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

Just because you’re the hottest team late in the season doesn’t mean you deserve a     chance at the ‘ship.  This isn’t MLB or NFL where the Wild Card can come in on fire         and wreak havoc.  You have to take account the whole season. 

7.      The last coach left in shambles. 

Example:  Notre Dame

    Yes, Notre Dame, I’m looking at you.  What are you going to complain about in a few     years when you are still mediocre?  Ty Willingham can only take so much of the             blame. 

8.      That doesn’t count.  That’s when we had (fired coach).

Example:  Ron Zook

    I’m guilty of this one.  I should know better, but I just can’t help myself.  As much as     I would like to rid the record books of those three years, I can’t.  I can have                 selected memory though if someone brings it up. It makes me feel better.

9.      They jumped us in the final BCS standings.  That’s unfair.

Example:  Georgia, Michigan

Do me a favor Georgia and Michigan fans.  Take off your homer glasses and take one     long good look at your season, then take a long look at who ended up taking “your         place”.  Doesn’t it feel good to let go?

10.    If anyone ever starts their sentence with “if” run as fast as you can away from them.

  Roughly, fans of about 116 team will use this phrase as much as “next year”.
