College Football 2016 Week Six: Hail Married, Together Forever
- Thread starter Lonestar
- Start date
UGA gave up their 130 rooms at a Holiday Inn to hurricane evacuees. USCe is putting them in an undisclosed location not accessible to the public. This sounds like it's going to be a logistical disaster.
That non-public facility is part of the "judicial system." And it's not a jail. Are they having the team sleep in a courtroom? What a disaster.
UGA had offered the use of Sanford Stadium for the game, but obviously USCe didn't want to do that.
I don't know if this is worthy of posting but it was somehow just posted today from the Athens Banner-Herald. Tennessee fan arrested for getting a little out of control after the game and fighting and taunting UGA fans.

Interesting piece about this whole debacle. Foley's a sly piece of work.
You think it's easy to set up a football game a day of two after a hurricane swept through? Get real.
There's a reason no AD's were wanting to go there while he was still going to be working as Emeritus Athletic Director or whatever it was. He's got an iron grip on that program and gets his way.

It isn't. That's why they should have moved it to another location. I don't blame Florida because they're doing what's in their best interest. It's the SEC's job to take control of the situation.
It isnt but has been done multiple times including this hurricane.
Again this is the SECs fault. I understand Florida not wanting to play the game (although if the situation was reversed and Florida needed to play the games they would be doing everything to make it happen) but not playing it is dumb and could potentially undermine the whole season the conference should step in and force it to be played.
I think it's showing that Sankey is not as forceful of a commissioner as Mike Slive was. The conference should have laid down the law, but it looks like they left it up to the schools to sort things out.

None of our OSUn fans better have voted that way in this poll.

What happened to 13 years? Surely such a superior program would still be able to handle a team they own during a slight dip.
Going 6-6 one season, the horror!
Sets things up nicely for Kiffin to be the next head coach at Oregon. Tell me that wouldn't be perfect for USC and having the potential for him to post "3:14 AM - LAX" every year.

Can't wait to lose to BYE this week, I hear they're pretty tough
You laugh, but LSU is already holding an L from this bye week.

RT @DanWolken: NCAA announces it has separated the Ole Miss football investigation from the rest of the case, which went through COI process already
RT @MckeeMike: @DanWolken is that good or bad news for Miss?
RT @DanWolken: Well, it confirms the NCAA is still looking for more or already has more - and resolution could take awhile.

But Kiffin having to be around Phil Knight would be great.

How is BC so good on defense but so bad on offense?

You sure about that defense?

Yeah, came back and it is already out of hand.
Still statistically one of the best defenses for the last few years, which is baffling.

Why couldn't LSU and Florida move their game to Sunday like UGA and USCe?

Hurd is out this week. According to second-hand reports, he didn't even make the trip. Without Kirkland Jr., Maybin, Sutton, and now Hurd, I just don't see how we come out of college station with a win tomorrow.
The only positive I can think of from this development is that Debord can't just consecutively hand the ball off to Hurd on 1st and 2nd down anymore. He might have to wake up from his nap during the first half and actually open up the playbook.

I mentioned to Gondo earlier that if I was offered a guarantee that every single team left on the schedule would score exactly 45 points on us, no more and no less, I would probably take it.
Until you have reached that point, you know NOTHING.

What is Mack Brown even talking about?
So when someone on the Duke message boards suggests that Duke could use Hurricane Matthew in a recruiting pitch..i.e, appeal to the kids parents that he's safer in NC away from those hurricanes, it just has a troll post, right. I mean nobody could post that and continue to take themselves seriously.
Really nothing made much sense. It's a reasonable question.
I guess, but hurricanes have been known to hit NC as well. This guy tho, he fixates on the weirdest shit about the team or program. I'm going with troll

For the last few minutes I've been pondering what state/city in the US is safest from natural disasters. Natural disasters include hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, blizzards, and volcano eruptions. Safest city I can think of so far is...Las Cruces NM?

Well...
Florida did everything they could to avoid playing the game because it gave them a scheduling advantage. They removed arguably the best team left on their schedule without any consequence.

Jjasper, buddy, it was the logistical nightmare of trying to plan a football game in a hurricane. There is nothing easy about that, regardless of the dozens of times this has happened seamlessly in the past 20 years.

The Teebs just spit fire on Josh Dobbs to hype him up on Sportscenter.
"Play for 4 quarters and get it done."
The last time he did that, he walked with a Nat'l Championship. The time before that, he gathered 2 of every animal and put them on a boat.

You can't out-pessimist me! We're totally gonna lose in some late game number/collapse.
