On the other hand, I've never seen the USC fanbase so united on any single issue.

Busy ass weekend, so I couldn't join the bitch fest, but holy shit Manny Diaz needed to get fired after that game.
Hey, they just ripped the most rushing yards on our defense in the HISTORY of our school, you would think they would make some adjustments.
Manny disagreed, and stuck with the fucking nickel, leaving out fucking center wide open for a gashing every time a defensive lineman screwed up.
Also, I was alright with this season, until I heard that Manny's way to fix out bad tackling was to make sure we had more people in the area. I wanted to punch my radio when I heard that. Yes, gang tackling is a good thing, but it doesn't fucking replace fundamentals!
Oh well, with two prestige job openings this offseason, every coach in America worth his salt is going to get paid. I imagine a lot of middle tier schools are going to offer fat extensions in October.

You bring up a good point. Saban probably thinks he's coming to Austin to interview for the head coaching position, but Mack Brown's pompous ass is probably hoping he'll come on board as DC and "head coach in waiting". At that point Saban will chuckle, and without saying a word, get back on the plane to Alabama.
Oh I get it. Texas as in the state, not the school. Good one!
This is why CNN dropped SI for Bleacher Report. BR is just better quality journalism.
@davidubben said:
For those not keeping track, this means that Gary Patterson complained about LSU reinstating a player sans suspension because "that doesn't teach life lessons" but now is actually splitting out one quarter of one of his own player's two game suspension and just throwing it in somewhere else on the schedule where he thinks it fits better so his star player can get some playing time before the first conference game.
::edit::
Patterson didn't say when Fields would serve the final quarter of his suspension.
"We've got a whole full season for that," Patterson said.

I'm pretty sure Kingsbury got one in 2001.

Deloss Dodds can't leave.
Not because of the quality of his administration, or that he is old, but because of politics.
Rick Perry has been at war with President Powers and the Board of Regents for the last 3 or 4 years. Perry says he is trying to lower tuition to the university, but if you look at the policies he is trying to implement, they look a lot like something you would find at the University of Phoenix instead.
In this bitchfest, Perry has been blocking new hires at administrative levels. The reason Bev Kearny was such a thorn in our side is because Perry would have had to approve of the settlement.
In other words, we have a year and a half more of this shit, and then clean house at the AD. President Powers will hopefully find the new governor more agreeable to him, or at least as weak as all previous governors have been.
I remembered hearing something to that effect but I couldn't remember if it was Dodds or the President who was trapped because of Perry and thus didn't want to comment. Regardless, given the situation you present it's still an unstable spot at AD for a new coach to have to deal with, which is what I was alluding to. It's still an AD on his last legs that nobody wants around but can't get rid of (but who will be gotten rid of at the earliest possible opportunity). Not what many top head coaching candidates would be willing to walk into unless the moneyhats are really just incredibly oversized or there is some other alumnus type connection.
Lane Kiffin is a coach with NFL and SEC experience, many programs would be lucky to have someone with his background. Unreasonable Trogans who couldn't even tell you who coached the program before Pete "The Humanitarian" Carroll are going to irreparably damage things if listened to by the administration.

I know you're joking, but considering how many times I've heard "Hackett" in the last couple days... :jnc

We will find out who won the legislature soon enough. Wallace Hall, a Perry plant on the Board of Regents, is facing impeachment by the State House for basically being Ken Starr, wasting money on politically based investigations that lead to nothing. This has cooled the governor's train, and if he is ousted, I think you could officially declare Powers as the winner.

I'm relieved that Perry won't be running for governor again, but my impatience with our AD won't last till the end of his term. Also, Deloss is just a year or so away from an annuity which is why he would probably never resign on his own...at least until he reaches the annuity plateau

He isn't, that's why I said wait a year and a half in the previous post.

It's on the LHN. There's no better programming to broadcast in primetime
They could have aired LHN Cribs: Manny Diaz Edition.
Might help him in the real estate market.
Hah, I forgot about that. We watched a lot of pre-game coverage on LHN this past weekend. I was pretty impressed in general by the depth of the coverage (no surprise). If I was a diehard Longhorn fan rather than an adoptive one, I'd be pretty happy to have it finally. The broadcast on LHN that had all of the different camera angles and shit was sensory overload.

I do believe that's how we found out that he was fired. Someone found out his home was for sale on Sunday.
For Texans in general. First governor post reconstruction to have real power, and it turns out the damn former slave holding racists were right about one thing.
We were nationally irrelevant in the Callahan era (2004-2007) outside of that we've been relevant in practically every year that someone on GAF has been alive. Since 1961 Nebraska has had two seasons with a losing record (2004 & 2007). In the last 15 years Nebraska has won at least nine games in eleven of them. How do other high performing schools of the same era/high profile programs look?
Oklahoma: 11 of 15 seasons
Florida: 10 of 15 seasons
Alabama: 7 of 15 seasons
USC: 9 of 15 seasons
Texas: 13 of 15 seasons
Michigan: 9 of 15 seasons
tOSU: 10 of 15 seasons
If you're looking for a program that consistently performs at a high level over time Nebraska is easily among the top of all time (duh) and that includes the past 15 years.
What's up with the plus sign? Do I REALLY have to point out what the college football scene looked like in 1997? You sir, have failed your College Football Expertise test. We will see you in summer school. Have a good day.
The Real OSU's AD had this to say:

These exposes are starting to make me mad, because regardless of if they are true or not, nothing will happen either way because the NCAA is a joke.
They'll be outside of the NCAA's umbrella before they have a chance to investigate the claims, much less pronounce a punishment.
Predictions on what SI found? I'm guessing money from boosters to recruits or players based on play.
I'm ready for the damn article to be published already.
It apparently focuses on the Les Miles era and the types he recruited to campus. Gundy kicked 15 or so players off the team when he started in 2005.
Most of the sources for the story are apparently disgruntled former players who flunked out, failed drug tests, or left because of disciplinary problems. No current players or coaches were interviewed for the story, and most of the accusations regard Les and former special teams coach Joe DeForest (now at WVU).
It'll definitely be interesting, but I don't think it'll do much damage to the program based on what I've heard. I think the angle will be "this is how college football really works," rather than "Oklahoma State is particularly corrupt and reprehensible." I guess we'll see.
DOOM.

So what you're saying is that T Boone paid them in cash while be recorded at a coke party in a brothel just last week.
I thought that kind of stuff only happened at SEC schools. Why is OSU getting all uppity?
People need to calm down about the Texas loss. BYU has a long history of putting dominant RBs into the NFL.
Seriously though, Taysom Hill was doing this last season before his injury too. If the kid could learn to throw with some consistency, we could be crazy good.
One thing I'm irked about though is that both Hill and Williams have had great games in the past, but nobody wants to give them credit. Nobody is saying that they played well, only that Texas sucked. If I were those two, I'd be pissed off going into the next game trying to prove it wasn't a fluke.

Because there is no reason we shouldn't have played in 4-3 in the second half instead of nickel.
True, but I honestly don't think it would have helped a whole lot. Nobody was getting off of blocks. It's like they gave up after Hill's second big run.

Former Gator walk on did an AMA. Some interesting (to me) stuff. Apparently Driskel is well liked internally.

Haha, yeah, the NCAA never does anything
It's true that they won't ever do anything like they did to us again.
