Mustain't gonna start at QB for USC

Mustain’s mom is blowing up Carroll’s Twitter feed right now.

From the cited LA Times article:
-—————————————————————
Asked if he felt he got a fair chance to compete for the job, Mustain replied that he had talked to Bates about that but then declined to share the details of the conversation.

“I guess it depends on how you interpret drives or reps or whatever,” Mustain said, calmly. “That’s their interpretation and that’s something I’ve talked to them about, but the point is we’ve just got to keep battling.”

Mitch Mustain is the heiress to the Massengill fortune.

EDITED FOR ACCURACY: “Mustain’s mom is blowing Carroll right now.”

mmmmmm….Mack Brown Curse…..mmmmmm

Him and his parents need to schedule a meeting with the AD like pronto.

this is getting creepy.

mack is the godfather. you want to be his friend.

When are we going to get a take on all of the high profile athletes that spurned Mack? I can only think of Adrian Peterson that panned out…

peterson had a nice career in college, but nothing like he had the talent to enjoy. mack touched him, too.

Mack certainly touched him more than Eric Hall did.

c’mon, hj. you know what i mean. peterson’s name should be up there with earl and billy sims and eric dickerson, and it’s not.

good point, though, about hall. imagine if peterson had to go against what muschamp is constructing instead of hall and company.

Tommie Harris is the only clear example of a player punking Mack Brown and getting away scott free.

I’m doin’ alright.

I think Adrian Peterson’s issues have less to do with the “curse of the Brown-bino” than they do Chuck “3rd and” Long’s offensive strategy that he affectionately called “Run his ass into the ground”.

good point, martellus. what a waste.

[by the way, mb, it’s ‘all right’ not ‘alright’. given your schooling, i understand completely.]

Yep, I was basing Peterson on basically winning the 12-0 game for OU his freshman year and wrecking shit in the NFL. He is actually one of the players that I like to watch in the league. I mean, don’t get me wrong, he’s a traitor-sonofabitch that likes cock-flavored popsicles, but damn he can run.

if college football was like college basketball these days, freshman year would be a college career for the great ones, but it’s not. in sum, peterson’s college career was wasted compared to the greats of the game, and his every nfl accolade is just one more evidential data point.

Aight.

The Mack Brown curse is pretty tenuous on this one right? I gather from this thread that we offered him a scholarship, but there wasn’t any stringing us along was there?

He should transfer again.

I’m with PatronSaint on this one… Mustain didn’t do enough for Mack to give him the industrial-strength curse his career so far seems to have required. I think it’s a little Mack curse, but mostly an “I Trusted Houston Nutt” curse…

“peterson had a nice career in college, but nothing like he had the talent to enjoy.”

Peterson in the same backfield as VY would have netted us another NC and 5-6 heismans (Peterson and VY getting co-heismans each year of course), and would likely have lengthened his pro career.

Sam Houston State has an opening.

“Peterson in the same backfield as VY would have netted us another NC and 5-6 heismans (Peterson and VY getting co-heismans each year of course), and would likely have lengthened his pro career.”

I think this is actually inaccurate. I’ll go one further and say that UT doesn’t win the 2005 national championship or any national championship with AD in the backfield.

First of all, anyone who paid any attention to Vince Young’s career at all knew that the 12-0 shutout game was the turning point for him. He resolved to be a team leader and not get beat like that again. He was a much better player for the rest of 2004 and 2005, and UT as a whole was better for it. That mental progression and improved team chemistry doesn’t occur if AD is in the backfield.

Getting back on point, the UT offense under Vince wasn’t the kind of offense that would’ve been able to use both of them effectively. Adrian Peterson was effective out of formations where he could come downhill with a head of steam like the single back w/ QB under center and the I. Unlike Jamaal Charles, who was more of a shifty, speed option, he’s not effective as a supplemental option to a running QB.

Vince Young was effective in formations where he could utilize his run/pass option as a threat, improvise on his own, and capitalize on the fact that he could take off at any point in time. Enter the shotgun zone read. That sort of offense doesn’t lend itself to a dedicated power back.

That mental progression and improved team chemistry doesn’t occur if AD is in the backfield.

Nate,

That’s nothing more than verbal gymnastics.

So you’re saying the two of the most dominant college football players at their respective positions in the same backfield would essentially cancel eachother out because neither could properly lead in the other’s presence?

Hooey. They wouldn’t have even needed an offensive line or wide receivers.

Mitch and I would make an awesome backfield if we transferred to the same school.
