Get rid of Parent/Family Weekend!!

So you think its pathetic to call out Zach Charles for fumbling away two punts, one of which sealed the victory for Ohio? I'm sorry, but I think THAT'S pathetic. If I know for sure I could do something better than one of our players, in this case catching punts/calling fair catch/letting them roll if necessary, I reserve the right to call that guy out. I did the same thing to a few of our basketball players when they couldn't make free throws last year. It may not be the classiest thing to do, it may not be the most popular thing to do, but it has to be done. Those two plays were huge momentum killers, and one of them prevented what certainly could have been a game-tying drive. You can't have mistakes like that on things so basic as catching punts and expect to win. That's a fact.

Charles does a very good job of returning the ball.[/quote]

That's got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard on this message board. It's been proven otherwise. If you think going after the guy is wrong, fine. But to outright lie about his performance on the field is stupid.

[/quote]And hell if you know you can do better you should definitely contact Brandon and walk on. Can't wait to see you out there. I'll be cheering you on. Hope you don't drop a punt![/quote]

If I had any chance whatsoever to walk on the team, I'd have done it already. It would be an honor and a privilege to play for my university's football team. Inevitably though, the coaches would look at my size and speed and say I wasn't cut out to play. It's all about measureables anymore. My 5.0 40 time would virtually disqualify me from the start. If given the oppurtunity though I would make the most of it.

So other than you being small and slow you'de be a good player? But hey, I'm sure you have the heart of a lion, gimme a frickin' break buddy.

Well, I'm not exactly small, I'm 6'2", 180 lbs. But that's not the point. I never said that I'm the next Charles Sharon or anything like that. I said that if given the chance to punt return on the team, I would be able to catch punts, particularly with the game on the line in the 4th quarter. It doesn't matter if you're 5'3", you could catch a friggin punt better than what we saw Saturday night if you've got semi-decent hands.

As for me having "the heart of a lion" give me a friggin break...either you're attacking my character or saying that heart and passion mean nothing in football, I can't tell which. Neither one is advisable.

This is the worst thread ever.

Nahhhh. Not even close- check out Free For All some time.

And brown is most definitely not beautiful. It's the color of poop.

So your a skinny guy that would get crushed catching punts. But I know what you'll say....at least I could catch them I would just fair catch them. Thats all well and good until some a$$ hole on here starts making remarks about how stupid the punt returner is who keeps fair catching the ball and killing our field position. And the heart of a lion comment was directed at you in the sense that you said all coaches take into account are size and speed now, I was hinting at the fact that you must not have either and with you insinuating your a regular Devin Hester you must have the heart of a lion.

If all you have to do is absolutley degrade a student athlete saying you would do a better job than him and that he lost BG a football game then live a sad sad life.

Ok, that's it. Every single player on that team is a student. They work their asses off 60+ hours a week in their sports and their studies. They put on the orange and brown and represent the University. They give up the kind of things that make us love our time in college. They do this to represent that logo on their helmets and jerseys. They represent you as fans and alumni.

You want to take shots at someone? Take shots at the coaching staff for not making adjustments to stop OU's RB from putting up 200 yards on us. Don't take shots at some 18-22 year olds who are working their asses off to represent the University and who do it well. You think you can do better? Walk on to the team and prove it. Don't take shots at a player you've never met who's sacrificed his time in college to be the good representative that he is.

You make me sick 24.

Bull. I don't know how many times you've been in the position of having to catch a punt coming down out of the lights in the wind with 11 guys coming after you who want nothing more than to smother you with the game on the line, but I'd be willing to drop $100 that not only would you not catch it, you'd look terrible messing it up.

Catching punts is not easy. Not by a long shot. To suggest that somehow you could walk on and do it better is almost as big a joke as suggesting that Family Weekend is to blame for a football team's loss and trying to justify it by throwing out statistical terms.

+1.

About 99% of BG's players will go on to do something with their lives other than play football. They work their butts off for the love of the game and school. I wish we would have won the game, but I am proud to support those guys.

I can see it now, instead of "Orange Out Week" we'll have "Code Brown Week"!
