EVA Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 There's a report that Chris Fowler is out as the host of Game Day, ending his almost 25 year run on the show. I thought he did a good job as ringmaster of that traveling sideshow for the bulk of that, but you could really tell he was spread too thin this past season when he added PBP duties for the Saturday night game. Rece Davis will replace him, and I like him a lot. But I think Fowler is a better host than PBP guy, and Rece is a much better PBP guy than him, so...I feel like the optimum solution would be to flip-flop what they're actually doing.

Joe Lucia Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 All about the contracts. Each guy was going to jump ship without a promotion and quite frankly, both deserved a promotion. Davis wasn't doing PBP on Saturday anyway - wonder what happens to CFB Final with Holtz and May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Ah, yes, I forgot they signed Fowler to that huge contract last year. He really is a sub-par PBP guy, though. Hopefully he'll improve at some point over the next 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think he's...fine. Which isn't a bad thing, but you expect more from your lead play by play voice. Curious as to where CBS ends up going now to replace Verne. All signs had them making a run on Davis. They have some fine internal candidates, but again - fine. Not great.

Pete Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Stay classy, Petrino. (Matt) Colburn is a running back at Dutch Fork High School in South Carolina. Eight months ago, Colburn committed to play for Petrino at Louisville. (Petrino is in his second stint as Louisville’s head coach; you can be forgiven if you’re having trouble keeping up with all the twists and turns in Petrino’s career path.) Colburn is considered a three-star prospect: A very good football player, although not the kind of elite talent who has scholarship offers from all the top football schools across the country. At the time that Colburn committed, Louisville seemed like a good fit for him. But it turned out that Louisville had more good players commit to this year’s class than they were expecting. So many good players that they couldn’t fit them all under the scholarship limit. So instead of telling some of the new kids who have come along, “Sorry, but we don’t have any more scholarships to give,” this week Petrino decided that Colburn — who shut down his own recruiting eight months ago when he committed to Louisville — wouldn’t have a scholarship to enroll at Louisville in the fall after all. That’s a lousy way to treat a kid who made a commitment to your football program, and it leaves Colburn in limbo. The other schools that had been recruiting Colburn moved on when he announced his commitment to Louisville eight months ago, and they’ve now reached their own scholarship limits and no longer have a scholarship to offer him — and unlike Petrino, those other coaches won’t kick another kid to the curb to make room. So Colburn is now scrambling to find another college to attend. Oh, and did I mention that Petrino didn’t even have the guts to tell Colburn himself? Petrino had an assistant coach make the call to inform Colburn that he won’t be getting a scholarship to Louisville this year. Colburn’s high school coach, Tom Knotts, is furious and says he and some other high school coaches have decided they will no longer work with Petrino when he wants to recruit their players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Petrino and other coaches won't hesitate to call out a kid who can't make up his mind about what school to attend. Here, you have a guy who made his choice months in advance, stuck to it, and he's still screwed. This happens a lot more than we hear about, but it seems scummier because of the Petrino factor.

It's scummier because it occurred so close to National Signing Day, the kid had no warning, and this is now a dead period for recruiting so they kid can't contact any schools he hasn't already been in contact with.This was a straight-up douchebag move by Petrino and Louisville designed to screw over a kid who did nothing wrong.

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Petrino is a fucking piece of shit and always has been. With that said, a lot of these college ball coaches are pieces of shit. I hate the entire system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'm sure this kid isn't the first to be hosed in this fashion, but good that in this day and age that a coach got called out for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Oh boy, the kids from that video better VERY quickly transfer out of the state of Oklahoma. Apparently a bunch of organizations and teams of OU are protesting in front of the administration building (Bob Stoops is standing with them - literally). Now that they're costing OU commits... yeah, run. Especially when other angles start appearing that show your faces, clear as day. Oh, wait, here's one.
