Patterson - the possible nightmare scenario
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:51 AM ^
is that he ends up at Ohio State
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
OSU isn’t really Recruiting the straight drop back type are they?
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:55 AM ^
but that happening is my nightmare. .
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:04 AM ^
That would be so urbs, just to keep us from getting him. Lol
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:38 AM ^
it was during the RichRod transition. Tressell did just that. I don't think he ever played a down at OSU.
Tressel capitalized off of Michigan people wanting to come to OSU.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:08 AM ^
Would be he's my math teacher and I'm a senior in high school. And it's the day before the final exam and I realize I've been cutting class for so long I dont even know where the final is being held or at what time. I'm trying to find Patterson to take the test but I know I dont know any of the material and I'm sure to flunk the class and not graduate.
Or another version is Patterson is my history professor in college and I've got a 30 page paper due tomorrow and I havent read any of the material or even started on the project and know I'm going to get an F, fail the class and not graduate. I'm looking for Patterson to try and get an extension but I know Patterson wont give me one.
Then I wake up.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:13 AM ^
Many years on from college, still get those nightmares about once every few months.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:35 AM ^
then I wake up and realize that I already graduated. Such a great feeling
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:09 AM ^
I never discussed it with anybody cuz who wants to talk about their dreams, and it’s a silly dream, but yeah, I’ve had those too. And I graduated 20 yrs ago, lol. Weird!
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:39 AM ^
Samey-same. I never went to the class and there's blue book exam in the morning. It often morphs into something dealing with my current job. Everyone discovering I'm a complete fraud.. Then I wake up and get things done.
December 3rd, 2017 at 8:44 PM ^
so I never got the syllabus. So I had no idea what day the final exam was or where it was.
December 3rd, 2017 at 1:04 PM ^
and I graduated 46 years ago.
December 3rd, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
Holy fuck i thought i was the only one. So they don’t stop?
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:14 AM ^
funny how ubiquitous that dream theme is. That's basically the nightmare that I have now and again.
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:03 AM ^
But pretty sure those types of dreams all relate to stress in your subconscious. I had those dreams when I was looking for work or other family drama going on. I doubt that helps, but helps explain why those dreams are ubiquitous and shared across so many different people regardless of what else they may or may not have in common
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:13 AM ^
I always end up in the classroom somehow wearing nothing but my underwear.
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:44 AM ^
Because I skipped it so much. That still gnaws at me
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:48 AM ^
Mr. Patterson was my 8th grade chemistry instructor.
True story bro.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:20 PM ^
of the nightmare prison sentence of boxer Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter for his alleged involvement in a Patterson, NJ murder case.
December 3rd, 2017 at 5:58 PM ^
In Patterson, that's just the way things go.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:31 PM ^
that I arrive in some college class to take an important exam, and realize I haven't attended class all semester, or done any of the assigned reading.
That's bad enough, but in many of these scenarios I'm also buck naked for some reason.
The fact that I finished college 35 years ago, always attended class fully-clothed and always did the reading doesn't seem to matter. I'd rather have dreams about being chased by an adult T-Rex, which I've also had many times.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:23 AM ^
What part of Patterson game is straight drop back. The kid is a dual threat by every definition of the word. Think taysom Hill with more arm talent. People are so high on Peters after playing the basement of the big ten. Shea Patterson is a proven commodity. Harbaugh is all about competition. If Peters isn’t willing to compete for a job as a Rs soph, then that tells enough right there. In the words of some coach in the south, this is MAJOR college football.
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:02 AM ^
Where did all his rushing yard go? His rusjing stats for 2017 are literally negative...
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:02 PM ^
the problem with this scenario is fhat patterson is not a "pocket passer" as he has been compared mostly to johnny manziel but taller. so if he is truly a dual threat guy or someone who can make plays with his legs that he would be a fit at most schools including ohio state
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
Can we stop with the Shea stuff until it actually happens
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:46 PM ^
Seriously, he isn't going to transfer if he has to sit for a year. Since he's got two years left the new probation for Ole Miss won't let him transfer without sitting - unless he's graduated in just 2 years.
He wants the money, that's why he went to Mississippi in the frst place. He'll go pro after next year.
December 3rd, 2017 at 3:05 PM ^
I don't think he'll go pro after next year if he can't get immediate eligibility elsewhere. He's played a total of 10 games in two seasons. With transfers and scholarship reductions starting to kick in, Ole Miss isn't going to be good next season and it'll be tough to shine enough to leave early and be a first rounder.
