Media hates us, we get no respect, keep the chip on our shoulder thread

[cfbandyman]

I've seen several pieces talking about H-ertz being a setback, and I didn't know whether there was really something to that or if it was just lazy writing. I pretty much assume that these writers know more about football than I do, but also that they're generally lazy hacks, so not sure where to come down on this one.

It's lazy. I am curious to see what our offense would look with Ertz, but then again, both QBs had little experience and probably little actually separated them. It's weird how the media acts like we lost a super stud 2 year starter and he's being replaced by a nobody. It's not even remotely that case.

Right.  Despite not starting before last week, Hubner had more in game experience than Ertz and looked (marginally) better in the spring game.  Although I believe the reports that were coming out of camp, there was literally no on-the-field proof that Ertz was the better option.  I assume Ertz is taking a medical redshirt this year, so it will be interesting to see if he can come back and start next year or if Delton will eclipse him by then. 

Then again, who knows.  Next year we might be talking about Hubner's heisman chances rather than who the starting QB could be.

I don't think you can get a medical redshirt after you've already had a redshirt season. He'll just be a junior next year, anyway.

Actually, you can.

Lazy.  No one knows anything bout Ertz.  Even Bill at this point. 

[slobber]

I am wondering if Bazooka will declare after this year. Will probably start a thread about it after we get to 5-0.

If we go 5-0, he should award himself the Heisman in a post game interview and tell the lower NFL teams to start losing out right now.

would be pretty funny when our starting qb has been here six years and is already in his second year of vet med and is starting to see patients. "hi mrs snyder, what seems to be the problem with scrappy today? oh also, can you tell your husband that i'll be ten minutes late to practice because i have cadaver duty today?"

How elite would that be.

red shirt rules continue to frustrate the masses worse than proper comma usage does to fanning

[HerrSonntag]

Redshirt? Medical Redshirt?  I don't care what you call it, Ertz should not beam down to that alien planet, its not safe.

I am not sure why, maybe I'm too much of a homer? But, Kellis's responses irk me.

They probably irk the other team as well.  "K-State kind of sucks, but they're probably better than your team."

He wants the ass kicking to be a surprise.  It's funnier if they think they have a chance.

Under promise,  over deliver.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

He picked the Cats 35-17. Seems about right. Hopefully he's spotting the Dawgs a few too many points.

With an inexperienced signal-caller for the Wildcats, I’m fully convinced that the secondary unit—especially standout defensive back Xavier Woods—can weather the storm, as it’ll practically be a massive step down from Western Kentucky’s receiving corps.

Nobody calls our shitty wide receivers shitty except us!

I can't say I disagreed with much either.

But why are people still talking like UTSA is a crappy team? They played two quality P-5 opponents, lit one up and almost pulled off the upset, and kept the game competitive with the other for 3 quarters.

I mean, fair. But, still, we will probably not have the 9th best QB in the league this year unless everyone is hurt and Hubener plays again.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Wow, true freshman at #1 behind Mahomes and Russell. That's rough ridin' stupid. I don't get the Rudolph comment, either.

Also, lol at the UT qb not being dead last.

Who is the true frosh behind Russell? Stidham will push him for starter.
