2010 College Football thread

[SP1!]

Boise State is one of my top three favorite college football teams. So I was happy with them winning today. It was a sloppy game if you look at the penalties, but I was on the edge of my seat during it.

Top 3? Did you just start watching college football 9-10 years ago?

[keithy_19]

Top 3? Did you just start watching college football 9-10 years ago?

I'm 22 and to be honest my memory is all out of wack. But my top 3 would be Rutgers, Boise, and Penn State.

[sailor]

If I was Beamer I'd have that fucker that ran into the punter and then got the penalty packing his bags before the 3rd quarter.

If you guys remember last year the Boise St AD was telling anybody that'd listen that he tried to schedule games w/ big teams and they told him no. But when he was pressed for names and schools he couldn't come up with any.

I made a point last year that the " scared to play us " bit made no sense when you had a USC team travel to Oh St and play in front of 100K+ people.

Would USC rather play that team, in that atmosphere, or play Boise St in LA ?

I think we all know the answer.

Now look at this year's non-conference games ( FSU/Oklahoma, Penn St/Alabama, Miami/Oh St, LSU/UNC, etc ... ) and tell me if BCS teams are scared of Boise St.

Did you guys catch that stat that Va Tech is 0-21 against top 5 teams away from home ?

Pretty crazy.

of course they're scared to play them. going and losing to a tough ohio state team is acceptable. going and losing to a tough boise state would be an embarrassment. it's not saying the boise state game is tougher, just it has less reward and way more risk involved.

and boise state is still a small program, their football budget is only 7.2 million, from what i've read. i don't know what it is at big schools, but it has to be way more if they can afford to pay the likes of rich rodriguez 2.5 mill.

Again they arent scared but nobody wants to pay BSU the $900,000 they want for the game, why ask for money if they feel they can win?

[cougarjake13]

looking at the rest of boise states schedule even if they run the table is it going to be good enough to put them in title game ?? or will they have no choice because they were ranked so high to start with and regardless of sched still went undefeated and have to be in ??

[JimBeam]

These same arguments were made about Marshall in the early/mid 90's.

Then the BCS teams started playing them, beating them regularly, and it became a non-issue.

So should a program, to SP's point, schedule a game that'll cost them money or should they do a home/home series against a team that'll give them a lot more revenue and a boost in the BCS rankings ( or a loss if that happens ).

There's more risk playing an Oh St than there is playing a Boise St because while a loss to a BSS team isn't as embarassing as a loss to a non-BCS team it weights on voters minds as a BCS v BCS game is a truer comparison of which program is better.

An LSU loss to UNC would've been considered worse than a loss to Boise St ( hypothetically scheduled ) since one would've been ranked and the other wouldn't have been.

A loss to an unranked team is always a bad mark on your record.

You can't argue that BCS teams are " scared " of playing non-BCS teams yet play games against perenial BCS bowl game teams that most anybody would consider more difficult to win.

[JimBeam]

Strength of schedule will be huge.

If the WAC continues to blow as it has every year that'll be more of a blow to Boise St than a win against Va Tech is a positive ( that's again assuming that Va Tech finishes as a quality opponent because if they don't Boise St is really screwed ).

Boise St needs Va Tech to win out, needs their other opponents and opponents opponents to have good records in order to unseat any BCS league teams ( providing there are more than 1 undefeated teams ).

[joeyballsack]

Just get a playoff system and these debates all go away.

I hope Boise State wins it all this year and it spurs who ever is in charge to get rid of this mythical National Championship.

[sailor]

You can't argue that BCS teams are " scared " of playing non-BCS teams yet play games against perenial BCS bowl game teams that most anybody would consider more difficult to win.

again, a loss to a semi-decent mid-major is much worse than a loss to a bcs bowl team. it's the whole risk/reward thing. if your one loss is to an ohio state it can (somewhat) easily be overcome.

no one is saying the boise state game is tougher to win, which seems to be your point at the end.

i don't think a payoff fixes it either, it just changes the debate to which teams are included. even so, i wish they'd move to a playoff so we can quit hearing about it as some sort of savior.

[ozzie]

Full slate of games today and no one posted? Ugh.

Sorry, got back in town late Sunday night, and been playing catch-up ever since.

Quick vid my chick took of the AU team taking the field for the first time in 2010 last Saturday night.

(please excuse the screaming in the background, but our section was a little pumped)

Welcome to SEC football...

(and this was only against Arkansas State. Wait until LSU comes to town!)

[JimBeam]

again, a loss to a semi-decent mid-major is much worse than a loss to a bcs bowl team.

But a win against a BCS team is so much more valuable. Take note of any boosts a team gets when it wins a conference title game at the end of the season.

Just get a playoff system and these debates all go away.

To that, this :

i don't think a payoff fixes it either, it just changes the debate to which teams are included.

People will still complain.

I hope Boise State wins it all this year and it spurs who ever is in charge to get rid of this mythical National Championship.

Simply will not happen.

Unless the BCS conferences churn out several 2 loss teams they probably won't even get into the game.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Put Coley White in please...

there's a kid from Neptune playing for Marshall?

[Tenbatsuzen]

good god.

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR ANOTHER PLANE CRASH? jesus.

[Tenbatsuzen]

scuse me, gonna go puke now

[Snoogans]

West Virginia sucks

[JimBeam]

That fumble gives you some life Tenbats.

Nice job Marshall of screwing up the nail in the coffin.

