  1. The ACC is absolutely terrible this year. I mean, outside Clemson they are every year but this year is special. Wake Forest and Boston College are the cream of the conference, the only 2 undefeated teams left. The upcoming shuffled B12 sans UT/OU is getting some run about not being a P5 conference as they will be lacking a blue blood program, but it’s still a better conference than the ACC particularly once Dabo leaves when Saban retires and Clemson regresses to their mean. Aggy should be concerned about how fisher left FSU, they became a dumpster inferno with no end in sight. But aggy is too busy being aggy with raises and extensions desperately clinging to their national championship by proxy. The best thing FSU could do in my opinion is lobby the SEC for entry, if they will take them? Too lazy to look it up, where do you see them getting that win to get to 1-11, on the surface it looks like that team has quit.
  2. How many times have former Saban assistants beat Saban once they became head coach? oh yeah...
  3. To help make your point, and that pre-season Or even first couple of weeks polls are dumb, here’s an example. forget next weeks games altogether, if we were rolling into Dallas at 3-1 and unranked while OU is 4-0 and ranked 4rh and we win 35-21 OU likely drops ~8 spots to 12 and we enter polls somewhere around 16-18. We see this shit every year, turns out it looks like our loss was to a top 10 team in week 2 with a new staff and freshman QB. We made adjustments and. Get on a roll but the polls won’t generally jump or drop a team more than 10 spots, usually less. There’s a chance we never catch up to them if we both win out from there Polls are a beauty contest and image does indeed matter Poll position matters, particularly when it’s so difficult to go undefeated and there are a lot of 1 loss teams vying for the same spots. But our image is approaching Michigan where pollsters are more likely to wait and see. On the flip side, we have certainly earned that wait and see attitude over the past decade, and we likely lose a few more games this year so... But Moving to the SEC will help remedy that.
  4. Coaches poll is garbage with OU at 4, aggy 13 and Clemson 19. they are the worst about not paying attention to what’s actually happening on the field. There’s at least 5 teams below OU that would be favored at a neutral site, I see maybe 2-3 teams below aggy that I think they would beat. clemson with all their talent but shitty QB play and 2-2 record should not be getting the benefit of any doubts right now.
  5. One time, at band camp...
  6. How good is Sam Pittman? How bad was aggy Chad? Jimbo just collecting checks at this point, if he wants to win anything of note again he’s going to have to try his luck at LSU.
  7. Dusty “I like to assault people but don’t really care to learn names or keep track of scores” Dvoradick seems like he sucks.
  8. Belmont is not where the game would be played. UGA the school does not pay recruits outside room/board/tuition/stipend. An organized and well funded booster program OTOH can certainly land top classes at a place that hasn’t won shit in 40 years. Now that’s not to say there’s not an “organizer” on the inside, there may be at some places. But it’s far more likely to be an ol freaky nasty than an AD.
  9. That reminds me of an old friend of mine, named Mike. He used to live in Wisconsin and he grew to just hate the snow. One day he packed all his shit, strapped a snow blower to the roof of his car and said “Fuck this snow, I’m driving south until Someone asks me what the fuck is strapped on top of my truck. That’s where I will live.” He ended up in Katy. We kind of fell out of touch and I tried calling (land line days) one day but his line had been disconnected. I ended up in Houston for a family thing and figured I would stop by his place and check in. When I got there the house was empty, some random things left behind like they left in a hurry. His next door neighbor was doing some yard work so I walked over and asked if he knew what happened to mike. He said “No, they packed all their shit up a couple months ago, damnedest thing though, they headed west on I-10 with an aggy tied to the roof of his truck.”
  10. Saban was in play, he was THE play. There’s some background there and no one can say for certain that Saban would have done the same thing here as he has done at Bama. But it’s easy to speculate, and the CFB landscape might look quite different. Friday the 13th December 2013 is a day of infamy when Mack stuck his dick in the mash potatoes and Deloss was complicit in not forcing the issue a day prior. Mack resigned the next day.
  11. We bought a 7-5 coach who’s record on the road is 12-23. Saturdays loss should not be shocking, although the complete ass kicking in every aspect was surprising from a team who has won like 3 total conference games in the past 3 years.
  12. Jimbob

    2003 redux?

    Maybe more like 1996 with a great sophomore RB, our coach has about the same demeanor and we are probably looking at similar records at the end of year. That was out first year in the B12 while this is likely our last, and it’s conceivable we have another new coach in the next couple years
  13. There’s a saying about that, something about jimmy and Joe on X being hoes or something.
  14. Maybe that’s what we need. The last time we had a real QB controversy the guy who came in after was pretty good.
  15. He didn’t basically resign from USC, he signed a “last chance” contract after the drunken salute to Troy banquet and proceeded to show up drunk to practice and then disappeared when he got called out. He filed a $30M wrongful termination suit against USC that he subsequently lost. So no, he did not basically resign from USC.
  16. I switched from beer to jonnie Walker KGV at the half. if it works this is going to be a very drunk and expensive season.
  17. Changing QBs isn’t going to help, our OL is terrible.
  18. Buff chick in white shirt in the middle of stands tripping balls looking at her phone
  19. Running errand, listening on radio. Ad for maroon F150s by jimbo, ok that’s par for the course. followed by an ad for parasitic horse paste, “be sure to check with your vet” holy shit
  20. Fox sucks
  21. I feel like there’s a 5th commentator sitting in the middle, just can’t see him.
  22. This is about right. If he was just about the money he will flirt with LSU and get aggy to up the pay to 15M/10yr. But he still lives below his means, above ground pool style. So the competitive side of him probably wins out and he could have a real shot at another title at LSU, something he has to realize will never happen in his current gig.
  23. Aggy likely goes 10-3 and finishes top 10. They are better than we would like, and their schedule is soft with LSU sucking and the rebuilding going on around them. No clear losses on that schedule outside Bama, maybe war eagle and/or a miss school beat them.
  24. Aggy shot them, just another tradition.
  25. I heard it was for academic reasons. Guess we have different sources
