I think their last good one was Pennington....

Darnold has had success elsewhere. Teams like this can’t wait for a qb to mature.

Yeah, seems like more of a coaching/FO issue. Geno has had success other places, so has Darnold. In Darnold's case, the HC at the time took ownership and said they were the issue. The last time they almost had a good QB was when they went to the AFCCG twice with Sanchez...then decided that they needed to "turn him loose" a bit, but got rid of the weapons they had that helped them get there.

Basically, they were expecting him to carry the team like an elite QB...he was good, but not elite.

Juju Watkins on Thursday vs #1 UCLA 38 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 8 blocks.

8 blocks...she's a guard.

I find this extremely funny

Embarrassing

I'm more trying to understand why they retired this dudes number.

He damn near caught a felony conviction while he was there.

I don’t know anything at all about this story.

But maybe hanging it upside down was an intentional protest by the person/people tasked with hanging it?

Very well could be.

I mean, I get the bar is low now but he was a transfer from TT, they were a basic ass team in year 1 and had a decent year last year. Then while facing charges for sexual assault was allowed to stay on the team.

It is really sad what our society is becoming. Bad behavior is just accepted and brushed off like it doesn’t matter.

Some example we are setting for future generations.

If you thought there was some serious hype about CC's rookie year in the W.....just wait for Watkins.....

Far better player.

Is she a better player?

Yes.

Will she be more hyped?

I doubt it. There was a lot to the CC story that made her so marketable. A lot of it was the rivalry with Angel Reese.

I don't know about far better. Her game is different from CC's.

CC is better shooter and a better passer. Juju is a better "pure scorer" and defender. Rebounding edge would go to Juju, CC's handles are a little better.

Juju is also a better athlete.

They basically accepted the fact that their best player could be going to jail for sexual assault and then hangs him up in the rafters the next season. Wild stuff.

 

[trojanfan12]

Siiiiiiiick.

Game was really good. USC jumped out to about a 15 point lead. UCLA came back and was able take a 9 point lead. Then USC outscored them 24-8 in the 4th. It was UCLA's 1st loss of the season.

Far better is a huge stretch as well. Nobody cares much about women’s ball this year without the rivalry of CC and Angel. Been real quiet

Yep.

Why Magic/Bird was more compelling than Jordan beating everyone.

Watkins is a 2 way player, that's pretty much why I said far better.

CC isn't a bad defender, but about average. Watkins could be a really good defensive player and also a really good offensive player.

Would have been ninjad, I was about to say it’s still women’s basketball.
