I will watch the national champ game if I don't have anything else going on............................like pulling out my fingernails with a pair of vise grips or dropping acid into my eyes.......................

What the he!! is a Reno Ferri?? Sounds like a boat you gamble on

But, again, whether Wolford is the answer or not, Heacock needed to go--and before he actually did.

I stopped using my hands to bless myself momentarily and respond that I could not agree more. IP, you were the leader of the pack, against me, when I said that back then. So instead of saying that the I have an unjustified allegiance to coach H. Why not just admit you have a bias against me and be done with it? It is kind of like the man that tells is wife of 20+ years that he never loved any of the women he fooled around with.

I have no bias against you, I don't even know you. I just don't get your diehard allegiance to someone who had that poor of a record. But to each his own.

Pita--you know I love ya' but yes Heacock won the conference and Tressel didn't. Tressel also won 4 National Championships. Heacock won 2 playoff games in 9 years, both in the same year. I know which I'd rather have on my resume. Jon was (and is) one of the greatest PEOPLE you'll ever meet. But we can't confuse that with what happened on the football field.

Wick--I've never thought it was far-fetched that Tressel would coach again, and that it could very well be here. This is one place that would welcome him (for the most part) and I believe he would be successful again here.

They don't have to "work out" anything. He has one year left on his contract. Unless he leaves on his own.

I hate to be on Paladin's "team" but when statements are made like Heacock was one of the best molders of raw talent, it's time for the rubber room. It should be PAINFULLY obvious to all on this site that 1-AA's daily genuflecting at the framed photo he has above his fireplace of Heacock (with the gold-plated inscription "To 1-AA--thanks for sticking with me, after all I did make the playoffs once in NINE years, Love, Jon) isn't going to change. Now I'm not going to defend Wolford's late-season failures at all, but Paladin's statement that Heacock was handed a championship program and Wolford wasn't, rings true. Wolford felt he needed to basically purge the roster and so he did. And his wins have increased over the 4 year span. Just looks bad that there has been faltering at the end of the year. But, again, whether Wolford is the answer or not, Heacock needed to go--and before he actually did.

I LOVE fat azz Matthews getting fired. He acted like a child when we beat them in the playoffs here a few years back (playoffs??!!) and was rude to our entire athletic staff the whole time they were here. Good riddance and hope he ends up pumping gas where he belongs.

Pita--we're in a tough spot right now. Specifically, Mr. Strollo is in a tough spot. He has no money to buy out the last year of Wolford's contract. That being said, letting him coach the last year as a lame-duck is a poor option as it will make it near impossible for him to effectively recruit. And if he extends his contract right now, all heck will break loose. All that and breaking in a new quarterback in a tough league will make it tough on whoever is coaching. Good luck selling tickets next year. I'd say pop in those tapes of the 90's teams, have a glass of wine, and tell Ray he looks good. Then again, maybe a few glasses of wine to make the last statement!!!

We go to the playoffs. Something that hasn't been done here in awhile. I say that's progress under Wolford.

Not if you don't win next week you don't.

Ysu still gets in even with an L next week. Even tho I don't want that scenario but they will get in.

Hate to say I told you so....but I did

Illinois, Butler and who else is our 2014 non-conference?  Is it Duquesne again?

Next year is a 12 game schedule again. The non-conference games are Butler (a playoff team--what a joke), Duquesne, St. Francis, and Illinois

Since the last addition to the league no one plays all the other teams, play all but one, two year cycle I believe. MSU should be on the sched next year not sure who will be off.

We do play Missouri St next year. No Northern Iowa.

Not sure Indy--I think assistants go year to year except in certain circumstances. Montgomery may be an exception.

That's all we need to do is hire a coach from Waynesburg, wherever the he!! that is. As if we aren't already a laughing stock. And someone suggested Carl Pelini? Next year's ticket brochure: Everyone light up!!
