:lol is it too late for ND to get a refund on Charlie Weiss? Im sorry but he's no better than Ty Willingham.
Sportsline.com game blog is letting ND have it. :lol
"LSU 41 - ND 14 - 4 - 7:27
Well, the story remains the same. This will be nine years in a row without a bowl win for the Irish, as the futility continues. The crowd in the Superdome says it all with an "Overrated!" chant. Perhaps the fans of the Bayou Bengals have hit in square on the head.
LSU 41 - ND 14 - 4 - 7:27
Keiland Williams is into the end zone, as he was mostly untouched. The Tigers are romping the Irish now, as perhaps Notre Dame was a bit overrated. Who exactly did they beat this season to earn their lofty ranking, anyway? They should have to join a conference and earn their way in with a championship just like everyone else. Because it is really fun watching a beat down like this, isn´t it?"

They get on TV and get good ratings because everybody hates them and watches in hopes of seeing them lose and fall on their face and say, haha. I call it the Lakers syndrome.

It was incrediblely satisfying to watch Notre Dame get destroyed by LSU, despite the refs best attempts to screw LSU (however, in a blowout like this, there wasn't much that they could do). If the Raiders don't take Russell with the first pick of the draft, they are completely idiotic. Sure, he has had issues with decision-making in the past, but he's gotten much better over the last two years and will continue to improve in this area in the NFL.
On another note, as you can imagine, I'm not thrilled about Saban's hiring. On one hand, it's great for the conference, for the state, and for the rivalry. On the other hand, I really would like to keep the streak going against Alabama (it's up to five now) and this will probably hurt Auburn a little bit when it comes to recruiting. One thing that Alabama fans need to remember is that a coach who has been historically good does NOT equal instant success, so I wouldn't expect national championships anytime soon.

Lawrence Dawsey to be WR Coach is official now as well. Jimbo seems to be 50/50 at this point... if we lose Steele to Alabama, there are rumors that Chest will be back.

Interesting story by someone that seems to have alot of information behind the scenes on the Shula to Saban deal
Rumortastic!
He also feels that Fisher is 99% going to Bama.

I agree with this post. No pre-season rankings = 2005 Auburn/USC National Championship Game. Also, to anyone saying that Tuberville was bitching in 2004, he had EVERY ****ING RIGHT to bitch in 2004. He is a HUGE supporter of a playoff system so why knock him?
I want the Bucs to take him. Chris Simms and his 2-year extension can blow me.. hope we win the coin toss for the 3rd pick over the Browns.
http://www.wvgazette.com/section/Sports/WVU+Football/200701049?pt=0 -- Rodriguez confirming that Trickett is on his way. Article indicates it will likely be officially announced by the university tomorrow.. let's hope Jimbo Fisher as OC is as well.

NOTRE DAME HAS RETURNED TO GLORY!
So what happens if in his first 3 years he goes 1-2 against Michigan, 0-3 against USC, and 0-3 in bowls? Because I'd say there is a very good chance of that happening.

From what I understand, Jimbo Fisher is a done deal and has removed his name from the running for the Florida St. job (take that Meier). Also, word is that Steele from Florida St. will be coming to be our defensive coordinator. Saban is also supposedly bringing 4 of his assistants from the Dolphins.

Says otherwise. Hard to know for sure, but if he had removed his name from FSU's pool, it certainly would have been posted on Warchant and it hasn't, so I don't believe that bit just yet. Seems 60/40 in favor of FSU to me.
Steele is as good as gone I imagine. His parents live in Tuscaloosa and he'll jump from a positions coach to a coordinator. Joe Kines was FSU's LB Coach in the past, so he might be headed back if Steele comes in.

I disagree. However, he will NOT be the third-best QB in the NFL in three years like fat-ass Weiss claimed. When you have Manning, Brady, McNabb, Brees, Palmer, Bulger as well as up and coming QBs like Rivers, Baby Manning, Romo, Cutler, Young, and Leinert, that is an absolutely ridiculous claim for him to make.

Nah it won't be that bad. More like he's the next Joey Harrington.
Although, I have never defended Tim Couch before ... he shouldn't be lumped in with Ryan Leaf.
In 2002, he led his team to the playoffs (well, he was on his way until he got injured) ... but he put up these stats.
Comp 273
Pass 443
% 61.6
YDS 2846
TDS 18
INT 18
That's a solid year for someone that never had an offensive line or a running back.
REAL recent failures have been Nate Hybl and Rick Mirer. In fact, Quinn reminds me ALOT of Rick Mirer.

He's also using the same notes from his first LSU press conference and the Miami one. I could have given it.
Turns out it was just a teleconference with Rick Trickett discussing his hiring. Nothing yet on Jimbo or Lawrence officially. Kevin Steele has left to be the Alabama DC as well. 
I can only dream about a Jimbo Fisher offense with Rick Trickett's blocking. X Lee and Antone Smith are gonna be superstars (even without Jimbo, having a competent OL coach is gonna be HUGE)!

True. Too many people get caught up on fancy offensive coaches, and forget to notice good OL coaches. To be successful, you NEED good OL play.
Jimbo to FSU is *this close* to being official. WOOHOOOOOOO! Sounds like there will be more info publicly at 4:00 on the Tallahassee sports talk channel if anyone wants to listen in: http://www.1270theteam.com/pages/streaming.html
