They lost by more TDs than Te'o had unassisted tackles.
I'm not a Finebaum fan but anybody that is seriously disputing a couple calls in a game where the winner was never in question has no grip on reality. Aka a Domer.Hard to blame him for cutting off a Domer who wanted to bitch seven months later about two missed calls that cost Notre Dame the game.

Check out Deadspin's new article on the history of the Manziel clan.
Long story short, the Manziels have a long history of being unscrupulous white trash shysters.

Well, I guess JFF no longer needs to buy an ancestry.com subscription. Some reporter at deadspin researched his family history/lineage for him. Does that count as an improper benefit?
Next thing you'll be telling me that JFF was scared straight when he saw the horrific punishment that Oregon received.

Not really. You guys should always get 1st picking from FL

Nice article on Amari Cooper.
Helps me realize, that because of the NCAA's "case" against Miami, helped caused the coaching change, that got both Cooper and Teddy Bridgewater out of their plan to go to Miami together.
Thanks for putting your foot in your mouth, NCAA!

Did a quick look over Michigan's recruiting class and they must have been a finalist for the all name team with commits like Taco Charlton, Jake Butt, Henry Poggi, and Csont'e York, among others.
Bonus points for Butt being a tight end. The jokes are so obvious I don't think they even qualify as jokes.

Glad to see Taco is doing well, went to my high school, now hopefully we can be known for 3 players! Him, Zach boren, and this guy:

Speaking of Ohio highschools, will any coach recruit out of Steubenville? They used to be known for their talent, but if I was a coach I wouldn't touch that highschool after what happened. The school and community was dragged through the mud and rightfully so, but at the same time, it does punish the innocent players and families who did nothing wrong. Hopefully those prospects are allowed to transfer to a nearby highschool if they so choose.
Only competition Florida has is FSU and arguably Miami. South Florida is really a 2.5 man race. I don't think UCF, USF, FAU, or FIU are going to steal away any recruits anytime soon.
Florida has enough recruits for everyone. Georgia and Bama always recruit that state well.
South Florida is pretty hard to recruit.. UGA regularly gets commits from Orlando, Tallahassee, and even Tampa area. But Miami is harder. They have one committed for next year from Homestead, FL and one from Plantation, FL. Both are pretty close to Miami.
Former 5 star QB recruit Kiehl Frazier has asked to be moved to safety over on the plains. Lol
Basically, he couldn't handle the stress of being QB and he got beat out in camp by Nick Marshall and Jeremy Johnson.

Probably to make up for having their DE, Dee Ford, tear his MCL.
Though really, it's just getting the Barners to yell out Lawson randomly (i.e. Carl Lawson).
Looked at a recruiting site (247) for the 1st time in months, and of course Alabama is #1.
Surprised to see that Tennessee is 2nd (though already at 24 commits, while other teams have room to grow).

You gaiz just flipped a lineman from Iowa; which pretty much destroyed their class. Poor Kirk Ferentz.
BTW how is Anthony Averret(sp) doing (the kid from Woodbury, NJ). I was kinda shocked that he pulled a Bama offer.
Could be, from that article it sounds like he doesn't have the mental capacity to handle the stress of the position. Which is fine, most people don't. Also sounds like he got beat out for QB spot and he thought he had a better shot at playing at safety.
Yeah 247 shows that, Rivals has Tennessee at #1? The hell?
Haven't heard any mention. At least nothing good, but he's a DB, and DB's never do good at the beginning under Saban. But he'll get taught the Saban way, and will eventually have a chance to succeed. I assume he'll redshirt, but Saban has no quarrels over putting anyone on special teams, redshirts be damned.
Pretend Defensive Depth Chart for 3 years, no assumptions of redshirts going forward.
As of now, he's minimum 5th on the Safety Depth chart, unless he can beat out players that have been at school for a few years already. He won't surpass HaHa, Landon Collins, or Vinny Sunseri (well, maybe he can pass Vinny ;P ). Haven't seen much out of Nick Perry or Jarrick Williams, and this is Nick's last year. Only fellow new Safety is a 28 year old baseball player (Jai Miller, who looks like he might be pretty good)
Miami 4/5 on those lists. Nice.
ESPN has F$U, Bama, Tennessee and Miami as their top 4.
I'm not trying to start something, but why would a guy like that who isn't Mormon choose BYU? Is he religious otherwise?
Same question that SEC fans have for top recruits that chose Ole Miss this last year. Why would you do that?

He has decided to take a vow of celibacy and being at BYU removes the temptation.
I'm really curious what happened to him and Oregon. Not long ago he gushed about them in an article where he talked about all the schools recruiting him, said they were his dream school and stuff like that. Seemed a lot more into the Ducks than the other schools he mentioned. Fast forward and he cancelled his Oregon visit right after he went on a visit to Tech, then committed to BYU a day or two later.
Nick Kurtz said:
He went from that to cancelling a visit and committing somewhere else in 3 weeks.
Multiple wives.
I would guess it's easier to get noticed if you are the standout receiver than be one of many at a school like Oregon. Big fish in the little pond and whatnot.

Is it any coincidence our troubled wide receivers transfer to Arizona? A few years ago it was Dan Buckner, and now Caleb Jones is transferring to Arizona. For those that don't remember, Caleb Jones was the kid who broke the jaw of a UT tennis player after he saw him at a club with a girl he also liked.

Texas wins the merchandise national championship for the eighth straight year.

Though it's kinda like winning the old Bowl Alliance, the power houses in the Big 10 and Pac 12 don't pay in it.

Over the past few years we've been the Dallas Cowboys of college football. We've had bad to mediocre results on the field, and our leadership has been questionable, but merchandise sales are still the highest in its class.
I bought a Texas hat when I was in Texas last November. I needed something to keep the sun out of my eyes
Didn't Connor Brewer go to AZ from UT as well?

Hmm not sure. I know he's from the state of Arizona so that wouldn't surprise me if he chose AZ
He did.

Eh, I still think Miami can be harder to recruit. There is always going to be a pressure on the kids there to go to Miami and try and revive the program. It's obviously a lot easier now that Miami has been sucking.

I remember that Frank Gore was committed to Ole Miss up until the night before Signing Day. I read a long article with quotes from he and his mom about how he was excited to start somewhere fresh and far away from Miami. Yeah.
Around themsame time, Deangelo Williams chose Memphis over Ole Miss because his preacher picked Memphis out of a hat that also had OM and Arkansas pieces of paper in it. Either of them would've played with Eli in the early aughts.

Kyle Field is such a fucking ugly stadium, at least from the outside.mre said:
It looks weirdly massive from a distance. I don't know if it's just the way it sits, but it looks huge.
I'm not sure why I'm fixating on the stadium on that cover.
It does look weird now that you mention it. It has 3 sections that don't seem to be tied together. It's awkward. And then one end zone is just kind of.. there. There's nothing behind it. They're definitely going to have to get on their expansion game now that they s'posed to be SEC.

Still doesnt look as awful as what penn st calls a stadium.
