Go Gators :(

Even Noles don't want this matchup. Bring on Mizzou.

Even as a visitor, that gave me goosebumps. Even after having a completely shit season and getting nearly blown-out by your hated rivals, every Gator in the stadium still chanted "It's great to be a Florida Gator!"

In all kinds of weather. Dem feels, man.

Michigan vs. Georgia in the Gator, please.

That'd be an awesome match-up.

FSU wins with a flawless victory.

A part of me thinks that both Auburn AND Ohio State are going to lose. Then what?

FSU vs. Mizzou. I'd rather see that than Auburn.

Eastern Florida State College, Cocoa Beach
University of Central Florida, Orlando
Florida State University, Tallahassee
University of Florida, Gainesville
Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Meyers
Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton
Florida International University, Miami
University of Miami, Miami (the real University of South Florida)

Florida's got their cardinal directions down.

FML.

Sark to USC makes no sense to me, and I really have no bias in the matter.

Greg Ducre ‏@GDucre18 2m
Damn...

Yeah, Sark's gone.

Top two names will be Mora and Wilcox. Don't see Mora leaving UCLA, timing is bad.

Wilcox could probably keep most of our young assistants on staff and keep recruiting from falling apart. Just get him a star OC and I'm happy.

But I liked Sark :(

I would bet Wilcox get the HC position at UW, but who knows.

LOL.

Unfortunately this means no pressure on UCLA's AD to do anything to improve the team. But then it's not like he responds to pressure or ever attempts to do anything right anyway.

I don't understand why you wouldn't stick with Orgeron for at least another season. But Sark, though?

Unless UW goes after Mora.

Saban is available.

Thinking about this after joking, Nuss is still in Alabama right? Bring him back!

We want Bama Saban. He is a Don James disciple! Plus I'm sure Bama fans will run him out of town after the Iron Bowl ;)

That's interesting...

That'd be a tremendous upgrade over Sark, imho.

Exactly why I expect Haden to go with Sark. Sark said he hasn't interviewed for the job, but he's talked to Haden. Guess they were just chatting about the weather then.

Sark :-(

I really like what he's done with the Dawgs.

And yet again, Mora gets kinda screwed over.

Mora to Washington
Saban to UCLA
Tears to USC

I'd be quite intrigued with that.

I appreciate him digging us out of the hole, but no one (including me) is really down in the dumps. If we nail the replacement (not hard, IMO) people will just move right along.

If anything, I hope Sark takes Cozetto with him.

They should give Woodward a gigantic raise if he can swing that.

Thoughts on Bedlam, squicken?

Why would Petersen turn down better programs to go to Washington?

I know everyone wants to talk about Shark (Dubs should hire Wilcox). But lets take a second to appreciate Appalachian State's hot (hot hot) new logo:

Pot laws obviously.

He obviously isn't looking for a bigger paycheck or job prestige or he wouldn't have turned down USC. He wants a school/area that fits his personality.

#Sark had a ton of support from ppl close to Pat Haden and getting to 8 wins Friday was big. As was #USC losing to #UCLA.

Can't wait to get Norm Chow in 2016 and Rocky Seto in 2019. Maybe Brennan Carroll in 2022?

@schadjoe: Steve Sarkisian has accepted the USC head coaching position

Sark's on a strange ride, not long ago, he sounded like he was doing good work out there, and then this year, the Washington crew here hate him.

Wait were they were actually thinking about hiring coach O?

Wonder if they might spring to see if Nussmeier wants to HC out in Washington.

He'd probably be 4th at best on the list. But hey, USC hired Sark so who knows? :P

Yes. The UCLA loss pretty much ended that talk, though, apparently. But I'd take him in a heartbeat over Sark.

(THU) Louisville @ Cincinnati by 4

Oklahoma @ Oklahoma State by 10
UCF @ SMU by 21

Ok, Washington, time to do us a solid and poach Mora away from UCLA.

That was the last football game that my (six months pregnant) wife and I will get to for a while, and it couldn't have been any better. Clemson called a pretty great game before falling apart the way Carolina used to do so often in this rivalry.

What is this, the ESPN comments section?

Gators officially announce Loucheiz Purifoy to leave for NFL Draft.

Coker will have only been at FSU for 3 years. He already is graduating? I know Ponder did it quickly but hadn't heard anything about it with Coker. Can a player use the ol graduate school trick in his 4th year of eligibility anyway? I'd be surprised if Coker could play right away.

He made some bad decisions, but I never got the hatred for him.

I mean, I don't get it, but I've never been a huge Petersen fan, so whatever he thinks is best. Though I do think he's an upgrade from Sarkisian.

I love seeing Spurrier troll people, as long as it's not my team. He's so good at it. Plus that "Aw shucks" look that he does kills me every time.

John David Booty 2022.

Look on the bright side, Trogans-Age:

The last UW head coach to leave for another school was some guy named Darrell K. Royal, who left for some podunk school in Austin, TX.

Gotta love ADs that make decisions based on 1 weekend of games.
