He was making $5.7 million a year at FSU, guaranteed thru 2024. How rich do you need to be?
I keep hearing all this bullshit about the facilities being so much better. Of course some SECSPN analyst will say that since there so far up that conference’s ass.  FSU’s facilities are just as good. Maybe not as big, but just as good. They spent a shit ton updgrading after the championship season to make everything state-of-the-art and up to par with other big universities - because he asked for it, and the school made it happen.  FSU would’ve bent over backwards for the guy. Instead he turned his back on FSU. Didn’t even have the balls to tell his coaches and players, he let the media do it for him. This is what you hired, Texas A&M.  Like they say about women who cheat - once a cheater, always a cheater. He turned his back on us, don’t think he won’t do it to A&M if greener dollars are waived his way. 
Looking like we might go after Willie Taggart. He’s a Florida native and pretty much put USF on the map during his time there. And he’s a Jim Harbaugh protege. I’d be happy with him.

Anyway, moving forward... Longest bowl streak in NCAA history!

Wooooooo!!

$40M guaranteed vs $75M guaranteed.  I'll never fault a coach for chasing money because I know I'd do the exact same thing in my career (albeit at much, much, much smaller stakes)

And FSU doesn't have facilities like this....it has turned into an arms race with all these big time football schools to open these ridiculous football specific facilities.  Clemson just opened one this year too.

That’s what I mean by how rich do you need to be? You and I will never know the difference between 45 and 75 million. I don’t see how one is any more life changing than the other. You’re filthy rich either way. I guess I’m just tired of greedy assholes running everything in this country and not having any loyalty to the folks that put them in the position they’re in.
I mean, don’t get me wrong. Good for him. He grew up in a little town in WV about an hour and a half from where I live. He went thru a divorce this year and maybe needed a big change of scenery to move past that. I get that. 

I just think he could’ve handled the situation a lot better. Instead of lying to the school, the players, and his coaching staff. Mr “I see things out til the end.” Its like he just gave up after one bad season. Gave up on his players, his staff, the school, and worst of all - his own ability to overcome adversity. It’s upsetting because he just signed an extension at FSU at the end of last season. And he is a great coach. I guess I’m just getting more disgusted by the money machine that runs everything these days. College football used to be about playing your heart out to hopefully get drafted as a professional one day. It used to be about pride. It’s nothing but greed anymore.

Long gone are the days of Bobby Bowdens, Tom Osbornes, Frank Beamers, & Bear Bryants. It makes me sick.

You can't be serious. This game should of been a blow out at half time. Your badgers did not have the athletes and if JT could of hit wide open receivers this game would of never beeen in doubt.

Call it money machines or whatever you want. You and I agree on a lot of things but this cannot be one of them. A dude quit coaching a schook to coach another. This move was highly anticipated. I probably heard of the rumors some 2 weeks ago +. In doing so, he received a SUBSTANTIAL guaranteed pay increase. 
 
I just left a company that paid above the median annual income and treated me very well personally, for a job that will pay me nearly double. I don't think that makes me a sellout, but rather a guy that wants to improve his (and his girlfriend's) quality of life.

We played the worst we could've played in othe first half. Hornibrook was awful, defense couldn't tackle. Second half we were the better team, and had a great chance to win that was severely hurt by a blown call that everyone in the entire stadium and their sister saw. We played well enough in the second half to win that game.

You can't just say "it would've been a blowout if we had played better", because we can say the same exact thing.


Anyway, I had fun in Indy. OSU fans were huge dicks to us which was disappointing, but I guess you cant expect better from people who live in Ohio.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the Buckeye fans.  We are not all like that. I love the Buckeyes but I agree we have some of the worst fans in the nation. 

Safe travels back home

JT gave you guys 7 with the pick six and we should of had 7 before half if he could hit a wide open receiver. That's a 14 point swing right there. 

Your defense got beat with speed. It wasn't bad tackling. 

You understand that I can just say our defense, the #1 defense in the nation coming into the game, tackled terribly and that if they had made half of the missed tackles they had we would have won big? Saying "If my team played better they would have done better" is an absolutely ridiculous argument.

You being at the game and me watching on TV are different perspectives. But yes I see your point. 


And again Im sorry you were treated that way by Ohio State fans.

I assume you weren’t already making $45 million at your old job? If I took a job with a 67% pay increase right now, it would be nothing less than an absolute blessing. I’m struggling to make ends meet and going further into debt each month. Not, taking a better paying job doesn’t make everyone a sellout. But you and I aren’t making 8 figures.  If you can’t survive off $45 million, you’re doing something wrong.

Hornibrook is a shit QB who only looks not bad because of his receivers. Wisconsin was never the better team on that field. It would have a blow out if Ohio hadn't literally handed you 14 points.
It's also why Ohio shouldn't be in the playoffs. They will end up as embarrassed as they were last year.

Let the argument begin!

I say OSU gets in.

SC plays Wisconsin in their bowl game and wins.
