When I find a thread like this, that already has 8 pages by the time I notice it, I love to go ahead and jump to the end to see what all the fuss could be about for a topic that seems like it wouldn't have a lot of traction.

Yup!

Lately, it seems like Lousiana Tech has been at the forefront of too many threads like this. I'm glad GSU can get things back to the natural order of things!

NO ONE has said that this kid is the second-coming, the savior, the greatest thing since sliced bread, but rather that it looks like a solid transfer from a strong P5 program who decided to attend GSU. That is a positive. Would he have even looked at GSU before 2015, I can't say for sure but maybe (probably) not.

Huh? I'm not talking about understanding football itself. I'm talking about having experience with watching players transfer down a level. In general, people that haven't followed a lot of players who transferred down generally overestimate how good they will be at their new team.

Just as an example, in 2008 we got a transfer from Ohio State and he turned out to be a forgettable player. A lot of us GS folks have watched more P5 players transfer to us than most of the G5 fan bases.

Like I said, if this were my team and this guy is supposed to be in the thick of the battle for the starting role then I wouldn't feel overly great about the QB situation. All I'm really doing here is speaking from experience.

And while you are trying to explain to us about your vast transfer knowledge due to GS, you aren't reading our posts. We have no clue if he is the answer, but we knew we needed someone immediately to come in and compete for the job. We HOPE this will push whoever to earn the job. Meanwhile y'all are saying this can't work. It isn't worth the gamble.

The point is that anyone who follows college football, whether FCS, FBS, even pro or high school, understands the process. Some transfers are successful, some are not, but simply claiming that because GaSo fans have some more experience with this process is "not the way to build a program," as some of your brethren claim and augurs failure, is so myopic. GaSo doesn't have a monopoly on transfers failing or succeeding...hell, GSU seemed to make an art of it a couple of seasons ago.

Again, he may work out or he may not, we won't know until he gets on the field. I don't find it at all troubling that he's in the mix to be Arbuckle's successor, I like it that the coaches are not sitting still hoping one of the kids on the roster now are the heir-apparent...challenge them, coach them, the competition can only be good to find the best player to fill some awfully big shoes.

Start 2-2 in conference, win conference tourney, make NCAAs, beat Baylor...

...start 2-6, lose to FCS, lose to Charlotte, win 4 straight including being a 20.5 underdog in a game you need to win to get to a bowl and. Win hat game by 27 (find me another game where an underdog in college football has covered by 47.5 pts)...

...bought a MLB ballpark

...merged with another school to become one o the five largest schools in America...

Yeah 2015 has been ok

Stanford was like a 41 point underdog to USC once I know.

I think we covered 37 vs UH in 2012. I'd have to check our archives though.

Ok, went back through over 200 pages on BCF. The spread was 37.5 and we won by 18. I don't know how these work so someone can figure it out.

I did, however, find this quote:

Quote:National oddsmaker Danny Sheridan emailed Fran on the bus ride home, calling the win the second-biggest victory by an underdog ever after only 41-point dog Stanford's 24-23 win over USC in 2007

Only GaSt could dislocate its own shoulder patting itself on the back for acquiring a stadium ill-fitted for hosting their football team that - on its best day - could maybe fill up halfway for a game.

Let's check in on how this thread has gone, so far:

GSU fans: "We're happy to get this guy after losing Arbuckle. The other QBs on the roster aren't locks, and we'll have an actual position battle this offseason."

GS fans: "Don't count on this dude being your savior. He's a fourth-string quarterback."

GSU fans: "Uhhh, nobody said that. We like that he'll provide more competition with the QBs already on the roster."

GS fans: "You guys need to pipe down, this isn't the second coming of Russell Wilson."

GSU fans: "Again, nobody said that."
