He was the best thing to happen to that franchise since the reboot.
Really like that veteran QB signing that Jerry made yesterday, btw.
Also, wrong. Joe Thomas.
Two playcallers? What could possibly go wrong?

David Ash is listed as a senior so he may not be getting that redshirt from last year. Jordan Hicks was listed as a Junior during spring 2013 in anticipation of his redshirt so I'm assuming the staff doesn't feel confident Ash will get one.
I can get the OOC losses. Just like with Gotfried, it's the SEC schedule that's so frustrating. Not a single SEC road win.

Today I learned this: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_the_Incarnate_Word is an actual school that Baylor will play in football in 2019.
If you're employed by a nonprofit entity your wages are taxable, that's pretty cut and dry.
The other benefits could possibly pass the excessive threshold and become taxable compensation too, idk I don't have a lot of experience with fields in which employees require a great deal of care to perform their duties.
You guys have already been recruiting them, there was a limit of 20%, now it's up to Paul Johnson how many he wants to recruit because ultimately he's got to meet his graduation numbers like everyone else. I know you want to get your digs in, but one thing isn't necessarily related to the other.
And yeah, these kids are idiots. I do wonder where they got this idea from, and how many times it's happened at other schools who have handled it internally (an NCAA violation).

We have been getting an average of 3 per year for a while. The 20% was more of a cap than anything. It wasn't always filled. The news that we have reduced the cap is certainly encouraging but I doubt it's going to change much. We aren't going to start recruiting the Isaiah Crowells or Caleb Kings of the world. Not only would it hurt us APR wise but any drop in the recent positive graduation results and our administration is going to clamp down again like they did after O'Leary left. Paul Johnson has more flexibility now but also has a fine line to walk.
Doesn't really matter at this point. If he has another season like the last, he's gone.
FSU's Ira Denson got arrested for illegal use of a credit card and petty theft. Stole credit card from teammate and went out and bought some shoes and gas with it.

I'm not so sure about that. He has a large buyout and the support of some big money alumni and winning 7 games at a school that usually wins 7 games probably isn't going to ruffle feathers too much. A few fans will make noise but I can't see him being fired unless he wins 5 games or less. Especially with Notre Dame and FSU on the schedule in 2015.
You're right, I thought he was only under contract until through 2014 or 2015, didn't realize it was $7.5 million through 2016. Holy shit, what a horrible contract for the school.
The conference is pretty bad with the exception of FSU and Clemson, and Clemson will be in transition next year with losing so many key players. 7 wins is probably doable against this schedule. I'm not seeing FSU or ND on there. Anything less than 8 wins seems pretty disappointing to me on that schedule.

We're talking about a network that broadcasts coverage of UT graduation ceremonies and various pep rallies. No event is too minor or boring to air.

FSU and ND are on the schedule in 2015. I was saying that the 2015 schedule might be a consideration for whether CPJ gets fired or not after 2014. If he is fired after 2014 then we will be bringing in a new coach who will have to completely rebuild the team with players who don't fit traditional schemes against one of the hardest and most exciting schedules we have had in years. We might not win 4 games.
If he had never left FSU, then he would have been there to mentor those young men, thus preventing this from ever happening.
Edit: also Georgia would have hired Nick Saban from MSU, rather than LSU, and he would have stayed in Athens rather than testing the NFL waters. Georgia would have 8 more national championships now if it weren't for Mark Richt.

I participate in this one regularly and check out random OT things and some on gaming side. Gaming side is dangerous so it have to watch my sarcasm there.

Schiano was hanging around practice today in osu gear.....
He's good friends with Saban, he's actually an amazing dc and I'd kinda freak out if you got him in that position.
He was Miami's DC when Miami was Miami.
FIFY
Why not do what every other person does and leave everything except the interest threads?
Normal trajectory for posting here: Start everywhere---> then move to just the OT------> then to just the sport/movie/politics/etc.
Also sounds like SECSEC is moving to 9 games with a 6-2-1 set up which is nice. Hopefully that plus the playoffs weight OOC games means this 1-AA bullshite has died.

Is that actually happening? Link?
Looks like Alvin Kamara may end up at UGA next year. Honestly, not sure I want him with what was rumored during his time at Bama. We don't need any guys with toxic attitudes. He'd have a decent shot at playing since Gurley will likely be gone after this year, but he'd have to beat out AJ Turman, Nick Chubb, and Sony Michel as well as Brendon Douglas (aka white Adrian Peterson aka holy shit a white RB).
I'm skeptical that the UGA, UF, and USCe's AD's will be as on board as he is. We all have an additional BCS game in our ACC annual opponents that Tennessee does not have. While I support a 9 game SEC schedule, those AD's are going to fight it tooth and nail. What it will come down to is money. Are they going to be able to get more money out of ESPN by doing this? We'll see. I don't expect this to take effect until 2016, at the earliest.
That is three out of 14 schools it really doesn't matter what they think they don't have enough schools on their side. And yeah they will be able to change their TV contracts with the extra game. (The dropping the shitty OOC games was purely speculative because of the SOS component of the playoffs). Also UGA is most likely stuck having to choose between playing 8 games without Auburn or 9 with Auburn.
Muahahaha. Sorry, Cyan.
8 without Auburn will not happen. I'd rather drop our games vs Tennessee or Kentucky or South Carolina before that. All of those are young rivalries and nothing in comparison to a rivalry that extends over 100 years. 9 with Auburn will happen, eventually, I just don't see it happening in the next couple years.
Good!
Extra conference game will be more entertaining to watch than some 1-AA creampuff anyway.
It's going to happen if for nothing else than the extra content for the sec network. I also like the idea of a 9 game setup because it would mean we would play the opposite division more often. Right now we could go up to 4+ years w/o playing certain teams in the other division.
Because we are new to the SEC there is actually that desire to want to go visit some of those places (unlike the big12) and sec fans in general travel to more away games. Been wanting to go see a game at Tennessee or Georgia but neither one is even on the schedule at all yet.

Nick Saban will block the initiative.
Bama will play 1 "good" OOC team at a neutral site and 3 cupcakes at home per year and you're going to deal with it!
...
Okay but for real, if they move to a 3 game OOC schedule, are SEC teams more likely to cut out a cupcake or the token 1 "good" OOC opponent from their future schedules? That's my question
