Bye this week, play next week and then another bye?

What a weird complaint.

Open this week, play TWO games, then open again.

If being in a rhythm is a thing, I'd rather we save that for the part of the schedule with games we could win.

I was not a fan of the way this schedule is set up from the point it was announced. That has often been the case though. Ultimately all you can do is go play them and scratch out as many wins as you can.
I guess I am just anxious to see Boley play. He looks like a natural out there.

Can’t remember the last time we looked prepared coming off a bye, maybe someone can refresh my memory.
Never, another Stoops problem and it stems from him not demanding excellence across the board. We make more dumb mistakes than any football team ever and I guarantee we will look worse coming off a bye. Most teams are even more prepared but we are so lax that we look worse.

Hopefully it'll be Bye, Carolina, Georgia, Bye, Rest of Games then Stoops says Bye Bye Bye, and Barnhart says Hi Hi Hi to Summerall.
If you guys are going to continue this crusade could you at least learn to spell Sumrall's name correctly? I like Sumrall but there is no logic in being so sure he will do world's better than the coach who has easily done better than anyone we have had in the last 60+ years.

Speaking of scheduling, tomorrow is possibly the worst college football day I've ever seen. Absolutely not a single game worth watching IMO.

I saw him on the road at Texas last year. I guess you missed it.
I didn't miss it. He made a few plays in that game. But everyone acts like it was so great, yet, he didn't put any points on the board while in there. So yeah, maybe you missed the pick six he threw on his first pass of his career. Or maybe the entire UL game where he had one of the worst games I have ever seen by a QB.

I think he has a lot of talent. And I hope he is the guy that takes us to another level. But right now, we just don't know if he is or not.

Maybe you missed where he was thrown into the fire instead of being developed like he should have been. Now we’re way behind because we wasted a year on Vandergriff.

Thrown into the fire, but also wasted a year with Brock? Which was it? If we didn't use Brock, then Boley gets thrown into the fire as a true freshman without being able to develop. So you post is very contradicting. It is also contradicting to point to a decent half at Texas, but then completely dismiss the very next game where he got all of the reps and looked worse. So again, we don't know what he is going to be yet. But that has nothing to do with being "thrown into the fire".

Were you at the Uof L game? Is that why you are so upset and want to argue? Anyone that understands or played Sports doesn’t judge a player on one game. Good luck to you.

Lol. I am not upset. But you literally judged a player on a half at UT and the EMU game. So a game and a half. I literally said he may be the guy that takes us to the next level and he is talented, but we just don't know yet. That's not judging. Everything I stated were facts. And I am not arguing. It's a message board. It's called a discussion.

I like how Summerall runs his program, reminds me of Earvin Myers when he was at UF. If he did come here I think his first move would be telling Butch Hampton to hit the road.

Now that Eric Woolfson has got the line whipped into shape and Bally is showing promise at QB along with our Rb's looking good we might really have something if Eddie Grant were calling plays again. If Danny Kaye and Blair Brown were still here catching passes we might even be elite. The TE's have already looked better with Morrow gone as well. ;)

Did you miss the game at Louisville when a team had film on him to look at ?
So nothing he showed against Texas counts and its all based on Louisville? Interesting. I missed the part where you take one game of tape, decide a guy isnt worth developing and give up on him.

But that’s the problem with the transfer portal. You make promises to get guys to come and are stuck with them. You want more Calzada? Won’t be surprised if you get it.

He looked OK against the Texas prevent Defense- 1 INT and no TDs is not that great. Just saying if South Carolina blows this kid up dont go nuclear.

What are your thoughts on Boley now since I got crushed here by a few ??

I mean it was so obvious as far back as the Texas game last year that he was the guy to build around.

I was just judging him based on me having two eyes and being able to see clearly out of them.

hes looked very good the last couple of weeks. he is definitely better than any other QB on the roster.