Marshall used to be the old non-BCS conference darling and hasn't won a game against a ranked team since 2003.

[Tenbatsuzen]

West Virginia sucks

Indeed. All the short comings that people have screamed about re: Bill Stewart are now coming to light.

PUT COLEY IN GODDAMN IT

[TheGameHHH]

West Virginia sucks

I said they looked like dogshit last weekend, and that was in a 31-0 win.

With that said, Marshall is pretty much trying to give this game away

[TheGameHHH]

I'm pretty sure both annoucers are getting a boner every time they say the words "Doc Holliday"

[JimBeam]

Does WVU recruit any white QB's ?

Seems like I can't remember one since Marc Bulger.

[JimBeam]

I'm pretty sure both annoucers are getting a boner every time they say the words "Doc Holliday"

That could be the most tired, corny name anywhere.

If you're a pitcher that wins a shitload of games I'm OK w/ yuou having the name but a coach for Marshall ?

Not so much.

Bill King from Rivals radio calls him that and I respect that dude but it gives me douche chills.

[TheGameHHH]

OT bitches

[Kevin]

Can Doc Halladay find bigger headsets?

Those are HUGE.

[JimBeam]

Marshall sucks a dick.

That's why they haven't beaten a ranked team in 7 years.

[TheGameHHH]

what a bedshitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tenbatsuzen]

gah. wow.

Did WVU even use a timeout during that drive?!

[Tenbatsuzen]

I dont see VT winning out, how they got ranked 10 is beyond me since they looked like shit last year and only stayed in games because of their defense, which had half of them leave last year. So 10 is a stretch, I fully expect VT to end up with 3-4 losses and 3rd or 4th in the ACC, and if that happens BSU's SOS drops drastically then it will give them no shot at the NC game. Hell BSU should drop in the BCS since their SOS is like 60ish or lower after all the 100 SOS teams they play, basically what you have to imagine is, what if florida, uga, bama all played their cupcakes every week except 2. They would never be ranked that high.

West Virginia sucks
They really made the conference look bad even in a win, that coach should be fired.

[Tenbatsuzen]

They really made the conference look bad even in a win, that coach should be fired.

Although he probably will be unless WVU wins the conference, you can't fire a coach when players can't hold on to the fucking ball.

[JimBeam]

Is it just me or does it seem to the rest of you that they've been trying to, want to give Terrell Pryor the Heisman every year ?

By " they " I mean some of the mainstream/bandwagon announcers.

The guy really hasn't done anything that makes him standout yet for the last few years, at the start of the season, some people talk about him as the front runner.

[SP1!]

Yeah they have for almost every year so far and hes underwhelmed me every single time I see him play, that kid from michigan looks good though, now if they can just get him some receivers or time to throw the ball.

[SP1!]

Everybody is saying south carolina will win today, makes me feel better about their chances since most of those guys are wrong.

[SP1!]

Well that is as long as we hold on to the ball and our defense quits with the arm tackles while the guy is standing up, I thought the new coach fixed that shit.

[Snoogans]

Well that is as long as we hold on to the ball and our defense quits with the arm tackles while the guy is standing up, I thought the new coach fixed that shit.

Well Boise St got a nice shit burger to eat today w/ Va Tech's loss to James Madison.

That SOS just plummeted a little further and they're not even into WAC play yet.

The only good news for them is the ACC looks like it's gonna suck ( GA Tech lost to Kansas and FSU getting beaten up by Oklahoma ) so that could knock them out of any contention for a BCS title spot.

[Ritalin]

The sideline reporter for NBC at the ND game is taller than Brian Kelly. Deeper voice, too.

Ah. I thought that name sounded familiar. I remember you talking him up when they recruited him.


If Tennessee can hang on, this would be a huge win for Dooley. Everyone down here was writing them off after Kiffen ran out on them. They look Very well coached on both sides of the ball.

CBS has to be rooting hard for the Vols to win. UT/UF is their season opener next week, and a big win over Oregon makes that game suddenly interesting.

It's 11:00 p.m., and according to weather.com, it's CURRENTLY 83º in Miami ("feels like" 93º), still with 82% humidity.

I don't know what it was at kickoff, 3 hours ago, but are you saying these are the conditions Rutgers has been practicing in?

I live on the Gulf coast, and was out coaching the boys at their opening game today, and the weather was absolutely oppressive. We were sweating through our shirts just walking to the field at 8:00 in the morning. Unlike any conditions I ever had to play in while in northeast Ohio. I assumed NJ was a similar climate?

I know it's a cliché, but the fucking humidity down here is unreal, especially to play football in.

We were sweating through our shirts just walking to the field at 8:00 in the morning. Unlike any conditions I ever had to play in while in northeast Ohio. I assumed NJ was a similar climate?

I know it's a cliché, but the fucking humidity down here is unreal, especially to play football in.
No, NJ is not like Ohio. Its on the ocean, so in the summer, its alot like the south. A majority of Rutgers camp was in 85-90 heat with 90% humidity. NJ climate in July and August is alot like floridas in late august september. its just the winter where it gets different. Summer its usually just as bad. Its the jet stream, it holds all that cool dry shit over the midwest and pulls all that florida shit up the coast. Even boston in the middle of august gets oppresive humity. its pretty rough

what he said. and boston must just be the worst with their shitty summer and worse winter.

and yeah, it hit 91 within the last week or two here.

