This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Until he became the starter by Vairish84

everyone was saying he would stay, get his degree (which he will in December I believe) and move on.

He would not want to back-up Buchner forever.

I don't think anyone expected him to become the starter, but it was for injury. We saw his ceiling and his floor. He definitely has a higher floor than Buchner, but also a lower ceiling. Peak Pyne was USC. There is not a single person on this or any website saying he is good enough to win a NC and that is the standard.

I wish him nothing but the best, as long as he doesn't play us.

As for the bowl game, I tend to doubt Buchner will be ready but who knows. If not, Angeli gets 10 or 20 practices as QB1 to show off what he can do. If it is Buchner, presumably he will run the Pyne offense (no RPO no meaningful QB run choices) rather than the Buchner offense that we started the year with. Personally, I would like to see what Buchner can do playing QB rather than being the lead rusher in every game as well as the QB. I also want to see Angeli.

While I want to win the bowl game, it is a scrimmage. Depending on when he goes into the portal, Pyne could still play.
