Maryland Week
I, for one, would not have fired Ralph Fridgen as head coach of Maryland–he did pretty well at a school that will never be top tier and he is a grad.
So they hire Randy Edsall(my pick for the ND job) who will just use this as a stepping stone for a bigger job.
Make no mistake Edsall is a good coach and I do not think this will be a walk in the park for ND. Consider 3 games Maryland played this year:
Miami W 32–24
West Virginia L 37–31
Clemson L 56–45
Clemson had to come from behind to win. So this is a classic trap game and if ND starts slow look out for this team can score points.
Still don’t know what to make of the QB deal at ND–with Rees we are surrendering roughly half the field since the long ball not there.
Get Gunner Kiel–should be top priority.
Injuries pile up:
Cave out for the year.
Riddick out with hamstring–replaced by Toma.
Teo and Lynch–ankles?
E. Johnson–ankle?
Next topic Penn State:
Paterno out at end of the year–he’s been there for 50 yrs and is winningest coach at over 400 wins although about half of the wins against
the Youngstown States of the football world.
State College is a small town and like all small towns hard to keep a secret and even harder in the Sports Dept. They must have known Sandusky a pervert yet he still has an office on campus.
I can understand the Grad Asst McQueary not knowing what to do-his word against the Defensive Co-ordinator but I am appalled about Paterno and the rest of the administration. This is child abuse which is a crime. Sandusky should have been banned from the school and the police notified immediately–coverup and Paterno had to have been involved.
