Coach Pete's contract:

Please don't call him Coach Pete.

Please don't call him Coach Pete.

Yeah there's already one coach Pete in Washington on the NFL level. No room for 2

It's what he's been called since he started coaching at Boise, probably too late for it to change.

He's just Pete. Pete and Coach Pete.

If Carol was Brass Balls Pete, Peterson should be Blue Balls Pete...

Petersen's a great hire even at that price. Y'all traded up.

Why would you, when you have so many to choose from over the past ten years?

 

[KingGondo]

I've heard rumors that Petersen is a Scientologist. Any truth to that?

 

[cdyhybrid]

If only football started 10 years ago.

Stretch that streak to 25 straight and you'll finally even up the series.

So I heard some UO players might be getting punished for their part in the classless snowball antics the other day?

Starting TE Pharoah Brown suspended for the bowl game?

 

[Gorillaz]

Being a Browns fan is basically the sports equivalent of being stabbed sixteen times, shot in the face, and set on fire.

And then you're brought back to life in the spring for the draft and made to endure the process over again every single year for the rest of your life.

So people expect me to cry "bitter tears" when Ohio State loses one freaking game? GTFO.

I got buds that are just as emotionally conditioned like that as well. It's like they don't have a soul anymore after being a brownie for so long. I salute yall

We need all the suspension we can get to have any shot at this game. I hope Mariota threw some snowballz at a pedestrian.

BTW where's Kevtones? I'm sure he's disappointed that Oregon went from MNC contender, to BCS bowl contender, to facing an unranked team in a middling bowl, but I would like to hear his analysis of Oregon leading up to the game.

Yeah, and maybe a few more. Not sure who else.

I blame reddit.

There's an academic performance bonus section right there in the image.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

It's an interesting perspective, as she has the requisite experience to be able to pattern-match here. I'm still inclined to think it's more likely than not the victim was telling the truth, but that's not enough to convict someone. In any case it's clear that the investigation was poorly-handled.

And yes, don't read the comments.

I'm obviously biased, but I'm inclined to believe she lied. Yes, she had bruises on her knees, from giving him oral sex. I had not heard about the blood in the underwear, but there was no evidence of a forceful act. No tearing or anything like that. I've seen blood in my girlfriend's underwear before too? But how did that get there? Hmmm....

The author of the editorial seems to be skewing the story to make her case.

What's the "acceptable" baseline for APR? I thought it was 1000 for the NCAA.

 

[Meier]

For the second year in a row, a redshirt freshman has topped the college football season’s final HeismanPundit.com Heisman Straw Poll.

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston collected seven out of 10 possible first-place votes and totaled a season-best 26 points from the weekly survey of Heisman voters, putting him on the verge of becoming a landslide winner of the most prestigious trophy in sports.

...

To get to this point, Winston set NCAA freshman records this season for passing yards (3,820) and passing touchdowns (38) and produced a passer rating of 190.06, just below the all-time efficiency mark of 191.78 held by Russell Wilson of Wisconsin. If, as the poll predicts, Winston goes on to win the Heisman, he’ll do so with the highest passer rating in the trophy’s history.

Full results:

The HeismanPundit.com Heisman Straw Poll, 12/9/2013

4. Tre Mason, RB, Auburn — 5 (1)

930 is the minimum before sanctions. 1000 is a "perfect" APR.

I'm pretty sure the Outback Bowl gift is a choice of Beats headphones or taking over lease payments on a Chrysler.

It's a Chrystler. I'm pretty sure you could trip into one.

Tre Mason
AJ McCarron
Andre Williams
Jameis Winston

 

[Lonestar]

6 finalists, huh.

I expect AJ to be #6, though USA today had a poll from 30 or 40 voters, and he ended up 2nd, ahead of Mason (but it's a FR landslide)

I'm especially happy for Andre Williams.

 

[Balphon]

Who are we expecting to win, Jameis?

Andre Williams. Believe.

 

[AntoneM]

Lol, Sankey and Carey are better than any of the RB's on the Heisman list.

 

[ag-my001]

I'd like to see Andre Williams get the recognition, doing incredible work against a stacked box all season. But this year will likely be another "best player on the best team" year.

 

[cdyhybrid]

That's what the Doak Walker is for. The Heisman isn't about being the best player.

But I will say, both are solid backs, but they have too many carries and their YPC isn't great enough.

 

[bucknuticus]

If Hyde hadnt missed 3 games we would be in the running, with a legit chance to win it.

Feel like he's not really getting any recognition from any outlets at all.
He's not even getting talked about as top Rb in the draft yet
