Pish, he is announcing his candidacy for president.

Guess I could have given an extra micro-percentage point for Retirement.

New A&M DC!!!!!!!!

I think he is going to eat a baby live on TV and dare someone to say something to him.

[ConfusingJazz]

85% it's a PC for Juniors leaving early, like it was done last year 14.9% it's announcing a new OC. 0.1% TEXAS/DALLAS/PENN STATE!

Man, I blame you for being right. This is uninteresting now.

I imagine his support would be huge in the south!

Man, I blame you for being right. This is uninteresting now.

I had 35 confidence points on Alabama over LSU.

I'm always right....

....Damn you Vandy, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin and Utah State....

Richardson on the radio here, and using the phrase "I got 2 children and I have to look after them, and I think about everytime I step out on the field.."

Basically, yes, DUHHHHH, he's going to go Pro tomorrow.

[Battlezone]

Damn, Nick Saban is 60?

I am still kicking myself for boldly picking a B1G sweep on New Years' Day. I think I was in first or second place before that. It was all downhill from there. One of these days, I'll learn...

2012: Year of B1G Redemption!

[Ganhyun]

Hoping that something comes from these LSU Locker Room rumors. Something happened before the game, and obviously something happened afterwards.

Where are you getting this? Was Lee complaining about his butt falling asleep because he was sitting on the bench for too long?

I trust Lonestar to be accurate on things like this.

Edit: And then he goes and explains things for me :)

Another year, another $60 million highschool football stadium is being built in Texas

I don't know where they are getting the money from. The district my mom works for is laying off teachers left and right, we have overcrowded classrooms, and still the district gives millions of dollars every year to the more poor districts across the state due to the mandatory "Robin Hood Act". In other words, our district is one of the wealthier districts in the state, and we're bankrupt. I don't see how Allen ISD can be doing so well. Donors?

I quoted the images so they could be smaller

F that he is announcing Dooley as his new OC. I can feel it.

Oh, no. You're going to have to fire Dooley's ass. You're not getting off that easy.

I don't know if they still do, but allen got a shit load of money from plano from robin hood.

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Brah if you had ever been to Allen, Plano, Frisco, McKinney you would know where they get the money from.

[Karl2177]

Iowa's best RB, Coker, is transferring because of his punishment. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-...230636073.html

If I were a guessing man, I'd say it has to do with the dropped assault charges from earlier in the year.

So, marijuana then.

Iowa players have done much worse than marijuana and stayed on the team.

[perfectchaos007]

I don't know if they still do, but allen got a shit load of money from plano from robin hood.

Well that's not right. Our district gives money through robin hood, and we're still poor and have to lay off teachers and overcrowd classrooms. Allen is a recipient of Robin Hood and they can build $60 million dollar stadiums?? As much as Texans fear the idea of socialism, I'm surprised we're all okay with this system.

[Affeinvasion]

Having gone to one of the richest schools in the state I will say that it doesn't surprise me at all. Everything is based on TAKS scores and if you can kind of read you can pass that test. As far as I know you can even take it in Spanish for fucks sake.

More on topic...there are boosters for these stadiums just like you have in college. High School footbaw in Texas is big money especially if you are a ford dealer or an orthodontist or some shit.

I hear you, I live in Plano and they're always in a struggle to pay teachers, and on top of that we had to give money to Allen who was off building state of the art athletic facilities. Allen was pretty much a shit hole until the late 90s, and then the area exploded in terms of population and money. They've only gotten upgraded to a robin hood district recently.

