Pryor may or may not be right that Wiscy isn't a better team than them, but he is wrong about this: they sure were better for three and a half hours last week. And that is all that counts in the standings.

TP is actually advocating repeated simulations of seasons and sampling.
It's actually pretty smart if you think about it - no one ever plays the game, we have a madden-fest, maybe someone writes it up ala Nate Silver, and he has more time to kill people.
Why not?

Whenever I watch Ohio State and see Pryor's inconsistency, and the jawing before and after games, there is a vibe I can't shake that Tressel put all his eggs in one basket with this guy from the moment he chose the school, and is torn by it.
Picture like Tom Hanks running out of money and taking a lucrative 6 episode gig playing Snookie's boyfriend on "Jersey Shore".

Didn't Seem That Way, TP
Boy, I was at the OSU-UW game and this is such a ludicrous statement. When things looked bad for OSU, Pryor was moping around and brushing people off that tried to talk to him on the sideline. He is good for fired up nonsense a week later, but when the game was getting down to it, his body language was sulky and he definitely was not the spark that was going to drive that team.
October 25th, 2010 at 12:49 AM |

Maybe 9 out of 10 times might be a distinct possibility in Columbus. But not in Madison. Camp Randall was rocking like no other.

I remember constantly reading updates and praying that TP would choose Michigan. I was on the bandwagon thinking he was going to be our savior. Now everytime I see him open his mouth, shrink in the moment, and fail to live up to the hype I just think "Whew. I am so glad he picked tOSU.".
He is the perfect representative for Tressel and the Buckeyes.

I'm still not seeing how
This is that different than "we beat ourselves", which has been the drum beat here for 2 weeks. I don't see the difference in "being dominated" or not between a 31-18 loss, or a 34-17 loss. Or for that matter, a 38-28 loss. Because while we scored 3 TDs to make to close after they had a huge lead, OSU cut it to 21-18 in the 4th before Wisconsin pulled away. Far closer than we got in either of our two last games.
If you want to beat the drum that this is just a message board, and he was stupid to say it in public, go for it. But if you've been preaching the "we beat ourselves" mantra, it's being a bit hypocritical to jump on Pryor for thinking the same thing.

It's not quite apples and oranges, but maybe two different kinds of apples. I haven't seen anyone on here claim that we'd beat MSU or Iowa 9 times out of 10. (Because we wouldn't.) We have said that if a few plays had gone a different way, we'd have had a chance to win right up until the end. I haven't seen anyone claim that we're a better team than Iowa or MSU.
October 25th, 2010 at 10:39 AM |
It's not so much his statement about......
It's not so much his statement about......
........."we beat ourselves". It's more about stating that "everyone knows we would win 9 out of 10 times". Everyone knows? Kind of hard to make a statement starting with that phrase when you played one game and Wisky beat them, had them beat nearly the entire game and yet he qualifies it further by stating that OSU would win 9 out of 10 times. This isn't a scrub team they played who just got lucky. Wisky is a decent team, with a pretty good defense and solid running game. This is Pryor talking, who just got done beating a terrible Purdue team and he still threw 2 Int's in it.
As for UM fans lamenting about MSU and Iowa, I don't think I saw anyone make a statement saying "everyone knows we beat them 9 out of 10 times". Most have said that if we didn't make the stupid mistakes we made in those game that it could have turned out different. Quite a bit of difference in the statements made.
October 25th, 2010 at 11:48 AM |
Context and stupidity
Context and stupidity
For one thing, it is entirely different for this statement to come from a player. For someone who is on the field and in control of his own destiny, a statement like this comes off as exceedingly arrogant and whiny. Hubris! The masses back home can pontificate as they like about why ze Germans are advancing against the French and it is only so much noise. But for your field commander to make excuses as to why the battle was lost reveals a genuine lack of character when that role requires true fortitude, and is cause for alarm among French and delight among Germans. So, there is a difference: People in a role to determine outcomes of interest are held to a different standard than mere passive observers.
That said, I am mostly in agreement with you. It is quite stupid to say, "M would have beaten MSU and Iowa if not for those turnovers and penalties!!!" Those people are morons on par with Pryor -- but with less athletic ability, so even lower overall. It is quite another thing to say, "If M hadn't committed those penalties and turnovers, those games would have been different." Which, yeah duh. It's somewhat stupid due to circularity, but true nonetheless.
October 25th, 2010 at 4:13 PM |
Like I said
Like I said
One wants to trash him for saying he should keep his mouth shut for talking outside of "Hayes Hall" or whatever they call it, go for it, full blow, all cannons firing. I'm not going to argue he's not stupid.
It's just a lot of the response that "no, they weren't even CLOSE in the game, they didn't have a chance" after a few weeks of every justification that if A and B (and C...and D...maybe E...) didn't happen, we'd have had a great shot of beating MSIowa.
I think OSU had a chance in the fourth to win the game, but Wisconsin took it from them. I think we had a chance to beat either MSU or Iowa. But I give credit that those teams were in control most of the game, and outplayed us. We didn't beat ourselves anymore than OSU did, or really, any team.
That's all I was saying. Not "don't get on his case for saying it". Just look in the mirror if you're on his case for thinking it. Because I'm guessing, even though as was said above, the board is not a hive mind, there's at least a bit of people who said "we beat ourselves with turnovers" saying "HA, OSU got ROLLED, he's stupid!". And I'm not going to research who said what....I don't care that much, nor does anyone else. Just saying, each person knows their view on it.

The bottom line is, Wisconsin
The bottom line is, Wisconsin
The bottom line is, Wisconsin was better than them. It didn't come down to a field goal with 10 seconds left. Wisconsin played a better game, therefore they were better than Ohio State. TP made a really uninformed comment, and it sounded like sour grapes more than anything. Hopefully Tressel will have a talk with him about sucking it up in interviews, admitting the loss, and moving on.
Right, because coaching transitions usually go super smooth.
My point is, we have NO IDEA how these next five games are going to play out. Regardless of how you feel about Rodriguez right now, he's here. Deal with it. Enjoy watching the team. Will you still be complaining if we go 5-0 to end the year and get into a great bowl game and go 11-2 on the season? It's not likely, but let's just wait and see.
I haven't once said that Rodriguez should get a five year extension. I haven't once said that he isn't skating on thin ice. The fact is that he's still the coach here, and I'm going to support him while that's the case and the team is still improving.
Your argument about the fans giving Rodriguez more time than a lot of the players they've thrown under the bus just doesn't make sense. For one, I haven't seen many players thrown under the bus. Two, Rodriguez's success isn't in tied to him putting on 20 pounds and finally figuring out how to wrap up on a tackle. He proved he can coach when he was at WVU (yeah yeah, Big East, blah blah blah).
If Rodriguez's offense was sputtering consistently I'd agree with you, but it's not. They're putting up monster yards and shooting themselves in the foot.
As far as how much he gets paid and whether he's shitting the bed or not, do you really think that David Brandon and Bill Martin haven't gotten more emails asking them to fire RR than to keep him? I have no problem with him making 3 million a year for doing his job 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Coaching a college football team is one of the most stressful jobs in the country.
