Worst College Football Excuses

1.      Look at their out of conference schedule/in conference schedule

Example:  All the conference hate/love fest. 

You guys know how it goes.  “Your conference isn’t tough”… "Your out of conference games are all against high school teams”.  Forget all of that.  Take a look at the whole schedule and go from there. 

2.      That player won’t be good in the NFL/He’ll be a bust in the NFL

Example:  Reggie Bush, Dennis Dixon

We as fans… and human beings love to build things up just so we can watch them crash.  Just tune into VH1 and watch any of their “reality TV shows” for more proof. 

3.      That coach inherited that team

Example:  Urban Meyer, Les Miles

Both coaches brought their teams to the promis land of a BCS title. It took Meyer two years and Miles three.  That’s two-three years of coaching these players.  I think they deserve more credit for coaching these players up than a coach who saw talent. 

4.      He’s a system player

Example:  Colt Brennan, Pat White

Last time I checked, all players played in a system.

5.      Our team beat a team that that beat a team that your team lost to

Example:  Every team that loses a game

Teams change from week to week.  You think the Stanford team that beat USC shows up every week?  Michigan demonstrated they weren’t the same team against Florida as they were against Appalachian State.

6.      Yeah, we lost a few game early, but we were playing better than anyone else late in the season

Example:  Georgia, USC
