Way to go, Tech, firing Leach was a great idea.

At least you'll still have Adam James, though!

This just means that Jimmy Sexton is "leaking" that Tuberville is interested in Miami. Look for Tech to open its pocketbooks to keep him.

The idiocy of this would be astounding. Tubbs came in and took a team with established players on both sides of the ball, completely changed the philosophy, and went 7-5 (including a now terrible-looking loss to Texas).

And half the reason they let Leach go was because they thought he would cost too much to retain. I'm convinced that the Adam James thing was just a convenient excuse.

You have to believe that Tubbs would go to the U if the job was offered. I doubt that they would want him, but who knows?

All I'm saying is that Sexton's clients have a habit of having their names pop up in relation to "prominent" D1 openings, and then a week or two later they have a new contract and are disclaiming every being interested in any other job. Has anyone connect to the U talked up Tuberville?

Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville has told the school he will not pursue further the Miami job, the Austin American-Statesman reports.

So UF goes to visit 6'6" ESPNU150 WR Kelvin Benjamin and family on Tuesday evening. His family asked how long Urban Meyer would coach at UF. UF's coach compared Meyer's longevity to that of Joe Paterno. Less than 24 hours later, Meyer retired for the second time in a calender year.

:lol :lol At least he is lucky and he left immediately after they lied to him. Imagine how all the kids that were told last year not to worry about Meyer because he would be there for a long time feel.

Dr. Seuss has risen from the grave to write one last book. "Greenbacks for Cam"

I am Cam!
Cam I am!
Cam don’t have no greenbacks. Damn!

Did you take them, Cam-I-am?
Did you take
Greenbacks for Cam?

I did not take them!
Cam-I-am!
I did not take
Greenbacks for Cam.

Did you take them
Here or there?

I would not take them
here or there.
I would not take them
anywhere.
I did not take
Greenbacks for Cam.
I did not take them.
Cam-I-am!

Did you take them
On the Plain?
Did you take them
From Jimmy Rane?

I did not take them
On the Plain.
I did not take them
From Jimmy Rane.
I did not take
Greenbacks for Cam.
I did not take them!
Cam-I-am!

Did you take from
Lowder? Dye?
Or any Auburn alumni?

Not from Lowder.
Not from Dye.
Not from Auburn alumni.
Not from Rane
Or on the Plain.
No dough did Cam-I-am obtain!

I did not take them.
Cam-I-am!
I did not take those greenbacks.
Damn!

You did not take them.
So you say.
But Cecil.
Did he make them pay?

Cecil? Yes! It’s like you say!
Reverend Cecil made them pay!
Reverend Cecil ran the scam.
He passed the plate for Cam-I-am.

He took from Lowder.
And from Dye.
From several Auburn alumni.
He took from Rane
Out on the Plain.
Two hundred thou! Let’s have champagne!

Cecil ran the pay-for-play.
And Cam knew nothing. Zip. No way.
He’s cool with NC double-AA.

I am Cam. Cam I am!
Bring my Heisman.
What a sham.

Yes, yes. K. Benjamin needs to hurry up and commit to FSU.

 

[ZephyrFate]

Dude, don't do that.

And yet it's so stunningly accurate.

"Glee" is a manly show about football

Lea Michele and the cast of Glee were dressed in full pads last night in LA to film sort sort of football scene for the show. And then they beat UCLA by 10.

Gotta love the guy that writes wwtdd.com. Huge LSU fan, but other than that, he's funny as hell.

Apparently Cam got caught for the laptop incident because he was using Limewire. The kid whose laptop was stolen said:

Loschak just wishes Newton hadn't thrown the laptop out of a University of Florida residence hall window.

"I could have had my laptop back fully working. Instead I got a broken, cracked laptop ... with 'Cam Newton' written on top," he said.

So the WAC is now the Sun Belt and the MWC is the WAC+.

Wacky.

The most hated team in college football, the Deleware Blue Hens, is on ESPN2 now. They'll be annihilating New Hampshire tonight.

The most hated team in college football... the Deleware Blue Hens

Yes, they just played Lady GaGa and they also have TWO mascots. Baby Blue will fuck you up.

