Montgomery and Thomas are gone

Interesting thread......however;

I can't ever recall us running out of a 2 back set....we did however use an H-back effectively; which I suspect is why you recruited 3 TE's..

And please, no further references to the WMU disaster.....


Amen!
 
Just wait until football season........:wideeyed:

Yea, I'm already NOT looking forward to the Campbell sucks comments when some play goes bad, costs them a win, and only a clueless moron would call that play comments descend on this site like a dense fog............I honestly want ISU to be successful, but will support this staff no matter the end result. As I said before, if these guys can't make this program a 6-9 game winner I believe it will never happen.

We call that kickoff.

I think you're right. Can't wait to see if these guys are the ones to do it!
 
You did NOT over dramatize it - at least for the 99.9% of the others who read your post and understood it for what it was!

Thank you very much! I respect this staff and would never want to suggest something that makes ANYONE look negatively at them.

There are allot of funny things they did with the players you guys would get a kick out of hearing, but I don't want to take away the option of the staff using thm at ISU. Get ready for the video's . LOL.

Meh, I pretty much wrote us off for two years. If we make 6 wins in either of those it's gravy. I think many of the posters weren't around or weren't paying attention when McCarney came here. We are no where near that poor of a program right now,(even though it may not feel that way) but it will still take time. The Machineâ„¢ was gonna have to axe a ton of dead weight when he came here. That should have been obvious for anyone who has a clue about our program.

Anybody who has a clue about the isu program knows there is talent there and there is no reason not to win 6 games next year. Anybody stating otherwise is giving him a pass for no reason.

Seeing more of that lately. If he can coach, as all of you have been stating then there are no excuses.

Not sure if serious...

There's talent. It was there last year, it was young and made stupid mistakes last year. Pretty normal for returning players to take a step forward and build on their experience. CPR should have been bowling last year, and likely would have this year without Mangino had we not hired Campbell.

And Campbell seems even better. And he has a staff completely on the same page.
 
I'm learning, but my blood pressure almost sent me to the Lord early when I read this stuff. :shocked:


Have you learned how to use the "ignore" tool on this site? It makes it so that you don't see the content of their posts. Putting a handful of people on "ignore" makes the site much more bearable. Too bad someone always feels the need to reply to them, so you end up seeing some of their posts in people's replies, but it is still better.
 
I'm throwing a fit about ignorant azz hats like you. Big difference dude. I doubt every much that CMC is nearly as ignorant as you, and so I have no worries about our players. I think tolfbfan is selling a load of crap to make his son seem "tough". All college football programs are tough, not just Toledo, or ISU.....get a clue.

God you're a ******. Tolfbfan has had nothing but helpful things to say on this site since the Campbell hire. Also, I really doubt that he cares if a bunch or wannabes like us think his D-1 athlete of a son is tough or not.
 
The losses along the OLine will hurt this year. I'm hoping the JUCO guys can step in and be at least as good as they guys were last year.

It will be tough bringing four new guys into the mix and getting them on the same page, but that's what the OL Coach of the Year is supposed to do right? :rolleyes:

I still think Catalina is a long shot now with Georgia in the mix, but if we can get him in here that will really help.
 
For the life of me I have no idea why people are concerned about departures. We knew it would happen and here we go. Big deal.

I will say though, this thread got really entertaining. We have some freak shows on this board. Good times.

People have died driving to work but I'm still gonna drive to work in the morning.

There are reasons not to win six games.
 
He was one of a very large group of seniors and juniors who worked their ***** off when no one was watching for 4 or 5 years. I'm very proud of how tough each one of them were. My son had a bad concussion one time and he was doubting whether to continue or not. His mother and I supported whatever decision he made. The staff and cmc were very supportive and wanted him to do what was right for him. It all worked out. Anyway, if I'm selling crap then it is the best smelling crap you will have ever smelled.

You said a kid collapsed during a workout and was subsequently "dragged" out by the players. That is a far cry from your amended statement below:


Maybe I over dramatized. It was a player who was unwilling to finish a workout.


I was immediately attacked because I seemed to make the offensive observation that players should NOT be dragging out fellow players if they collapse during workouts. This seemed to offend the sensibilities of some on here, that I would (and I'm sure you would, and CMC would) want the players looked at by staff and taken care of medically if there was ever even a shred of an issue occurring. It sounds just like I thought it would, that CMC is actually very concerned about player safety as your sons concussion issue was handled professionally.
 
You were attacked because you were taking a statement (which was second hand by the way, and clearly somewhat hyperbole) and treating every detail of it as absolute fact. Stupid is as stupid does.

Did you ever think in reading it, "Hey if this workout was so incredibly tough that people were COLLAPSING (OMG!!) from exhaustion, how would 2 players have the energy to drag an at least 200 lb kid off the field"? Hmm...........

His last team - from the MAC - beat mighty ISU and was ranked. That, my friend, is the proof in CMC's pudding.


That's actually not proof of anything. He won the isu game at home due to the isu kicker missing a chip shot. Not a ringing endorsement.

His team was ranked based on besting mac teams and upsetting Arkansas, a team Texas Tech handled early in the year.

I hope Campbell is the real deal... please be the real deal. However, what you posted isn't proof of anything except being good against the mac.

If I was to tell Soup I was starving to death, based on his responses he would assume I was near death and soon to die.

WAY literal in his comprehension. Guessing poetry is lost on him.

Thanks, but we eastern boys from Ohio wear big boy pants so we deal with the bad and enjoy the good. Thanks for the suggestion!!
