Pat Forde

Maybe I'm overreacting about this line in Forde's newest article. But it just seems like another chance to belittle Syracuse. He's mentioning his coach that should "ride the bus" for the week.

Rutgers coach Greg Schiano (37). Your team did the impossible: It lost to Syracuse by 18 points. The Orange haven't beaten anybody by that many points in three years, and haven't won a Big East game by that many points in five. Bad, bad loss.

It's sad b/c now I'm reading his column more to see how he'll bash Cuse than anything else.

While I enjoy a Pat Forde Hatapalooza as much as the next Syracuse fan

what he said is true. Rutgers should be embarrassed losing to Syracuse this year, especially this decimated squad.

So I guess, if it will help make the sting feel a bit better, you can read it as some Rutgers hatin’. Anything? Bueller? Something H-A-T-ECONOMICS?

Go Tartans!

Yeah I think that's acceptable

But that day when he was trashing SU against Penn State as if they were supposed to be competitive…that’s the kind of shit that grinds our gears

You know what else grinds my gears?

That his name is pronounced “ford-ee.” That just sounds so lame. Stop at “Ford” and be done with it, good sir! Don’t make us all waste that extra syllable on your stupid name when we could instead be using precious syllables for more worthwhile causes like making fun of Rutgers or thieving UConn basketball players. So selfish.

Go Tartans!

EWWW

Is it really? That’s just obnoxious. It’s bad enough that his picture on ESPN.com makes him look like a homeless person’s Aaron Eckhardt. Pat “Ford” sounds respectable. Pat “Fordee” sounds like someone who shouldn’t be covering college football, that’s for sure.

Pat Forde

Is a Big Ten homer as anyone ever could be. He hates the Big East.

If I were a homer

For as overrated and irrelevant a conference as the Big 10, I’d hate other conferences too.

a Kentucky homer?

What he is a homer for

it sad and pathetic.

Anyone ever really care about where he eats either? #40 is pointless. Great, next time I am in Lexington, I’ll remember to eat at Mel’s Diner. Or… perhaps I will just go to the place that I am near at the moment I am hungry.

Even the Dashette thing falls short of worthwhile. 100 million hot chicks on the planet. How can you make that uninteresting?

Should be the 37-yard dash.

I get confused when he starts listing teams, players, or coaches, but doesn’t put a number next to them….what’s the point? If you’re object is to list 40 notable names from the sports world, only list 40.

Exhibit A: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&page=dash0911&sportCat=ncf

In this column, he lists: Penn St, Pointsettia Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Texas, Oregon, SEC, Big East, Cincinnati, ACC, Georgia Tech, etc…. just to name a few, but doesn’t put some type of annotation or footnote for them as part of his 40 notables…

I also think he used the term “whom” incorrectly (although I could be wrong, any Newhouse grads here to correct it for me?).

ask and you shall receive, my friend

Georgia fans have been so mad this year they can’t decide whom they want to fire first: defensive coordinator Willie Martinez, offensive coordinator Mike Bobo or Uga. Some even want head coach Mark Richt’s head on a platter. The Dash cannot see that happening — but then again, The Dash did not foresee the Bulldogs’ scrambling for a Music City-level bowl bid this year, either.

I’m pretty sure that it is correct. In the sentence, “whom” is the direct object of the verb (fire), which means you would use whom.

“Who” is used when it is the noun that is acting out the verb, like “Who ate all of my cookies?”.

I think that’s right but who the hell really knows.
