So, my brother won a life size Nick Saban cardboard standee.
What do people even do with those things?
I could see my mom putting it on the porch during games along with her Roll Tide flag.

Because Colorado lost a lot of talent iirc and expecting them to run through UCLA, USC, and Utah? I can't see that.
Mora may be Mora.. but UCLA is still talented and has Rosen at QB.
I'm not eager to jump on Stanford train till I see them on the field especially defensively since that curbstomp they received from Washington.
Sorry friend
You're wrong and a bad person.. ban this man Cyan.
It was the best football year ever

I'll allow '07 as the last time CFB was allowed to have any type of fuckery while Saban worked the kinks out.

LionPride, weren't you like 8 in 2007?
Trying to remember who won when I was 8....
Oklahoma. Not Bob Stoops' Oklahoma, either.

2007: App State beats Michigan, #1 & 2 lose constantly, and Cartman introduces the Colorado starters. Sadly I can only find a video of the offensive starters.

College football hasn't recovered since. *insert evil laugh*
When I was 8, it appears to be the last time Notre Dame won a championship.
I'm reading the SB Nation stuff they've been doing on 07 since my first CFB memory is probably a random bowl game from 08/09

Dennis Dixon and Pat White sound like GODS.
Kansas football was good
USF was #2 after only existing for like 10 years
Mizzou wasn't bad either
Hawaii was a good program
What a strange year

Greg Schiano was still coaching Rutgers football.
What a great man. The greatest of head coaches, never had a bad word to say about him, ever.

Incredible game. I wonder what happened to that coach from Boise.

Todd Reesing was fucking legit
Will never forget Kansas dropping like 80 on Nebraska though

The fact he stayed for eight more years is almost as shocking as anything else from 07.

It was amazing. It started with App State vs Michigan (which was the very first thing ever broadcasted on BIG 10 Network) and just snowballed where the biggest upsets happened every weekend. Juice Williams beat Ohio State in Columbus, Kentucky beat LSU in double ot, Pitt and WVU was nuts, shit you name it..
No season in any sport has ever come close to the fuckery of that year. Not even close
Fuck I forgot that. In Lincoln no less..
Too bad Mangino was a scumbag
Is there anything that comes to that ending in sports? I can't think of anything

Nobody knows. There are rumors he coaches for a non USC non Stanford PAC 12 team, but that doesn't seem right because that would be such a step down for him.
Hawaii was kind of good. Also, I feel so old. And here I thought buck was young.
Are you even 18?

Poor Dennis Dixon, that heisman was his.

To be fair, nothings happened in Lincoln since 2001
1999 when they last won their conference, really.

Last time I saw him he was getting embarrassed on national tv... Don't know what he's done since.

Me too. Seems like this past December would've been a great time for him to pull a few more tricks out for some reason. Weird.

On the one hand, Heritage Foundation? Pounding that propaganda war drum.
On the other hand, everything's coming up ACC/SEC. Eat it, suckers.

I read that yesterday. Still hilarious that it was the first game on the 'ol B1G Network. Helluva way to start.
Implying that we're ever on national TV.
(I think we were once last season- the Notre Dame monsoon that almost gave me pneumonia)

I think Lion gives us the unique opportunity to get into the mind of someone the same age as incoming recruits. It would be interesting to see whom he views as the elite programs, since he wasn't alive back when a lot of the blue bloods were still relevant.
It's interesting to hear 30+ or so aged college football fans in Texas wondering why Baylor is still recruiting okay with all the scandal and looming sanctions and such. I don't think they realize that recruits these days don't remember "worse cumulative conference record than Kansas" Baylor, they only know "conference champion and perennial top 10" Baylor.
Bama
Ohio State
Florida State
Oklahoma
Clemson is makin it's way on up
Michigan
LSU maybe
I blame tech fans for letting the "worse than Baylor" chants die.
Michigan goes 3rd in their division and they're elite? What else have they done while you've been watching CFB?
Bama? Absolutely ridiculous. You consider a team whose 2018 recruiting class is ranked behind Duke, Purdue, Virginia and Colorado to be elite?
