Covinared- I’m not sure many, if any, on here knock SC for academics much anymore. Though it is much easier to get into SC than it is to get into Cal. I don’t believe that’s debatable.

One thing, amongst several things, that people do knock $C for is cheating. It’s justifiable- Reggie Bush, OJ Mayo, next up is Joe McKnight and others. I don’t think that’s debatable either.

But hey, they usually are really good, so maybe the end justify the means when you operate like SC does.

Gobears, but Tedford playing Kline this year will show Keenan that Kline is playing next year. Instead of the safe assumption. Until I see Kline on the field I’m 99% sure Bridgeford will start next year.

The whole Redshirt thing is just part of Tedford’s propoganda machine to buy him more time, and like the rest of the offense, it’s based on let’s play not to lose, and take no chances in what we believe will work.

I think the Redshirt idea is ridiculous. If Kline is good he’s leaving for the NFL as soon as he’s eligible just like DeSean and everyone else always does.

So I could care less if he goes pro as a Redshirt Sophomore like Andrew Luck, or a true Junior.

Hi Moron (aka “Cheeto Kid”),

Speaking of graduations, have you picked up that AA Degree from the Community College yet? Maybe it’s like “Daddy” slurred during a drunken tirade at the Club, “…damn loser is still a couple of units short”.

Jon Wilner just came out with a new APR for Stanford, San Jose State and UC East Bay. Once again yours is deplorable.
Read it and weep.

Agree, can’t burn the year at this point. But no downside in playing a couple of our other 4,728 QBs to see what they are worth. Keenan is likely a done deal after this putrid season. Gotta clean house for coaching and come in with a big splash of hires to show we are committed to a top-notch program with new facilities.

Steve W, yeah I have no excitement about Saturdays anymore. Any excitement is really just to see the coaches show just how out of touch they are to make this obvious.

Juancho,

Even if you are right, it is not worth using up a year of Kline’s eligibility with four games left. Regarding your point regarding Keenan staying, he should already know what Kline can do from all of the practices he has had with him.

I think playing kline means they clean up this offense and remove a lot of this spread option nonsense.

I think the line will block for him. I think hell get rid of the ball faster and be hit less. I think hell be accurate with the deep ball which will stretch the defense amd not let them bring the house every play like they do against maynard and the 2 yard pass offense.

And i think it gives keenan pause for a second about coming back next year with a real qb and a heisman poster in oakland like desean.

Amen.

Juancho,

I think it would be crazy to play Kline with only four games left in the season, resulting in him burning a year.

I am not a big fan of Maynard, as I don’t think he has a very accurate arm, but he has been absolutely brutalized with all of the hits he has been taking, and has stood in there pretty strong and not backpedaling while he throws in spite of all of those hits. Have to admire the guy for that. He’s a pretty tough guy.