Cam Newton Loophole now Closed

INDIANAPOLIS - A year and a day after Cam Newton led Auburn to a football national championship, the NCAA closed the loophole that allowed him to play. By Mark J. Terrill, AP The association's Division I legislative council endorsed a measure Wednesday expanding its definition of an agent to encompass third-party influences - including family members - who directly or indirectly market an athlete for profit as Newton's father tried to do as the quarterback was being recruited out of junior college. Among the specific targets: anyone who "seeks to obtain any type of financial gain or benefit from securing a prospective student-athlete's enrollment at an educational institution or a from a student-athlete's potential earnings as a professional athlete." BLOG: Auburn releases documents from NCAA investigation Such activity by an agent would render the athlete ineligible. In those cases, the new measure also would apply an agent's tag to contract advisors, financial advisors, marketing representatives, brand managers "or anyone who is employed by or associated with such persons." Where the NCAA currently monitors agent activity in regard to marketing athletes to professional teams, the proposal adds approaches to colleges. The issue has boiled since the 2010 football season and revelations that Newton's father unsuccessfully sought six-figure payment from Mississippi State for the player's recruiting commitment. The younger Newton claimed no knowledge of the infraction and, with that, the NCAA said it had no recourse under current rules to suspend him. Newton went on to win the Heisman Trophy and lead Auburn to the title. NCAA President Mark Emmert vowed to address the issue. "It was important for us to shore that up and make sure we were encompassing all individuals, probably as we all had intended (in the past)," said Carolyn Campbell-McGovern, deputy executive director of the Ivy League and chair of the NCAA legislative council. "It also speaks not only to who's covered but also the scope. Trying to do it is a violation, not just actually receiving money." The change goes into effect immediately as long as the Division I board of directors doesn't quash or delay it when it meets Saturday in conjunction with the NCAA's annual convention.

It's like they say, on going investigation!

So Curtis grant, #1 lb recruit last year, was in chipotle with me today. He ordere a water then put powerade in his glass, do I have to report this to the NCAA?

True, marijuana at a minimum then.

What else did he order? He get the white rice or that newfangled organic, brown stuff?

Pfff new? We've had that shit for over a year now, I think we were the test market for it.

[squicken]

I don't follow recruiting, but it seems like I every time I read the OKC paper online, OU is losing some recruit or having some other guy transfer. Now Mike Stoops is coming back, only they are waiting for the guy they are firing but not really to get another job before announcing he's coming back. Oh, and Venables is fine with the obvious demotion.

What the hell happened to that program? Now Bob Stoops is doing interviews about making sure he doesn't burn himself by grinding himself down? I guess as long as he can beat UT out of 4th place he's happy

edit: Holgo offering Venables DC job at WVU? That actually works out for everyone

[andycapps]

Man, in the Burg we just got it. I assume this was on campus?

Still haven't gotten the white corn here. When I was in MD they had that. Tastes better, man.

Yeah was the one on campus on high st.

The one on 256 has had it for awhile too. I always forget you live 5-10 min away from me.

Yeah I always hit up the one on Broad St. 256 one is too busy. Yeah, weird to know a fellow CFB GAF member is just down the road from me.

For those interested. Urban will be doing a speech an introducing his staff at halftime of Sunday's game vs IU. I'm sure they will show that on tv, wonder if he'll pull a tressel?

Here's a few of the better ones. USC Warrior is my favorite. Simple and clean, but also awesome looking.

USC Warrior


LSU Tigers


Cal Golden Bears


Alabama


Georgia


Really hoping they add more. The ones in this initial set are all pretty great. I'd love an FSU one.

I think the USC one would look better w/ a centered logo instead of:

I'm of course assuming this is a dead dog, not a Snoopy impersonation.

I'll probably be getting this one. Thanks!

From here:

We have heard several disturbing things about Steele's possible psychological breakdown during the Orange Bowl game. Multiple sources have said that he was calling plays from his days with the Panthers, which aren't in the Clemson playbook, and as such the players were totally confused. It reportedly happened during the Auburn game as well. I do not know if that is true, and frankly think it a bit farfetched, but I do know that Steele has a reputation for being a nervous wreck on gamedays. I'm sure most of you recall that he passed out on the sidelines during a game, and I have heard many times that he requires an IV for fluids because he's such a wreck and won't eat at all on gameday. Hopefully he can get these things corrected for his own health.
