Since this offseason sucks.......
BEHOLD! My dinner tonight.
BEHOLD! My dinner tonight.
That looks like a heart attack. Delicious, though.
Oh man, I have to go there. I haven't been to the one they opened here, just the one in Cleveland Heights.

Better hit it up this week if you want all ze bacon!!! only there until friday
So some Duke students have decided to take the tenting tradition for basketball and apply it to football this season, including a few who will tent for the spring game this Saturday. Not sure how successful it will be but it beats walking around the campus drunk in a panda costume I guess.

The fuck? Don't you Dukies know it's still winter? How in the hell are you already having your spring game?
Is this the same as what normal college football fans refer to as "tailgating"?
After reading the link further, it seems to involve cramming as many people as possible into a tent. Okay?

Duke students (as well as students at other schools) are known to camp out in tents for up to several weeks, months even, for big college basketball games in order to secure the best seats. At Duke, they "live" in tents in "Krzyzewskiville" just outside Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Sounds like they're expanding it for football, at least for the night before the game, just as a show of support. It's not quite a matter of "necessity" like it is to gain basketball admission.

My buddy goes to KU and was telling me about thier camping system, and it sounds like the dumbest thing ever. You can get a group as big as you like, and 1 person from your group has to be present at your site from 8am-8pm every day.
Wtf is that? Thats not even camping.
We're not a big bball school but our camping for biggers games is 4 days ahead of time and you have to be there the entire time.
Duke has normal tailgating, but most of that is done by alumni and boosters. The student idea of tailgating was getting shit faced in one random area of campus while wearing a stupid costume, and it never involved the football game. It will be interesting to see student turnout this year.
The mods locked this when it was its own thread, but I think it's semi relevant enough to post to CFB age http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/p/48518577/Roadkill-for-Mama.aspx

Like a scene off The Waterboy. Was it on the DVD bonus features?

oh gotcha. I was confused because the OP by the GAFer had no source so I assumed it could be original content.
I'm referring to this link as the one I saw originally
ahhh, I got you. I didn't even see that.
I guess I just don't understand roundball or why someone would camp out for multiple days for a roundball game.

Western Carolina has a higher sagarin than Southern Miss? I was surprised at first, but the last couple years have been really bad for Southern Miss. Not sure how WCU has been doing on the FCS level...

Florida sitting at 113, that INCLUDES fsu on their schedule.

When Prince turned into a symbol, people referred to him as "artist formerly known as Prince". I think the same principal can be applied here until an official term is coined. "power conference" may still apply, but its all up in the air
Numbers are kind skewed with "amount of OOC games"
13 Missouri South Dakota St ; at Toledo ; UCF ; Indiana
107 Kansas State Stephen F. Austin ; Auburn ; UTEP
nearly 100 spots different, but is that right? UCF and a bad B1G school (and 2 nobodies) versus Auburn (and 2 nobodies)?
UCF had a great year, but we don't know how they'll be without the QB. Versus a (ugghhh...) young Auburn team coming off a national championship loss.

Earlier this week, we brought you some of Oklahomas more ridiculous self-reported possible NCAA violations. Now its Ohio States turn.
According to documents provided to Cleveland.com, Ohio State self-reported a violation after Urban Meyer gave the phone to Tim Tebow to speak with a recruit. According to the Buckeyes, Clifton Garrett called Meyer (which is allowed) while Meyer was having lunch with a few friends and one of his most famous former players.
Garrett asked Coach Meyer if he could wish Tebow good luck on the upcoming season. Coach Meyer handed the phone to Tebow and Garrett conversed with Tebow for approximately eight seconds. Coach Meyer stated that no recruiting conversation occurred, there was no intent to have Tebow recruit on behalf of Ohio State and he, in fact, did not recruit on behalf of Ohio State.

