The Comic Sans sums up everything about Michigan worth summing. Bravo.
Just looked it up. None. Muschamp is 0-2 when holding opponents to less than 120 total yards.
This video is awesome: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=738616302842743 -- GoPro video of the dude parachuting in with the game ball for the game the other night.
Sup Frag! I think if Rix wasn't saddled with Jeff, he'd have been an NFL player. I'm not going to say he'd have been a star or anything necessarily, but Jimbo would have got him drafted and he'd have had a much more successful college career. He had all the talent in the world and he certainly had the measureables and the tools.. he just had no direction from the coaching staff.
I can't believe I had to deal with this shit my entire time in Tallahassee even after finishing school. >:*(

Will Muschamp has demolished our program. Clearly this was a Georgia plot all along.
I honestly feel like this yards/points thing is super misleading. They gave up 4 different return TDs! They allowed 245 yards of returns on just the scoring returns. Missouri had 103 yards of INT returns, 96 yards of kick returns and 101 yards of punt returns.
Pruitt is obviously super ambitious.. have to think he'll only be at UGA for a few years at most before taking a HC job somewhere. But who knows, maybe he'll be the next Kirby Smart.
Despite a few spelling errors by the creator, this is one of the best meltdown collections you'll ever see. Beautiful.

If he had used an instrumental version of mad world and then piped those comments through a text to speech program it would be comedy gold.
One thing about that play-the way it is drawn up, you're going to have six players (three on defense, three on offense) all piled up in a relatively short area. Given the crucible of the situation, is it really surprising that something on the play went clusterfuck? Honestly it seems to me that , based on the way they lined up and the amount of relevant field to work with, some sort of penalty is likely to assured on one side of the other.
Am I completely wrong about this? Every time I watch the replay of the offensive PI call at the end of the game I think "ok, ND coach put a three bullets in a six shooter and hoped for the best".

That's offensive play calling for you. Brian Kelly called the best game of his life. He set up that fourth down play with the previous play and then executed. It's not his fault that the ref called a penalty that is rarely ever called on the goal line. There's less space to maneuver and more grabbing on both sides which rarely results in defensive holding and even more rarely results in offensive pass interference. More importantly the actions of the offensive players didn't matter. The defense was playing the bootleg qb keeper and didn't have the receiver who caught the ball covered from the beginning. It would have been a touchdown regardless. That's the xs and os of the situation. The penalty is up to the referees discretion but you'd have to poll a huge number of offensive play callers before you'd find one who wouldn't call that play in that situation especially after it was set up by the previous looks and formations.
I agree, he'll be gone in 3 years if not well before that. After next season is my guess.

Notre Dame fans are just going to have to let it go. There's no one that I've heard in national media that has said that was anything other than an illegal play. I was listening to Mike Golic and Cris Carter discuss it on the way into work this morning, for example. Both agreed that the call was right. Both also agreed that Florida State had terrible miscommunication on defense for that play and would have been scorched, too, but the receivers didn't execute the picks correctly (for which, they blamed the coaches) (on the FSU side, they said the corners weren't on the same page regarding if they were playing man or zone, and they should have been playing zone on that play for that formation). For what it's worth, it was either Carter or Golic who also pointed out that the same situation not being flagged in the first half is what led to it being called at the end, as the coaches spoke to the refs and alerted them to it. If they weren't watching for it, it likely would have been missed again.
Either way, it doesn't matter. Notre Dame is in the playoff if they win out. There's no chance they'll be left out if the Florida State game is their only loss. None. Heck, they'll probably be put in a semifinal rematch with the Seminoles (if Florida State makes it).
Not on Kelly but the wrs have to act better. Don't forget Fisher was in the ears of the refs to look at picks right before that as well.
edit. Kelly is a damn good coach (his Cinci teams routinely played well above their talent level).

I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that you call that play without fear of penalty because it almost never happens. There is enough gray area in the timing of the flag being thrown that would suggest that it was a pre determined penalty...because of jimbo being in the refs ears. It was definitely thrown before the ref could determine if the pass crossed the neutral zone.
The call doesn't bother me. The incompetence of the crew directly after bothers me. Missed a helmet removal which would have resulted in a 1st down. Called an interception on the last play even though the defender was two feet out of bounds. Both calls were the responsibility of the official who threw the "controversial" flag. The irony of all of this is that that official was part of the crew that received official reprimands following the FSU Miami game a couple of years ago for not understanding the rules.

Shoot. Adam Choice is out, making our bad running game even more abysmal.
Last time I was at the Swamp was the FSU game last season. I managed to scalp tickets on the 50 yard line, press box side. I was in a sea of Gatas. However, I sat next to an older couple that, to this day, are easily one of the nicest people I've ever met. I've had more problems fighting our own fans in Tally than fighting Gatas in the Swamp.
Miami fans are shit, and they know it too.

Two Oklahoma State players arrested for falling asleep drunk in a Whataburger drive-through. At least they had the good sense to do it at a Whataburger and not a Taco Bell like Josh Gordon and another Baylor player did a few years ago.

Truth. The people that think fleetingly about the program while wearing the clothes, then.
Yes. Both times under Muschamp. Usually when a team is so dominating defensively, it's a blowout the other way. But under Muschamp, the Gators are so bad that we get blown out.

@RedditCFB Kenny Hill "allegedly" drunk, puking in a trash can less than 36 hours before loss to Alabama.

True, Sto0ge could have axed him just as well. It all depends on who had the quicker trigger. Odds are on you though, since you post here more than my Texas compatriot. 3:1 odds it was you. Even Chicko would take those odds.
what about your fellow alumnus TDG?. I think his avatar was Calvin throwing a snowball.

It could have just been the "flu" that always runs "rampant" through locker rooms this time of year.

I mean, anything can happen in a rivalry game I guess. If state loses to Michigan, it'll probably hurt 10x as much.

I can't believe I have to cheer for Michigan this week.
Did Manziel ever graduate to Thursday night drinking?
Sounds like a firable offense to me. (Get it?)
I'd say way more than 2, but I don't think many will dispute he is a defensive genius. Even now he clearly can coach a defense. It is the one phase of the game we aren't shit out. He just isn't a head coach. Stick him as a DC anywhere else, and he will shine. Put an offense in front of him, and you'll think a 10 year old in Bumfuck, GA is just really excited to play you as his Falcons in Madden.
Cyan, stooge, duckroll....who will be our dark knight?

Reportedly, Haden is a coward and a punk ass, thus prompting this outburst
... honestly I don't know, but I've read reports that LenDale White tried to get in the locker room to talk to the team after the game last weekend, and Haden had him escorted from the stadium or something? I dunno, something like that.

ttk, put UF vs Bye so I can pick against them.
I dunno, have you seen the girls in Athens? He might stick around for a bit.
That's a very good point. The other option is that UGA could name him the head coach in waiting. But, I don't see that happening, I think that's Bobo's job. Bobo could have taken another job by now and has had offers and turned them down. Wouldn't be shocked if there's an unofficial understanding between Richt and Bobo about that.

I read some of the cop's quotes in that article in a long southern drawl out to my wife last night and we couldn't stop laughing.It was impossible to repeat this phrase without cracking up halfway through.
I was immediately overwhelmed with a very strong odor associated with an alcoholic beverage coming from the car.
