What's the most idiotic football comment you've heard this year?

Now...I wasn't calling you out...nor did I use your name. But this was the quote I remember.

"I think if your team is up a few scores or by a comfortable margin or down a couple scores, it's worth doing. Again, benefit in the long run."

This means the game is on the line...and I think it's stupid, especially if we are down a few scores. If you have a starter and he's not sucking or playing poorly...you don't pull him. He's the starter for a reason. You want them in the game and you don't want controversy.

My take...sorry.

I agree with the bold. I wouldn't either because maybe it's on the defense or there was a special team TD or something. Not on the QB. Again, it would be a coaches evaluation and call with how the game is going. If down a couple scores and the QB hasn't really done much or having issues hitting receivers (which Stanley has had instances in the past), I don't think is all bad to give the back up a try to jump start the team if the two QB's are relatively close. '

I think in Div 1 football, most programs will have the top two QB's be relatively close skill-wise, unless you have a very unique QB.

Again, that was not an instance of Nick paying or arranging for a player to be paid. Once a guy becomes a top NFL prospect, parasitic agents attempt to infiltrate the kids' inner circles with cash. Nick does not tolerate this stuff and Alabama has a world class compliance department. I get it that as Iowa fans you don't have to deal with a half dozen first/second round picks a year, but for playoff caliber programs, keeping these agents away is a huge issue.
 
"He, in my opinion, if not the best, is one of the best coaches in the country. I say that because, one, he’s proven he knows how to win. And you have to win at this level."

Care to guess who said this about whom?

I can give you another clue.

Geez is everybody napping?

This coach has three Top 25 finishes in the past 13 years.

Zero conference championships in the past 13 years.

The 12th or 13th highest annual salary in his profession, which if you think about it is way too low if the person being quoted thinks he might possibly be the BEST in the country.

Speaker - Dick Vitale regarding Fran.

Alternatively, Kurt Herbstreit speaking about M. Campbell.

So...if I'm understanding you correctly...Fluker and his family waited to get improper payments from agents and bypassed the usual "alumni and booster" payments. The way I see this...it's hard for me to believe that you decide to be dirty late in the process. At that point...it's a learned behavior.

Look, I get that you are a Big Ten homer and want to claim some sort of moral high ground to explain the constant skull fvcking the SEC does to the rest of the country in football, but you're barking up the wrong tree here. One thing the SEC does that is far less rampant among crappier programs is the SEC will cut ties with recruiting busts and disguise it as a medical reason or something like that. When you're an Alabama or Auburn and you can sign 30 4 and 5 star guys each class, you gotta clear out some chaff every year. Now am I to believe that these SEC teams can just run guys and not leave a single scorned player who goes out seeking revenge? No. It makes no sense. If they were paying guys, every guy who got run would be out singing to the NCAA and media about how they got paid in the recruiting process and they would document it. There has been one such example in the past several years and that was that jackass Hugh Freeze at Ol Miss.

Nick isn't paying anybody. The Bama boosters are paying the shit outta Nick's players! Stick your head in the same sand pile that ISU and Nebby fans have their heads in. Maybe you'll have better luck ignoring reality.

Look, I deal in evidence. As an Alabama fan, I think there is a good chance Mr. Newton was paid to attend Auburn, but I have no evidence. Neither do you. Y'all are just pissed off because the SEC teams are so much better than the northern teams. But at the end of the day, even if we were to assume, arguendo, that the SEC teams were paying guys and it stopped tomorrow, it still wouldn't make Iowa any better. At most it would maybe make teams like Mississippi State or Arkansas have a puncher's chance to win the SEC once every 10 years instead of getting crushed all the time.
