Forde calls UM a dumpster fire

Low hanging fruit, Pat. Although I can't disagree with him.

we have a team full of great guys. I'm really proud of every single one of these kids. But that doesn't change the fact that the program is a dumpster fire. I want everyone (with the exception of Roy Manning ) to be fired. This program needs to hit the reset button, and try again next year.

I'm encouraged by your optimism!
Just so you know, you've become one of my fav's around these parts. I know we don't always see eye to eye, but you'll always get a +1 from me.

May be the first time I have seen a female use the term "douche bags" +

I would find it highly ironic if MgoBrewMom had a career in politics.

Kudos to Forde for at least pointing out the obvious at what's going on at FSU. I like that he stil called them a "successful on field; off field dumpster fire."
Seems like no one else cares other than the NYT when it comes to FSU's off field problems.

Just a question as to why you would keep Roy Manning after firing everyone else? The Cornerbacks have been the weakest part of an otherwise great defense all year.

Most of US have been calling the program a dumpster fire all year long, but when someone ELSE does it, oh my! We're going to circle up the wagons and, well, have a circle jerk. Cumong man, Frank Clark just beat the crap out of his pregnant girlfriend on top of everything else. If we don't qualify we come PRETTY DAMNED CLOSE.

Michigan has been a dumpster fire this season. It doesn't matter if he ranks them 1 or 10 on his list. I get everyones reaction though. It's like "I can call my girlfriend ugly but you can't." I just hope this "dumpster fire" gets put out before it becomes a towering inferno feeding off our tears.

Sportswriters are always right. They see all and know all. That's why they are sportswriters. Otherwise, they would just be MGoBloggers. /s

The inevitable final act in this epically disastrous season should come in two weeks, when Hoke is fired. The only thing that could be worse would be keeping him.

It has been tough absorbing all this news being close to the action - I can only imagine how LOL it all looks from afar to dude watching in Virginia or Colorado.
It is one thing to be a tire fire on the field but when you throw in a coach who was a lame duck by week 5, Concussion-gate, Coke for tickets, student protests, Email-gate, an AD firing, and your star defensive player being taken to jail as a cherry on top it has to go down as one of the - if not THE - worst season in the program's history. Forget W/L, it is everything around what happened to the team this year. If you took this script to Hollywood they'd laugh and say "too egregious man; try to make it somewhat believable."
November 18th, 2014 at 9:14 AM ^
Trailing Minnesota 30-7 at home with eight minutes left in the game would be the point at which the producer guffaws and throws the script away.

My bro in law lives in Va Beach. Graduated from Va Tech. He feels bad for us. Said at least his team can beat the Buckeyes. Ouch.

Forde works for Yahoo. But let that bias shine through anyways.

He worked a very long time for ESPN which is where he "made" his name, and probably only moved within the last couple years.
Not saying someone should be disliked because they work for ESPN, but it's also the launching point for the shouting-contrarian-views-as-loud-as-possible "journalism" so the stigma isn't undeserved
November 18th, 2014 at 10:20 AM ^
worked for ESPN. I don't follow the careers of blathering idiots.

but then that can be said about any sports journalist ever. You can throw in sports talk radio hosts and ESPN show hosts as well.
I will give him credit for calling out FSU as a dumpster fire that wins. I realize the slobberfest over them has waned this year due to their continued assbaggery but I'll still give kudos for the mention.

Well it isn't wrong....UNC should be 1 period followed by the abhorent space occupied by FSU....just because they are winning shouldn't affect how one views what is going on there, and that shit, putting athletics above institutional credibility, is abhorent/pathetic
November 18th, 2014 at 8:02 AM ^
we at least had the high road of not having asshats on the team. I can still see your case for UNC, however. He did call out FSU a bit at least. So there's that.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:06 AM ^
There are always asshats on every team every year. You dont get 100+ teenagers together and not end up with a few asshats. What defines a program is 1) actually how many there are that may show a systemic problem in the program, and 2) what you do with them once they show themselves outwardly to be asshats. Of all the problems with Hoke's program, both of the above have not been issues in my opinion.

Pat Forde is not wrong, he's just an asshole.

That reeks of piling on. Clark added nothing new to make UM a worse dumpster fire. UM has been one long before Clark was arrested and dismissed. In fact, I'll go as far as to say the quick and decisive action of Hoke actually improved the UM on the 'How Big of a Dumpster Fire is This Program Scale'.
