Just so everyone knows, today is the 32nd anniversary of the death of the Greatest Coach in the history of Coaches (Dead or Drunk), Paul "Bear" Bryant.
As SBnation pointed out, in this 1973 video, Bear is 60 years old, 3 years younger than Pete Carroll and Nick Saban
Who knew a life filled with Cigarettes and hard booze would age you quicker, while also making you the best football coach dat ever dern lived.
Have a Coke and Chips on the Bear today.
I had to look up golden flake because I just assumed it was a brand that folded before I was born.
I just learned that its brand native to Alabama and is still going strong today. I also watched a non-narrated tour of their factory for some reason. . Video starts to get real good at 6:15 when they put their chip bags through a wind tunnel for no reason, then a fat ass potato struggles to get through the conveyor which was comedic to me.
I remember the brand from when I lived in Georgia, but also because all the SEC beat writers make a big deal about how all they get at SEC Media Days is a bunch of bags of these chips.
Bear with the important tip. Always be sure to call home to Mama, cause one day she'll be dead, and then you can't.
Bear would have keeled over if someone showed him a cell phone.
I'll admit it, I never have liked the taste of Golden Flakes. Was always the "cheap" brand to me. I have brought shame to my heritage.

John Burt decommited from Texas a few weeks ago, but recommited to Texas today! And yeah it looks like according to this fan edit that TExas wants Brossette OR Chris Warren. Washington can take the other

just know you're supporting dem Auburn Tiga's.
I agree, the texture was always strange and the taste is weird and tastes like chemicals.
Ha, I think Yellawood advertises on all the team broadcasts now.
The Raiders are looking into bringing on Todd Grantham as their defensive coordinator.

ESPN and NFL are trying to get the CFB playoff games moved

NFL playoffs need to stay the way they are.

Considering the CFP first 2 games had better ratings the the NFL playoff games the same weekend I'm not really surprised.

From the pics that make you laugh community
College football on a Saturday? Crazy talk.
Besides stepping on the toes of Herr Goodell, the idea is that the game should get a few days of sole focus. A weekend game means everyone is talking about the NFL games. A Monday game means everyone is talking about the NFL games that were played that weekend. A Wednesday game gets everyone talking about it and nothing else on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.
Sure, it doesn't matter to the diehards, but you want the most attention possible.

UCF is building a party deck. I knew using UCF as my team in my Bizarro NCAA dynasty was the correct choice.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It sucks because if you go by the ratings the most popular two sports deals in the USA are the NFL and then CFB. It can happen obviously, but damn I wonder what the ratings and hype for CFB would be if it was always played when the NFL wasn't also going concurrently.
Your school is one SEC scheduling vote away from doing it so I wouldn't talk too bad about.

Sorry, Sosa Jamobo is going to the University of Phoenix.
Yeah, Locksley will probably be the only QB in Texas 2015 class if he flips.

Its down to them or ITT Tech apparently. I really dislike the trend of recruits trolling everyone. They seem to enjoy making old alumni of various universities hang on their every word. I guess since they can't accept money it's the only satisfaction they can get
Nothing would change for us, we play Georgia Tech already. I would assume if the SEC did something like this that it would be an option for schools if they didn't want to schedule a true out of conference, power 5 game.

Daishon Neal said Michigan coaches told him that without football, he wouldnt be able to go to Michigan. Neals dad said visit ended there.

Tennessee commit, Preston Williams, attended his offical visit at Auburn this last week wearing Tennessee gear and was trying to recruit others there to join him at Tennessee. He was asked to leave early.

That kid has balls
Even Nebraska fans have commented that Neal's family is overly dramatic.

Look,
We are all super creepers following 17 year olds on Twitter.
We deserve to be trolled.
All of us.
I think Locksley is coming to UT.
I don't think that Murray is actually coming, and I don't know that you can let him be your old QB taken in any case since he may wind up in MLB sooner rather than later.
That said, Assuming Hill and Boyd come to Texas and we get Mack and 2 of the RBs I'll be super happy with this class (but we NEED a QB, like yesterday)
I'd like Brosette, he seems like a great kid going through a lot. That said, I think his mother's health is going to keep him at LSU, and I don't blame him for it at all.
I think we get Soso and Warren.
If SEC did away with permanent rivals you don't think UGA and Auburn would schedule yearly "OOC" on years they weren't scheduled to play?
Oh sure. I don't see that happening though.
I don't follow them, because it is insanely creepy and thus welcome the trolling.
True, though there is a degree of separation in that I don't follow them. I follow the recruiting guys who obsess over their every move because it's their job.
And it's really hilarious seeing people get themselves overworked by these tweets, like they matter more than the games themselves.

Coach tells truth, parents offended.
Me neither. I just read the $9.95 updates.
Most of these athletes couldn't get into these schools if it weren't for being an athlete. I don't think telling them that is something that is appropriate.

I suspect it was more a bumbled attempt to prop up UM's academics than to insult the kid. Or like I just read on Twitter, "Mattison has probably said the same thing to a hundred recruits before, this kid is just entitled."

I don't think there's a nice way of saying "You're not smart enough to get into our school, it's a good thing you can play football."
That's why you bring Cardale Jones with you to say it.
