Sounded like Charlie Collins would have been a better fit, but who knows...So word is our new WR Coach is Wes Chandler. Great player... back in the day.
Not sure if want.
Yeah, recruits sounded pretty excited about him. Oh well.Sounded like Charlie Collins would have been a better fit, but who knows...
Seriously. :/By the way, did you see the lovely basketball news today? The hits keep coming. I can't wait for this week to be over.
Word has it that a former USC WR (5-star recruit) has transferred to Northwestern.
Wow.
Damn, not too happy about Venables to Clemson. Sure, he's not as good as Mike Stoops was but he's a damn good DC. Of course, Steele was before he went there too so who knows.
Why is FSU in the Top 10?
Interesting piece from the NY Times
Penn State’s Trustees Recount Painful Decision to Fire Paterno
Firing Paterno over the phone was dumb (and cowardly), but I give the PSU trustees a lot of credit for how they've handled this. So far, they've done pretty much everything that needed to be done. It just sucks that the students and alumni are being so retarded.

@RobbieAndreu: This is the first time since 2004 that Florida has not had an underclassman declare for the NFL Draft.
Go Gata
They're coming back for a championship.
To build you up to ridiculous ideas that you will contend for the national title, so the fall will be that much sweeter. The tears after losing to Duke or something will cure illness and extend life.
Sorry, but that is your current lot in life.
Same reason they are every year? Fertile recruiting ground, weak conference, a modicum of history.
Surprised ND isn't in his list.
Being champs of the state of Florida doesn't really mean much when FSU and Miami are both pretty down.
Insert overly stated: being the champ of florida is huge primarily for recruiting. When your state has the highest amount of nationwide recruits per capita (aka the recuiting mecca) it matters that you are making an impression to these local high schoolers.

With it being such a good recruiting state, I don't think the advantage or disadvantage is that great. Meaning, there's plenty of great recruits to go around, you can only sign so many. I don't think any of the big 3 FL teams will ever really be hurting for recruits, their problems are usually with coaching.

No, it still means nothing.

Has he talked about how it feels to being so drunk as to get sexually violated without putting up a fight?
And by sexually violated, I mean of course mean eating at Krystal, not getting teabagged.

A South Carolina BOT member has asked SEC to change rules and weight intra-division games one game and cross-division games as a half. 1/2
NEW ORLEANS—During a postgame ceremony Monday in which the Bowl Championship Series controversially awarded the Alabama Crimson Tide the 2012 NCAA championship trophy, the increasingly unpopular selection system proceeded to endorse Rick Santorum for president; spit on Samuel Carson, an 89-year-old World War II veteran holding the American flag for the ceremony; and then kick Carson's wife Rose down the stairs of the trophy-presentation platform.
"As we present Alabama with the national championship—despite the fact that they just defeated a team that beat them in their home stadium earlier this season—we have only one regret: that our great friend, Osama bin Laden, could not be here to see this," the BCS's statement following the Sugar Bowl read in part. "Congratulations to the Crimson Tide football team. Also, the BCS hates blacks, Latinos, and Asians."
"And gays," it continued. "We do, however, love the Taliban."
In an announcement earlier this year that it would award the national championship to whichever team emerged victorious from the BCS Championship Game—blatantly neglecting worthy teams such as one-loss Oklahoma State—the BCS also called for tax increases on the working class, open-pit strip-mining in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the resumption of unrestricted whaling in the Pacific Ocean.
Moreover, the BCS said it supports Sharia law, hopes everyone gets cancer, and considered awarding the national championship to Notre Dame just to see the look on everyone's "stupid, fat-fuck face."
"Alabama, in achieving this victory against another SEC team from their own division, even though they did not even qualify for their own conference championship game, has shown they are true BCS champions," the organizer of five bowl matchups announced on its website Tuesday morning. "They deserve it more than anyone! Also, Adolph Hitler had some really good ideas."
With many critics saying this season more than any other has highlighted the problems inherent in the bowl system, BCS officials claimed that kids should always be struck with leather belts if they get even slightly out of line, and that arguments will always be part of the culture of college football.
"Debate over who 'deserves' the national championship will never die, unlike these tiny 2-day-old kittens I am crushing in my fists," BCS spokesman Charles Campbell said. "In a way, you can never really determine a national champion in college football any more than you can rape a woman who dresses in a short skirt and high heels. It just isn't realistically possible."
Defenders of the current system point to the fact that the BCS computer has numerically proven Alabama is the undisputed national champion, as can be verified in detailed documents that also reportedly refute global climate change, provide a workable economic plan based on a national policy of child slavery, and outline a solution for global thermonuclear war that would allow what it called an "acceptable" survivability rate of 9 percent for the East Coast of North America.
Still, anger and confusion over the BCS remain.
"Naturally people have a right to be upset with what the BCS has done here, between its picking Alabama, declaring the era of Japanese internment to be a shining moment in American history, and saying James Earl Jones should be murdered execution-style," ESPN football analyst Kirk Herbstreit said. "At the very least, it's time to tweak the system again."
"You have to admit," Herbstreit added, "any selection system that gives three-loss Wisconsin a top-10 ranking is absolutely detestable."

The Public Policy Polling survey shows Dewhurst with 36 percent, Cruz, a former Texas solicitor general, at 18 percent, and Leppert at 7 percent.
James, who formally launched his campaign last week, draws 4 percent support. The former SMU Mustang and New England Patriot running back is struggling to overcome two liabilities: hes largely unknown and hes unpopular among those who know him.
...
James has a slightly higher name ID than Cruz 30 percent to 29 percent but most people who know him dont like him. He has an 11 percent positive rating and 19 percent negative. Among fans of his alma mater, SMU, he is liked by 23 percent and disliked by 29 percent. He does particularly poorly among Texas Tech fans: 14 percent positive and 26 percent negative.
Few days old, but Craig James' Senate campaign is off to a rough start:

Anecdotally, even the Tech fans that are glad we got rid of Leach and think we're better off without him can't stand James. I don't know how he even got to 11% positive overall, much less 14% positive among Tech fans.
Is this South Carolina hoping to compete with Georgia and their "no Alabama/LSU/Arkansas" policy?

Big recruiting weekend coming up for the Pokes. Competing with Tennessee, OU, Aggy and others for a few recruits. Hoping that Gundy's extension and our Fiesta Bowl win will pay dividends right away.
Also, I will :jnc if DGB picks Texas so he can go catch passes from David Ash.
I bet the dude who reported it to Michigan currently has a daughter attending UM.I feel sorry for Yuri Wright.
This article comes out: http://www.chatsports.com/michigan-...why-Michigan-stopped-recruiting-him-10-2-1807.
The kid becomes national news. It's not as if he's done anything that seems really bad to my eyes. He just made some stupid tweets. Being a 17-year old kid, that comes with the territory.
Now, the only offer on the table for this Rivals100 Army All-American corner might be from Colorado.
Even Penn State is backing off.
