This team is a fucking joke. And the refs are even worse.

So obvious Mizzou wasn’t gonna kneel with almost a minute left. Should NOT have happened.

Purdue running a clinic on how to run an end of half drive.

RR should take notes.

We are a dumb team with know situational awareness. That's on the coaches.

Tate couldn’t just go down. Instead of 28-21 maybe it’s about to be 35-14 and ball game

Criticize tate for ball security (or lack-thereof in this case) if you want, but don't criticize him for trying to get some extra yards.

Worse than dumb. We're (hopefully) the final of several programs RR has reduced to a gimmick in order to feather his nest.

When the refs just look away from you and your vitriol after a 50/50 replay call, what's the point of you coaching another season? Nobody's listening anymore.

He’s a QB and the most important player on the field. I’d prefer he play it safe all the time but especially in that situation. Obviously it wasn’t the right thing to do.

Eh, it's basically Tate vs the world half the time he's out there. I find it hard to blame the guy for trying to get couple extra yards, especially given his success in doing that through a large chunk of the season

If you're an Arizona fan and are OK getting punked like that for another season, just to see if he's got nine wins left in him, GTFO of Tucson with him. Nobody wants you back.
That's why I hate it, too. Heeke's reported comments after the ASU game make it seem like he wants RR out ASAP. I'd rather RR gone now than drag it out another season and have a shitty 2019 class. Tate is an improving thrower and I think he can excel in most systems. The air raid would not be a good fit (another reason to stay away from Kevin Sumlin) but there has to be someone better than RR.

Yes. Major Applewhite and Lane Kiffin have been good mentions.

The players are fighting and playing hard. They just are constantly making amateur mistakes and not being in the places they should be. That falls on lack of preparation--all coaching.
