Charles Barkley trying to sing the UGA fight song after the loss to Auburn is the best thing I've seen this week.

Remember to negotiate for a percentage of the available bias.
That would have been "I have no dawg in this fight."

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
GT hates a lot of the SEC schools because they were big rivals back in the day when they all regularly played each other like Bama and Auburn.
Wish we played those schools more. I went to the last GT Auburn game at Auburn. Was an extremely fun trip!

SEC schools already take enough grief for weak OOC schedules, though.
That's awesome. I didn't realize they had played Auburn 92 times and annually all the way until 1987.
I wonder what our rivalry with Tech would be like if they hadn't left the SEC.
Well played. At least Tech is ranked now so if we beat them it would be another quality win.

Auburn to scared to play us since we went to the plains and whooped that ass at their house on opening day after their undefeated season. They want no part of us anymore. lol

The Tech fans that are over 50 years old still hate plenty of SEC teams. Younger Tech fans couldn't care less about Alabama.

Ba hahahahaha. Please make him your problem, Florida. We'd love to get him out of that stupid contract our AD made for him.

Still eager to run off the one coach that's accomplished anything slightly useful since Danny Ford, I see.
Though if Clemson elevates (and therefore keeps) Chad Morris, perhaps it would work out.

Ideally we could get rid of Dabo and elevate either Chad Morris or Venebles to HC. I'd be ok with that. Then they could clean house in the S&C dept. and also maybe be more serious about recruiting offensive linemen.
Except if you beat them they will no longer be ranked and will automatically become a nobody cupcake and will make your schedule look worse.
I agree about Swinney. And bumping a coordinator to head coach is never a sure thing. Hell, getting a coach from somewhere else isn't a sure thing. Head coaching changes are at best a 50/50 chance that you'll get a good one that fits with your program and is capable of being a head coach.
Swinney is an above average coach for Clemson, though. You have a much better chance at landing a coach worse than Swinney than you do of one being better than him.
The same goes for UGA and Richt. I've argued with Enron before about getting rid of Richt. He's one of the best coaches we've ever had.

Honestly, I'll take this over the Iowa and Wisconsin trophies.
ACC Network would be sweet if you're into college sports outside of football. The ACC is ridiculous in baseball, and women's soccer and volleyball are also very good in the conference if they air that kinda stuff. I would get the ACC Network in a second if it enabled me to watch most FSU baseball games outside of Tallahassee local television.
So, found this in an ESPN article:

Oh Jimbo, don't you know that Tech doesn't do chop blocks, ever? And that cut blocks are perfectly legal and never injure anyone?

I don't know man. Those 10 win seasons were pretty fun. On the other hand Dabo does make a lot of stupid mistakes. Probably wouldn't happrn though.
I'm actually hoping Muschamp ends up at FSU. We have an opening at DC, and Muschamp's a hell of a DC. I would welcome him with open arms.
Conversely, Jimbo and Muschamp are good friends. Both the Fisher's and the Muschamp's share a timeshare beach home in Pensacola, and I think they were both on Saban's LSU staff back in the day.
COME TO US, WILL. COME TO THE DARK SIDE.

I'd hope we get it "free" in the ACC footprint. Here in Charlotte, we have SEC Network on TWC, and there's no SEC team in the state.
I wonder about the logistics of it, though. I can't site a source, but the split I've seen for college sports revenue is like 80/20 football/basketball. But you can look around the ACC and see a lot of half-filled (or completely empty, in the case of Miami) football stadiums week to week. Will the eyeballs be there to make a television network worthwhile?
I guess it wouldn't hurt revenue, it just remains to be seen how much additional revenue it would generate.
I've been hearing rumors about him going to Sakerlina or Auburn as DC. Neither of which would make me happy. He's a great DC, I'd like him to leave the conference. Starting the petition for Muschamp to Michigan or FSU.

This is awesome.
He'll come to Alabama and be our Special Teams coach, cause hey, why the hell not.
I'm already having a hard time emotionally processing this concept.

The good thing is that I'm not a coach and don't have to motivate players to deal with constant cut blocks.
Brian Kelly's ok with Scissor lifts in Gail wind conditions, too.

Players who cry about it are certainly one thing. They are pansies, but at least they are dealing with the actual blocks themselves. Fans on the internet who cry about them are just complete crybabies with nothing else to talk about.

I would not quote Kelly when discussing topics of student safety anymore than I would put James Winston on a panel to investigate ways to prevent sexual assault on college campuses.
I can always correctly spell incorrectly spelled words. It's a talent.

Kelly is a politician. He says those things because they sound good, but if he had his choice he would never play a triple option team.

Nobody here has anything against smash mouth football. It's just as you're getting smashed in the mouth, we'd like your knees to not get blown out.
Affeinvasion

No, because no team in a major college football conference actively practices chop blocking.
yellowjacket25

Give me a break. You cry on a daily basis about legal blocking schemes that have been a part of "smash mouth football" for many years. Go ahead and petition the NCAA to get rid of all violent contact. It will be better for the little girls on your team who can't handle real football.
yellowjacket25
Member
You should. You don't want your team to get hurt, right? Think about the safety of those poor defenseless souls out there. There should be rules though, like not touching too hard when making the two hand touch. We don't want one of those beefed up steroid monsters to get a bruise on their back or anything.
You are being insufferable.

Sorry, if you want to keep complaining about legal blocking schemes because there is a chance a player could get injured then you are going to get called out for crying. Football is a rough sport. If your players can't handle it then get new players or disband the team. Crying usually doesn't solve much.
