Around SBN: NFL Roundtable: Which Draft Pick Is Most Likely To Bust?

Cob of the Week: Jerrod Johnson, Dan Hawkins, Bret Bielema Going For Two, And Dumb Texas Tech Guys

You know what's shocking? None of these involve LSU, Les Miles or the Florida Gators. None. Maybe we're falling down on the job. 

Or maybe not, you know, there are plenty of other gaffes going on. Hit the jump for this week's Cob of the Week Nominations! 

Star-divide

Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson who helped the Aggies wilt once again under the bright lights as they lost to the Arkansas Razorbacks 24 -17. Johnson went 15-for-40 passing for , with one touchdown and one interception. 15 for 40? Holy cobs! 

Perhaps nothing says "We're stupid" more than a bunch of guys looking at a live ball on the ground when another guy picks it up and takes it for a touchdown. That's exactly what happened to Texas Tech against Baylor last weekend. Tech might have won, but that doesn't make it any less stupid. 

Colorado coach Dan Hawkins for reverting back to playing musical quarterbacks. Yep, he put his son Cody into the game, and the suckage factor increased as the Buffies couldn't score on a Tiger defense that hardly missed Aldon Smith

How about Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema's decision to go for two, leading Minnesota 41-16 with  6:39 left in the game? Bielama explained that the scoring chart told him to do it. Then he said he had a flashback to some other game in which Minnesota scored near the end of the game. Then he complained that his dad called him a jerk when he was 12 and he'd never gotten over it and wanted someone else to feel the same way. Then he kicked a puppy. 

If Bielema's going to rub it in on a hapless Minnesota team, the least he could do is be honest about it. Remember Woody Hayes answer when he was asked about going for two when he had a 36-point lead against Michigan and went for two? "Because I couldn't go for three."  If you're going to be an asshole, then just be an asshole and admit it, Bret. Doing otherwise makes you a gutless wonder, and being gutless will aways get you a cob nomination.

Yes

But the ISU one wasn’t as bad. The would be recoverers just ran past the ISU guy who got the ball. Against Baylor they just kinda stood there and watched the ISU guy take it to the house.

10 out of 10 times...

I will vote Hawkins as Cob of the Week if given the option. Should have just stayed at Boise, behind his smoke screen of a “perennial power” in the WAC.

Cob Of The Week

You for got to mention The 2 Seconds not put back on the clock for Baylor. I guess you have to be a Longhorn for that rule?

As I reminded some other Texas Tech fans

who were complaining that Tech was probably the only football team in history to give up touchdowns with onside kicks for two consecutive weeks, the streak is still alive. Tubs can go for three TDs in three consecutive weeks against Okie State this Saturday.

Guns up?

my 2ยข

the PAT is a gimmie. 2-point conversions are earned.

if you’re a coach:
don’t like it? then get your defense to stop it.
don’t think it’s fair? then go find a new profession.