Going to a place like Michigan might be his best option -- even if he has to sit out a year. Get a year of training from someone like Harbaugh, and then ball the fuck out in 2019 when Michigan should have a loaded offense.
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:54 AM ^
Your years are off. Next season is 2018. Time flies...
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:56 AM ^
Your obsession with specifics is maddening. This is a "SCENARIO" -- it's not random, haphazard speculation.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:02 AM ^
Hahaha, WRONG!
"So, listen. I was looking at the situation and if these 35 things happen over the next 2 months, we are totally fucked."
"I'm not paranoid, you're paranoid!"
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:37 AM ^
Actually it’s pretty much entirely random haphazard speculation.
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:54 AM ^
Wow, what a stretch. First of all, mccaffrey can't start 2017 cause that's already over.
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:55 AM ^
You're giving me diabetes. Chill the fuck out.
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:56 AM ^
Enough of this nonsense. If Harbaugh takes Patterson the other QBs need to sack up. I’m tired of all this “don’t hurt anyone’s feelings” garbage. If anyone leaves due to Patterson coming in. See ya! The team needs as many bullets in the chamber as possible. You can either cut the mustard or you can’t. Plain and simple.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:05 AM ^
This "bullets in the chamber" thing is starting to irritate me. Brian says it all the time and I ignore it because it really doesn't matter and I get the point. But if we're all going to start saying it, can we switch to "bullets in the magazine"? I'll even settle for clip as that is not technically incorrect... I don't know if football players are kept in clips or magazines.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:27 AM ^
"bullets in the chamber" describes the baking chamber that the bullets are made in
the field is the gun
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:29 AM ^
What about a revolver? They have 6 bullets in the chamber ready to rotate in. Plus 6 is a much more realiztic number of backups than a rifle magazine.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:50 PM ^
A loaded revolver has its bullets in the cylinder, not chambered.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:36 AM ^
Um, revolvers don't have clips or magazines right? They have chambers.
EDIT: Beaten to it since I started looking around wikipedia lol.
But I agree with Stay.Classy. We're not in a position to pass over highly-regarded players who could really help us. Peters is hardly a sure-fire star at this point.
December 3rd, 2017 at 12:10 PM ^
ARROWS IN THE QUIVER!!
December 3rd, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
players that run away at the first sign of competition when they feel entitled to a starting job. That's particularly an issue for a leadership position like QB. It's not as if Harbaugh will announce that Patterson is the starter if he transfers. He'll still have to win the job just like the others.
It's part of Harbaugh's job to avoid that in recruiting. You can tell our recruits have been drilled with the idea that there will always be competition for jobs and they can earn playing time rather than having to wait in line. That's why so many true freshmen play.
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:57 AM ^
Still amazed people think we couldn't keep good QBS on the roster without them all immediately wanting to transfer. Osu has no problem doing it. Not everyone is afraid of competition.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:20 AM ^
Does OSU really have good QBs? Or is their system just so easy to pick up for young QBs and simple to run that it makes them look better than they actually are. I mean Barrett is good in OSU’s system and maybe a handful of other systems in the country, but for the most part he would struggle to operate in probably 75% of P5 offenses around the country.
December 3rd, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
ranked the #2 dual threat in his class.
December 6th, 2017 at 5:46 AM ^
A top50 ish QB that would struggle to operate in 75% of college offenses and struggles to see over 99% of the offensive lines, and BARELY meets the height requirements to ride rollercoasters.
December 6th, 2017 at 10:01 AM ^
"Does OSU really have good QBs?"
JT Barrett: 3 time B1G QB of the year, Freshman All American, 4 star (0.93) - #2 dual threat recruit
Joe Burrow: 4 star(0.90) - #8 dual threat recruit
Dwayne Haskins: 4 star(0.96) - #7 Pro style recruit
Tate Martell: 4 star(0.97) - #2 dual threat recruit
December 3rd, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
... but I've heard people use the argument that Alabama and OSU convince elite players to come and comptete every year. Well, as but one counterexample of which many of us are aware, Alabama had three quarterbacks--Barnett, Cornwell, and Bateman--transfer just this past year, and Saban was none too pleased. It's easier to convince players to come or stay at, say, the defensive line position, where they might be competing for multiple spots in a position that rotates in players.
December 3rd, 2017 at 9:58 AM ^
actual lol
maybe we should come up with some offseason games for the board to play instead?
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:19 AM ^
That should solve all the offseason problems.
