The problem is they're really expensive and the school allotment seats are in shitty sections. You could go on ticketmaster and stubhub and get better seats for less money. There's really no reason to go through the school.

Oh, those silly WAC schools and their marketing hi-jinks.
Well.
Tommy Tuberville tried this at Tech and it worked out splendidly.
Well what?
Well what?
I really had nothing else to follow up my "well" with. I sat there for 5 minutes with "well" typed out, and finally just said "fuck it" and hit "submit reply."

It's very odd. We seem to be incredible at developing talent to get to the NFL, but somehow that doesn't translate into as many wins as you'd think it should. In the past few years, we have had really bad luck with injuries, which I think is part of it. I'm not sure there's anything they can do about that either. We just have this knack for recruiting great players that are just too damn soft.
In his defense, when he originally decided to transfer he probably expected he'd have more than 3 schools to choose from.
He apparently told Gundy he wanted to leave OSU to be closer to family. I'm definitely curious what happened behind closed doors between them.
I'm sure he'll do fine at Illinois, and I wish him the best.

I'm not. It'll probably look like DickRod tying to force Steven Threet into his shitty ass read-option system.
If the kid gets called on it, he'll just say something like with all the help they provide student athletes that he can't help but pass.
Yep, there's no chance that the author of that article will apologize for it being misleading or anything
Speaking of Lunt, Gundy apparently called his HS coach a couple weeks ago and released him to transfer to the SEC.
See? Gundy is a man, he's 45, and he's reasonable.

"Kate Hairopolous of the Dallas Morning News reports Texas A&M redshirt sophomore QB Johnny Manziel gave serious consideration to transferring after he was suspended for the 2012 season following an offseason arrest.
Obviously the suspension was later reduced following an appeal, and Manziel went on to claim the starting quarterback job over Jameill Showers. The latter is the one who ended up transferring. Manziel was arrested and charged with a few misdemeanors related to an incident outside of a bar following his redshirt season. The Aggie quarterback has had an eventful offseason."

Shower's new team plays aggy this season. If he starts then at least theres some intrigue in that game.

Hey Monoeski:
Did you hear the new details about the new video board at the Jones?
LED panels are now all up and installed.
Speaker arrays going in now. 250,000 Watts of power for the sound system.
Best part: built into the top deck of the gigantic structure will be two electronically controlled and choreographed integrated pyrotechnic decks, on either side of the Texas Tech sign at the top. So the fireworks display after TDs should be better than ever. Can't wait for the first night game. #ATMO

Is it just me or is there a massive Chinese defense force on GAF that always likes to defend cruelty by people from China by pointing out how the U.S. is just as bad? Even when the U.S. has nothing at all to do with a story in question. I mean I would make a comment in the threads on these articles to that effect, but I'm not willing to risk getting banned.
It's starting to get to the levels where I might just follow bluemax and ChiTown out of here.
On a related note - I used to be anti-mega thread, but now I'm pro-mega thread. Why? I feel like I can make more honest comments in a mega thread than I can in the OT threads on subjects.

Eh, I basically use Gaf to look at gaming news and look at the OT for funny/weird stories. I enjoy this college football board the best since I like bullshitting with all of you; and theres not tons of douches like other CFB boards.

In football news - Rutgers & Wazzu signed a 1 & 1.
The Wazzu home game is being played at the Seahawks stadium.

No need to leave completely. There's a reason my posting has dropped off significantly/completely in threads other than this one. Too many dumb arguments out there that end up with you saying dumb things you don't actually believe in the first place and don't know why you said them.
Lord help me if I ever go into politics and somebody tracks this account back to me.
I'd seen some threads about it but hadn't opened any of them. Sounds great.
SB Nation attempted to objectively answer: who are the most entertaining teams to watch in CFB?
http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/6/20/4445294/college-football-2013-teams-to-watch
OSU is #5.

Ga. Tech should be higher on that most entertaining list because of the student section crowd shots.
China comes up a lot since its in the news, but its not just China. Go read the thread about the SS commander hiding out in Minnesota and you can join the Elderly Nazi In Hiding Defense Force and talk about US war crimes.

I know. We should be #1 if for no other reason than the panstsing we gave Notre Dame.
I find great defense to be highly entertaining. The brute force, running offense is just a bonus. Mildly related:
Should come to Seattle and watch the game!
I, for one, found that game very entertaining.
suuuuuure
here is the Johnny Manziel season preview from that guy on shaggybevo
http://prevailandride.blogspot.com/2013/06/johnny-manziel-2013-season-preview.html
Nebraska #7. Seems about right. Our games are almost always interesting to watch for one reason or another. Usually means I'm on the brink of a heart attack for 3 hours as I sit despondently and wonder why my team can't perform consistently.

Nah, pretty sure most OU fans realize Bama is a better destination right now.
OU doesn't have the same recruiting clout they had 5 years ago. They're losing recruits to OSU, Aggy, SEC schools, and even Baylor.

I'll have to ask Bluemax about how he does the pick'em. Maybe I can convince him to finally do it on Yahoo
