnel on the field. Sorry to go back in time on this, but I'm shocked this didn't make bigger news on this board.

I've heard coaches in the past say that you make your money recruiting OL, DL, QBs and corners.

Shorter or Nixon got $150,000 to go to Auburn. That as Morris put it is life changing money. What idiot turns that down?

It's actually our turnover celebration on the sideline. Like the slot machine was for UNLV. You get a wrestling championship belt and two bottles to smash Stone Cold Steve Austin style.

That's what I was going to guess.

What the mods want.😉

I expect this one to be taken down too. I started a new topic last night asking why the fire coach Morris was removed and that one no longer exists. Like I said in the FCM topic, it was a stupid, knee-jerk title but renaming it and now removing it is wrong.

I would have rather had it after the ACU game so we had two weeks to prep for Navy's triple option.

It's not being organized, it's that we don't have enough "bigs". And we never will unless the students and future students start caring enough to donate when they become a "big".

Last week's sucked too. I don't remember + being so bad.

How long can you talk about needing to tackle better and not turn the ball over?

I picked a 4-8 season and this is our last chance to be able to hit that number. We've been out coached at halftime both games and while I think that happens again....we hold on to a first half lead and win.....as long as Rogers plays the whole game. 47-41 us.

As someone who didn't like the Morris hire from the beginning, let alone his coaching decisions and thought everyone should temper their excitement about Rogers, he deserves more time. These first two games have been horrible, but everything changed from last year, and he or any new hire deserves more than two games before having his head called for. I will have plenty to say if this season continues down this road, but for now I'm cutting him some slack. The worst part of this thing is the defense and that can't be fixed by him, so Caponi needs to fix this ASAP. I'm afraid this will be a long season, but I picked us to go 4-8, so I'm not panicked yet. I will say that the way Rogers played in the second half gives me hope for the offense this week. We'll see.

I saw a number 6 jersey with Ruder on the back down at the defensive sideline against Cal, but thought we might have a different Ruder on the team. Good for him.

Yes, I know and B.J. hasn't played football at Tech since the early 2000s. My point was they don't sling the ball around anymore and haven't for a long time. It was just a real dated reference you used.

When you picture Tech is Leach still sending plays into B.J. Symons?

Sounds like you belong on our defense.

It was more of a joke. Just thought it was funny that Wilson was the only one in the interview that didn't have notes. Logan just muttered short answers back, so not much to make note of. Like in the game, he didn't really tackle anything.

Wouldn't that be more of a transaction instead of a donation?

obviously I'm not referring to the turd bird's.