FIU HC looks like Vinny from Jersey Shore, 25yrs in the future.

I wonder if he too is a 3rd wheel, momma's boy jerkoff that agrees w/ everybody else just so he can fit in.

[JimBeam]

The tension between Lou Holtz and Mark May makes them almost unwatchable now.

I know that Holtz can be ahuge homer for the teams that he's coached, especially ND, but it's like May HAS to disagree w/ him on everything no matter how minor the point.

I could don't care for either of those 2 guys but I like Reece Davis and that's why I watch that show.

The thing is, I can't blame May in the slightest. That lisping old fart is terrible, and should not be on TV.

[ozzie]

What's the question ?

Was wondering how Spoon missed your comment about the Va Tech loss.

[ozzie]

it hit 91 within the last week or two here.

Ok, but the high might have been BELOW 91 maybe once within the last month down here. It starts getting into the 90's in April, and doesn't stop until October.

Look, I'm not saying that the Rutgers guys have never experienced heat and humidity before, but these south Florida kids grow up in this, and every spring and summer conditioning program they've had, from pop warner ball to current, is always played in this sauna.

Can you play football in this shit? Obviously, yes. It CAN be done. There are youth and HS teams down here playing in it every week beginning in August, and they don't know anything else.

My only question was... why would you want to?

It was a non-conference game. You're Rutgers. They're a Sun Belt conference team. I just think it was a mistake to schedule a trip to Miami this early in the season.

This had the makings of a "trap game" all along. This was FIU's opener. They'd been preparing for this game all off season.

That was a FIU team that went 3 - 9 last year, and those 3 wins were against some of the worst teams in the country. This game was a lot closer than it should have been.

5 turnovers and 14 penalties for 126 yards by FIU, and Rutgers still couldn't put this team away.

Total Yards: Rutgers - 172, FIU - 371. That's pretty telling.

I don't think it would have been this close in Piscataway, or if the game had been played on October 16th (when Rutgers plays Army).

But Holtz sucks. May disagrees with him on everything because Holtz is wrong on everything. Should May agree with him just to make good tv or to make you like watching it better? I cant watch their show because I cant listen to Holtz talk about shitty ND and I cant listen to that lisp. I have always disliked him mainly because I have always despised ND and I dont understand how a grown man doesnt learn how to fix that lisp!

[JimBeam]

The thing is, I can't blame May in the slightest. That lisping old fart is terrible, and should not be on TV.

You raise a good point as at times I think even he doesn't know what he's saying.

But May's attitude is so hated filled it would seem. I can bet those 2 do not talk at all when they are not on the air.

Yesterday Holtz was making a " point " that ND will be better after what Robinson did to them yesterday. He even said that Robinson will do that same thing to other teams.

What I took it to mean, and what think he meant, was that they shouldn't be ashamed because the guy was that good and will probably that good in more games this year.

But of course May jumps all over it thinking that Holtz was defending ND's game but I din't think that was the case.

Leads me to this :

In it, Rece Davis calls out Heisman talk for Robinson of Michigan after game fucking one against a shitty fucking team to say the least.

I know I wrote earlier that I hated all the Pryor talk concerning the Heisman but that's because he's never really done anything.

Now that game by Robinson yesterday was a great game.

Sure it's early in the season but somebody has to be talked about for the award so why not a guy that had 2 great games against nationally high profile teams ?

He's run the ball 57 times for 455 yards and 3 TDs w/o a fumble and has thrown the ball 62 times w/o an INT.

He's been as dominant as you could be in his team's wins.

The kid could fall flat on his face the rest of the year but as I see it he's had the best season so far.

[JimBeam]

I missed this in yesterday's game and on the highlight shows :

It's things like this that make you want the refs to enforce celebration penalties.

A few things. Overall, I agree with you. Although Rutgers played home vs norfolk state last week and didnt exactly look sharp on offense. I really wish Tom Savage would remember that he wasnt a pussy last year.

As far as the weather, NJ gets bad humidity from june to september basically. Its not always 90 degrees, but its almost always humid. Rutgers also has like 19 kids on the roster who are from Florida, and ironically, the 2 kids on rutgers who went down with cramps are both from Florida. The weather isnt much different in NJ, it just doesnt last as long. But the time that rutgers is in camp, its always hot and humid. It was like 94 degrees at the start of last weeks game in Piscataway

College Game Day is coming to Auburn this week.

This is usually GREAT when they play in the early afternoon. Fans are already on campus and fired up.

BUT... the Clemson game doesn't start until 6:00 (7:00 eastern). They've been constantly building on campus since I left there years ago, and there are less and less places to park and tailgate on campus.

I'm worried about the turnout for this one. The Fraternities and Sororities always make their pledges show up there on time with signs, but I'm just not sure how many others will be willing to walk to the location, and stand out in the heat for hours that morning, knowing the game won't be until 7 hours later.

Forecast high for Saturday is 93º.

[JimBeam]

I was taking a look at James Madison's schedule and since 2007 it seems like they've been opening their season w/ a game against an ACC team.

They haven't done badly.

Losses to Duke ( well I guess that's bad ) and NC but they played Maryland tough last year losing 88-35 in OT.

They play at least 2 other teams ( UMass and New Hampshire ) in their league that have played/will play BCS league teams.

If JMU loses any of those games it'll hurt Boise St even more through an opponents opponents kinda thing I'd think.

Yeah they went for the 53 point coversion to make sure it was out of reach.