UCF 34 OOC schedule? Reasonable.
We'll also be very formidable this year. Really good QB prospects. Plus our defense gets even better this year. Going to be a sick secondary.
We have a good shot at the conference and access bowl slot I think.

Well that won't get you to Ireland. You should buy a boat!
But seriously, it is a strange game to be played in Ireland. A Notre Dame game vs. "X" opponent is understandable, but UCF vs. Penn State? Seems odd
GoldenEye 007
Member
Yeah, it is weird. The original series was a standard home/home that PSU wasn't going to honor. So I think there began talk to do something different with the game. For some reason the Ireland organizers were willing to talk and pay a bunch to bring us there. I think UCF will make well over a million from the game.
Also had the O'Leary vs. O'Brien angle, but of course O'Brien left.
Florida can't even beat cupcakes anymore, noted Pac-2420590 homer Jeff Sagarin should have accounted for that before ranking them so low.
Let me know when they rank total SOS and not just non-conference.

That Missouri ranking is positively bizarre. FSU below them despite Okie State, Notre Dame and UF? Come on, Sags!

Here's the breakdown
Oklahoma State: 13
Notre Dame: 28
Florida: 53
Citadel: 168
avg rating = 65.5
Here's the numbers they are using if you want to find out your teams full SOS for the upcoming year. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/
perfectchaos007

It's not that complicated, dudes. They're looking at each school's 2013 Sagarin rating (this isn't something the noted Pac-25 homer is doing himself, they're just using his numbers), and then averaging them. A low-ranked school is going to pull you way down.
This is probably not the best way of looking at SOS.
Hey, at least it temporarily woke up some slumbering posters on this thread. We went over 24 hours without a post at one point this week, and we desperately needed something to discuss/debate.

The McNair case is hilarious to follow. In their desperation to keep the records sealed, the NCAA is willing to throw anybody under the bus... including the NCAA itself:
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoo...se-shouldnt-mean-unsealing-investigative-file
"Sure, we lied, made tons of errors, are completely incompetent and overtly hostile to the defendant. But that doesn't mean he has a case!"
The best part:
Of course, the NCAA doesn't believe anybody should get in trouble for things they "should have known," right? Oh, wait.
Also, Pete was back on campus yesterday and gave some quotes talking about the amazing "venom" the committee had for USC.

"Sure, we lied, made tons of errors, are completely incompetent and overtly hostile to the defendant. But that doesn't mean he has a case!"
The best part:
Of course, the NCAA doesn't believe anybody should get in trouble for things they "should have known," right? Oh, wait.
Also, Pete was back on campus yesterday and gave some quotes talking about the amazing "venom" the committee had for USC.

Maybe we'll get lucky and have a player poop in somebody's closet again this summer.
There's also the deluge of documents released from the Ed O'Bannon/NCAA case, that make it obvious that the NCAA knew about the "likenesses" of players being used in the NCAA games.

Each point broken down. #2 is lol-worthy, because I know Alabama more or less did the Cease and Desist-cover your ass routine with that T-Town Menswear story from a couple years ago.
#3 is Nessler, the announcer for the game, recorded tons of last names, especially the ones for known players. Now, you'd figure yeah, Smith/Jones/Johnson/WIlliams and all the "often used" names would be in there, but some of the rarer ones are in there too.

Duke tried that and got blown out, so no more Alabama's and Stanfords for a while. Granted, at the time Duke scheduled KU for a home an home was 3 coaches ago, KU was a better team. Troy was a last minute addition and had just come off a bowl the year prior and Tulane went to a bowl last year. Elon sucks so year Duke SHOULD go 4-0, beat crappy WF and get a couple of other wins somewhere (UVA, Cuse maybe?) 7-5 and bowlin' again!

For all the criticism the NCAA gets, I don't understand how schools haven't replaced it. They have the ability.
After all, the NCAA is made up of the schools themselves.

As we've been suspecting for a little while it looks like Michael Brewer is transferring to Virginia Tech.
