It's hilarious how ESPN has been trolling Miami the last few days.
They posted this today on their CFB account on FB:
Miami Hurricanes Football and UCF Football are now looking for new coaches. Surprisingly, in the last 10 years, UCF has a better win percentage, more AP top-10 wins, and more bowl wins than Miami.
And on Sunday, one of their staffers posted the following regarding the perceptions of the coaching jobs:
The Miami job elicits more polarizing views than almost any in Power 5. Coaches from Power 5 programs I talked with are split: some say it's still a great job, others have concerns about admin support and infrastructure. Two agents told me tonight that all things considered, UCF might be a better job than Miami.
And of course publicizing the Charlie Strong sentiments...

And double post so the fuck what.
Should also watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1lU_63ckck
Especially because the "Stuff ___ Fans Say" is back with new material. A throwback from 2012. Appropriate given the GOL exit and Georgia.

Tennessee!, Tennessee!
Haha I feel like no other state has such a competitive school rivalry. It's literally UF vs FSU vs Miami vs UCF vs USF.

California?
I mean there are four California schools in the same conference and 3 of them have been in the top 10 this season.
Yeah, I think the next step in the targeting rules has to be ejecting an offensive player that's lowering his helmet and attempting to draw helmet to helmet contact. Though I'm not sure if the Baylor QB was trying to do that.
Yeah, California has a lot of teams with rivalries. That said, Auburn Alabama is probably the most intense rivalry I can think of.
They have that in the pros and it is never called.

How is this thread title NOT about the "Block Six"?
Well they need to change that. How many times have people in this thread noticed an instance of a defensive player being ejected who was trying to tackle correctly, but the offensive player lowered their head? The alternative is if they tell defensive players to stay far away from the midsection of an offensive player because they may lower their head, then the defensive players are going for the knees. Suddenly we have the equivalent of Chop Block U everywhere.
Baylor's starting a true freshman. An incredibly prepared true freshman, yes, but even freshmen have freshman games, as seen with Rosen this season.
Baylor has the weapons, but Stidham's going to make mistakes and possibly cost them a game.
Dunno about y'all but my quota of exciting game ending plays has been just about filled.

FSU meltdown is accurate: I was at an FSU viewing party watching it happen live. People were shrieking in tongues.

Well with an off week in prep for running all over Alabama, I guess I'll actually do Halloween stuff Saturday.

So does The U have so few fans at this point that they can't even muster a decent group meltdown?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
They had an article on recruiting. Showed all of the UM recruits tweeting while at the game. Lmfao
Neither of them felt like contributing.

I'm glad we've been scheduled for an afternoon game so I can plan my schedule accordingly.

You lucky, lucky bastard. I only know a couple of FSU people up here and all I did was text "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow" to them. I never got a response.

May have to watchespn the last quarter on my phone while taking my kid trick or treating. Thank god we live in the future.
To be honest I forgot about California when I said that.
It has nothing to do with where the schools are in the rankings, just how much they dislike each other.

Whats the point of ostentation when you can't show off your prized possessions to as many people as possible?

But...what would be the point?
It's inflatable... I'm really not seeing the problem other than the inevitable "popping" of the hot tub making a huge mess.
Did we talk yet about how George O'Leary is going to get paid $200k a year until 2020 for doing nothing at UCF?

Oh wow, Minnesota's Jerry Kill has stepped down to health reasons. Wonder if he had another episode?
Goddamn ..., he's one of the guys that you like to root for.

Pour one out for B1G Coach of the Year Jerry Kill.
(Sorry, had to do it one last time. All the best to him.)
Man, the turnover in B1G coaching jobs the past couple of years is crazy.

I don't want Flood to be fired this year, because it's insane the number of jobs that opened up.
USC/USC/Miami/Minnesota/Illinois/Maryland/UCF and it's just barely halfway through the football year.

Ah what a bummer about Jerry Kill. Tough week for MN sports. I really hope he's ok.
I was at the Gopher/Nebraska game- great seats, 15th row, 50 yard line. Kill had some moments where his head looked like it was going to explode. Hope he gets time to relax and focus on health.
Tracy Claeys did a great job last time he had to step down.
Beth Goetz, please don't take Bielema if he's available.
Also, obligatory dilly bar gif for Gopher football.
No snow for Sat unfortunately.

Hes just so darn forgettable.
Impressive:
That defense wasn't necessarily all time great performance wise, but NFL talent wise it might be up there.
That should actually worry Georgia fans.
