He's rumored to be the top candidate for Louisiana Tech's head coaching job... but if he takes that over a spot at FSU (even in an assistant role), I'd be shocked.Sirpopopop said:
Yeah man, by not playing big boy BCS football he really sold his future short. We all know Baylor pumps out way more NFL superstars than TCU does. Just look at their alumni list: Mike Singletary, Gary Baxter, Cody Carlson, uh... did I say Mike Singletary?

Even if he was a walkon, my point still stands (at least with regards to Baylor).

There is a silver feature for $5 a month.
I would like to subscribe as well, but I have no idea where I will get the money.

No board is nuttier than the Rutgers message board.
A local reporter actually did a scathing story on the reactions to a b-ball recruit choosing Duke over Rutgers. I think quite a few posters said they wanted the kid to "die", "Break a leg",etc.
Also, there was an incident last year with some guy threatening a football recruit who choose V-Tech.
I would just like to say that it's complete and utter horse shit that the UCLA Store still isn't selling Bruce Davis jerseys. (Watch this if you don't understand why I want one.) Oh well, at least they got St. Patrick ones in!
I'm such a merchandising whore. 
you mean baron davis, right?Karakand said:I would just like to say that it's complete and utter horse shit that the UCLA Store still isn't selling Bruce Davis jerseys. (Watch this if you don't understand why I want one.) Oh well, at least they got St. Patrick ones in!

Big story from Gene Williams on Rivals.. sounds like the Jimbo signing is almost a done-deal.. just hammering out the salary (which could be tough) and he might be announced as early as tomorrow as the new OC. We might bring in Lawrence Dawsey from USF to be our new WR Coach and Rick Trickett from WVU to be our new OL coach.
Give us those 3 and we're back in the MNC game in 2 years tops.

There are gonna be alot of deadly offenses next year.
Jake Long has said again that he will be back which will give us 3 out of 5 starters back on the O-line with pretty much every skill player of merit. Now if only Carr could get Branch and Crable to come back.

Northern Illinois, they've got Garrett Wolfe who was one of the better do everything backs in college football this year. Kinda like Memphis with Deangleo Williams last year. I thought he had a good game against OSU but I might be remembering wrong.
Quick question on pick'em do I assign more points or fewer points to the games I feel better about?

Oh I'll be watching it (I even knew the other team playing!) on one of my TVs tonight. I was just participating in everyone's favorite passtime in this thread: trolling mid-major football to get a rise out of threeball.

You assign more points to the games you're more sure about.

Yeah, that game was a bore.
Next year, we'll see threeball play in this bowl. That should be fun. Maybe, he can be GAF's very own Rudy story.

Man, the MAC is looking GREAT this year so far in bowl play 
That mohawk guy on TCU's team was awesome. Too bad that wasn't threeball. Speaking off, we should pour one out in his honor.
I'm 1/1 in picking the bowl games so far!!!

Holy shit, this kid is a sophmore.. figured he was 12 at most. <3 Myron Rolle.

The only game I've got the MAC winning in bowl play is CMU over MTSU. Nobody listens to me though.
Ohio will get crushed by Southern Miss, as So Miss is just a better program.
Western Michigan plays Cincy. Cincy normally should destroy them, but their coach bolted for Michigan State and they're left with a new coaching staff trying to implement changes in about 3 weeks worth of time. Doesn't seem very likely. Talent alone should carry Cincy, but Western kept tight with some solid teams this year that are better than Cincy, including Florida State, so I've got Western in an upset.
The MAC only had one team that really deserved to play in a bowl. The two best teams in the league are Central Michigan and Western Michigan this year, who play in the same division. Oh well. That "Seven win" rule is stupid.

So I too took the plunge and bought a premium pass for Rivals. The premium boards are a lot saner, but there are still a lot of assholes. However, at least it's not the cesspool that are the non-premium Rivals boards. It's pretty pathetic seeing grown ass 30 year old men tearing down 16 year old kids for no real reason at all. So much for maturity.
Man, Rutgers fans strike me as worse than Notre Dame fans. It's a combination of Giants, Jets, and Eagles fans all converging together for one interest.
Still, the service is certainly worth the price.

What was that again? TCU can't play real football? Let's compare them to the #1 team in the nation:
Ohio State beats Northern Illinois 34-12 at HOME.
TCU beats Northern Illinois 37-7 on a NEUTRAL SITE.
Ohio State allows 340 total yards to Northern Illinois.
TCU allows 60.
Ohio State allows Garrett Wolfe to rush for 140-170 yards(can't remember)
TCU allows him to run for 28 yards on 20 carries, without counting his recieving yards which was in the negatives
TCU has more total yards on offense.
TCU allows 0 defensive touchdowns, a meaningless blocked punt for a touchdown in mop up time was NIU's only score.
Northern Illinois coach says TCU had a quicker and faster, overall better defense than Ohio State, and said that the offense was better at every position except the QB.
I guess TCU can't play real football after all.

Someone has to replace that crazy ass long snapper. I nominate threeball! He'll talk some shit about Dragon Quest OR ZELDA (are you trying to get banned again?!?) to get the defensive linemen all riled up.
Heh, College Football Talk is saying that Chuck Amato will be returning to FSU in a defensive coaching capacity. There's chatter that we're going to be getting Rick Trickett as well when it looked like we might not a few days ago... crossing my fingers. Coaching dream team could be coming into place very soon.

Should have hired Richt too and made 2007 the new 1999.
Welcome back 3ball
Oh yeah-- Threeball. I watched the Ohio State/ NIU game. Ohio State had their starters off the field halfway through the first half, and scored all their points by the 2nd quarter and coasted for the game. NIU was throwing up TDs well into the 4th quarter.
You guys just beat a handicapped football team-- way to go. Seriously... that's some Horned Frog football at it's finest. You should be proud that you're about to take part in such a deep football tradition that includes getting stomped by great teams and mutilating shitty teams.