Actually they had to start outside of the stadium.

Reminds me of a play you could run in the old 1st & 10 on the original NES where you'd have your QB on the opponets 1, drop back to your own 1, and then complete the pass for a TD.

In that game you could barely complete 10 yard passes but for some reason 99 yarders were OK.

As I recall, we probably should have lost that game. I think they either missed an FG late, or we had to hit one to win the game.

Hey! We've already equaled last season's win total of two! Hooray!!

Going on our first true road game Saturday in Morgantown. I don't think that's going to end very well.

[Snoogans]

this is why Pat Forde rules: (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=5570708)

James Madison surely would not approve of what James Madison (2) has done to The Dash's Boise State bus (3). The namesake university of the Constitution's primary architect shocked Virginia Tech (4) on Saturday, pouring sugar into the bus' gas tank just when we were getting up to highway speed.
A nation of football snobs eager to dismiss the Broncos was handed a fresh arsenal of material. But while The Dash must acknowledge the damage to Boise's body of work -- and must move the Broncos out of the No. 1 spot in the ESPN.com power rankings -- this is no time to get off the bus. Consider two mitigating circumstances behind that Hindenburg in Blacksburg performance by Virginia Tech:

• The Boise State-Virginia Tech game on Labor Day night was a fairly ferocious battle. Players on both sides were dropping by game's end due to cramps, exhaustion and high-impact hitting. Nobody wants to think of Boise as a physical team -- not when it's far easier to rely on the trick-play cutesy team stereotype -- but the Hokies had to be a sore bunch last week. The Broncos undoubtedly were, too.

• Only an idiot schedules a game five days after a huge season opener. That would be Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver, though he certainly didn't OK this game without approval from coach Frank Beamer (5). Which makes them both idiots. If you want historical precedent, look all the way back to last year. Colorado lost on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to rival Colorado State, then turned around and traveled to Toledo for a Friday night game. Result: a 54-38 humiliation that all but ruined the Buffaloes' season. Or there's Florida State, which lost a 38-34 thriller on Labor Day '09 to Miami, then five days later trailed Jacksonville State 9-7 with less than a minute to play before pulling out the victory.


fuckin awesome

[JimBeam]

My issue with Forde was from last week's column :

The Dash picked Boise State (2) No. 1 all the way back in January and kept the Broncos there heading into this season. The reaction from a nation that ostensibly loves the underdog?

Upper-crust backlash.

Snobs snarled. Change is clearly uncomfortable for the Old Boy Network, and for fans who don't want to even consider interlopers from outside their precious power conferences.

No way Boise could handle being in a big-boy league, they declared. No way they'd even finish in the top half of the SEC or Big 12 or Big Ten, they sniffed. And no way they can beat Virginia Tech (3), they insisted.

Now?

Now it's time for The Establishment to acknowledge the Broncos, after their steely rally for the winning score in a thrilling 33-30 victory over the Hokies on Monday night.

Based on what he's saying in the latest column it seems like he now knows Boise St is all but finished.


I was listening to some college sport shows yesterday and they had Tim Brando on and if there's a well known media guy who despises the BCS it's him.

It bothered be that he kept referring to the teams most expect to compete and be eligible for the title game as " the establishment ".

It makes it seem like he's just pro small school and/or so anti-BCS and not for the best team playing for and winning the title.

i take it more as they are pro shake up. Most people want a playoff and so they are rooting for what they think will get them there fastest. I dont think they give a fuck if it was boise or Rutgers or any other school that isnt really "supposed" to be there. People just want an end to the current system

[JimBeam]

A caller on that show brought up an interesting point.

He said that if Boise St or TCU made it in this year, regardless of whether or not they won, the BCS folks would say that it was a success and it'd be continued.

He argued that only if you had something like Alabama v Ohio St in a BCS title game with both Texas and Oregon St going undefeated would it cause a comotion.

Meaning that you'd now have big dogs being left out of the party.

Obviously we've had a big dog left out here and there but never 2 of them.

he is right. Boise and TCU gettin BCS games is actually bad for playoff prospects. I didnt say the anti establishment were right, just what they think they are doing is helping

[JimBeam]

Another minor point people are missing, especially SEC fans, is that Ole Miss' loss to Jacksonville St could hurt Alabama or any other team from the SEC West or that played Ole Miss.

Say Oklahoma wins out and Bama loses to LSU but wins every other game, including the SEC title game, and Oh St loses to a Michigan team that has 1 or 2 losses.

It could be Oh St that gets the bump since they don't have the loss to an FCS team attache to their record.

Snoog, I love ya but you cannot compare weather up in NJ to the shit in florida, I was born there and spent many summers there then worked up in the NE down to jersey/philly area in my 20s. Its hot but nothing like in the south where it feels like a blanket is thrown on you the second you leave the house and start the sweat rolling.

I had a friends BF come with her from colorado who thought he was all bad because of his altitude adjustment, we took him up to the mountains to do some hiking/rafting, in less than 30 mins he was huffing really hard and sweating buckets. He couldnt get his skinny ass adjusted to the humid southern summer, he didnt say shit after that.

Its hot up there but god seemed to punish us for our nice fall/winter by making summer a preview of hell.

