Another good one, but can’t be as good as Lamont because Sluggo didn’t know those guys
Marcellus Pippins Tropical Bowl Highlights
- Thread starter Trips R Sluggo L
- Start date
He doesn't count : )
James Hasty, funny thing he went to Central first, then barely got on the field his junior year, and when he did it was one mental mistake after another. I remember Sam Adtkins coined the phrase "that is a redshirt junior mistake" : )
A matter of fact his first year they played him at FS, then moved him to corner his senior year.He gets marked down for sending his kid to UW :0
they were both better than they were thought of and should have played more but their coach was playing favorites
You are barking up the wrong tree, and you’ve done that with my posts before. I’m not arguing with you I’m just saying those are meaningful statistics and does show that the other corners getting PT aren’t garbage. It would be interesting to see where Pippins landed on this list not only for comparisons sake but would be cool to see that many Coug DBs ranked at the top of the PAC 12.
I think the comparisons to David are interesting. David was a smallish ball hawking corner that had a very successful NFL career...and yes he also liked to jaw, dance, etc. played with swag. I always liked Pippins and thought he was talented and I think he will get a shot in a camp and I hope he makes some plays and gets on a team.
I really don’t care.Mr. "No Nothing" do you know what these players and I have in common??? You really don't have a clue do you? I'm waiting...........................

That's YOUR story, not mine. I was pointing out Harper & Strong played well. The Molton spin is your own.
And since you don't have Pippins number, and failed to answer my question about it, I'll just assume you lied about the PFF tweet excluding seniors.
If I had the power this thread would go 'poof'
boiling it down it's 4 pages about a coach who is now elsewhere and a player who's eligibility has expired
please

None of this matters. No stats, no press clippings, nothing. It's time to be a pro. Go out and win a roster spot. Right?
I found a great feature where you can ignore threads you don't want to see anymore.
From the main forum page, where you see the Marcellus Pippins Tropical Bowl Highlights hyperlink? Don't click that.
Saves a ton of time. You're welcome.
Dude.......you really need to relax. As an FYI, we as college football fans are selfish. At the end of the day, all we want is a team that is as good as they can be. We don't have a grudge against Pippins and we don't believe that Grinch kept him on the sidelines all the time just because he hated the kid. Grinch is in it for the money and I guarantee that he felt that he had good reasons to play Pippins less. We don't know what they are, or how valid others might consider them, but you calling us all a bunch of haters just reflects poorly on you. Pippins needs to look at the past two seasons and reflect more on what he could have done differently. I hope he doesn't act like you do about it because going through life blaming other people is the quickest way to never realize your potential.
Geezus when are you guys gonna quit posting and extending this ridiculous thread? It is beyond annoying. Yeah I don't have to click on it, but just... can't.... stop.... my mouse.
I think it's pretty clear at this point it's not about pippins at all, it's about this dude needing to thump his chest about all the great players he "coached". I'm sure all these players text him and call him daily to tell him how greatful they are of his guidance and incredible coaching...which is why he's hanging out here on a forum for a team he doesn't support talking about a player who has already graduated
yeah - and a coach who we don't care about because he no longer works for us

Dude...seriously. You coach TEN YEAR olds and you're coming in here with all your football coaching prowess?!?
That's a rough age group and kudos for some high level baby-sitting/keeping kids focused on the snap count instead of watching butterflies...but really?!?!
There are waaaay more guys in here with far greater pedigrees in coaching various sports than a 10 year old team.
I feel violated.
How dare you. CJ Anderson was a nobody at 9 years old. This guy MADE him.
holy shit. we're arguing with a pop warner coach? Like, a REAL pop warner coach? evaluating 9 year olds since Christ was knee high to a grasshopper?
Let me bask in all the football knowledge glory.
By the way, my kid's 10 and I'm pretty sure he's going to be the next Brady. After all, I coached HS track, so my credentials precede me... Oh, and if he doesn't success, its because the coach is a moron and has a vendetta against a child.

You keep going at this as if a lot of Coug fans are "hating" on Pippins. That's not the case -- what you're perceiving as shots against Pippins are fans response to your infatuation with Pippins and dislike for Grinch. Your hate for Grinch though comes thru loud and clear and none of us are buying into that level of frustration. Like every coach, he's got his strengths and weaknesses (I liked his work as a DC and was disappointed in his work with the DBs). We also tend to judge Grinch by his overall body of work (which was a positive for us) and not his handling of 1 player (which you're doing). Give it a rest and move on -- all you're doing at this point is negatively coloring people's memory of Pippins. It was a pleasure to watch Marcellus in his time at Wazzu and I wish him the best of luck as he takes his shot with the NFL.
What is it you want? Do you want the fan base to rise up and fire Grinch? Oh, what he does not work at WSU and more. He is at Ohio State University. Also, Pippins was alternated every other series, so how much damage was actually done? Pippins is getting looked at by the NFL. We all wish him well. The better his career the better WSU looks. Again, if you are trying to make a difference, you need to be on the Ohio State University site affecting their recruiting not ours. Thank you for your understanding.

