Great part of the country to visit....but that is about it. And I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be tied to them in any way.

Actually the line moved to 8. Now, as a general rule I never touch games that I have an emotional interest in, as it clouds my bull shit meter. But 8? So, I plan on scraping together as much cash as I possibly can up today and dropping it on this game. There is absolutely no fucking way OU can cover that spread unless the damn thing really is rigged, 8? Unless I have been watching some other OU team. They would have covered only 6 of their games this entire year by that same spread, and that includes FAU and UCLA. They wouldn’t have covered that spread against fucking Army! And now they put that number out against Texas? Man, that just looks really fucked up.

No it won’t, but it should. Georgia Tech is far to conservative of an institution to allow his antics. But, the amount of talent in the state of Georgia that either gets overlooked. Or can’t find a home at one the local blue bloods forcing them far out of state. Would provide him enough talent that in a very short time his system would cause the competition a lot of problems.

Start cheating? What, you new to this? If we were able to look at the thing known as the hive (which everyone knows is an arc of the FedEx sort of thing that will blind you) it is probably one of the primary reasons they found the SEC so fucking appealing....to cheat without being called on it. Well that and the neo-nazi thing. Firgive me for stating the obvious. But their little boost in recruiting coinciding with their jump to SEC isn’t a coincidence. It’s the buy em all a Trans Am thing. They knew damn well going in, that the SEC has a pretty good system in place where unlike other conferences, no one will out a cheater. Only Fulmer had the balls to call Alabama out. And you see what that got him AND Tennessee.

Only thing I got out of that retarded original post (which I refuse to quote) is under 1) “LSU had a lot at steak”? I don’t see anything wrong with that, as I too like to have a lot of steak at the house. Whether or not they had a lot at stake is anyone’s guess? As is Jimbo being LSU’s dream coach. That really does sound like a fucking aggy, doesn’t it? Oh, and I did chuckle at “the start of the machine”. That fucking machine has been broke down for the better part of 25 years..

That is why he is so deserving of the honor. The rules heavily favor the offense, and have since the inception of the 3-yard rule for offensive linemen. Hooking a d-linemen is taught at every university. Many on here don’t seem to know that. And his ability to manage that advantage and still dominate is why he will play on Sundays.

I’m going to guess that Murray’s performance has surprised a lot of people. Physically the guy doesn’t impress anyone. Sure he can run, but that sure didn’t seem to help him while at aggy. Not to mention OU is toast without him. So maybe his performance under Riley while following Mayfield had a lot to do with it?

I’m shocked Pollock didn’t back down. He refused to forgive OSU for their inconsistency. Which obviously Herbstreit had no problem doing. Even Galloway stuck to his guns..interesting indeed. Of course I think the entire conversation is acedemic because I don’t see OU beating Texas. It has nothing to do with being a fan. But I have eyes too. And though they are two very evenly matched teams, Texas has the intangibles. And by 4:00 pm on 12/1 OU will be making plans for something other then the playoffs.

Exactly, why people think he needs great coordinators, etc is unfounded. The ACC is a really bad conference once you get passed Clemson. FSU just had its first losing season since the Carter administration. Richt has shown that he fact needed to be replaced at Georgia, and Pitt is the other half of their championship game at 7-5. As bad as Mack may have been. He was never incompetent. Sure, he got as lazy as I am. And never emotionally got over the Alabama loss. But on his worse day he is better then that collection of coaches in the ACC.

That pretty much sums up aggy, and not just football. Log stacking, stadium building, weird initiations utilizating Mason Jars and nut grabbing all fall under some level of controversial and fluky circumstances.

I wasn’t there......I was sleeping with Never Marry Stripper’s ex-wife, who wasn’t yet his wife in the storage area in the ACB at Moncrief.

First off, stop being a fan for just a minute and look at it from a third parties view point. This story got out for a reason, likely both parties involved wanted it out. And actually, regardless of how any of us feel. I believe this will in fact be watched very closely whether anyone on this site finds it relevant or not. And probably why the story was leaked. Not because you care, or I care, or even if the NCAA may not care...for now. Who does care are oddsmakers and bookies who bet both the last game between these two coaches, and will cover action on the championship game this week. As well as league officials who ultimately will get asked about it. If you look at it as a third party with no horse in the race. Such a cozy relationship so soon after their game it isn’t so much about the Texas ou game, which is a large part of it. It immediately calls into question the last game between the two coaches that occurred just last week. And if any discussion or conversation took place between Herman and a lame duck coach in Beatty. If such a discussion did occur about a possible future relationship between the two did occur PRIOR to the Texas Kansas game concerning a future arrangement that was not part of a required Big12 media event. A conversation that could now in fact be a huge problem if Herman can’t answer that question empathetically with “we never spoke” comment. And be absolutely sure that no record of a conversation exists, I believe he is good to go, Anything less then that becomes the smoking gun, even if the conversation they had was 100% innocuous. And why typically opposing coaches typically find a way to hire the guy, as opposed to “consulting” him. And seldom in the same season. Under similar circumstances. It simply has bad optics for everyone involved. Especially if you dig into the game totals for Pooka, and the Kansas receivers numbers for the game. A game they only lost by a single score, a game where one play could have changed the outcome. And prevented Texas from the CG. Armed with that, one could direct some very tough questions to Herman. Who has shown difficulty in the past handling really tough questions. Questions that didn’t have any where near the implications that these questions would have. Just one man’s opinion, as we will see soon enough how those in power feel about it doing something that normally is not done. At least not at Texas.