I think that is a more accurate assessment of what will blow up the BCS over the mid major team not getting in, let a few big name teams not get in or even considered for the NC and then they will start screaming. It already happened once with auburn, let it happen a few more times and the BCS will go bye-bye and we will get at least a +1 game.

l.

that wasnt what i was sayin. What I said was for July and August, we have alot of times where the weather is like that. The time Rutgers was in camp, it was humid every day, over 90%, and most days over 90. Had a couple weeks of 100 with 90% humidity. Its not like the south where its every day, but the point was we get that, so they kids train in it, so they are used to playing in it. Plus Rutgers has like 15 kids from Florida. My point was that it wasnt really a factor, iut was Rutgers themselves blowing

[ozzie]

So, how long until auburn blows it? Is chizik the real deal or just mirrors right now?

Chiz has proven so far to be a good administrator, a good recruiter, and put together a helluva staff. He runs a clean program. He seems to love Auburn, and is keeping up the traditions, and the players seem to like him. I'm running out of good things to say.

AU blew 14 point leads to Kentucky, Georgia and Alabama last year, and almost did it again against Miss State last Thursday (only a 10 pt lead this time).

Last year he could blame it on lack of depth on D (they had as few as 3 healthy scholarship linebackers playing for most of the year). Their LB's played every single snap in some of those games.

This year they have more depth on D at all positions, but it's all very young players. They have the luxury of putting in fresh bodies, but they're making a lot of mistakes, and seem to be out of position frequently.

AU's leading tackler last year was Bates at safety, and now he's starting at LB, so they're basically in a nickel D for most of the game. They'll give up yards to power running teams, but I guess the plan is to limit big plays.

They came out very conservative against ASU, and didn't show a lot more against MSU. Just enough to barely hold on to win. Hell, they didn't blitz until the 4th quarter, and I only remember the ONE time... so maybe there's hope that they've been holding back?

I just worry that he's playing each game too conservatively. They've got some weapons on offense now, but it's seems like Chiz was pumping the brakes on the ol Gus bus against State.

He just seems to lack that "killer instinct" to deliver the knock out blow once he's got the opposition on the ropes and it's cost him in the past.

IMO, they should be able to outscore Clemson enough this week to come away with the W.

South Carolina comes up next, and obviously you know all about Marcus Lattimore and that running game. AU should get Stevens back at LB, which might give them enough to keep them in check, but we'll see.

If you knew what they were running... why weren't you able to stop it?

[JimBeam]

"I kind of took it more as a shot at the NFL," said Grantham, who coached in the league for 11 seasons. "I really wasn't sure if it was because of his lack of success there or what."

I like how he, an ASSISTANT, in college, and a former ASSISTANT in the NFL is trying to mock a HEAD coach ( at both levels ) with a national championship and a Heisman Trophy.

He's back in college so I'm guessing he wasn't so good in the pros either.

Killer instinct bugs me about richt, when he has a team down he seems to let off the gas in the early going and not until late in the game when its clearly in hand, the only game I know he didnt was the hawaii sugar bowl a few years back.

That goes back to tackling, some of our guys have this ingrained willie martinez style where you stand a guy up and try to strip the ball, I saw it most of the first half and then it got a little better. They need to improve quite a bit before Im sold these guys can cut it though, even so next year should make for a hell of a game. That is if spurrier is still there since SC may get probation in the probe.

Yeah, he was there when the SEC was down and failed miserably at the NFL, I still love how spurrier has a bug up his ass since UGA kept him from playing for UF's first NC when he won the heisman. Its amazing how much shit spurrier talks yet hasnt beat them since hes at SC now, one of his quotes was "whats the big deal, we just beat georgia" Yeah visor man, we know you hate us, they kept you from winning your NC as a player so pull the dog bone out of your ass and realize you will never win much more than a few games at SC before they collapse year after year.

The SEC was down when they won 3 of 7 national titles ? What are you talking about ?

Go ahead and do that thing where you dislike a guy and then rationalize that because of that he wasn't good.

The guy won at Duke, made Florida relevant in a state owned by FSU and Miami and has had limited success at South Carolina were nobody has been great.

So he failed at the NFL level, both as a player and a coach, but how many other guys do that as well ?

And of those that do fail how many were successful, to Spurrier's level, at the prior level.

These quotes are coming from a guy that's an assistant to a guy that's never won anything. So if you're 2nd fiddle to an also ran what does that make you ?

[ozzie]

I wonder if Charles Barkley still thinks that Auburn should have hired Turner Gill?

Sure, they beat an overrated Ga Tech team last week (#15? Really?), but watching them tonight, I understand a little better about how the lost their opener at home to North Dakota State.

I don't wish anything bad for TG, I just wish Barkley and ESPN would stop accusing Auburn of not hiring him because of his skin color, and realize that maybe they actually knew that Chizik was a better head coach.

He won in the SEC mainly when bama got smacked, LSU was average, auburn was hit or miss, and UGA had goff/donnan. UT was their only challenge most years.

Two winning seasons in 3 makes duke a success? You do realize in their one bowl birth under him they were smoked, right? And at the time FSU and miami didnt own the state of florida, they still got a lot of recruits in the state, miami attracted a lot of NE players as well.

Spurrier has been good at college but I think thats about to end, especially if the NCAA smacks them for businessmen in rock hill paying the players. Yeah Im a little bitter they suspended AJ for 4 games and the bama player for 2 yet he received more cash and went to an agents house while AJ's was for selling it to a supposed agent finder. Its bullshit and I just hate spurrier, he acts like it doesnt mean anything but he still has a bug up his ass for UGA kicking him out of the title game when he was playing.