One of this chicks on the show's brother is UT's backup tight end.

I was on a local television show for about 15 months in Oregon. There's a video related to this photo somewhere!

Also, my Nike band was in the wash.

Pryor seems a bit miffed about being overshadowed by Denard Robinson and Cam Newton and Persa and... well...

"I'll put it like this," Pryor told the newspaper. "You put me in any of their offenses - any of them - and I'd dominate. I'd dominate the nation. What those guys do, that's what they're supposed to do. You put me in any of their offenses, where I can run the ball and have a choice to throw, I would dominate college football."

 

[Cyan]

Pryor seems a bit miffed about being overshadowed by Denard Robinson and Cam Newton and Persa and... well...

If he wanted to play in an offense that utilized his talents, why the fuck did he go to OSU?

 

[bucknuticus]

Took you guys a while to get on this one.

But, I dont have a problem with what Pryor said, he got asked a question and gave a honest answer, and one that is more than likely true. I can honestly see why Pryor is frustrated in a lot of the answers he gives. We see people like Denard and Cam getting all this praise, then we see TP getting shit on a lot, while TP is stilla very good QB. The problem with TP was the hype, he could have won 4 straight bcs champs and 4 straight heismans and still wouldn't have lived up to the hype.

ESPN is also really good at making things seem worse than they are, they quote like politicians on there. In the original article Pryor praised the other QBs, and said he doesnt care about stats, all he cares about is winning.

Was it UDub? I thought it was OSU all this time.

Excuses.

Seriously, there is a lot of awesome things going on in those photos, and congrats for being exponentially more famous than me.

I'm debating if I should go to the Ticket City Bowl.

A couple of my friends are going. I just have to justify a $500 trip that includes airfare, tickets, and a car.

Pretty sure if the won 4 National titles he would have not been overhyped. Or how about a little less hyperbole and just say 1 national title? Dem babies don't grow on trees.

And his point is irrelevant. If he has a problem getting shine at OSU, he shouldn't have gone to OSU. I think we all knew his experience there was generally going to be a more conservative one. But he certainly doesn't have bizarro/alternate universe TP to point to and show how he ACTUALLY would have done at any of those places, so it just reads as bitter tears.

 

[clav]

Read about that yesterday.

Give Pryor a Northwestern offensive line. That would really show if he understands pocket awareness. Persa got a first place vote from someone. That's what ticked him off. :lol

Speaking of Persa, I'd love to see him with a OSU offensive line.

 

[Cyan]

So, I-AA quarterfinals are on ESPN3.

Villanova has a WR named Szczur. Jesus H.

Edit:
What a play! TD Nova!

could be a big day for Louisville with Bridgewater and Eli Rogers visiting during our first game against a top 20 basketball team in our $240 million dollar new arena

Weird they prayed before the Army Navy game.

Gotta give it up to the Army Glee Club that was a solid rendition of the National Anthem. No fancy finagling of it.

 

[bluemax]

Somehow the CBS guys find a way to bring up Greg McElroy during an Army Navy game.

Overlooked for a bowl again! We beat Iowa! Who the hell has Boise State beaten?

Army scores a TD on Navy for the first time in years!

Andrew Luck is an unattractive man.

What are the odds that the two best receivers in America would be from two towns in Oklahoma less than 90 miles away?

Looking forward to seeing Blackmon join Crabtree next year as the only two-time Biletnikoff winner.

AJ Green doesn't play in Oklahoma.

 

[Meier]

A guy who has broken some news multiple times including Urban stepping down last year is saying Muschamp to UF is a done deal and he's on his way to Gainesville now. Guy is a good young coach but I'll be thrilled if this is true. Rather have an unproven guy take over than Stoops or Peterson.

 

[Meier]

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N843DW

This is apparently one of UF's private planes.

 

[jjasper]

If Florida offers/offered Muschamp would have to be an idiot to not take it. But yeah I would rather FL go after someone unproven as a HC.

 

[Battlezone]

LaMichael James never smiles.

 

[bachikarn]

Yeah, not really liking the Mushcamp hire. Would much rather have had Petersen. fuck

Tebow apparently tweeted it so it's probably true
