Still better-off than Sparty - they started last week with a two-way race for the starting QB job, and ended with a 4-way race!  :lol:

:lol:  Damn that sucks

Heh if he was QB at Ohio State the NCAA would have demanded he be shot by firing squad.

If he was a quarterback at Ohio State he would have parked his $80,000 sports car at his apartment, declared for the NFL draft, refused to talk to the NCAA, and gotten off scot-free.

In the Manziel case, the NCAA did (and could do) nothing, just as they couldn't in the Clarrett case.  Manziel's pathetic suspension came from A&M.

Sparty is really, really going to suck this year (no QB, no receivers, no RB, no Oline).  They'll probably beat Michigan but not qualify for a bowl.

So Johnny Football's going to miss the first half.
At least that way he can watch Mussburger skeeve on his girlfriend live.

I think he should be made to sit on the sideline in full uniform signing autographs for free (with an endless line of fans and supply of sharpies) for the full first half of the game. :)

I think he should be forced to go into the stands and collect the autographs of 500 fans, to make up for his signing all those autographs of his own.

That would be for the second half of the game. :)

Arizona and RR still have not settled on a QB.

Maybe that is just RR playing things close to the vest since Arizona has a stupidly easy OOC schedule this year, so why reveal anything?

But usually, in my experience, when you don't have a QB take the starters job, it is rarely because several of them are just that good...usually it is because all of them are just that mediocre... :(

Still better-off than Sparty - they started last week with a two-way race for the starting QB job, and ended with a 4-way race!  :lol:
Yeah, that is not good. Not good at all.

It is interesting what is going to happen at Arizona. Consesnus seems to be that BJ Denker has the job. Replacing Matt Scott is a tall order though.

But we have a solid O-Line and Kadeem Carey, so on offense we might not be quite as good as last year, but still should be very solid.

Also, is anything going to happen with Arizona's defense this year?  I know you think it can't get worse, but that's what Michigan fans thought in 2009, as well.

That is the million dollar question.

Supposedly the system is tough to learn, and we return a lot of starters from last year, and have a lot of guys who played a LOT last year. But that is a lot of guys returning from a utterly terrible defense.

If they can just improve to being kind of mediocre, we should be all right...

Who the hell would believe somebody would want to pay for an OSU QB's autograph anyway.

SMU's giving Texas Tech a little what-for tonight. They're not getting pushed around tonight.

Michigan State is doing what Michigan State does well:  keeping Western Michigan in the game.