THIS is the type of Auburn story I hope Gameday will focus on tomorrow morning (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/football/ncaa/wires/09/16/2060.ap.fbc.t25.auburn.signee.cancer.1st.ld.writet hru.0827/)
You mean they cant run cam's arrest record?

Two winning seasons in 3 makes duke a success?

When nobdy's come close to doing that of course it's a success.

Your logic is still flawed.

Spurrier was the best in the conference in and around when Bama ( '92 ), UF ( '96 ) and UT ( '98 ) won titles so however you want to warp the prestige of the league it was obvioulsy strong enough to produce 3 of the best teams in a given year.

Alabama didn't start tanking until the late 90's. I believe they lost only 2 games ( 1 to UF ) the year after going 13-0.

He also played FSU every year when that was a program finishing in the top 5 for 12 years or so.

Let's not forget he also went to an Orange Bowl w/ a chance for another title and get beat up by Nebraska.

I guess him getting beat up in a title game is a mark on his record.

One of those things were it's better to have not gone at all than to have lost like that I'm sure you'll argue.

[Tenbatsuzen]

MUDO! Where are ya, Mudo!?!?

Holy shit, is MD that bad or did someone just tell WVU to wake the fuck up?

[Tenbatsuzen]

For those of you not watching, Mountaineer Field is LOUD. West Virginia scored a TD on first possession in less than 3 mins, and then induced three delay of game penalties in a row on MD.

[Tenbatsuzen]

14-0 Mountaineers, 8:00 left in the 1st, the WVU offense is just slicing through MD.

You mean they cant run cam's arrest record?

Of course they did. But at least they added the fact that the charges were eventually dropped, and that he wasn't kicked off the team. Amazing how many people don't read that far into the story.

Nothing on Shon except for a lot of signs held by the fans.

Just got back from the boys game. 95º out there today, and no shade to be found. Brutal.

Heard the Georgia score, but the only highlight I saw was a brief glimpse of the last pass by Mallett. Blown coverage? Missed tackle?

Saw that Ole Piss dropped another to f'ing Vanderbilt. Nutt might be in trouble over there.

Worse thing about having Gameday at Auburn is that I'll have to listen to Brent "YOU ARE WITNESSING THE GREATEST SPORTING EVENT OF ALL TIME BECAUSE I'M CALLING IT" Musberger. I'll be at a friend's place, so no chance of getting alternate audio for this one.

Not nearly as embarrassing as giving up 37 points to UMass.



Very good point...

I don't know if this is a trend but our local school, Mizzou, is charging PPV(40$) to watch the games. Pretty wack imo. I wonder if they break even or make a profit. For the shitty schools that they are charging ppv for the general admission tickets are about 15-40 bucks.

BTW Root for mizzou to kick colorados ass on the 9th cause I got tickets for my fam on that game. I still got horror memories from OKLst kicking our ass the year we were #1, HE WAS 40, FUCK HIM!.

Bama was on probation in 95 but had started tanking just after the NC win, FSU won quite a few of those games and were their only serious competition then since UT didnt get good until the late 90s and peyton had the rep for choking in the big games. Whats funny about the FSU games is that UF whined because they had to play them again in the sugar bowl. There were a few decent teams while he was there but lets not act like it is now with 3-4 good teams during the 2000s, I follow the SEC and freely admit the 90s were a down decade for the conference. I always say its better to play the game rather than never make it, that is just idiotic talk, but clearly he didnt have the competition they have to face today.

put on espn. this georgia arkansas game is really good

Charges were dropped against him because of lack of evidence not because he didnt do it, hell he threw the laptop out of his dorm after they were going to get permission to do a thorough search. He knew it was stolen, so either he did it or was with the person who stole it, you dont throw perfectly good computer equipment out the window. Unless that 10 year old kid kills you in COD again, then its acceptable. Oh here is some clarification articles, I forgot he was charged with intimidating a witness (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Watch-for-falling-objects-around-Cam-Newton-s-do?urn=ncaaf-124037), also the charges were only dropped after he completed first time offender status punishment (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/os-florida-gators-arrests-list-20100915,0,2266320.story?page=3)

Crappy games for UGA today, its obvious they have more serious issues than their defense, the players seem good but I feel the coaches are holding them back and it may be why a lot of coordinators turned richt down. Im starting to get the feeling its going to get a lot worse before it gets better and richt may be out the door if they finish .500 or worse this year. Amazing how it changes, in the 90s we would have killed for being competitive since the teams were awful, now if we arent ranked in the top 5 and win the SEC we are disappointed.

I foresee a long and miserable season for UGA unless richt loosens up and lets the players play.

[TheGameHHH]

Wow, hell of a call to end the Notre Dame game

So was the play clock at 00? I have seen replays that looks like the play was late.

at the time I posted that, Georgia had just scored to tie itYeah I know, just being bitter.

My new rule, dont have hope when we start to look good, it just makes the crash that much more painful, Im ready for richt to be fired if he doesnt demote bobo from Offensive coord this week, he is a horrible play caller.

Im starting to notice that Greg Schiano or whoever he has calling plays on offense is the same way. Rutgers had a bye this week and it sounds stupid to be rippin them at 2-0 but its been brutal. The line has been terrible and they havent been able to run and Savage hasnt been able to get into a rhythm. So lets not you know, come out in shotgun in the 1st couple drives and get him some time, hit a few slants and screens before tryin to get the run going. Lets just keep running twice and then making savage throw on 3rd and 8 from under center. I dont get it


Oh yea, Georgia. sorry

My new rule, dont have hope.

what a fuckin bunch of bums Auburn are

Wow not only does Auburn suck, but they are fucking stupid too.

