Nebraska gets fucked for their bowl yet again.

Who wouldn't want to play the same opponent two years running?! Yawn. Already seeing the threads talking about Nebraska fanbase not showing up in the numbers everyone expects from us. At least we're not playing a team we played in the regular season like when we played Washington twice (in a bowl we'd already gone to the previous year).

Oh well, here's looking forward to another year of Bo Pelini football.

Georgia fans feel about the same about getting the same opponent as last year. I expect attendance to be pretty poor honestly. Shouldn't be a problem to get cheap tickets at the stadium.

I didn't know Bessant was white

So,

Rumors are that Saban signed a 12 million dollar contract with UT.

Part of these rumors are based on a forum member from Shaggy bevo calling ABIA, pretending to be a limo driver and having the airport page "Nick Saban". Which sent several "9.95 insiders" going nuts on the twitter.

Should I update my avatar to this defensive coordinator from MSU's last rose bowl?

Yeah, pretty sad state of affairs. Wish I lived closer so I could have gone to the game.

Here's hoping for a clean game from both teams with absolutely no injuries. I think both fan bases have had enough of those for the year. Best of luck to Georgia. Let's make this a good one.

Damn those UT board guys are good, finding Saban's plane like that.

Someone trolled the "insiders" staking out the airport

LOL

YES, I won! Thanks to Meier and AgentDormer for help dreaming up the thread title.

The trifecta.

This video of Rice being offered the Liberty Bowl in the locker room is amazing

This may be the greatest video from the season that wasn't on the field.

Yeah, I think both fanbases would normally travel well, but I'm expecting it to look like a Miami or Georgia Tech game as far as turnout.

Mack Brown resigning according to Chip Brown.

Caution: this is according to Chip Brown.

[Battlezone]

Eh, people look for things to be angry at.

I liked it. Let people think they'll get torn to shreds if they show up wearing the wrong jersey, more of our fans and home games and more tickets for me.

Yeah, I liked it too. I thought it was well done, and was really surprised when people got all upset about it. It's almost like they never saw the Kevin Garnett one which is literally the same commercial.

Back on topic: Who's on Texas' list for coaches besides Saban. Heck, was Saban ever really on Texas' list, or is this all coming from the hearts, minds, and wishes of ShaggyBevo?

 

[timetokill]

According to Pat Haden, Texas will be naming Will Muschamp as their next head coach shortly.

 

[squicken]

So Mack Brown will be coaching where next year?

USC

USC

HBC stepping aside?

I said USC.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

9.95's starting to call their shots

High-level sources tell [my 9.95 site] Mack Brown will step down after 16 years at Texas.

 

[ag-my001]

I'm sure Mack can get a very cushy job shaking hands and sitting in an office somewhere in Austin. Who takes over at UT is the better question. There really aren't that many hot names out there, so even a competent hiring could lead to a "that's the best we could do?!" reaction, leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy of mediocrity.




I'm ok with that.

 

[bucknuticus]

Sabans,Urbs, Shaw have to be top candidates.

Dont see Urbz leaving, other 2 are maybes, i really cant see Saban leaving bama for another college though.

Good. I dont want that sleezeball as our HC. He's a Kiffykins clone with more success

 

[StoOgE]

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


Thanks Mack for everything but the last 3 years.

Naw, Urbz went from Gata to Ohio. Kiffikins fails upwards.

 

[KingGondo]

Fixed

 

[bucknuticus]

Saban to texas, Jimbo to bama, Muschamp to FSU, Tebow to Gata.

Cycle complete.

 

[perfectchaos007]

haha ESPN ranks the Alamo Bowl matchup as a better bowl game than the Fiesta Bowl. More bitter tears and shots at UCF from Baylor fans incoming

[PhoenixDark]

I would have loved to see FSU v MSU in a playoff system this year. I honestly think MSU could win.

 

[impirius]

HBC stepping aside?

We take only ex-Florida coaches now. Ron Zook had better be available in a few years

 

[Draxal]

I'm trying very very hard to care about the Rutgers/ND bowl. But I don't think even Jamesinclair thinks we have a chance of winning this one.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


Thanks Mack for everything but the last 3 years.

Pump your brakes:

THIS JUST IN: Texas denies report that Mack Brown will step down as Longhorns coach. Board of Regents to meet Thursday. (via @schadjoe)

 

[Enfinit]

Saban to texas, Jimbo to bama, Muschamp to FSU, Tebow to Gata.

Cycle complete.

Jimbo's stuck here until at least 2018.

If Muschamp came here I'd probably rip my anus out and throw it against a wall and jump through it into another dimension where Muschamp is nothing more than the babbling toddler he is.

Sorry, it's adult swim time now, all you kiddos need to get outta the pool.

Sounds like DeLoss story. Report, denial, announcement. RT @SportsCenter Texas denies report that Mack Brown will step down.


It's all a part of the Texas PR procedure. They'll announce it on their own terms, not let some $9.95 guy spoil their moment for butterteeth

Don't believe it until there is a press release. On anything.

Feels good, don't it?

I already booked flights to the next 5 national titles.

SABAN IN MY VEINS.

Can he bring that trophy from when he killed colt with mind bullets?

Yeah FSU locked down Jimbo a few days ago, thankfully. Smart move.

Jimbo never signed an extension but has agreed to one. Basically it is an agreement in principle, aka, negotiating leverage.

I could see Saban to Texas and Jimbo to Bama.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Amazing, since the only final announced so far is at Jerry World.

Also, you're going to Jerry World, gross. I think I prefer burning my eyes out.

It wasn't mind bullets. It was a 375 pound lineman that took Colt's manhood.

Tejas posters starting a party, I see.

I will shotgun a beer if it happens today.

Apparently Mack Brown responded: http://texas.247sports.com/Article/Mack-Brown-responds-to-report-of-resignation-165559

"I haven't seen (the) article," Brown wrote.

"I'm in Florida talking to Will Muschamp about him taking over the job. If I had decided to step down already I sure wouldn't be killing myself down here. I have not decided to step down yet."

Interesting.

9.95 war! I can't imagine how happy 24/7 was to publish this.

 

[squicken]

Which site had DeLoss stepping down? Was one of those and then UT denied it only for it to then happen

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I know that the "Jimbo to Bama" talk is somewhat tongue in cheek, but he doesn't have any connections that I'm aware of to that university. And I don't see why Texas would be a better job than Alabama, or why Alabama would be a better job than Florida State.

I get that money is money, and maybe Texas can afford more than anybody, but I don't know that Alabama can spend more than a Florida State or any other high level school. And certainly, the road to success is easier at FSU. Florida State has no trouble recruiting (just look at the roster, for one), and the ACC isn't loaded with heavyweights.

 

[mre]

Jesus Christ. No bullshit: just found out that Saban will be in Texas tomorrow

What a fucking day.
