I haven't really been following the team very close this year. Watch the games, but I've been so annoyed with Landry and Heupel that I just sort checked out.Originally Posted by KingGondo
Thoughts on Bedlam, squicken?
Could've done that with Orgeron, though.Originally Posted by Purple Cheeto
Wow, I thought for sure they'd go with Franklin. I guess they decided keeping the PC tree alive was the most important thing.
It surprised me. No boos the whole game. I thought the students had become whiny spoiled brats. I was wrong.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.

This decision makes no sense at all.

If they couldn't get somebody with a better conference record than Lane Fucking Kiffin, they should've just stuck with Orgeron.Originally Posted by Calamari41
This. Just think, Haden got rid of a coach who went 6-3 with a severely depleted team in favor of a coach who just went 8-4 with a full roster. In the same league.
Might as well have given Orgeron a whole year and then reevaluated next year.Originally Posted by timetokill

I think the Bama OC makes a lot of sense for UW.Originally Posted by cdyhybrid
Only makes sense if we don't offer him the HC job.
Chelf has to be feeling like redemption is in order after last year's Bedlam game, too. He played lights out and should have won in Norman.I haven't really been following the team very close this year. Watch the games, but I've been so annoyed with Landry and Heupel that I just sort checked out.
I'm pretty sure that Heupel is gone, but a loss wouldn't bother me. Wouldn't bother me to see OSU to make a BCS game. Be good way to finish for my boy Chelf!
1-9 vs Stanford and Oregon while at UW. His last high profile victory was over an over rated USC team in 2010!Originally Posted by Calamari41

0-5 vs. Oregon. Worst record in UW history. Even Tyrone was only 0-4!Originally Posted by Purple Cheeto

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said Jameis Winston's nebulous legal status should not factor into voters' evaluation of the Seminoles, who are ranked atop the BCS standings for the first time in 14 years.
While the debate about which teams should travel to Pasadena for the BCS national championship reached a fever pitch in the wake of Auburn's stunning upset of Alabama this past weekend, the Seminoles' perch at No. 1 may be precarious because of Winston's ongoing legal situation.
"We've went undefeated," Fisher said. "It's up (to) them what they do, but I don't think that should be in consideration."
Florida State is 12-0 and a four-touchdown favorite in this week's ACC Championship Game against Duke. Fisher said that if the Seminoles finish undefeated, they deserve a chance to play for a national title -- regardless of Winston's status.
"It's a team sport," Fisher said. "We're not a one-man team."
Fisher stopped short of saying voters should reward any undefeated team with a trip to the BCS championship game, however.
Both Florida State and Ohio State are 12-0, but No. 3 Auburn and No. 5 Missouri -- both with one loss -- could end the season with a more impressive slate of wins. Measuring an undefeated team with a weaker schedule against a one-loss team with a cache of impressive wins is up to each voter, Fisher said.
"If I was undefeated, it would upset me very much if someone jumped me," he said. "But at the same time, if I felt our one-loss team was better -- I understand both sides of that. But that's not for me to decide."
Whether Winston's legal status factors into the criteria of other voters remains to be seen, and the same is true of the redshirt freshman's place in the Heisman Trophy race. Voters must submit their final ballots for that award by 5 p.m. on Dec. 9.
"I think Jameis is one of the most outstanding players in the country," Fisher said. "Other people have outstanding players, and that's not for me to judge. But I'll say this: I'm glad he's on my team."
It might affect the heisman vote, but the BCS? Seems like he's just hedging for hedging sake.Originally Posted by Randolph Freelander

The long and short of it is that Orgeron rallied the team in a big way, let his coordinators handle the play calls rather than micromanaging them like Kiffin, and got some seriously impressive performances out of them. This is why some of us can't understand why Haden would make an at best lateral move by hiring Sarkisian rather than keeping Orgeron.So USC ended the year pretty decent. Was that a result of firing Lane Kiffin, or did the AD act to quickly?
Pretty much how I see it as well. OU has to hope for turnovers and D/ST scoresOriginally Posted by KingGondo
Chelf has to be feeling like redemption is in order after last year's Bedlam game, too. He played lights out and should have won in Norman.
As long as our offense scores 30+ (and it should) we should win pretty comfortably. No way does our defense allow much more than 20 at home to Trevor Knight and Josh Heupel.
The big dirty secret in Norman is that they're not getting the kind of talent they did in the mid-2000s. I don't care who your OC and DC are, they're gonna have trouble without good/great players.Pretty much how I see it as well. OU has to hope for turnovers and D/ST scores
And I'll say this for Bob. He fired Venables and put in Mike as DC, and he's going to fire the offensive staff at the end of the year. He seems to be running out of scapegoats.
The AD acted 5 games too late. He should've fired Kiffin on the spot after the bowl game loss to GaTech last year. Only person in the world who thinks Lane got fired too quickly was Lane himself. I bet even Layla thought he should be fired.So USC ended the year pretty decent. Was that a result of firing Lane Kiffin, or did the AD act too quickly?
edit: grammar
Oh I know. The talent on the lines is gross. I always wondered as a kid how Osborne got kids from the South and West Coast to spend winters in Nebraska, and eventually they couldn't beat their geography. I've always figured that to be an inevitability for Oklahoma, and it's just happening faster b/c Briles and Sumlin are now farming the same fieldsOriginally Posted by KingGondo

In fact, I think we have quite a bit more talent than they do this year, and it really isn't close. OU's aura of invincibility is gone.
I believe so. Seattle has world-class medical care too.Doesn't Petersen have a special needs child? Its not that big of a move so it would make sense.