At the end of the day it ends up that Alabama is only slightly less dumb than South Carolina. Talk about losing the battle and the war.

That first half was a total embarrassment. They looked ridiculous on both sides of the ball.

See what I meant about them being undersized and playing soft? I get it, Roof. No "home runs", right? Just keep giving up chunks of yards on long drives instead. Great plan.

Some nice halftime adjustments and putting a hurt on Parker saved their ass, but they were exposed on national tv for three quarters.

I don't know what Clemson's back-up QB situation is, but it's hard to believe that playing Parker hurt like that was their best option.

If they don't make some serious changes this week, South Carolina will come in and run all over this defense.

[ozzie]

Everyone knows he did it, but just in case someone didn't know that about him, ESPN will make sure that they bring it up again just to make sure.

That's not fair, Notre Dame sucks.

[SP1!]

Then why were you saying charges were dropped like he didnt do it? Hes not someone you should welcome to your team since its obviously a me attitude and a thief.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Jesus stikes back: MSU coach had a heart attack after the game last night.

I thought miss state first thing and didnt even put the jesus quip with it, god I need to watch more than SEC all weekend.

[keithy_19]

Nah, just root for good teams.

Like Boise State:wink:

[ozzie]

Then why were you saying charges were dropped like he didnt do it? Hes not someone you should welcome to your team since its obviously a me attitude and a thief.

Because the story is usually just about the arrest, and almost always implies that he was kicked off the team. They usually leave out any other details.

This happened under Urban Meyer's watch, and there's nothing to indicate that his punishment would have been anything more than suspension for the rest of that year. A year in which he hadn't played since the opener, and was eligible to take a medical redshirt anyway... oh, and they had this guy there named Tim Tebow or something like that, and at the time, it wasn't clear whether Tebow would opt to go pro... so Meyer was keeping his options open for the next year.

Like it or not, charges were later dropped after serving a sentence for community service and probation. This is not exactly uncommon for the first time offense of a nineteen year old kid.

In other words... he was sentenced, he completed his punishment and probationary period, and the case is closed. This part should be mentioned if they're going to cover the story. That's why I brought it up.

But... as you're proving... for some that sentence was not enough, and I guess will never be enough as long as he's still playing football for another team.

And the other actual charge was "intimidating a witness, informant or victim (the report does not clarify this point)". You read into this whatever you want, but I'm quite sure that the actual facts behind this charge were considered by the court, and were factored into his sentence.

Then Tebow makes his grand announcement that he's returning for his Senior year, and he decides to transfer to a CC. From all accounts, he was not forced off the team by Meyer or anyone at UF, and had nothing to do with his arrest. Just another QB with NFL hopes, opting to transfer for more playing time. But, the facts about this are rarely mentioned. It's usually implied that he was arrested, and Meyer kicked him off the team immediately.

And don't act like Auburn is the only school that would have welcomed him, or given him a second chance given all the facts and after meeting the kid. (After CC, he had official offers from Auburn, Arizona, Kansas State, Mississippi State, North Carolina and Oklahoma).

You may very well believe that this crime was so heinous that you think that his career should have ended that day... but, honestly, it's coming across like another spurned fan who lost a Georgia native (#2 player in the state, and #2 nationally at his position that year) to their arch rival Gators, and who's now at another school on their schedule.

[SP1!]

Actually after watching him almost choke up a game to a bad clemson team Im not really upset he didnt come here.

My point was that he did not and still refuses to admit he did anything wrong, hell even buying known stolen goods is wrong but all he says is that he made a stupid decision to throw it out the window after cops came.

I know plenty of teams would have welcomed him but most auburn fans around me like to rag on UGA for their player issues which most are drunk incidents and come on, if you have ever been to college your first year or two is pretty much an alcohol haze. Zack was the worst and he was kicked off after it came out he lied, even though his mother was a long time employee of the school.

I still hate that UT only kicked off one guy for beating a guy unconscious and beating another man in that bar brawl, then one incoming star freshman says he took the blame by doing community service but that doesnt mean hes guilty, only that he doesnt want to rat on other guys and get them in trouble. Thats a great message.

[El Mudo]

MUDO! Where are ya, Mudo!?!?

Holy shit, is MD that bad or did someone just tell WVU to wake the fuck up?


No, they're that bad. Seriously. Bad.

They'll win four games at the most this year. They beat Navy (on a miracle, and they should have been blown out), and they beat poopy Morgan State.

It won't shock me if they lose to FIU, but even if they win that, I can't see them winning another game. Maybe they knock off Virginia, maybe NC State? But that's pushing it.

[JimBeam]

So I heard the explanation from the Big East regarding the play clock situation in the Notre Dame game.

They said the back judge watches the clock and then when it hits zero he looks down to see if the balls been snapped.

They deemed that the ball was snapped within an acceptable time between clock expiration and actual snap. There was an actual phrase that I can't remember that makes it sound even more ridiculous.

You're talking about a split second.

How the hell could that be described an " acceptable time " ?

Not excusing ND for falling for that foolishness but it seems like the officiating might've been shoddy.