aggy sucks balls. The SEC had a hand in this game whether directly or indirectly. And yet aggy still almost pissed it away. And no one will convince me that there isnt a genuine concern in the SEC offices about a rejuvenated Texas team competing for championships. And how it impacts recruiting not for Alabama, but for the middle and bottom of the pack SEC teams. Alabama is going to get theirs, it is about the other teams having an easier time of it when going up against our middle and bottom of the pack teams. When it comes to recruiting. Shut down Texas, and the Big12 gets stronger by proxy.

I think it is a brilliant move by Mack. First he will be only one of five active coaches who actually has a title under his belt. And you know Mack, every recruit will see that big ass fucking 05 ring when he sits down with mom and dad. I guarantee he will out recruit the majority of ACC coaching staff’s just by killing himself fishing in Florida. Not by selling UNC, but as a vehicle to get to the NFL. He has name recognition and will be able to take advantage of every kid (and their parents) ego, and desire to make it to the league. The second point is the state of the ACC. Sure Clemson is a powerhouse. But they are the only team that has a pulse. Christ, they’re playing the ACC championship game against a 7-5 Pitt team, 7-5?. That ain’t going to scare anyone. Especially a guy with Mack’s ego. Throw in the shit conditions that Miami and FSU can’t seem to extract themselves from. And he probably has a winning record in his first year without doing much of anything. And most importantly, he isn’t under ANY pressure to win BIG. No one in Chapel Hill is even remotely thinking about the playoffs. If he is simply competitive, he will have a job for life. The Tarheels have been a fucking disaster since he left. And it’s ridiculous that some of you are going to great lengths to suggest a litany of great coordinators he MUST hire to be successful. I disagree, they just need to be competent. But not necessarily great. The guy is also personable. Throw in what he has learned and who he has met while stealing a paycheck from ESPN. You can’t help but think he has given this some thought, and probably has a short list of who he will hire. I think this will be fun to watch. Now, who do we need to talk to about scheduling a game against UNC?

They allowed +70 to a team that didn’t get in field goal range against Alabama. And that is someway a shot across the bow? I’m not sure that frightens Vanderbilt, much less Alabama?

So that’s the smug smile of someone who fucks someone out of millions of dollars looks like..

You left off the most important component. Their influences are unchallenged in how the conference makes decisions. One need look no farther then Bryant’s son single handily screwing over UAB football for his own personal reasons. Had it not been for the public outcry from his petty attack. They still wouldn’t be playing football at UAB.

Every single person on this planet has in their nature a want to be successful, recognized and important. It is not a flaw, but part of our DNA. The difference is that most of us understand that not everyone can be the lead singer of Zeppelin, or the Queen of England. The internet has allowed those who feel they have not achieved what they believe to be rightfully theirs. A platform that unfortunately has no filters. And allows those individuals to put this type of shit out there for all to see.

What is Purdue University Global? An online institution? I am not familiar with that name, or is that in fact the correct description of what I know simply as Purdue?

I watched the video. It was egregious and should have drawn a flag. Especially after the offensive player made physical contact. However failure of the back judge to not throw a flag doesn’t invalidate my original point of what transpired last night. You would be better served to find the video of the Kansas State player who was flagged after he stops and salutes the front row of military dignitaries after he successfully caught what was the winning pass in their bowl game. Only to be flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct by his salute. That flag cost K-State to lose that game. It is a rule, and as such either enforce it, or change the rule.

Shit, I’m going to have to take that bet. 7.5? That is unreal.

Movies like Hell or High Water can do so much to enhance any potential recruit’s decision to actually decide to attend a university out on the waste lands of Lubbock.

Bullshit, no one is arguing how good Bama is. The argument rests with the opportunity to compete. Not to mention that upsets occur almost every week. And they won’t expand because of the power of the Bowl committee’s influences. This system allows certain teams to lose and still get a shot. We as a group would be lived if it was us ranked at 5 and subsequently got left out should Alabama get in after losing the SECCG. Remove the bowls from the equation and a 16 team playoff is easily done. The model already exists. No one will give a shit (nor should they) about the 17th team that got left out. It is leaving out the 5th team that is a major fucking problem.

We will know the “committee’s” intentions on Tuesday days before Texas OU. If they jump OSU ahead of OU, a team they have trailed all year in the rankings. A team that has a common opponent, which ironically OU held to a lower offensive total then OSU was able to do. Then OU should know it really doesn’t matter if they beat Texas or not when it applies to advancing to the playoffs. And I believe El Squared is correct. They want a Bama, Georgia, Clemson and ND playoff. The rest is just window dressing.

Fuck you, it is just one of the many calls that directly point to something being suspect about the way the entire game was fucking being officiated. You dumb fucking condescending bastard.