I don't know Marcellus Pippins - but I can GUARANTEE you he would be extremely embarrassed by your continued nonsense, especially if he knows you- though something tells me he'd probably have to jog his memory to remember you. All of this crap isn't about MP, it's about you and your need for validation. 99% of the people here liked Pippins as a player and a model student-athlete, appreciated his contributions to WSU, and wish him success in the NFL. If you have further complaints, might I suggest a letter to:
Alex Grinch
Woody Hayes Athletic Center, 535 Irving Schottenstein Dr
Columbus, Ohio 43210
Maybe I did post it.
In fact, yea, I'm pretty sure I did. Almost certain, now that think about it. Big thread too. Lots of responses.
It was great. You would've loved it.
You can find it. Just have to scroll through the last year or so of posts.
Whose nutz are you going to swing from next now that Pippins is gone?

Ugg...Trips if you are the defender of fair there is a mother of a kid whose daughter is on JV here in the state of Washington. She thinks her 6'1" daughter should be on varsity. She is by far the tallest kid in the program. Her AAU coach says she is getting looks from small schools and that she start on varsity.
Being the champ of fairness you will be busy. Every kid who doesn't start or play will have a complaint.
Life isn't fair. Look at our president. When is a rich white guy born into wealth gonna get a fair shake. Listen to him and see how unfair he has been treated.
I don't need to make light of what happened. First, I will say something happened. For MP not to start on senior day that was a big FU from Grinch.
Second, I am not at practice. You can show me all the stats you want. But stats for any sport don't tell the story. The film doesn't lie. My kid the other night went 4-5 from the 3 point line against the number two team in the state (By some bogus RPI rating I might add) and people were praising her for her 12 points. Holy cow, that wasn't the story at all. She took away their PG, who is suppose to be one of the better players in the state to the point where they had another kid bring up the ball.
The stats don't show that. They don't show her deflections, her help defense, nor the game became a 4 on 4 game.
Without tape most don't see that. Without tape I can't tell you what MP did right or wrong in the game. Let's say for discussion sake he had three pass break ups, total of 7 targets, one pick and 3 completions for 50 yards and the other team didn't score on him.
Without the tape I don't know if he lined up correctly, was in the wrong defense that led Thompson to get beat, or if he was worthless in run support. Nor do I know how hard did he practice.
Finally with respect to the senior game, your anger is in the wrong spot. Leach runs the program. He could have told Grinch all seniors start. He didn't. The buck starts and stops with him. The complaint truly should be with leach. He hired Grinch, he has final say in all matters.
Let me throw this out to you. It was Charles White who Mouton and MP beat out. Was that FAIR? They moved White to safety and to my surprise that didn't work out. I firmly suspected White would have been an All Pac 12 safety.
Last thought...it is fair to the program if Strong and MP were fairly close in talent, and that whether one or the other played all the snaps the team was still 9-4, is it fair to the program that Strong doesn't play so he doesn't have game action for the future?
One reason strong played at the expense of MP cause MP was disposable in terms of the long term future of the program.
Sports isn't fair, nor is life. Best thing MP can do is what Michael Jordan did after he got cut his sophomore year...and that is making the guy who cut him look like the biggest fool ever known to mankind.
"The Cougars return starting defensive backs Marcellus Pippins and Robert Taylor..."
Wow, that is high praise from the ASU 247 writer 8 months ago.
Why is Trips changing his username between 3 different accounts? Weird, paranoid individual.... Are you worried you will be banned? Everyone here loves Pippens. Grinch is gone, let Pippens go. He’s a great Coug, who had a great WSU career. Good Luck to him on his next adventure.
He's talking about this link that shows Pippins as the PFF 2nd best Pac12 cornerback for Passer rating against in 2016. He didn't like PFF then but swears by their stats in 2017 when Pippins was being screwed around by this clowns daddy Grinch. This is what you call a hypocrite at the highest level. This Fab5Cockwasher poster has been a Grinch ball washer from day one. His hatred for Pippins is well documented. Take a
Looks like I took you about as seriously then as I do now.
Trips....you just told us who you are. You now doubled down on your anger. Why do you feel it is ok to make such a slur? Cause MP got screwed like the guy he took over for in 2014 and 2015?
I get the anger, I don't understand the bigotry...and you being ok with it.
