Yeah I did, Richt is still pissed about Ole Miss recruitment of Tunsil. I wonder how his girlfriend's scholarship is working out. 800 Facebook messages to him and 400 to his girlfriend still blows my mind.

Clarett said ESPN 1st approached him about doing a bash Ohio State film before he did the 30 for 30. He told them to get lost.
Interesting, really don't like that the networks have too much influence on this stuff right now (Fox being pro BIG, and ESPN being SECSECSEC).

I don't really see how that ties into the ESPNSEC thing. Clarett got into some shit at tOSU and they wanted an expose style thing. Not too surprising for a media outlet to want to do that.

Duke just went back-to-back in men's lacrosse. 3rd title in 5 years.

Cool chart. He's telling us what we already know, the NFL is very diverse regarding height and weight.

Apparently the bama/MSU series fell through because bama wanted a home vs neutral site game and refused to go East Lansing.

Not believing that.

What the twitter verse is saying, or at least Bama didnt want a home/home only would do neutral. Conflicting reports if it was home vs neutral or just a neutral.
I'm more believing in the thought that Alabama wanted to go from a 2 year home and home, to a 1 year neutral game, to either give more variety in opponents or to keep from scheduling a dud and getting stuck with another game against that dud (see Penn State a few years ago).
Our recent OOC games look nice on name, but they've mostly ended up having crummy years:
2008 Clemson 7-6 - started #9
2009 VT 10-3 (not bad) - started #7
2010 Penn State 7-6 (now 0-6) - started #18
2011 Penn State 9-4 (now 0-4) - started #23
2012 Michigan 8-5 - Started #8
2013 VT 8-5 - started unranked
Now we've got WVU this year, who a couple years ago was a solid team under a hot coach, and now that's changed (7-6 and 4-8 last 2 years). But hey, they're a high powered offense, I'm sure they'll win.
Think next year is Wisconsin, and then 2016 is the rumored USCw matchup (filling in for said Michigan State game.)

I'd watch that.
Whoever beats us by the bigger score gets to lay claim to USC.

Could be the case. Im not a fan at all of neutral games, leave the lackluster atmospheres to the NFL where it belongs. Always been a fan of the home and home, gives me a reason to go see a game at another big time school. Going to Austin for the OSU UT game was super awesome. I dont think I would want to go to Dallas or the likes for a game though.
Agreed, home and home is the best.
Don't try to tag along on USC's little wagon. UT was, is, and always will be the University of Tampa.
From the horse's mouth:
Seems like we wanted to go from a home and home to one neutral-site game.

Bama should change their name to the Yella Tide. Saban's satanic spells don't work above the Mason-Dixon line.
Maybe Gata scheduling practices rubbed off on Saban during his time in Florida.
Besides California and Bowl games, not seeing alot of games below the Mason Dixon line for ND.
Last time OSUn went below is the last time Alabama went above.
SURPRISE! Teams like to stay in their region.
If Chicago had a domed stadium, I'd bet it be a big spot like Atlanta. Massive airport hub and all.
Apparently Indianapolis is so horrible, it's never brought up as a neutral site game.

My guess is that Indy just isn't a college football city. They've hosted the Super Bowl, so it's not like they don't have the facilities.

The area surrounding Lucas oil is pretty great, although when we went to b1g champ all the bars were severely understaffed, don't think they expected such crowds. But downtown Indy is pretty good for a football Saturday. Still don't want neutral site games

Florida coach Will Muschamp wants to avoid playing teams from the Football Championship Subdivision.
After losing to Georgia Southern, they'll now try to schedule D-II.

Strangely enough we are playing a neutral site game at Lucas Oil next year...along with games in Tallahassee, Tempe, and Los Angeles. Calling ND's schedule "regional" compared to most SEC schools is laughable. Especially in 2015 once the ACC games really start to happen.
"And I think our fan base wants to see better opponents," he added.
Go Gata
Non-FSU ACC team? Pffffft.
If we scheduled them, they'd probably suck again by the time we got around to playing them. Notre Dame is always overrated but it'll still be a great game and a matchup I'd love to see.
McGarity did say there are two other big schools on the east coast on standby if this falls through.
It would be funnier if that were Mark Emmert instead of Mike Slive.
Nah, Skipper would be wearing carolina blue! The conferences are segmenting between the big sports channels though, and its kinda intriguing to watch.
I mean fox did break up the big east, after Louisville left. Its not just Espn's hands who are dirty.
I kind of want one, just so I can get a sharpie and cross out everything but the power G.

I guess so, the sport is just changing so much. Big media is bringing in so much money to the conferences, schools are spending crazy amounts of money to keep up with each other, recruiting is a 365/24/7 business now, it's just crazy. The sport has changed so much in the last twenty years.
Try last four years.

Part of this was the Pac 10 was undervalued, but a good amount of this is due to Larry Scott. He's earning his keep.
True, SEC has seen similar growth in revenues. I'm assuming that with the new SEC channel that the revenues are going to keep growing.

Harvey Updyke has really let himself go since he moved to Texas.

ROLL TIDE MOTHERFUCKERS! WOO!
ROLL TIDE MOTHERFUCKERS! WOO!
That's like saying where it really counts is in the NFL...
But I understand why a Georgia fan would want to de-emphasize college-level performances.
