Haha. OM has even lost ashoff. An actual OM journalism major, working for ESPN and carrying OM's water for years.

Aschoff olive branch?

Damn, that's about the most glowing "Mullen is the QB guru" article I've ever read.

If he takes Nick to another level this year that title is going to be carved in stone.

No doubt he's been soft on OM. But he went to UF.

Love these quotes by Mullen:

"Consistently making the average play. Boy, is it boring, but it makes you a professional," Mullen said. "Chicks dig the long ball, right. Chicks don't dig the checkdowns."

And the following paragraph:

But checkdowns and details win games. Even with a shotgun offense, Mullen put Harris under center every practice to help him with his balance and footwork. He pounded hand placement and how to properly position Harris' front arm on throws.

Who is the Harris guy he quotes?

"Coach Mullen probably does not get enough credit for the quarterback development that has transpired and is unavoidable," Harris said. "You cannot not mention it or notice it. That tree of quarterbacks is dope."

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Josh Harris at Bowling Green. Mullen's first NFL-drafted QB.

He already won that title with Chris Relf

"I don't have to rely on everyone else's recruiting evaluation. I can rely on mine..."-Mullen

That is some passive aggressive swag right there...

 

[Xenomorph]

Surprised there wasn't mention of the rented mule.

Damn, I didn't know - or had forgotten - this about Fitz:

He broke the SEC single-season records for 100-yard rushing games by a quarterback (eight) and average yards per rush by a QB (7.1).

Think about the QBs that have come through this conference... even back to Archie, the wishbone era, then lately with Manziel and Cam...

That is a mind-boggling stat for anyone, let alone an unknown sophomore at MSU.

 

[Dawgg]

true, but....

No doubt he's been soft on OM. But he went to UF.

His father was a professor at Ole Miss... "Blues Studies" or some other nonsense.

He grew up in Oxford and has expressed his affection for their campus.

Love these quotes by Mullen:



And the following paragraph:

Reminds me of golf. You can impress your friends with a big drive here and there, but you make your living making three-footers.

At the peak of his dominance, from 2002-05, Tiger Woods had 1,540 putts from 3 feet and in on the PGA Tour. He missed three of them. Might not sound like much but that's an incredible stat.
