Topic: Grant Taylor = Chucky?

[IM4DHERD]

I have a pet.

It's a Pet Peeve.

Maybe it's just me.

I don't know.

I do know that Grant Taylor's writing becomes more and more like Landon's.

The Herald Dispatch could save thousands on the paper.

Yup, the paper wasted with empty space between one-sentence paragraphs.

I thought it was a pretty good article.

BTW the refs huddled more than the teams did :)

The Raleigh, N.C., native finished with five tackles and three sacks on Saturday with two coming in the fourth quarter of the Herd's 21-0 win.

Damien Dozier had a good game.  Also, have to give Chase a shout out for that TD run.

"Given the venom spewed on social media the past 24 hours (after a win, no less), it won't bring excitement."

That's some objective, professional journalism right there.

Grant Taylor = Chucky?

You can’t be serious. Did you read the article? Have you ever read a Done Deal article?



You can’t be serious.

Yeah, this isn't bad at all.  Meanwhile, I'm continually confused as to how Landon has a job.  I think I've agreed with him like... once... ever, and that's when I even bother to read his crap.

Bottom line, though, is that people want us to return to scoring 70 points a game and to be throwing bomb TDs all game long.  I'll take a 3 TD, shut-out win over "excitement" any day.  Yes, we need to keep working on developing the run game early.  But we need to keep winning.  Hope we can carry this momentum into Cincy and pull off the upset.

Yeah, it amazes me how some in the media and our own fan base think our fans are the only ones who have issues, criticize play calling, team play, etc. There's a who big world out there - get out of the fish bowl. Hell, we're lightweights.

Commenting only on an annoying format, not the content.  I too thought the content was good.

I don't think Herd fans are "upset because we didn' score 70" we're upset because we had only a 7-0 lead over Kent State after 3 qrts, now let that sink in for minute!  The defense is coming along, but it's the same ol sh*t with Legg's offense. Herd fans was promised a change from an AD and head coach that things would be different this year. I bet Louisville scores 21 in the 1qt on Kent this week when they play.

We could be a very good team (good D and special teams), but our O is godawful. The worst part is it looks to me that we have enough talent on O to be pretty good on that side of the ball, but our scheme simply doesn't take advantage of the strengths of our personnel

A little opinion comment slipped into the article.  You are right.  It really has no place in a game wrap-up but it certainly would be acceptable in a column.

The format is the Herald-Dispatch format.  You really can't blame the writer.

The Associated Press had adopted a similar format and I'm not crazy about it either.

Their starting QB was shredding us, if he hadn't been injured our offensive offense may not have been enough.  That's the issue.

Well E-Man we were a miracle pass away from losing to them in 2015.

Let that sink in.

[Herdfan73]

I thought it was one of the most pretentious articles I've ever read. Talking down to those who obviously don't possess the knowledge to realize what a true masterpiece this was by Marshall.

Pretty sad really, and I've been a big fan of his reporting in the past.

Apparently, E-Man, just as Louie was "shocked. . .shocked" that gambling was going on at Ric's in the classic move Casablanca, I take it that you are "shocked. . .shocked" that Marshall's AD LIED!!!!

[ThunderingHerdFan]

Who is Grant Taylor???!????

Sorry, always a pet peeve when someone tries to be observant and gets Grant Traylor's name wrong.

[bighat]

We won the game.  Enough said.

[herdfifteen]

Their QB was shredding us early before we made the necessary adjustments and became acclimated to their system. This happens to most teams playing against it the first series or two. To imply that was going to continue to happen is rather ludicrous, give Heater and the defense some credit.

As predicted Lousiville scored 21 points on Kent in the first qrt. 28-3 at the half.

Yeah, E, but you can't say that the Cards pitched a shutout like the mighty Herd D did!! ;)