Boise St is loving the Texas loss to UCLA.

I think Texas could still upset Oklahoma, who hasn't looked great other than against a possibly overrated FSU team, and that'd kind nullify the Big 12 a bit providing Nebraska doesn't stay hot.

They keep talking about how strong his arm is but he hasn't made a decent pass yet.

that was a fuckin cheapshot on James Rogers. That DB lowered his head and fuckin speared the side of Rogers head. The NFL that would cost him a ton. I think they should throw guys out of the game when they do that

I'm sure he's using this job as a stepping stone.

Doug Gotlieb and Trevor Madidge ( sp ?? ) were in a heated discussion today on Gameday on Sirius about Boise St's worthiness of a title shot.

Gotlieb was saying that Boise St was getting too much credit for things they did in prior years and pointed to a win against TCU last year and the win against Oklahoma 4 years ago.

Madige was like " what's wrong with that ? ". It's Madidge's kinda thinking that helps muddy up the BCS pictures.

Gotlied argued the obvious point that Boise St could not have played Alabama's schedule last season and have come close to being undefeated. So Madidge countered that Alabama couldn't have done any better than Boise St did which was win all their games. He approaches it like winning 13 games is winning 13 games w/o taking into account the teams played.

And many point to the wins that Boise St had against Oklahoma and TCU last year and conveniently forget their losses to TCU in 2008 and to East Carolina in 2007.

I believe this win tonight will only make Boise St 8-7 against BCS league teams in the last 10 years.

Correct, although give Mississippi State some credit. Not a bad defensive football team, and if they can get any kind of QB play, they can be trouble.

Next 4 for UGA are @ Colorado, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and @ Kentucky.

All should be winable games, but we'll see what kind of heart this team has.

It aint easy being an AU fan with Chizik at the helm.

Proud to see them hold Lattimore (33 yards) and the USCe running game in check (79 total rushing), but the cost was a lot of man coverage to be exploited when they could find it.

I'm looking forward to maybe being able to relax a bit next week against ULM before they get back into SEC play.

I see 2 losses in there, not sure which because this team has not heart, that was a pathetic display last night against a team that is really bad. Fuck Ealey was more concerned with getting his helmet than covering up the ball after he fumbled, this team has no fire, no emotion, and zero heart.

And its obvious that bobo is a bad OC, he kept trying to run up the middle when its obvious that it wasnt there but the swing pass to the outside was, so what does he do to start the second half? Run the ball up the middle, fucking brilliance there bobo. He should have followed martinez out the door, now it looks like richt may be gone unless a miracle happens and they win the rest of their games.

Sad thing is, they have 6 winnable games left on their schedule, so they're likely into a bowl game.

[ozzie]

Goddamn that west virginia game was maddening

Yeah, that LSU defense will drive you crazy. Might be the best I've seen this year.

Tennessee damn sure won't test them this weekend, so they've got 2 weeks to try to figure out how to score on offense before going to UF.

LSU fans have been calling for Jefferson to be benched since their bowl game last year, and he's done nothing to prove them wrong so far this year. (10 for 22, 75 yds and 2 picks against WVU)

The only person that seems to think the guy should be starting is Les Miles.

I wish like hell that AU had scheduled them earlier in the year.

[TheGameHHH]

How worthless does that Purdue win look now.

Sad thing is, they have 6 winnable games left on their schedule, so they're likely into a bowl game.

It's not that the Purdue win feels worthless, its more like Michigan and Michigan State were absolutely winable games that came down to the last seconds and tested their ability to make plays. I haven't seen N.D. show up when it's mattered, consistently, in close to 15 years.

Yeah, that LSU defense will drive you crazy. Might be the best I've seen this year.

Tennessee damn sure won't test them this weekend, so they've got 2 weeks to try to figure out how to score on offense before going to UF.

LSU fans have been calling for Jefferson to be benched since their bowl game last year, and he's done nothing to prove them wrong so far this year. (10 for 22, 75 yds and 2 picks against WVU)

The only person that seems to think the guy should be starting is Les Miles.

I wish like hell that AU had scheduled them earlier in the year.

That's the issue though. Jefferson sucks so bad that his defense may be on the field for 45 minutes. We'll see how good that defense is when it's playing SEC teams not named Miss St ( ouch sorry SP ) or Vanderbilt.

I don't know if it's been that long but it has been a while.

ND fans, myself included, tend to lose some emotional fortitude once the 1st and 2nd losses happen because we know we have no shot at a meaningful bowl game

I'm not gonna dunp on Kelly yet because he's not Willingham and it's his 1st season but hopefully he'll give us even 85% of what it seems people expect of him.

Who the hell fallsfor the fake FG ?

I mean play like they're gonna fake it everytime. Who cares if you block the FG unless it's the game winner.

Unless they're up against a no huddle team, don't worry about that defense getting tired. They're incredibly deep, and their 2nd team has played a ton of snaps already. I've seen very few weaknesses from their 1st team, and not many more when they substitute.

AU finally showed their version of the "HUNH" (hurry up, no huddle) against USCe, and was able to sustain some long drives while not allowing the defense to substitute. They're going to need that come 10/23.

The outrage against starting Jefferson is getting bad, and Miles is taking the brunt of their frustrations. Lots of "boo"ing and people walking out of the stadium early last Saturday night, and the papers this week are filled with fans and columnists disagreeing with sticking with this kid.

They may have a full blown mutiny on their hands soon.
